X100V huge issue, stuck in "pair with smartphone" mode

My X100V is stuck in "pair with smartphone" mode, and I cannot get out of this loop. I tried to switch with another battery, I also removed the battery and kept the camera ON, and when I returned the battery, it was still in the "pair with smartphone" mode. 

Is someone familiar with this issue? Or does someone have the solution? The camera is now usable as is.

I ran into something similar with my x-t5 with the new software app - I came across a “reset network setting” option and that did it.   I do t recall where I saw it, but it was at the bottom when I scrolled, maybe on the same menu group as the pairing one.

How long did you leave the battery out of the camera?

Usually it takes quite a few days for the settings backup battery to completely discharge.

I left the battery for four days at least, and when I put it back again, it was the same unfortunately. I also cannot exit this mode. Should I try for a week?

This particular issue also started when I updated the firmware of the X100V. Unfortunately I cannot enter the menu (or exiting from "pair with smartphone" mode). Otherwise I could try it. 

If you have some other suggestions, please share them with me. I haven't used my cam for a while now due to this issue (also getting a bit desperate tbh).

Give it a try. That back-up settings capacitor is a sturdy little puppy, it takes a while to wear down. How to phrase this delicately, …, right now you are unable to use the camera, so pull the big battery, turn the power switch to “on”, put the body on a shelf and leave it there for at least a week. Every time you are tempted to mess with it, walk away, walk away, walk away. After the week has gone by, give it another day or three, then test it.

Unless of course it is a just bought brand new body and still with-in warranty, then have a chat with the camera store you got it from, they may have a faster way of getting it back to default status.

Okay, I will give it a try for at least a week (today is the second day). I will try again tomorrow after a week, which totals 10 days. That should be sufficient, I hope... Thanks anyway for your suggestions so far!

I am hoping this time does work for you. I have heard when this issue happens somewhat seemingly randomly, there is a problem with the power supply, but I have not yet heard of this happening only because of updates.

Update as of this morning: After a solid ten days of leaving the camera ON without the battery, I put the battery back again in the X100V, and unfortunately, it went back to the pairing with smartphone mode again.

This workaround doesn't help me with the problem. At this moment, I am getting frustrated and desperate as well. If someone has other ideas/suggestions, please share them with me.

Hi Robert, I was having the same issue as you today and managed to find a solution. It was frustrating enough after a few hours, I can't imagine days. 

Do you still need help figuring this out?sd

Hi Nate, 

Yes please share your tip/advice with me. As of now, I am still looking for a solution. I had contact with Fujifilm Netherlands, and they told me they could have a look at it. However, I only want to ship my camera to Fujifilm if needed (I am not very fond of sending the camera via mail).

Hi Nate,

Did you receive my previous message? As you can imagine, I am pretty desperate as of now. 

Thanks in advance!

Glad got it fixed. Looks like was fixed with the version just released on July 4th.

 

The firmware update Ver.3.01 from Ver.3.00 incorporates the following issues:

The firmware bug is fixed that the lens always stops at the “Near-end” position when the camera is turned on after Ver.3.00 update.

The bug is fixed that the “Pairing Registration” screen in the "FUJIFILM Camera Remote" is displayed in rare cases when turning on the camera right after Ver.3.00 update and then the camera freezes when the "OK" button is pressed, or “Pairing Registration” screen keeps appearing when “BACK” button is pressed.

Since everyone here is suggesting for updating firmware, I searched it online how to check firmware while stuck on pairing smartphone in my camera. I just pressed and hold the POWER ON and DISP BACK button while turning the cam on and the message went away and went to shooting mode again. When I checked my firmware update, it has already the latest version.

      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

      Please save me from insanity 23mm f2 vs F1.4r

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

      By George_P · Posted

      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...
