So both my H1 and T2 have started doing the exact same thing at the sort of exact same time.

Two empty 64gb cards in slots. Both Sony cards on the Fuji "approved card" list.

Both cameras show from a high of 132 "frames remaining" and then just go down after that. If I burst through the 132 frames to see what happens, it gets to 0 and then says "card full."

There is no difference when I change Image Quality settings. "Raw+F" yields the same results as "Normal."

Sometimes, depending on the setting, H1 may show 1550 on the outside screen when power is off, but it goes back as soon as as the power is turned on again.

Very strange that it happens on both cameras at the same time.

Any insights?

It's very likely that both cards have been formatted as FAT which has a disk size limit of 2GB, even though they both are 64GB cards.

The SD card should be reformatted as FAT32 (after saving your images to your computer)

64GB cards should be formatted as exFAT.

You would have to go through a lot of effort to format a 64GB with a volume size of 2GB - not something you would do by accident (unless perhaps the cards have been formatted in some other device?).

What is also curious is the fact that changing the jpeg quality doesn't change the number of frames remaining - even if the volume size and file system was wrong this should still change.

If a picture is taken what is showing as the directory/frame number in the top right of the screen in playback? Is this approaching the maximum?

I'd also be curious if the OP can put one of the cards in a computer card reader and use the file explorer (or similar if not Windows) and check both indicated file system and capacity.

If there is a filesystem problem then the likely cure would be to format the cards in one of the cameras which should replace any existing volumes with an empty exFAT filesystem of the correct size.

If maximum directory/file numbers are being approached then they need to be reset.
