Double shot in single-shot mode

[dimsol]

Hi,

While in single-shot mode (not in slow/fast continuous burst mode), while pressing the shutter button, from time to time camera performs a double shot.
What is this? What setting controls the behaviour?

Thanks

Can you link to sample files (both shots)? (The settings are stored in the EXIF metadata)

Dimsol,

I will mention something that may be very obvious to some but this happen to me. The shutter speed was set on "A" while I was testing my X-T4 in dimm light. I was under the impression that my X-T4 was taking 2 picture, but is was just the shutter opening and closing at 1/4 sec timing.

Is this the case or do you actually have 2 pictures saved on memory card per press ?

New X-T4 user here too. Had the exact same problem after unboxing and snapping some tests.

Solution: The Drive dial under the ISO was almost turned to CL rather than S, but just barely, like it had hung in-between the two settings.

Flicked it solidly over to S and everything was fine.

@Adam HillDon't sure it's mine case - it happens randomly.
@bce.gatienYes, It's end up with two images.

I'm out of ideas - looked at the image metadata and you are definitely in single drive mode. I can't see any settings that would cause this.

Just a couple of thoughts…

• is bracketing enabled?
• have you tried resetting to factory defaults?
• have you tried removing the battery?
