Hi,

 

I have been a Canon/Nikon user and I recently bought a Fujifilm X-E2s as I really like the form factor and has read so many good things about Fujifilm. However, I am already experiencing problem with the LCD screen.

 

The LCD randomly kept coming on and off by itself and I noticed that a slight pressure on the back of the camera near the LCD can sets it off or on. This is really puzzling.

 

Anyone has similar issue?

 

Any solution or advice would be greatly welcome.

 

Thank you.

That's a typical symptom of intermittent contact(s), place - connector on main board where the ribbon cable from LCD is attached.  

To understand how it works, take a look on photos at Step 15 from this link:


The link is related to another model, X-M1, so parts are looks different but the principle is the same and clearly shown. The locking part of connector (narrow brown strip), on your camera, probably wasn't settled firmly at assembling stage, and then been self-loosed, or some else reason (tolerances issue for example).

 

What can you do with all it.

 

Best way is to go to an authorized service, even if warranty time expired. Should be low cost work.

 

Or fix it with own hand. Fixing (locking of connector) is very simple for any average technician, but opening of camera may be too complex task. Some screws are hidden under glued skin (and exact position is unknown of course). Can be some clip locks on plastic parts. Basically, for access to that connector you need to open the back panel only.

Here the link of X-E1 disassembly, may be helpful too:

Thank you all for your replies and suggestions.

 

I just got mine X-E2s about two weeks ago and only used it like 3 times.

 

I do suspect that there is some issue with the circuitry but was also concern about the strength of the casing.

 

I will be bringing back to the shop and see what they say.

 

Thank you.

Update:

 

Brought to the camera shop and they put a 23mm lens on it and nothing happened. Came back and play with the 18-55mm on at home and nothing happened. Brought it out today and the problem came back. It seems like there is a correlation between the problem and the camera temperature. The problem came back when the camera is warm.

 

I wonder why.

 

I will be bringing it back to the shop again.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By thelostkiwi · Posted

      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

      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.

      Typically you need to make sure the lens is compatible with the camera, i.e. check the lens compatibility charts for your camera, then make sure the respective firmwares are updated so older issues are resolved. After that, each lens has a manufacturer’s profile which will be embedded into the raw file meta data for the images captured using that lens. From there, it is up to the raw conversion software to apply the lens correction to the image. Different converters do that differently, some automatically, some only if a setting is turned on. For in-camera jpegs, the on-board converter does the corrections automatically, assuming the camera recognizes the lens, it applies a generic profile otherwise. I do not know if that can be turned off or not.
