Welcome here. I made a new thread out of your comment.

Is it possible that there is a firmware file file for another camera on the SD card?

You should keep the loaded removable battery in the camera for at least 24 hours so that the internal battery will be properly charged. Use the original Fuji battery, there seem to be problems when using aftermarket ones concerning the loading of the internal battery.

Are you totally sure you‘ve downloaded the X-T2 file and unpacked it before putting it on the SD card?

Welcome here!

The preview doesn’t show the actual exposure with the standard settings. Take a look at this thread for information about changing the preview setup:

Did you unpack the files(s) after downloading and placed it (or rhem) in the root directory of the card?

Welcome to our forum. Your comment was quite off topic in the thread you posted it, so I seperated it.

Obviously, you should contact the seller first. This is not a forum for resolving problems with purchases on other platforms.

Which mode did you set on the wheel?

I‘m nit sure what your topic is about. Please explain.

This should not happen, there seems to be a problem with the internal battery. In another case it was due to the use of an aftermarket battery instead of the original, which in some way prevented the internal battery from charging.

LCD and EVF do not show a „real“ preview. Use the exposure indicator and/or the histogram to set the exposure. Also, you could try to change the settings for the LCD/EVF in the setup menu, as stated in the manual: PREVIEW EXP./WB IN MANUAL MODE Select PREVIEW EXP./WB to enable exposure and white balance preview in manual exposure mode, or choose PREVIEW WB to preview only white balance. Select OFFwhen using a flash or on other occasions on which exposure may change when the picture is taken. Options PREVIEW EXP./WB PREVIEW WB OFF PREVIEW PIC. EFFECT Choose ON to preview the effects of film simulation, white balance, and other settings in the monitor, OFF to make shadows in low-contrast, back-lit scenes and other hard-to-see subjects more visible. Options ON OFF If OFF is selected, the effects of camera settings will not be visible in the monitor and colors and tone will differ from those in the final picture. The display will however be adjusted to show the effects of advanced filters and of monochrome and sepia settings.

I‘m not sure I understand your issue. The lenses are zoomed by a manual ring, so I wonder how they are zooming out?

If you set the aperture on the lens (which one?) to „A“ you can’t control it. Set it to another value and use the aperture ring on the lens.

The TO should try to understand that there is no such thing as the „real scene“ when it comes to capturing scenes with a sensor. There’s always processing needed and it‘s not Fuji specific. The viewfinder can only show a processed image if it‘s not an optical one. Fuji gives you more choices with the film simulations than some other manufacturers. It‘s a question of taste which simulation you find to be most „natural“ and many people like the Fuji renderings. If you don’t like any of the renderings you have to process the raw files to your own taste.

Perhaps you have locked the buttons. Is there a lock symbol in the display? Long press OK then.

Just use JPEG plus RAW to get the simulation plus the „real scene“. You can even develop different simulations in the camera from a RAW.

Probably the autofocus or IS system of the lens.

Just a guess - there is no SD card in the camera.

Welcome to our forum!

You could try to lock the joystick by pressing and holding Menu/Ok until a lock symbol appears. You can unlock the same way.

Seems to be the same issue as in this thread Please discuss it there.

What settings are you referring to?
