I’ve found it: in the Set Up menu>User Setting>Sound & Flash must be On and Drive settings on Still Image. That’s all.

I’ve recently bought an X100-F and I usually used it with the built-in flash turned off. Today I wanted to use this flash but I am not able to turn it on!! I’ve tried on mode A, M, P and S 1/125) but nothing !! :(( Is there someone to help me ? Thanks

I did recently the same as Bob but with a X100F (because its a one button/one action camera, which is the best for me). And I have a lot of fun with that light camera, always with me with no questioning about witch lens to choose … I just kept my X-H1 with few lenses for some special shooting (16~80, 50~140 and 2 amazing Chinese manual lenses: 35 & 50mm f1.7-1,8). It’s also fun to use a non-AF non-automatic lens on a such efficient camera as the X-H1 (witch has the same interface as the X-100F. Thanks Mr Fuji)

When I wrote this topic, I’ve done a total reset, but, then, the flash menu was available only once and then, as I’ve set up my choices, disappears anew. I did the same and then , in auto mode, the flash accepted to fire. As said Greybeard, it’s the proof it’s a firmware incompatibility which my selected choices. Thanks.

Thanks CatsAreGods, My shutter is on Mechanical only. I tried to open the flash after turning on the camera: same thing. I think the best is to reset the camera and to program the camera anew. Is it possible it’s in relation with firmware upgrade to 2.4 or simply a coincidence?

Hey, I can’t turn the built-in flash on! Even opening it before turning on the camera, the mode I use (A,S with a speed < 1/180, M ..) … And, in the flash menu, I only have access to “red eyes removal” and “TTL-lock mode”. What could be my wrong parameter? Thanks

If you buy them in second hand, you could sold the one you like less after having really compared them in the field. And, like that, you can’t loose a lot of money.

Buy both. It’s what I’ve done, really.

For that kind of use, the camera is less the problem than the lenses quality or, for the most, the photographer’s eyes. An interesting test here: https://wordpress.lensrentals.com/blog/2022/03/comparing-a-ten-year-old-camera-to-a-modern-one/

Here is the proposition of upgrading the X-S10 firmware “Revised specification from Ver.2.10/2.11 to Ver.2.20 The following specification has been revised to improve compatibility with SDXC memory card format. The maximum number of frames that can be recorded in a single folder has been changed from 9,999 to 999. If you are using a macOS computer to process recorded files in the SDXC memory card, make sure to follow the procedure below before upgrading the firmware. Follow the instructions in “II-2. If using an SDXC memory card with existing files or one that　has not been recently formatted:” in the article titled “Important notice for consumers processing FUJIFILM digital camera files using macOS” that was published on Feb. 2 in this web site and then format the SDXC memory card before using it. Minor bugs have been fixed.” Because I don’t want to limit the number of frames to 999 in a single folder, my question is what are the “minor bugs” that are fixed here? Do they make that firmware upgrade absolutely necessary?

For my camera, to put Clarity off solved the problem. It works very well now with the same cards. And it’s a very pleasant camera to use.

Bravo . It has solved my issue. Thanks I never thought the clarity job could be so massive

Exactly the same with an SDXC card (170Mbs/s).

I’ve a just bought an X-S 10 and I am surprised by the time the camera is busy between two images in still/single mode. During this time the viewer and the screen are blind with this message “storing”. My X-H1 use about half a second for “processing”. My X-S10 needs one to two seconds for “storing”. It’s absolutely too long. I shoot in raw, with SDHc cards (95Mbs/s) just formatted in the camera. Changing of card, still SDHC, change nothing. Camera firmware is updated and I use the A mode. In burst mode, there is no problem: The screen keep usefull and there is no “storing” time after 6 to 8 raw images in about 2sec. In my mind, the ram buffer should be used in any shooting mode, not only in burst mode. Is it a usual phenomenon or a specific problem with this camera?
