x100F - shimmer in EVF & LCD after shutter release

[garyfallon]

Recently purchased a "F" with a low shutter count. When using a half press focus and continuing to the shot there is a slight flicker in the EVF and LCD. This does not happen with the OVF. Also, This does not happen at f2 thru f3.6. I begins at f4 and continues throughout the aperture range. So the question becomes is this a concern? This was not evident withy xpro2.

Thank you in advance for any help on this matter.

The X100 series has a leaf shutter, so the shutter must close, then open for the exposure, then close again for sensor readout, then open again for normal viewing. So some blackout/flicker as the shutter opens and closes?

This is what I found on a firmware update that seems to address the problem. However, firmware version is at Ver. 211 already. As stated above this occurrence only happens using the EVF and at apertures between f2.0 and 3.6. It does not happen using the OVF or LCD.

The firmware update Ver.2.11 from Ver.2.10 incorporates the following issue:

1. The phenomenon is fixed that when pressing the shutter button halfway under certain conditions, the live view can flicker.
