USED X-T2 "clunk"


Sadam6

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys!

I'm fairly new to the fuji ecosystem (i only had the x100F), i desided because the pricedrops it's time for buying the X-T2 because of the weather sealing and a few awsome lenses. I came across a good looking used one, and i bought it. When i got home, nice silent environment, i noticed a smal clunking feel when i tilted the camera up and down (body only, without battery) or shaking it gently forward and backward from the EVF area. Is this somthing i should worry about? Or this could happend if i bough it new? Anyone noticed something like that?

I'm strating to regret not saving for a new X-T3...

Thanks for you responds!

When you say "body only", do you mean with no lens attached ? Or just without the battery ? Sorry for asking such a seemingly stupid question but sometimes there are language differences and misunderstandings. I mean, if you have a lens attached that would be just normal to hear a sound.

Yes, just the body no lens attached.

My friend, I have what I hope is good news for you. I took the lens off and the battery out of my brand new X-T2. I switched off the music. Here I am, shaking the camera mildly back and forth, I am pressing on the tilt screen while doing it to make sure that the tilt screen is fixed. I can definitely hear a mild clunking noise and feel something moving inside the camera. Whatever it is, I am sure it is not a fault and I think you can rest assured that it is normal. Perhaps the shutter assembly is dampened against vibrations or something like that. The noise is quiet but easily heard and distinct. I would say that is nothing to worry about. It is a fantastic camera, relax and enjoy. You need not have any regrets, unless you are a sports shooter or something like that. The X-T3 is faster but the IQ is the same.

Thank you for reassurance! Then i just got to get used to it :) Thank you again for trying it out on yours!

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.

    • 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!
    • 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.
    • 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.
