X-Pro 2 "f0" issue

[Se7enLeo]

Hi All!...My name is Eric.  I figured this would be the best place to post my experience.  Completely new to the X-Ecosystem.  My Brand new X-Pro 2 arrived today.  Along with the 16 f/1.4, and 5 frames in, I got the dreaded "f0" error!!!  Nothing I did could snap the camera out of it.  It quickly became a very expensive paperweight.  Of course I immediately Googled any info I could find on the subject.  I found "f0" issues people had with the X-Pro1 and the XT1, but nothing with the X-Pro2.  I currently only have the 16mm, so I couldn't test to see if it was a lens or camera issue.  Judging by other experiences people had, I'm guessing it's the camera .  I immediately contacted my retailer, Amazon, sent back the body an hour after unboxing it, and have a full replacement on its way.  

Not the beginning to my Fuji relationship I hoped for. 

 

Any thoughts or things heard through the grapevine would be greatly appreciated...

 

Here's some info if it helps at all-

Serial- 61A10460

Samsung PRO+ SD (Dual)

Issue happened immediately after going into playback and snapping back into frame with shutter button.

Hello and welcome.

 

Sorry to hear about your camera. You did the right thing by sending the camera back.

 

The replacement will probably be fine. Enjoy it when it arrives...again.

Thanks for the kind words and warm welcome Aswald.  I'm surprised more people haven't had something to say on the topic.  I guess I just got a one-off faulty X-Pro 2.

Most probably it's a camera issue.

I remember, someone had that issue with xpro2, and it turned out, a lens was not fitted properly. Need to be twisted until it clicks.

Happened to me, too. B/c, this camera fitting is much tighter than my XT1 has, so I've got used to the loose fitting.

Thanks for the reply Yogi.  I hope it was a camera issue.  I tried everything with the lens and fitting before I made the final decision to send the body back.  My new one should be here tomorrow.  I hope my new, NEW beginning with Fuji goes better this time around.

Should be OK this time. If not, then maybe a lens is to blame, but rather not.

Good luck, and enjoy a fine camera/16mm lens combo

where f0 stands for "f... 0ff" ?

 

Lens fitting is tight and firm on the Xpro2 ; if you've had cameras before you know it has turn all the way to click and you did all you could.
You're unlucky : It is a one off gremlin

So, I've had my replacement body for about a day now.  So far so good.  I noticed the lens fitting is much tighter than on my previous body.  Perhaps that was the issue on the faulty body after all.  I also picked up the 35 f2.0 and all seems to be flowing just fine with it and the 16.  Thanks to all for the replies and help.  Hopefully in the future this post might aid someone who had the same misfortune I did.

That's great! Have fun. The 16....nice.

I owned an XT-1 and seldom use. Then I brought it for one of my recent trip and suddenly all my lens read F0. Surf the internet and discovered many have the same issues and some were able to get a replacement. Since, mine is out of warranty and fuji denies is their product defect issue, the insist that I need to pay $180 to replace the mainboard. If it is not a product defect, then why on earth there are so many users have the same problem and now the F0 error also appearing in Fuji new models. Even, it is not a product defect issue, then the quality of their mainboard is very poor. Never again will trust Fuji and buy any of their products again.

why would you buy an xt-1 and seldom use it?

 

no sympathy
