Sighhh ... I put my order for a PRO 2 in the day it was released in January and received the camera in March. For the last month I have had this issue where I can't turn the camera on completely. I turn on the camera and the screen exhibits power on function (a dim  light), the lens does something and then NOTHING. Can't turn it off or do anything. Initially removing the battery would fix things, but things got worse. It would take several attempts to start the camera. Switching batteries and switching memory cards and memory ports did nothing. Finally I can't turn it on.

 

I have used my camera with manual focus lenses, but mostly I use FUJI AF glass. Don't know if that was a contributing factor or just that fact that it was an early of the assembly line body.

 

I delayed sending the camera back because I wanted to catch some last days of beautiful fall foliage. The camera is now in Edison, NJ at the FUJI facility. Luckily I have the FUJI PRO 1 as well, so I should make it without too many withdrawal issues. :huh: I will wait patiently for a fix rather than accept a fast solution FUJI offers - a rebuilt or camera of equal value. I baby my equipment and would rather fix something I know that was treated gently.

 

I just thought I'd post this for information purposes.

thats unfortunate .... ive got dirty contact issues with all my fuji cameras ,  it sounds like extra cleaning  with alcohol   ans a small wooden stick  on the battery and  camera contacts might have been the remedy  , the celluose  of the wood stick is very mildly

abrasive  scouring away oxidation

Possibly ... but I WAS able to view the FW version number every time with no problem ever. I'd remove the battery and then put it back in. Then I would start the PRO 2 holding the "back" button. The screen fired right up displaying the information.

 

I figured that process would be different from the normal process.

 

I'll keep your suggestion in mind for after the warranty expires. Right now expect a perfect working camera for a whole year.

      gimbals (& threads getting spammed)

      By jshire · Posted

      Hi, I'm researching a gimbal to get someone as a present & they use a Fuji XS-10. I did a quick search of previous threads on gimbals but all of them seem to either get no replies or spammed by a link to an Amazon list. I'd appreciate any comments from folks who've actually used specific gimbals with the XS-10. I'm aware that some, such as certain models from Zhiyun, DJI & FeiyuTech either don't say that they are fully compatible with the XS-10 but other sites say they do work ok but some functions don't. It's quite difficult to work out which functions work & which don't. Thanks.

      A portrait with a 28mm lens

      By DavidJohn · Posted

      This was snapped during a lunch.  Total shooting time—a few seconds. We so often read that a proper "portrait" should be snapped with a longer than normal lens, a low ISO to get lots of detail, and have a soft light held up above the head, and slightly to the side. The key, in my opinion, is always carry a camera.  Have your camera available to capture candid, authentic photographs.  Available light, no posing.   This portrait used 2000 ISO, the lens wide open at f4, and 1/100 sec. to stop any movement.  I didn't even take time to compose—I just snapped.  I leave the "Face Detection" on unless I'm photographing a landscape or subject other than a person. The GFX100RF has the equivalent of a 28mm lens.  The large sensor renders fine detail even at fairly high ISO ratings.  And the drawing of the lens is just perfect in my opinion.  It was set to B & W, with slightly reduced sharpness and clarity (set in-camera).  Ideal for "portraits."  Now, for some subjects I will likely increase the sharpness and clarity to the normal setting.  The camera is new, and I'm still experimenting with it.
