I got this error message with my XT-2 and 16/1.4 lens. I had dropped the 16 from a height of about 2.5-3' and then when mounted on the camera gave the "TURN CAMERA ON AND OFF AGAIN" message. Removing batteries etc did nothing to clear it. Then tried lens on my XT-1; same thing. Sent lens to Fuji Repair. cost $230 or so. Works fine now, but I have no idea what they wound up having to do.

Sorry for the late update- Sent the i60a back to Minox USA, 2 days later they sent me a brand new flash. Great customer service, but I have to say I was a little put off by the flash dying like that!

Chucktin, Nissin USA is serviced by Minox USA, they're in NH. They updated my i60a pretty quickly. I wish Fuji/3rd party flash suppliers would get on a similar page; my 160a with firmware update, now only works in TTL on my XT-2. My i40 only works TTL on my XT-1....

Working a bridesmaids brunch yesterday, suddenly my new (9/2016) i60a started making this horrible "cracking" sound, the flash would charge (green light) and then make a popping/crack sound and the ready light would go to red and start up again. Sounded like it was shorting out- the noise was definitely electrical discharge or something, I shut it off and put it in my bag after removing the batteries. Hopefully it hasn't done anything to the flash circuitry of the XT-2! The camera seems ok, performed fine without the flash (thanks for the 56/1.2 in a dim room). When I got home I put batteries in it again, and pushed the 'on' button. Flash cycled up and when the green ready light came on for a second or two, it made the same (frightening) crack-popping noise and the ready light went back to red, and I was done! Shut it off, and have sent it back to Minox USA. I had the firmware upgraded to work with my XT-2 last month. Anyone else run into this? The bugger is this- I have an i40 that I use on my XT-1. But I can't use it on the XT-2 because of the firmware. So if I need to use flash, for now I'll need to use my XT-1. sigh. Bob K

(Maybe I'm jinxed as the forum seems to have glitches on me too!)

That's weird!! I'd written that in two weeks I've experienced build quality issues with my FujiFilm gear; My 56/1.2 (new) had to be sent for repair when the aperture ring suddenly jammed in the 'A' position, and now my XT-1 body (bought used) has developed a problem with the shutter speed and metering dial; they no longer turn smoothly but are sticking. If I turn the shutter speed then it can change the metering mode too! Wondering if anyone else is having quality issues.

I recently went to Upper Antelope, and used the Rokinon 12mm f2 exclusively (you do NOT want to change lenses in that DUST BOWL!!) results i got were fantastic- the plus is that with the manual focus WIDE angle lens, I could zone focus, stop down to say f4, and know that my depth of field was going to cover. I also used auto bracketing of -1/+1 stops, so I got 3 exposures each time I pressed the shutter button. However, I *did* the "pro camera" tour, using a tripod, christ, some exposures were 10-15 seconds. And yes, regularly shot at ISO 1000-3200 with no problem. The mirrorless camera will let you get good shots at really slow shutter speeds hand held. ENJOY!!!!

Friday I put my new 56 f1.2R lens on my Xt-1 (bought lens new from B&H in March) and, boom. Lens now won't come out of 'A' mode. Used it last Tuesday on portrait shoot in Manual Aperture and everything was fine; but now it's locked solid. Tried it on several bodies, nope, won't budge. Pretty sure B&H will assist me (waiting for email response) but, wondering if anyone else has had this trouble? Really aggravated, especially as I dropped my 10-24/f4 the week before and had to send that for repair.... Bob Keene Keene Vision Photography
