Odd error message in viewfinder

[TheOldCrofter]

Hi folks I hope this finds you all well.

I am relatively new to Fuji cameras but am well versed in film cameras including medium format. So, please bear with me.

I have a Fujifilm X100T and think it is a smashing wee camera. Recently due to illness I have been away from photography and decided to get back in the saddle using the wee Fuji sit is so light and portable. It could be, that I have simply forgotten all that I taught myself on Fujifilm cameras, and that is the real problem.

When I started to use the camera again I made sure I had a fresh battery, spare battery etc. However, when I depress the shutter I see a error message in the viewfinder saying "OK next"  "< Retry BACK EXIT".

The lamp on the rear of the body flashes orange and green which I think signifies it it writing data to the card?

Can anyone give me a steer on what is going on? 

I think it may also be an idea to have it serviced which I am prepared to do but not sure if this is a fault in addition or my own lack of familiarity with the camera.

Thanks in anticipation.

Frank

Did you set the camera to timer or bulb mode, accidentically?

Thanks for the suggestion Olaf.

Dial on the top plate is set to A and not B which is usually Bulb mode. 

Have just noticed that the camera is 'hunting' for focus!

I‘d suggest you set the focus to manual for now. What happens then?
