Problem after lens firmware update.

Hi.

Just updated my lens 18-55 f2.8-4 to newest firmware and straight after my lens or lens motor started buzzing like fly buzzing. Before never heard that everything was fine. Is thta update issue or something wrong happened with my lens after update?

Thank you

I think you are the third person (at least) I saw on this forum complain about this issue after the update. Please do a quick search of the message board to see what others had to say.

Hi, were you able to find a solution? I also updated mine today and I am facing the same issue. I feel like its gonna break its motors or something if I keep using it. I am extremely disappointed.

Hi

I don't know if it helps,

I had flashing screens and camera getting stuck on my XT-5 after some lens- and camera update ( 2 months ago).

I changed/switched the lenses I had on my camera, forced to switch the camera on, so to recognize the otherlens and also redid updates in single files on the card and the problem disappeared completely, fortunately I had no heavily buzzing sounds on 18-55 than some slight humming on the XT-2 when the camera is on, also check if sound disappears in playback modus.

Good luck

1. Is your camera running the latest firmware? Camera should be updated first if not.

2. Did you follow the update instructions properly? This update has two files in it. Make sure you don't copy the update folder to the card; open the folder and copy the two separate files to the card. The lens (apparently) should choose the correct update it needs.

Screenshots from Fuji's support site:

Showing the two separate files. Copy both to the card.

Thanks for replying. When I updated it, I had the update files for the camera body (x-t200) and the lens. So I updated the body first, no problem. Then I proceeded to update the lens, and the buzzing immediately started. So I will retry by using no other files except the lens update files on a newly formated sd card.
