I have been working with my XT-5 and a Vello Freewave wireless remote control for a few months now and recently the shutter has stopped working properly. On the camera, the shutter has been functioning as a half-press for autofocus but not registering as a full press. I have tested the Vello remote with other cameras including an XT-4 from a friend and it worked perfectly fine. Is there a setting I might have changed at some point? A coworker asked to try the camera for a few minutes and might have changed a setting I didn't know about and around then is when the remote stopped working properly.

I'd be checking you have the latest firmware for the camera body, and latest software/firmware for the remote control.

Check that wireless/bluetooth is enabled on the camera body.

Check that the two items are connected by wireless/bluetooth.

Work through these basic troubleshooting steps first.

I had this problem a year or so back, and ultimately the camera went back to Fuji for a repair.

Interestingly, the problem has resurfaced. So I guess its going back again!

Love the X-T5, but this problem is a little annoying.

      Please Advise On Broken X-a5 Shutter

      By Gotham · Posted

      Somehow my shutter fell off my X-a5. On Amazon, there are a number of camera shutter buttons for Fuji cameras. My first thought was that I could just purchase one of these and be ready to go. But after checking these out, it appears that these shutter buttons are for cameras with a screw hole in the shutter button and the X-a5 doesn't have this kind of shutter and even if it did, the shutter is gone.  I called Fuji and they wouldn't even discuss it or accept my photo above to view it, they said I had to send it in which I'm not ready to do. One more update... I just stuck a pin through the center opening of the small center hole and the shutter activated and took a picture. Seems like there could possibly be something to attach there, like a replacement release to remedy this. Based of my explanation and what you can see on this scan, can someone advise me what I need to purchase or what I need to do to resolve this? Thank you.

      Are you certain the spot is on the inside and not some small amount leftover from the spot you cleaned? Maybe try a different brand of lens cleaner, but make sure it is safe for lenses so that the lens coatings are not removed. Even weather resistant lenses can get dust inside, the seals can only keep out so much dust and zoom lenses are known to get dusty on occasion. More so than prime lenses do. Weather resistant means more sealing, but achieving perfect sealing is tough to get. It is also possible the dust has been there from the time it was manufactured and you are only now noticing because of the white dot. Does the dust show up in any of your photos? As far as cleaning cost goes, your local camera repair shop will be able to give you some estimates, prices will be different depending on where you are.
