Xpro2 “turn off the camera and turn on again”

I bought a used xpro2 for pretty cheap knowing the mechanical shutter doesn’t work 100% of the time. I was planning on just using the electronic shutter until I had enough money to send it in for repair. 

In the main menu I switched the camera to mechanical shutter just to see if it would work on any specific shutter speed and now the camera is stuck in a loop saying “turn camera off and on again” while firing the shutter every time I turn the camera on.
 

The camera was working fine when I was only using the electronic shutter but now I can’t even get back into the menu to change it back to electronic shutter only.

Ive tried taking the battery out and leaving it for a few minutes but nothing has changed.
Also none of the buttons do anything when the camera is on other than the image preview.

Any ideas on how I can get it back to electronic shutter only?

I'm having the same issue now! I just got off the phone with the Fuji repair folks who said it's a mechanical shutter issue and that it probably needs to be replaced. However, I read elsewhere that someone was able to switch it back to electric shutter where it worked. I, too, can't access the menu now, though, and just have that error message. I can get to playback menu but I don't think you can change your shutter type there. Any luck with your issue or any pointers for me with this?

      ISO and exposure dial’s misbehaving. Need help

      By Michaelb5 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I am new to the fujifilm system, and I just received my X100vi about 15 days ago, and yesterday I noticed that ISO and exposure dials are acting up. I spent hours watching YouTube videos and reading forms without finding any solutions. Using ChatGPT or Gemini also didn’t help. My issues are the following: If I want to set my ISO at a specific value then the camera LCD/EVF shows a totally different value. For example, I have shutter manual, aperture manual and ISO dial at 6400, the camera shows ISO at 4000, when I take pictures it will show ISO at 4000 and not 6400. When I try to choose another ISO value it will skip some of the available values that are shown on the dial. Another issue I am having is when my exposure dial is not set at specific value, then I cannot set ISO to Auto no matter what value I select on the dial. If I do select the different exposure compensation values, then I choose A for ISO, the camera will activate the front commend dial to manually change ISO values. To get in Auto ISO, the shutter speed cannot be set in auto and the ISO dial should be set at 125, when I turn the ISO wheel, it seems like the numbers are misaligned by one value, If I put the dial on A with shutter speed manual, then it will trigger the front commend dial. The other issue that I am having is when I have Aperture, shutter speed and ISO on manual, If I change the exposure dial compensation + or - , it actually changes the exposure of the picture as well as the ISO value, which as I understand, if Camera is in full manual, the exposure dial should do nothing. The last issue that I am having, if I do have ISO in manual at a set value, and adjust exposure compensation dial, it alters my ISO instead of my shutter speed or my aperture, even though ISO is in Manual and the other two dials are in Automatic. I am not really sure if all of this is by design and I am just not understanding how everything works together, but it seems really odd how everything changes. Resetting the camera settings didn’t help.

      Remote Release suddenly stopped working

      By FSND · Posted

      I also have the eaxct problem with my X-T5. The remote used to work, but not anymore. I also get the light coming on on the camera back, and autofocus will happen, but no shutter release. Since I use the 2 or 10 seconds timer more I don't know if a firmware update is the cause of this negative change. I actualley only use the wired jack-remote for action release on a tripod.  Did anybody find a cause, and even more assisting, a solution?

      OVF magnification

      By Rich Martin · Posted

      On my XPro 2 the rear command dial, when pressed, can cycle through 3 different magnification levels in the OVF.
