Lens disables all buttons on camera


Recommended Posts

I bought a second hand xt-10 a few years ago and used it with pride, but now it just acts up really wierdly. So i have a 27mm f2.8 pancake lens for the camera that I think i bought with the camera house, im not sure if its the lens or the body thats faulty. Whenever I connect the lens to the camera, the red led on the back blinks red 6times and none of the buttons work. I cant take pictures, i cant change apature/ss/go into menus/function menu, all buttons just gets disabled apart from viewing the images. If I take of the lens (use camera without lens setting is turned on) i can use it normally, i can press all buttons and go into the settings, take images etc. but as fast as I connect the lens again. Locked out. I've tried taking out the battery multiple times and 1/100 times i can use the camera, then when i take an image, again, im locked out and can't do s***. You think its just the lens (have no other AF lenses i can try) or the body thats broken? And yes i have cleaned the connection pads and pins on the lens and the camera. Its not that.

Did you ever get this resolved? I have the same issue

Nope, still not fixed, do you have multiple autofocus lenses for it? If you do does it do the same thing for all the lenses or just one? Cause the camera throws out a lens error (the blinking red led light) but I can only try with one lens, so can't really troubleshoot more then in the video :(

Unfortunately not, I only have a manual lens and few film lenses with an adapter. The problem is consistent across all of the lenses :(

    • It is really easy to find out if the wifi is on. Your computer or tablet or cell phone will have a network settings dealing with wifi, bluetooth, ethernet or “other”. Open that up and go into the section for wifi, and take note of which networks are listed. Turn on the camera and keep watching the list of networks. If your camera’s wifi is turned on, a new network should suddenly show up in your computer/tablet/phone’s network listings. Now go into the camera’s menus and start a wireless connection (the x-app or camera remote app can help you with this). You should see a network show up now. It is not hidden because it has to be visible so that your computer/tablet/phone can join the camera’s network to transfer images. Turn the camera off and that network should disappear. Turn the camera back on and see what happens.

    • I think my Fuji 150-600 F8 is a brilliant wildlife lens in terms of sharpness, portability and value but the small aperture does cause issues at the start and end of the day - even pushing the ISO as far as I dare, I can see shutter speed down to 1/25s - stabilisation isn't an issue but asking a deer to stand still for that is too much! In the same situation, an F4 would give 1/100s so the difference to the success rate would be phenomenal... and that's without the other improvements like shallower depth of field. I also find that the Fuji's subject detect AF gets pretty iffy in low light - I keep updating to the latest firmware but it doesn't seem to get any better. I was originally looking at the Nikon 500mm F4 E but good examples secondhand are still reasonably expensive but like-for-like Sigma lenses are around half the price. Reviews I have read suggest that they are as good optically, AF performance and IS-wise but you gain a few hundred grams of weight (but less than the older Nikon model). For a couple of grand, I can live with that. Does anyone have any experience mounting one on an XH2S? What about with the 1.4 teleconverter? It feels like that is pushing it anyway - hefty lens + TC + Fringer all sounds a bit...wobbly? It is on the Fringer approved list but I am wary about AF speed in particular. I had also considered looking for a used Nikon 400mm F2.8, which would be even faster (and heavier) and could couple with a TC to give 560mm F4 but again, it is that lens+TC+Fringer combination that worries me as being just too many links in the chain. Of course, what I really want is a native Fuji prime but that doesn't seem to be on the horizon - and if you look at what Nikon and Sony are doing, if Fuji do ever bring out a 500mm prime, it will probably be a small, light and cheapish F5.6, which is only 2/3 stop better than my zoom at the same focal length. Any thoughts anyone?
    • The Amazon link is an annoying feature of this forum - its automatic and is applied to every post for advertising purposes. My question was - how do you know the camera wi-fi is on and requires turning off? I would have thought this would just use up the battery for no purpose if you aren't specifically using a function that requires wi-fi.
