A few shots from my ongoing project, "Strangers in the dark". All the shots were done with an X100T. Strangers in the dark by Pierre Pichot, on Flickr Strangers in the Dark II by Pierre Pichot, on Flickr Exit light by Pierre Pichot, on Flickr Exit by Pierre Pichot, on Flickr

I went to shoot a house today and when I turned on my camera the screen was completely white as if I had the aperture all the way open outside. I can see all my settings and the menu, so it's not the screen. If I look through the viewfinder it has the same issue. Also, if I turn on 'Auto' the camera thinks it's way too bright and can't change settings to make the picture dark enough. I've searched the interwebs and can only find 1 video related to this issue which says it's a sensor ribbon issue, but it's in Russian (which I do not speak) and it's a comprehensive repair guide (which I am not capable of performing). My main question is what is the repair cost for this issue? I've called Fuji and they refuse to give me a quote for the repairs. Judging by that aforementioned video, the repair looks intensive. As this is only a T-X30 I don't really want to spend $500 to repair it. Also, is this common? My wife and I both bought a X-T30 in 2019 switching from Cannon. At the time Cannon was way over priced and way behind, but even my 20 year old digital cannon still works. This thing isn't even 4 years old and I only use it 3-4 times a week for about an hour at a time.
