X30 Broken Control Ring


Recommended Posts

My X30's Control Ring appears to have gone bad.  I can no longer change settings, use it to focus in manual mode, or use it to zoom in/out in review mode.

Has anyone else experience this issue?  Is it mechanical or did I perhaps disable it somehow?  I'm running the latest firmware (1.03).

Thanks!

I have the same issue.

Hi, I have just bought a second hand x30 - the control ring is not working at all, it turns very easily - but has no impact regardless of the setting.  I have tried everything, and so conclude its a mechanical issue.  Anyone have any advice?  Thanks.  Richard

I have exactly the same problem I think. After falling from a low height in the cover, the control ring does not work and moves loosely.

    • Because the sensor assembly is moved electrmagnetically. When there is no power it is essentially free moving.

      This is the equivalent of 43 minutes, 40 seconds of exposure. NGC 1502 is a neat little cluster located in the Camelopardalis Constellation. This region of space was thought to be fairly empty by early astronomers, but as you can see, there is a lot there. Kemble's Cascade (a.k.a. Kemble 1) is named for Father Lucian Kemble, a Canadian Franciscan friar who wrote about it to Walter Scott Houston, an author for the Sky And Telescope magazine. Houston named the asterism for Fr. Kemble and the name "stuck". NGC 1501 is the Oyster Nebula. A longer focal length telescope is needed to bring this one into good viewing range, but it is well worth the effort.

    • Looking for input; there are some decent deals and might want to take advantage to expand my lenses for my 100s already own: 110/2 32-64 35-70 100-200 + TC   Shooting mostly family shots, bringing my kit to capture family outings indoors and out. Tracking the 63/43 effective FLs on the two, but has anybody used both? Would the 55 (covered by two zooms right now) be redundant? Would the 80 be too similar in character to my 110 for portraiture?
