Please help, I have an X-T1 when switching on will default to panoramic mode regardless of which mode is selected. I have updated to the new body version 5.51 and updated the lens version in case for some reason is the problem. Once turned on the camera will not respond to mode changes, except randomly. This renders the camera unusable unless you really want to take all panoramic pictures. I am at a loss. Should I take this to a repair tech or is this a software issue that I may be able to fix?  

 

Thank you all in advance.

That does unfortunately sound like a faulty drive dial. Have to tried turning it back and forth to both extremes a few times? If some dirt has gotten in there somehow that may help. Otherwise it's most likely time for a repair.

ErikN,

I have turned it as many ways as I could, with the same result. I actually got it to work today for about ten minutes before it randomly changed to panoramic mode without cue. The manipulation of the dial feels smooth and not like it has gotten anything in there. I was hopeful that there would be something that I could do, but repair is most likely the answer.

With that in mind, as I am new to all of this, where is the best place to have this repair done? There are a few Murphy's Camera stores in my city or would it be better to send back to Fujifilm? 

Thank you again!

I don't know about the repair situation in the US. I have sent stuff in to Fujifilm here in Sweden and couple of times and they have sent it to their service center in the UK.
 

I would check with Fujifilm for an authorized repair shop, or if you know of a good serious repair shop you could ask them if they can fix it. I assume it's out of warranty? Otherwise I would check with whoever is responsible for the warranty first.

Use the lock function under the 3rd gear in the menu

Litteraly created an account to thank you for this, i've been using my X100T for the better part of a year and a half because of this issue, (and also the size of a X100T vs the XT-1 with manual focus lense+ adapter) i rarely shoot any other mode than S, If i ever need to i don't mind having to go back in the menu and changing it for that specific.

Long live the forums.

      Afraid to purchase x-t4 or 5

      By SGinNorcal · Posted

      I'm four months in and love my X-T5, no problems at all.  For me it came down to format choice, APSC.  The brand choice became Sony or Fuji as Canon lens selection seems lacking.  Then read up strengths and weaknesses of the two.  But physically looking at the camera made the difference.  I have XL hands and the Sony actually felt too small to hold.  I preferred Fuji handling but the big difference was the dials.  I could see how to adjust ISO, aperture, and shutter speed without instruction.  Took me back to days of shooting film.  I just wanted to use it.  I don't like wading through menus and I don't have to with this camera.  It has a ton of features I haven't used but I appreciate that I can go out and have fun, taking great stills, and learning the advanced stuff at a very slow pace.  I've only shot a couple videos and have no idea what to do with the histogram.  I'm not sure I care, love the camera.  As for 4 vs. 5, that's hard to say.  I don't want to video of myself so I prefer the tilt screen on the 5.  The resolution increase isn't a bad thing, I trim my shots quite of bit and more res helps with that.  I kinda wanted the latest and hopefully greatest.  But if the dollar savings is enough to help out your lens budget then go for it.

      Mechanical or Electronic Shutter

      By jerryy · Posted

      Here is a short segment explaining some good and bad things about each of the shutter types Fujifilm uses. https://fujifilm-x.com/en-us/exposure-center/types-of-shutters/ Your X-T10 does not have all of the different types, but give each of those it does have a try and see if you like them. Enjoy your new camera!

      Why is the Monochromatic color item not available in the Image Quality menu on my X-T30II? Thanks

      Like others have stated, it happens and can happen to any brand make or model. All industries are subject. I have had my X-T5 for 2 months and it is perfect. I come from Canon FF both EF and RF and Nikon for analog, all companies and segments with incredibly high QC rates. This Fuji is the same, from mechanical to software, top marks.  If you look for negative reviews, you will find them. Complainers are 10x more likely to voice an opinion than those satisfied.
