Help to identify mark on the X-T3 sensor (appeared after warranty repair)


Recommended Posts

It lowkey looks like a micro scratch. But it's not easy to see, you can see it only under certain angle and lighting. I've tried to look that closer with a magnifier etc, and have really no idea what's that. Problem is that I'm from Russia and authorized repair service center want to passively put a blame on me. That's not the Fuji's fault, it's the particular regional service center. The sensor wasn't even that dirty before the repair in the first place. There's also visible smudge on the right side, and also two more horizontal scratch-like marks more on the left, almost in center area of the sensor, but it's really really hard to see and I noticed it just by pure luck with a magnifier.

The head of that service repair center told me to take pics with closed down aperture and focus to infinity, which I did (f/22), and there's no visible traces, but yet mark is there and tbh it doesn't matter if it affects image or not, I bought the camera July 21st 2020, it's quite new. He told that it could an "oil mark from the shutter". I'm not a specialist and wanna ask people what it could be, if it's possible to somewhat identify by photo and video. The service itself is a joke, but it's a whole another story (i'm quite depressed because all of that by now).

The repair was flex cable of shutter button replacement, and as I've been told in that service center, you don't even need to open mount lid for this kind of repair, but I dunno, maybe they accidentally did something not during repair, but during diagnostics. 

X-T3 users, maybe if it's really oil mark or something, maybe you or just anyone familiar with that kind of traces? Thanks for any hints.

    • Looking more like the next Fuji camera we see will be an X-T50 but it is still a rumor and no specs have been published.
    • Hey guys, The shutter on/off button switch may be loose on mine. After turning camera on and pressing the shutter/holding close to the area, the camera will turn off and say 'sensor cleaning'. This doesn't happen if I'm shooting via touch screen at all. Everything else is functional. Anyone else experience this before? Would love a much cheaper fix since Fuji Canada just quoted me $700 CAD to fix it, and considering everything else is functional except that part I'm not even sure why MPMB Main Board parts is being replaced😕 I got no explanation from them either.
    • As far as I know the firmware is not country specific. Are you sure that the filename has not been changed ( I am told this can happen with mac os). That's the only thing I can think of.
    • My x-t5 does not exhibit the focusing switch behaviour as you report it, so that is very strange and indicative of a fault. It does not matter whether the flash is attached or not. Once you set the camera for your studio flash, say 1/250th at f5.6, the camera, which is showing you what you will get at that exposure without the flash, will show a black screen unless the ambient light is brighter than what you would typically get indoors. That is why, as Jerry says, you have to set preview exp/wb to off. I have set a button for this.
    • I connected to FRAME.IO a while back and it works fine, but the camera wouldn't connect to the internet all of a sudden today and would get stuck on the reset screen, including initializing and even switching USB Connection mode. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
