Hi everyone. Hoping you can shed some light as I have tried everything I can think of!

I have an issue with my X-T30 ll. Suddenly stopped recognising the ‘aperture lock’ signal from my lens. Fine one minute, not the next.
The LED screen has stopped displaying shooting mode symbol (ie S A M or P) but the current shooting mode is still visible in Qmenu

- I can still select and use aperture priority and manual as normal - ie the camera recognises the actual aperture selected - and I can adjust it via the lens ring - but it doesn’t recognise the ‘A’ -locked- position which is required for Shutter priority  

- when I try to select shutter priority - ie with a shutter speed selected and the aperture ring locked at A - it tells me (in the Q menu) that it is in Manual mode, even though I can’t change the aperture using the aperture ring (ie the aperture IS actually locked.) 

- when the aperture ring is in the A position, I can’t change the aperture using the aperture ring - which is as it should be. 

I have tried three different lenses and I have tried another X-t30 body - they all work fine. So it’s definitely something to do with the Mark ll body. 
I’m travelling in remote northern India atm with very little internet and doing this on my phone- a bit tricky! Hoping someone can help! Thanks I’m advance.

    • Very backwards (haha sorry couldn't resist).
    • Hi Guy, I need a secondary Fuji X to back-up my X-H2 cheeply.   I sold my X-T2 to get the X-H2 beause I wanted to increase my AF hit rate. That being said, can you comment on the hit rates between X-H1, X-T3, and X-T4 in 2024? With all having the latest firmware, is there a big jump in AF performace between the three? Thanks, Tomek  
    • oh wow, that is very odd.  Can you not simply put any version you want onto a formated SD card, and install it like every other priece of hardware on the planet?   @botty have you tried a different lens, or updating the firmware on your lens (if thats the only one you have one)?
    • A while back Apple put a security update in its operating system that requires users to give permission for USB C or Thunderbolt connected devices to transfer data back and forth between the device and the computer. If the user did not give permission, the  device could only use the USB or Thunderbolt port for battery charging. Initially, this update was only for laptops, they may have brought it over to desktop computers later. As far as I know, if the user accidentally does not give access permission, there is no easy way to reset this for a single device, but there is sort of a work-around described in the release notes: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/macos-release-notes/macos-13-release-notes Does this help?
