The Fujifilm cameras numbering is:

1. The folder: The folders are numbered and start at 100, then it’s 101, followed by 102…
2. The frame number: Each folder can have up to 9999 images

Reformatting or changing the SD memory card may not reset the frame numbers. The keyword here is “may” It depends on the settings of:

It’s all in the serial number. The manufactured date is embedded in the serial number.

Where’s the serial number?

That depends on which Fujfilm camera model.

• The earlier models like X-PRO2, X-PRO1, X-T1, X-T10, X-T2, and X-T20, the serial number is usually on the battery compartment, there’s the serial number printed on the label attached to the bottom of the camera.
• The newer models like the X-H2 and X-H2s, the serial number is printed in the card slot.

The manufactured dates

• The serial number of my X-PRO2 starts with 63xxxxxxx
• The serial number of my X-H2s: starts with 3BAxxxxxx

And now it gets complicated:

For me, the most important for me is to have my photos in focus. My clients would not be happy if I delivered out of focus photos. In my defence, I could blame my Fujifilm camera that was set to priority focus :)

The other day, my Fujifilm X-H2s went dead. Almost nothing worked. I could turn the camera on and off and that’s it.

• No shutter button.
• No AF.
• No D-PAD.
• None of the function buttons worked.

Was it dead? Did I need to send it back for repair?

Fuji is not known for its flash system. The only reason I can use the Fujis for work is the Godox flash system that works very well with Fuji. I need wireless remote.

My main setup is a Fuji X-H2s and a Fuji X-PRO2 as backup. Then I use the Godox X1T-F as the master on the camera and a combination of Godox flashes with TT385 and TT685.

Both Godox and Nissin are coming with Fujifilm compatible flashes. But let’s agree that up to now, flash has not been a strong suit of Fujifilm X cameras.

Many people have problem with the flashes not working. The same happens in both TTL modes and manual modes.

This photographer is at the Reifel Bird Sanctuary and he uses a Canon 7D with Canon 500mmL /f4. It’s a great camera and an excellent lens but handheld? He doesn’t even kneel and support the lens with his knee/elbow. No dirt mark at the knees on his pants.

Imelda Marcos, the wife of Ferdinand Marcos, the ex-president of the Philippine, was famous for having a closet the size of a large bedroom with the walls having 1000s of pairs of shoes, costing millions of dollars.

These people belong to a photo club. They came to make photos of people rowing in False Creek, Vancouver, BC. There were 2 groups. This group was the ‘more bunched up’.

• ¾ of these photographers were guys and the other ¼ were women but all of them where in their 50+.

This photographer decided that he couldn’t take the time to set up and open his tripod. So he’s using his tripod as a monopod. It might work because he’s also leaning against the fence.

His tripod is an old aluminum Manfrotto tripod from the 1970s (meaning it’s very heavy). I have the same one, but without the foam around the legs. There is no model number on mine, but they look identical.
