First post -- thanks for reading.

 

Anyone else running into this problem.  After about 30 minutes of shooting, my rear lcd stops working. Viewfinder is fine, but display is dead. If I go into the menu and reset "setup functions" it comes right back. It seems to be tied to the optical sensor. I trip the optical sensor, and then I can't get the rear display back.

 

Fuji advice was "glitch, continue to reset as needed."  Not encouraging.

Fuji service told you this?  This would not be acceptable to me. Reset would lose all your custom settings. I would ask for supervisor and not take no for an answer until they fix it or replace your camera.  Keep knocking on different doors (take good records, names and dates) or ask who the head of the service department is and send a certified letter to that person if you are prepared to wait.

 

People hate paper trails.  As much as they just want for you to go away along with your problem, they hate having a paper trail hanging over their head with their name attached to it even more. 

 

 

btw, I'm hoping that you may not have to do a reset in SW until this problem is resolved.  Pop the battery out, turn on the camera to drain the capacitors.   Then replace battery.  If its a HW glitch, this would effectively cause the reset signal to be sent to all HW components when power is returned. Turning camera on and off with battery installed may not be sending the HW reset signal and may be keeping some of the system in low power sleep mode to help it come back "on" faster.

The fact that it came back from an unrelated issue, frankly makes me worry even more.  They may have mishandled the circuit board.

 

Many HW glitches are power related.  Try to see if High Performance mode (no Power Management)  or a different battery makes any difference.  I'm curious if that will fix it without raising to much hell over there.   Might be worth a try.

 

I'd still make them look at it again, especially if the problem started after they touched it during the last service.

Oh my.  That sounds like a response I have received, and expected from Nikon in Melville NY!!!  I would call Fuji again.  I'm not sure where you are located but the Fujifilm USA service center in Edison NJ is absolutely fantastic!  I've been dealing with them since my original Fuji S1Pro circa 2004.  Give them a try and see what they have to say.  Their contact phone is:  732.738.1342

 

Good Luck!

Thanks everyone. I assume its a service issue for sure. Its a working body, and (luckily) been so busy I haven't had time to send it out. Will follow up with what I learn.

      pocket wizard and XT5?

      By LBAbrams · Posted

      Has anyone successfully used pocket wizards with an XT5? I cannot get it to fire.  Do Fujis and pocket wizards get along? Thanks in advance for your wisdom on this, kind readers!

      Grzegorz, Go to the Networking Setting in your camera menu (the last one at the bottom - unless you have a My Menu then that is the last one). There, go to Network Setting and choose the SSID (name) of your WiFi network, type in the password, choose "SET". If you have a functioning DHCP server on your network, the camera should get its IP address (and Subnet_Mask and Gateway). If not, you can enter these manually. It is a little tricky, there will be some zeros already here, move the cursor after the zero and use DEL to delete it and make space in the input fields for your own correct values. If you do not know what to enter, have a look at values in the network settings of your computer and use the same except for the IP address, try some fairly higher number, hopefully you hit an unused one. Usually the values would be something like IP: 192.168.1.188, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, Gateway IP: 192.168.1.1  or something like that, take clues from your computer. The camera and computer must be on the same network. Then in Connection Mode on the camera, choose Wireless Tethering Fixed. And half-press the shutter to exit the menu and get in shooting mode. The red LED should be blinking. If you can look at your network devices, e.g. on your router, you should see the camera there. You can see check the camera settings in the camera menu in the INFORMATION item of the Network Setting menu to see the MAC address of your camera and look for it in the list of devices on your network.  Then use the tethering in your software, e.g. in Capture One. The camera may not show immediately, take a shot and then it should show in the list of available cameras. Good luck. Report back how did you fare.  PS If you have a Windows machine, you need to have Bonjour installed and running. Macs have it.

      X-T30 II Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display viewmode not working

      By grizzski · Posted

      Hey all, I just got my first camera. The X-T30 II. It seems the Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display view-mode is doing the exact same thing as just the Eye Sensor view-mode setting. Any ideas why this is or what's supposed to be happening? Firmware Version: 2.04

      Problem with multi exposure on XT5

      By George_P · Posted

      What GordW said. You have to put the drive mode dial to "S" - Single Frame. If you have it on CL, CH, BKT or Panorama (or HDR), the Multiple Exposure option will be greyed out in the shootng menu. On my X-T5 it works in RAW + JPG and also in JPG only. When Multiple Exposure is switched on, the image quality cannot be set to RAW only. If it was set to RAW only before switching Multiple Exposure On, image quality defaults to RAW+Fine. The result is JPG. After each shot press MENU/OK and after the last one press DISP/BACK.
