I recently experienced intermittent LCD blackout where the lcd refused to respond. Usually I would just switch the camera off and back on to rectify it. On the last occasion I had to leave the camera off for a few minutes to get the lcd to respond. One thing I have noted is that when the LCD refused to respond the camera still behaved perfectly using the EVF and continued to take pictures. The only other place I have seen this issue mentioned is on IamtheJeff when he lists what he believes to be firmware problems. Has anybody else encountered this?

is it possible that something activates the sensor which toggles between LCD and EVF (if you’ve set the camera to work with this?).

“....The eye sensor turns the viewfinder on when you put your eye to the viewfinder and turns it off when you take your eye away (note that the eye sensor may respond to objects other than your eye or to light shining directly on the sensor). If automatic display selection is enabled, the LCD monitor will turn on when the viewfinder turns off...."

My X-T2 is only 1 week old. I have experienced this issue too just this morning. I had the LCD screen tilted out at 45% angle when I faced this problem between shots. Moving the LCD screen back to its rest position got the LCD screen activated again.

      Fujifilm xt10 should i buy? With problems

      By Att · Posted

      Im a Uni Student so im looking for a cheap camera primarily hahaha  I’m interested in if I could potentially fix it but idk maybe too risky. But the price is tempting tbh but couldn’t find any fixes or other people with the same problem  also: what exactly might be wrong with it and how fixable could it be

      Is this an interesting project or are you looking for a cheap camera? Sounds risky to me but if the condition is otherwise perfect you might be able to sell it on for spares.

      Fujifilm xt10 should i buy? With problems

      By Att · Posted

      Hi everyone, I have the opportunity to buy a used Fujifilm X-T10 for around €100, possibly even way less than €100, but the body has a defect that I’d like to evaluate before making a decision. Here’s the issue: Whenever you try to manually adjust the shutter speed or aperture, the camera freezes for about 30+ seconds. In around 90% of cases, the photo won’t be taken at all. However, the camera works perfectly fine in fully automatic mode. The lenses have already been tested on another body – they work flawlessly, so it seems the issue is definitely with the body. I haven’t been able to test the camera myself yet, but from what I understand, the problem mainly affects manual adjustments (e.g. via the front or top dials). My questions: Has anyone experienced this issue before? Could it just be a faulty control dial or a bad contact, or am I potentially looking at a more serious electronics issue? Is it worth buying and repairing the camera, or is the risk too high?  Edit: Is it a high chance for a mainboard defect? Because if it isn’t the mainboard I eventually would try to fix bad contacts or a broken flex cable for example.  Thanks a lot in advance! at

      HSS flash sync issue on the GFX 100 II ?

      By Loïc · Posted

      I can't find a solution to get HSS working on my GFX 100 II. I'm using Elinchrom Five flashes with the transmitter pro for Fujifilm. Both are supposed to support HSS, and everything works fine on my Canon R5 (with the transmitter pro for Canon). With the GFX 100 II, I can't figure out how to fix the issue of the shutter curtain being visible above 1/125s. I'm using the latest firmware versions for all equipment. I've tried the shutter modes EF, M+E, and EF+E. I've also set the flash mode to manual and to Auto FP (HSS), but nothing works. Has anyone else experienced this issue and found a solution?
