Hi guys - tonight I downloaded the XT-1 4.30 firmware and updated my XT-1. Straight away I started noticing issues. I am getting the dreaded f0 error appear on the LCD. From what I read the camera thinks there is no lens attached. Turning the camera off and back on seems to fix the issue. It is happening on the 23mm, 35mm, 56mm and 90mm (the 90mm A/F also stopped working).

 

I bought this camera in May 2014 and haven't had an issue until tonight. I have checked the gold contacts, there seems to be no dirt / rubbish that would affect the performance of the camera / lens. And it is happening on all lenses so I would assume it is a camera issue. Just seems very coincidental with a firmware update, the issue started happening immediately after.

 

I can force the f0 issue almost all the time by going into playback mode and the back out, it will go into f0 error 99.9% of the time. I have made a video of the issue below. Interesting to note that the f0 issue that occurs when exiting image preview mode occurs after a slight 'glitch' in the screen:

I don't know what to do, it is out of warranty (although I think Australia may have extra protections against 12 month warranty). I have a large investment in lenses and want to stay with the Fuji system but this is really disappointing.

Very annoying!

 

Short of sending your camera to Fuji so that they can change the firmware ( they can) I don’t think that you can do anything else other than trying to re-upload the firmware ( and you’ve done that already) or wait until next update which will take care of this and any other firmware hiccups.

 

Good Luck

Do they still have the older firmware versions available for download? You could go back to an older one and see if things are working. That way you'll know if it's a hardware issue or the firmware.

This issue is normally due to a hardware issue, specifically a fault in the main circuit board. I had the same issue and it was repaired by Fuji Australia quickly. Fuji Australia are very good - send it in with a request that it be repaired under warranty given it is a known fault.

Only happened after 4.30 update. I had a firmware v1.0 35mm f1.2 mounted at the time and had both the 1.30 (for lens) and 4.30 firmware files on th sdcard. I don't know if this caused an issue but it certainly seems like a hardware issue. Camera has been sent back to Fuji Australia. Will see what happens this week.

      XS10 and manual lenses

      By thelostkiwi · Posted

      All three of my bodies (X-E2, X-T4, GFX100S II) have shoot without lenses enabled and they have all had it set since I bought them.  No harm in it at all. Just remember to set the focal length when you fit a manual lens with no electronics otherwise the IBIS (if you have it) goes nuts. I regularly use vintage film lenses from Minolta, Zeiss, Mamiya, Rollei and others on my X mounts along with more modern manual focus stuff from TTArtisans. I also use Nikon AF-S lenses with a Fringer so the world is your oyster! Vintage lenses can be an absolute bargain too - For example the Zeiss 135 f/35 in M42 is as cheap as chips and very sharp as is the excellent Minolta 35-70 Macro (which is also rebadged Leica).

      Infrared Photography on X-E2 665nm

      By Neil Rosenberg · Posted

      I'm not exaggerating when I say that I have searched with great vigor (and at great expense) for a way to capture IR images with a Fujifilm camera for which I didn't have to use major amounts of sharpening to bring out the best. Zooms, primes, Fuji, Tamron, Viltrox, Sigma, Zeiss ... probably 20 lenses all told. Plus multiple IR converted Fuji cameras, X-T1, X-T3, X-T5. I even tried different ways of filtering IR, such as using the Kolari clip-ins and lens-mounted front filters. I was ready to give up until I almost accidentally tried one of the cheapest lenses out there -- the little TTArtisan 27mm F2.8. No hotspots that I could see, and best of all ABSOLUTELY SUPERB SHARPNESS across the entire frame. It's this attribute that I search for, and until now, never achieved. In my prior attempts, I listened to the advice from the "pundits", picking up a copy of the venerable Fuji 14mm F2.8, the Zeiss Touitt 12mm F2.8, Fuji 23 and 35mm F2.0, even the very similar 7Artisans 27mm F2.8, and none of them come even close to the TTArtisan for edge sharpness in infrared. Incidentally, I'm using a Kolari 720nm clip-in filter. Sure the TT has its issues -- vignetting at 2.8, tendency to flare with sunlight nearby, but all in all, this lens is glued to my X-T5 for now. This image was taken hand-held with this lens -- completely unedited!

      Screen is flipped with fan001

      By Tschortschli · Posted

      Hy there When Im using the fan001 on the XH2s and I flip the LCD Screen vertically by 180 degrees then the image flips vertically, what is good but it also flips horizontally. The clean feed on HDMI is not flipping horizontally but its also flipping if the HDMI output info display is on. When I unmount the fan then the image flips only vertically. My firmware is updated to the latest version. Any ideas if there is a fix for that?
