I bought a Fuji XF 18-55mm f2.8-4 lens for my wife and unfortunately the aperture ring doesn’t adjust the aperture blades, However when fitted to the camera (Fuji XT100) the auto aperture engages the blades and it works normally. Could anyone tell me what could be wrong and possibly how to repair?

On the lens there is a switch that has one side marked with an “A”, the other side marked with a ‘circular’ graphic that is supposed to represent setting the aperture by way of using the lens’ aperture ring. Make sure the switch is not set to the “A” side. You might need to move the switch back and forth a few times to make sure it is not stuck.

Next make sure the camera is not in Program Mode and not in Shutter Priority Mode, that is, set it to be in either fully Manual Mode or Aperture Priority Mode — your manual should be able to help you do this. Rotate the aperture ring and you should see the f-stop number change in the display.

If this does not work, you may have a dirty contact that is not letting the ring pass information back to the camera, while these are easy enough to clean, maybe have the dealer take a look to make sure nothing else is wrong.

p.s. Welcome to the forum.

      New X100VI User, Some questions

      By Photolandscape · Posted

      I had lusted for the X100VI for months. I am going to Japan in November, and after lugging my main camera and lenses around Europe for 25 days last month (Hasselblad X2D), and being 71, I decided it was time to get a new, affordable street/documentary camera. I logged on to BH and lo and behold, found a black on immediately. I have had it for three days and have some questions/comments: --I can't foresee ever using the video features. Is there any way to delete them from the menus? --I find the menus to be, to put it nicely, almost impossible to wade through and interpret. Reminds me a lot of my wife's Lexus--great car, poor user interface. So my question is: is there any way to delete some of the data presented on the LCD screen--specifically, along the top where I see "4K29.97" and "5h10m30s"? I assume the "1142" I see just to the right along the top refers to how many images I can record on my SD card? And there is a little window on the right that says "Shot". What does it refer to and can I delete it? --And one more if I may--IBIS. It looks to me like IBIS only works with the Video side of the camera, not still photography. Is that correct? I can't figure out how to activate it for still photography. If I can solve these issues it would be a big help. I've gone through the entire 360-page digital manual but I haven't found answers to these questions.   Thanks in advance, Steve

      Vignetting

      Hmmm, I've noticed on my XF 150-600mm too, it's as if the profile corrections in Lightroom aren't properly matching the lens. I've not noticed it on any other lenses I own and use.

      Vignetting

      All of a sudden, I’m getting vignetting with both Fujifilm 18-135 and 55-200.  I don’t use lens hoods so that’s not the cause.  Thoughts anyone?

      No exposure indication on screen of x-t50 when using xc15-45

      By Stuart Davis · Posted

      I am not getting any exposure indication on the scale on the left side of the screen when I install the XC15-45mm 3.5-5.6 lens on my X-T50. Is there a setting that might cause this? This doesn't happen with my 23mm f2 or 50mm f2.
