Yesterday I saw that this button has rotated and then i couldn't use it. Now when I'm rotating it back its working but it is annoying.
Has anyone had a similar problem? Any solution without sending it to a service?

I am having the same issue and had the camera sent to the repair service under guanrantee. They pretend now that I did cause the damage. During my holiday, I just put some scotch to keep the button horizontal and working no other way to still use the camera. Seeing some tiny trace of adhesive the repair service said I have to pay for this repair (no guarantee): 130€ What can I do to get this properly handeld under the guarantee as this seems to be a well known defect of this model?

This is such a pity.... I have handled the camera to the local fujifilm service and I'm waiting for their call. They told me it would take 2-3 weeks for the parts to arrive. If I have the same problem I would contact Fujifilm directly via email, then print their answer (if they approve the guarantee for this defect as someone in another forum said) and bring it to the repair center.

I found a way to fix the issue: rotate the button back into position (turn it clockwise) using an X-acto knife. Then place a small square of duct tape over the button to hold it in place. The square must be large enough to stick to the button and some of the metal around it. You can still use the button through the tape, and the tape prevents it rotating back into the bad position.

 

My X-T10 is out of warranty, and the thumb rest has fallen off, along with the rubber grip material on half of the camera, and this button failure. I haven't abused this camera - they are simply not built to a very high standard, I'm afraid. It still takes wonderful pictures, but I can't say I would recommend anyone buy one of these.

Or possibly yours was from a good batch. There are enough posts out there on the topic of failing play button, rubber skin and thumb grip on this camera for me to know that I am a long way from being alone in this experience.

The point, self evidently, that I was making was not to take away your problem, it's an issue for you, but to suggest they will be lots more good batches than bad. If it were more prevalent I would hope a recall, as with other manufacturers, would be carried out.

2019, and thankful to have found this easy solution, thank you.I thought it was pressed inside or so.

Hi all. I own a Fujifilm XT-10 and the playback button rotated and no longer works. The rubber on the thumb rest also fell off. I’ve been in situations the last while where I really needed/wanted to use the camera so I haven’t had a chance to get it repaired. I’m now a few hours away from a Jasper and Banff National Park trip with no playback button. So yeah. Kinda blows. I tried switching another button to playback function but that’s not an option. Should be for emergency situations. My camera is not under warranty anymore. But reading this forum makes me realize I’m not the only one with the thumb rest rubber issue as well as the bigger issue with the playback button. If this is truly a defect issue, Fujifilm should repair with or without warranty. Otherwise still loving my little beast.

After so many years my xt10 display photos button went into this similar problem. I rotated it back into place using a nipper and got it back to work. Thanks for the idea recommended here. No need to bring it to repair centre

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By PoorAlchemist · Posted

      I found the reddit topic i refere to :  https://www.reddit.com/r/davinciresolve/comments/1pc3f1e/cant_apply_new_fujifilm_gfx_55_lut/ "Update for y'all, It's just like what @ExpBalSat said, it's because of the backslashes in the names break them. I changed the file name and it works now. "   For me it was the solution. Realy annoying if it doesn’t work for you 😕

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By Don Barar · Posted

      Here is the solution to using the Eterna 55 file simulation LUTs in Davinci Resolve.   In general, do not use the FLog2C to film simulation LUTs as they are not supported by Davinci Resolve for two reasons: 1) Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut Color Space and 2) Davinci Resolve does not support FLog2C gamma.  Instead, use Flog2 which is supported by Davinci Resolve.  Here is an example.  Let's say that you want to use Classic Chrome simulation.  Do the following: Complete your color grade and use a CST to get to Rec 709. Add a node.  Use a CST to convert from Rec 709 to FLog2.  Output Color space is Rec 2020 and Outout Gamut is FLog2. Add a node.  Apply the FLog2 to Classic Chrome LUT Create a combination node from node in steps 2 and 3. Apply a Key to the combination node and adjust the Key Output Gain to get the amount of the combination node that you want applied. So that you do not have to do this over and over again, generate a LUT for the combination node.  Remember to turn off all other nodes before generating the LUT. Hope this helps others. Don

      Thanks for the insights. I think it's really hard to make a decision without having the two side by side!

      I don’t have the 23 f2 but I have read several times that it is considered a little soft at close distance, compared to the 23 f1.4 lenses. These will also focus at shorter distance from the subject, esp. the new one. So that might make a difference. The new 23 f1.4 LM WR  has better resolution, esp. in regard to the 40Mpix sensors, which you don’t have on the X-T2. What practical difference that makes for the value of the pictures one makes is disputable and subjective.  f1.4 will gather more light but with a smaller DOF, which may be desirable in some situations but not so in others, depends. If you like to shoot close ups, you will probably use higher f numbers to get a bigger DOF. Same for landscapes. If you are a bokeh fan, yes the f1.4 lens are better.  The older 23 f1.4 lens that you are considering is a very good and respected lens. The f1.4 vs f2 aperture per se is perhaps not so important. The 23 f2 is very small, light and practical and a great lens for travel and landscapes. So, go figure. I am afraid I just sent you further down the road to insanity !

      First post here but long time fuji shorter. I use the XT2 with the 23mm f2 / 35mm 1.4 / 16-80mm f4 I'm considering the 23mm f1.4 r (Non-WR) About me: - I shoot black and white only. - I like macro details to wide open landscapes and everything in-between. - I shoot mostly for art, intrigue and creativity of the image. My question - is the 23mm f1.4 going to offer me any meaningful difference over the f2 for the above scenarios Thanks and sorry for bringing it up again...
