no other person, as far as we presently know, has reported here the type of problem that you have encountered. By reporting it you might have found other people in similar situations but apparently there were none, among those who are on this forum and have read this thread up until now. So, at least for the time being, it appears to be a transient problem which might have multiple explanations and probably affected you and you alone. The only answers here were:

then there would be more of this and up until now you are, as far as we know, the only one reporting this.

I don’t know whether it might depend on the camera settings or not but I am absolutely positive that I am controlling both lenses on both camera as written above Anyway, command dial settings can be changed in the menus.

Despite 16mm being a very useful wide focal length, there is a world of difference in going much wider than that Whether one likes it or not is again another thing but that there is a substantial difference between a picture shot at 10mm (let alone 8) and one shot at 16 is a fact. Perhaps not quite so evident in a simple landscape shot but it is in many other situation. If this weren’t the case, the folks who buy a 10-24 (I had one for more than a year) would not notice any difference between 10mm and 16mm (both on this zoom) and I tell you, they do!

On both X-T1 ( with two dials, front and back) and X-E2 (only back dial of course because it hasn’t a front one ) I can control the aperture of my lenses set in A mode ( 18-55 and 60mm) . I am doing this in Aperture priority, which is what I do the most. I have done this already 3 times because of your suggestions that it couldn’t be done. It is possible that the X-T10 differs from both my cameras but that would seem to be unlikely to have deprived this camera of this function. I never use it, but it is most definitely there.

yes, that’s how it works, need to put the lens on the camera in order to update the firmware but I am afraid that even if you do that with model I there is nothing that you can do because the firmware update is only for model II.

I really don’t think that fuji will ever go that way.

this only tells me that there is something different in the cards that one camera accepts and the other doesn’t. What that is, I can’t possibly say.

it is, try again. I have done that on my X-E2 which is, essentially, the same as the X-T10

The thing is that the two methods, analog and digital photography, look the same but aren’t. But that is not what OP came to discuss. He wanted to know whether Fuji could produce a film camera which would use all the digital technology and lenses of the X cameras and use film instead of a sensor. Despite the survival of the remaining few, shall we call them “ last Mohicans “, who stick to using film for reasons of their own, that market is now such a small one that no large corporation is really interested in developing a new product to fit in that niche. It is possible that a small corporation could do it but not for a camera as complex as an X camera stripped of its digital intestines. IF... something even remotely similar to this could interest a company it would have to be lomography.com which already sells a number of cameras and lenses catering for the public of aficionados and hipsters alike. http://shop.lomography.com/nl/cameras?utm_source=shop&utm_medium=cover&utm_campaign=cameras Although the price point would have to probably exceed what they are selling at the moment.

have you put the lens switch on A? Probably not.

We might THINK that when one says “ Erase ...Move to the trash and disappear! ” ALL that it ever was a digital file has disappeared in quantum spacetime... but the sad reality is that it has been simply made invisible to us. You can make a lot of things visible again on an hard disk or card even if you told the hard disk to put things in the wastebasket and “ BE GONE FOREVER!" It is possible that not everything has been “ erased” or made invisible to the satisfaction of one camera while it didn’t to another. Formatting a card doesn’t wipe clean the card either! It just removes the elements which make possible the booting.

format with your computer, then format with the camera, that should get rid of any disturbing element

by means of that program mentioned above, ExifChanger, you can fool the program to think the camera that shot the picture was one , like the X-E2 or X-T1 which earlier versions do recognize

Paraphrasing this famous quote by Frank Zappa about Jazz, Analog photography isn't dead it just smells funny. There aren’t many people who would buy a film camera these days and even less people who would buy a NEW film camera at a price that would have to be higher than any secondhand camera and many lenses ( cheap as chips) which you can buy at any thrift store these days. The intrinsic quality of digital photography is now so high that I cannot imagine anyone doing this for any other reason than nostalgia , zen (I can see you writing a book “ Zen & Analog Photography”) and or perhaps snobbism. I know several people who still shoot film but realistically ( besides a certain number of hipsters who do this for hipsters reasons) most shoot Large Format (which I used to do and a lot of it) and are into ancient printing processes which require huge negatives to do Contact printings. I still remember fondly my 8 x 10 Tachihara with a 240mm made of Cherry wood and brass which I’ve sold to the tragically passed away Belgian photographer Marc Lagrange.

following up on the folding hood for the LCD transforming your camera into a waist level camera I’ve found these (several brands, models and sizes) on ebay. They should be all light and inexpensive, I would have preferred if they had included a magnifying lens.

Periodically I look for new and interesting things on the net this seems to be a very nice thing and the production process is illustrated in all its parts. I am sure that there will be Fuji applications too http://www.chrisfrosin.co.uk/blog/woodcameragrip2 1461603888693

me too, I don’t use it much but when I do the quality is amazing

What do you have to open the file for? You don’t need to. Just copy the file on your formatted card and then switch on the camera while holding the “ back” button depressed, then follow the instruction on the camera display. The DAT file is not for you to open but only for the camera and lens to use. Good luck!

they hate us

well, you know, I was saying this on the off chance that, maybe, someone would put their money where their mouth is and in so doing perhaps OP might make a bob or two out of it.

was it an accident of was it made like this on purpose? I love the plastic protection for the flash still in place!

It must have something to do with carrying the camera around in your hands or while it touches abrasive surfaces, like the clothes for people who use those “ side slings” . I carry mine for the most part in a leather bag with soft “ flanel” (for lack of a better word) lining. My X-T1 hasn’t been on the receiving end of a very tough life and is still quite nice looking. Now that I have a second body (X-E2) that I use in a bit more carefree way I don’t expect the X-T1 to ever show signs of wear but frankly speaking I only ever had that on a Pentax ESII and a Yashica TL electro X ITS, that I bought secondhand when I was very young.

Good, how much would you pay for it? I am sure that there are more where this came from. A hole in the market?
