I just got my X100V arrived today, which is quite exciting. But after I used it for few minutes, doing some test shots and setting menu, the camera got warm around the battery area (right side to the screen). It's obvious warm but not hot. But I never encountered such problem with my former X100F. I took out the battery, and it's warmer as well. I left the camera for a few minutes to let it cool down. But when I put the battery back in and use it for like 5 minutes, it's warm again. 

Does anyone come across the same issue with me? Thx!

I just tested mine now and didn't notice it.  Will keep an eye out.  Very happy with it so far, eye af is very good compared to the F.  New lens is a big improvement as I like to shoot close up at f2.  

@mikecroshaw, would you please try to use it for more than 20min after turning Boost mode on? I would really like to know if this is a defect or this is normal.

Thanks

yes, mine gets warm noticeably too after a few minutes of testing shooting still images.  I saw other discussion on google that video shooting has more overheating issues.  So I have tested 4K shooting.  The first 10 min 4K shooting get it warmer.  In the middle of 2nd 10 mins shooting, the yellow warning sign shows up.  In the middle of 3rd 10 mins the warning sign turns to red.  The camera shuts down right around the end of 3rd clip.  

Another issue I have is very loud lens movement noise, when the camera is turned on and off and also at auto focus hunting.  I understand this camera comes with moving focus and putting on adapter and filter may help reduce the noise a bit.  But still the noise is quite loud and very noticeable at shooting videos when re-focusing is required.

I am not sure  if my Unit is defective or this is normal for X100 series.  I have tested a  X100F display unit at best buy and did not notice the lens' movement noise.

I purchased an 100V through Amazon.ca on 5 April. The vendor contacted me today: while they have stock they could not fulfill my order as Fuji had released a recall on the 100V by serial number based on the overheating issue. The dealer told me that Fuji would not be issuing a recall to customers at this time as their factory and refurb facilities are closed during this crisis.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By Giampaolo Masserano · Posted

      I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By jerryy · Posted

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.
