X-T2: some settings are changing by themselves (?)

[Alexander_S]

Hello,

I am experiencing a strange phenomena with my X-T2. Some settings seem to change by themselves. The first one is the EVF eyesight adjustment: almost every shooting session I have to start from readjusting it.  The second one (the most irritating) is that mechanical shutter is changed to the electronic one all by itself (while the conditions of the lighting remain the same, i.e. there is no need to switch to the shutter speed higher than 1/8000). If I can somehow explain the first one by unintentionally touching the adjustment wheel (although I'm trying my best not to touch it), I cannot explain the second one. I have read at some forum that setting the automatic face detection 'on' can cause this problem, but I have checked - it's off on my camera. 

Has anybody experienced this problem(s) and found a solution? Or should I take my camera for a repair? Thank you.

Alexander, I don't believe you're imagining things!

Like yourself, I'm oftentimes finding the EVF eyesight adjustment has changed (so then you have to go through the nuisance of re-calibrating it to your shooting eye, which for me is the left one) although the camera has just been sitting in the bottom of my backpack; I reckon it must be from putting other objects into and out, even though I never leave anything resting atop my camera in there. The other phenomenal adjustment (that was a play on words really) that occurs is when the exposure compensation dial moves from its normal 0 position. Both of these could have been prevented if the camera had been built with similar locks for these dials as are found on the other top dials.

Can't comment usefully on the electronic/mechanical shutter issue though ... I might speculate that you've pushed the trigger inadvertently while the lens cap was on, but honestly my comprehension of how and when the camera would switch to one or the other is very limited. Hope this helps some, Paul
