Shutter continuously starts at camera turn on

[Mike B]

OK, Has anyone experienced this. Today I was doing some shots and got an error to turn camera off and turn on again. Now the shutter starts ot turn on and runs for 3 to 5 trips and the error returns. Pull all batteries out and tried again. And it continues. Shutter begins to trip at start. Checked the shutter release. All appears fine. Tried with and without battery grip. With and without a lens. Tried various S,C,M, focus selections, All the various drive options. Still can't get it to stop doing it. Even did the firmware 1.10 install again. Nothing resolved it.  Hoping someone ran into this and knows a solution (other than sending back to the factory)

Sounds like a hardware problem underneath the shutter release. Send it in for maintenance.

Make sure your battery grip shutter is locked when you intend to use the cameras shutter button. Otherwise you could fill the buffer with a long continuous sequence of shutter releases that would continue even if you separate the battery grip.

Yes I have experienced it with one lens on both the X-T2 and X-Pro2. The lens was the 16-55 F2.8. Especially at the 55mm focal length when it could not focus. So I sent the lens back into Fuji. I haven't heard anything yet and hasn't happened again.

Thanks for the feedback all.  The issue happens with various lenses or even no lens. With and without the battery grip attached and if attached locked or not. At this point I'm in agreement with Tom that it most likely is a part failure and it will be on the way to New Jersey. I hate the fact that I will be without it for a spell, yet need to get it back to functional.  We will find out what Fuji finds.

 

Thanks Again

UPDATE:

Just got the camera back from Fuji.  Repair information indicates the problem was the shutter failed. Shutter unit replaced under warranty. Camera was also cleaned. Fuji had the camera for 13 days. I did call the repair center during the repair for an update. Overall very satisfied with the repair and the tech I called. Just wish the camera had not had the failure. Fuji supported as advertised.
