X-T1 Rear Control Dial Malfunction

[Fujiron]

I just purchased an X-T1 and the rear control dial works intermitently when in review mode. When I turn it to enlarge the photo it will start to enlarge the image then suddenly go backwards and shrink the image. Sometimes it works perfectly and sometimes not and sometimes it will turn the image into a small boxlike image that moves around the screen. Is this a design flaw or is it an electronic component wearing out?

I saw this fix on another site ! I had the same problem on my Xpro 1 ....  use an electrical contact cleaning spay !  I removed lens and battery and spayed a little each side of the command dial !  The spay evaporates almost immediately and will dry completely within 2 minutes ..  My command dial now works perfectly...  There are many brands available but I got  Sonax Electronics and Contact Cleaner from Amazon...   

Hope this works for you !
