X10 takes three images simultaneously

[Canonman99]

I've just acquired my first Fuji, an X10, from my late brother's estate and need a little help. I've been through the menus and set it up to what I think I'll like but when I take a shot, I get three identical images each time, with consecutive file numbers. Can't find anything in the menus to correct this, so I hope someone can help.

It is set to Aperture Priority, Jpeg Fine, size M4:3, Dynamic range Auto, and AF-S on the front selector.

Thanks for any help.

Sounds like you have one of of the bracketing modes enabled. Press the drive button to check.

Thanks Phil, spot on!

On the top of the selector button is the trash/drive indicator. Enter "Drive" and you will notice various drive options. Somehow your camera got set to best frame capture. See pp.41-43 of the manual for the run-down on all the different drive options.

You will probably want "still image".

You can access the manual here.

Without getting into all the gruesome details (check any one of the 1000 posts on how to use the Fuji X10's EXR hardware in this forum if you are curious), the best setting for this camera is M file size and jpg.

Your brother picked a quirky but fun little camera! I am still using it five years later though I do have others with bigger sensors or more features.

Thanks for your help Peter. It certainly is a quirky little camera – so different from my 6D and easier to set up and more pleasant to handle than my Nex 7.

I'm taking a close look at the XT-2 at the moment, but I'm seriously invested in Canon L lenses and Fuji's top glass doesn't seem any smaller or lighter than Canon's.

There was a time when I, too, was seriously invested in Canon L lenses. I got into Canon a couple of years after Canon had made a change to its lens mount, p*ssing off a generation of professionals who were seriously invested in Canon lenses. A couple of years after I went all-in on Canon, Canon changed its lens mount again; then, a couple years after that, it changed it again, and I left Canon forever. I think Canon has changed the mount again since that time.

There are some corporate cultures who consider their existing customers as their greatest asset, and other corporate cultures that ask, “what have you done for us lately,” and disdain existing customers as the cohort who already have made their purchases, and thus are less favorable as prospects for new sales tomorrow. You can guess on which side I place Canon. Never again.

Fujifilm, on the other hand, just changes its .RAF format every five minutes; I can live with that.
