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.

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.

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.

      Anyone out there have any experience/feedback on the Laowa 55 mm tilt shift? I’d be using it on the GFX 50s ii.

      gimbals (& threads getting spammed)

      By jshire · Posted

      Hi, I'm researching a gimbal to get someone as a present & they use a Fuji XS-10. I did a quick search of previous threads on gimbals but all of them seem to either get no replies or spammed by a link to an Amazon list. I'd appreciate any comments from folks who've actually used specific gimbals with the XS-10. I'm aware that some, such as certain models from Zhiyun, DJI & FeiyuTech either don't say that they are fully compatible with the XS-10 but other sites say they do work ok but some functions don't. It's quite difficult to work out which functions work & which don't. Thanks.

      A portrait with a 28mm lens

      By DavidJohn · Posted

      This was snapped during a lunch.  Total shooting time—a few seconds. We so often read that a proper "portrait" should be snapped with a longer than normal lens, a low ISO to get lots of detail, and have a soft light held up above the head, and slightly to the side. The key, in my opinion, is always carry a camera.  Have your camera available to capture candid, authentic photographs.  Available light, no posing.   This portrait used 2000 ISO, the lens wide open at f4, and 1/100 sec. to stop any movement.  I didn't even take time to compose—I just snapped.  I leave the "Face Detection" on unless I'm photographing a landscape or subject other than a person. The GFX100RF has the equivalent of a 28mm lens.  The large sensor renders fine detail even at fairly high ISO ratings.  And the drawing of the lens is just perfect in my opinion.  It was set to B & W, with slightly reduced sharpness and clarity (set in-camera).  Ideal for "portraits."  Now, for some subjects I will likely increase the sharpness and clarity to the normal setting.  The camera is new, and I'm still experimenting with it.
