Q: Has anyone else experienced a problem with their X10 after transferring pictures to an iPad?

Following the transfer of pictures to an iPad 2 or new iPad (3rd gen) via the SD Card Reader in Apple’s iPad Camera Connection Kit, the card has to be reformatted by the camera to get it to work properly. Not reformatting impacts the X10’s ability to turn on and off when turning the Zoom ring. Sometimes the indicator lamp just blinks (amber) and the camera turns on after approximately 20 seconds or does not turn on at all. In Playback mode, it also takes about 20 seconds before the camera monitor (display) comes up.  Once in Live or Playback mode the camera seems to operator normally and can switch back and forth. Although the issue is not completely debilitating – it limits my ability to back up and edit pictures on my iPad when traveling and severely impacts the camera’s ability to ready for a shot. My X10 has firmware Ver. 1.03 and both iPads are running iOS 5.1.1 – the latest available.

    I'm having the exact same problem with a Fujifilm X100 when using a 32GB SD card.  I tried it with an old 4GB card and it worked fine.  With the 32GB after connecting to the iPad with the SD Card reader the camera becomes unresponsive until reformatting.  Not sure if this is a problem with storage capacity of the cards?

     

    I'm running firmware version 1.3 on my camera and iOS 6 beta 4 on my iPad 3.
