Malfunction Xpro 3

 Please help 😢

My xpro3 was always flawless, until today. 
My camera does’t function anymore. It shows only the amount of pictures and battery level al the rear display. Neither button works anymore, as the screens and viewfinder. Camera looks frozen. 

I noticed that when I turn it on for the first time after installing a battery, it powers the lens for a second. After that it doesn’t happen anymore, untill I install the battery again or lens again.

Tried a different lens, cleaning the contactpoints, different battery, different SD, uncharging it for 3 days, tried to connect it to a computer, charged it for a whole day…..no sign of life :(

What is remarkable, is that it drains the battery, also when the camera is shut off again. The last thing I did whit it was (as I remember correctly) transferring pictures to the X-app using Bluetooth. Can it be stuck in the transfer mode?

What to do? Is there a way I can reset the camera without a button?

Please help

It may be possible to reset the camera, pull the main battery out and put the camera on the shelf for about a week or so. Doing that normally would cause the settings to all go back to the defaults from the last firmware update, removing any settings you have stored in the camera.

But it sounds like you will need to take the camera to the repair shop.

p.s. Welcome to the forum and hopefully your camera is fixable.

Unfortunately I had to sent it to Fuji. It was an electrical hardware problem inside the camera. Costed €300,- 

 

This is so bad... I have this camera a bit over 2 years, and I am using it as my second camera. Only a littlebit on my travels. And now it costs me again over 300 Euros... This makes me angry. When its an electrical hardware isnt it Fujis Problem to solve it for the customer? Sorry, this makes me angry...

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By Giampaolo Masserano · Posted

      I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By jerryy · Posted

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.
