XT3 Loose Shutter Collar/On and Off Button

Recommended Posts

 

Recently bought a new XT3 off of adorama. However, I noticed that the shutter collar/on and off button is questionably loose. The collar/button does not sit flush on the bottom, and it can be pushed up and down a tiny amount (see the video). There's also a tiny indentation on the button. The camera otherwise looks new (shutter count was 0) and there's no noticeable wear anywhere, so it probably wasn't ever used. 

I've read a few other forums where people had more or less the same issue, but they never mentioned anything about the collar not sitting flat, which makes me a bit worried.

Cause for concern? If I do end up sending it back, hopefully they'll even consider this an issue?

This type of shutter release button that Fujifilm has on its X-T and X-Pro cameras usually has some play. However, I never had this much play in the collar itself. Esp. since the collar acts as on/off switch it sees a lot of action and possible wear in contacts and seals. I would have it checked by Adorama and if needed/possible replaced by another X-T3 copy.

Thank you for your insight. I will give them a call.

    • Hello. Thankyou,now Is all more clear: I have take some time in your link. Let tell you. I has totaly forget this machine have "compress picture option" and not Only "compress lossless" anyway not change the experiment. RAW  and this last two format look like same result about Number of recording picture. Can tell all results in this: in raw you can make 17 pictures for second. Is wrong. Is about One single Press and wait buffer. Full 30/20/10/8 not change. After 17 Need Press again. You not can Press before "redgreen light recording Is on".   With preshot you can have 25  are more 7 pictures . The story change Only in jpg shot only. In jpg at 30 you have 30 picture but redgreen light off very Fast so you can shot very quicly. At 20 shot Is about start look like infinite shot. 60. So the best performance are this last One  about Speed and recording picture after camera working witout big limit. I want take a shot about Italy cyclet Just for passion. I think i Will use this last setting.  After Need check when battery not are full change and ambient temp.  Anyway my cam look like exactly specific about you link. Im Happy my cam working perfectly.
    • I do not use Flickr, so I do not know what their BB code is. All I did was copy the second link you provided, (starting at https: and ending at  _k.jpg — leave off the [img] and [/img] tags) and pasted it into the message. After a moment, a message popped up asking if I wanted to paste it as the image or as a plain link. I did this twice, the first time I had it paste in as the image and the second time as a link. Nothing fancy or tricky.
    • So do I just copy the BB code from flickr and paste it anywhere on the page like other forums or is there some other trick I need to perform to get it to post?
