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)

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.

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.

Blue Jays are tricky to get good photos like you have, they tend to fly away as soon as the lens cap comes off 😀.

      I own the Fuji X-T1 and X-H1. I own several Fuji lenses but I tend to use 3rd party vintage manual glass which I find quite enjoyable to use. I'm testing a photo here taken from my Flickr account that showcases the Tokina 100-300mm Zoom lens with 1.4 extender.

      CANNOT BACKUP OR RESTORE X-T4 SETTINGS WITH FUJI X ACQUIRE

      By Astigmatism · Posted

      Forgot to mention another thing. Mine does not work if I plug the USB cord into a USB hub. It only works if I plug the cord into one of the USB ports on my computer itself (an iMac). This surprises me because I think there's a hub built into the computer itself, which is how the computer has multiple USB ports in the first place. I think it was somebody here that suggested I try that -- sorry I don't remember who!

      xPro1 can't change aperture with fujinon 27mm

      On another forum someone suggested spraying some electrical contact cleaner into the wheel but the Fuji tech said that could risk frying the rest of the cameras electrical so I haven't tried that.

      Potential bug in X100VI - C mode, screen going very dark

      By sfainbraun · Posted

      I have an x100VI with 1.01 firmware - did a reset already and didnt solve issue I am about to describe. Can you all see if your camera does this: Switch to C mode, step down to f16 and then press shutter half way. Does your screen go dark? I have tried playing will all settings (have had the following so quite familiar with the menus: x100, x100f, XT-2, X-Pro 2, XT-3) , only happens in C mode. If you find this can you report to Fuji @ digitalinfo@fujifilm.com. They told me they had not seen this before and that it was normal behavior because the shutter is closing, but the shutter closes in S mode as well.
