Fujifilm X-E2S LCD

[preservinglight]

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.

I wonder if it's the eye sensor doing what it's supposed to do. Page 24 in the manual.

Thanks for your reply. No, it is not due to the eye sensor. The EVF is working properly.

 

This issue is worrying as it could be a design problem.

 

Do you also have X-E2S?

My E2s does not switch the LCD on or off when I press at the back. I just tried.

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:

https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Fujifilm+X-M1+Disassembly/56288

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.
