X-T100 view mode won't switch back from EVF

My X-T100 will not switch back from EVF view when in "EVF+LCD image display". However, when i turn the camera off the on again the LCD still displays no problem until I bring the camera up to shoot using the EVF, duration which the EVF displays no problem. However, when I bring the camera down again to shoot using the LCD display, the camera seems unable to detect this and won't switch on the LCD while remaining in EVF view. 

Any reasonable solutions? Thanks.

I have not experienced this with my X-T100 but what I usually do in these situations is do a reset :set-up menu 1 then Set-up reset. Do you have firmware 2.00 installed? But even if it has ver 2.00, reinstall it, then do a reset. If the problem still persist you know its a eye sensor problem. It should still be covered by the 2 year warranty.

Ok in the manual on page 12 it indicates that there are 5 modes that you can select by pressing the "View Mode" button : you could be on "EVF only +AUTO" and then the LCD screen will not work, you should be on "sensor+EYE SENSOR " . You have to look in the EVF while you toggle the "View Mode" button to see in which mode you are at present.

My one year old X-T100 is also showing this problem. The eye sensor is triggered when blocked, but then it doesn't revert back when unblocked. Already tried to clean the sensor but no luck.

Might have to trigger the warranty. But I was hopping that a firmware upgrade might adjust the sensitivity.

I came across the same issue as well. Problem solved. 

After inserting a flimsy plastic piece (anything with certain thickness), it is back in business.

It seems this is a problem about the sensitivity of the sensor. 

I first used a screw driver to create a tiny gap in between, and it worked. 

Stupid thing. ^^

Can you elaborate a little bit? I have the same problem on my X-E3

I think the glitch is caused by the round plastic bit adjoining the eye sensor.

The eye sensor is situated at the bottom.

After using the camera for a period, the either side of the eye piece (mine is on the left) somehow starts interfering/blocking the eye sensor. 

If the eye piece was detachable (like the one on X-T1), you would see what's causing the issue.

Sadly, it can't be removed.

I used a small cracked piece from a cell phone screen protector to stuff the gap.

It's safe to insert anything thin and tiny by using a screw driver to pry the edge of the flexible eye piece.

Enlarging the gap does the trick. ^^

Has this worked for anyone else regarding the auto eye sensor operating properly?

any other advice on doing this safely?

The information from the person who said it works appears to be saying push a thin piece of plastic between the round plastic eye cover that goes over the eye sensor? Or am i reading that wrong?

 

Regards

Glen

I wanted to thank West Adam for the tiny-piece-of-plastic-between-sensor-and-eyecup idea. It worked like a charm on an XT100 that has shown this symptom for more than a year now and I was so frustrated with it! Now there is a tiny piece of plastic (in my case cut down from the thing pills come in, if that makes sense) wedged between the eyecup and the sensor exactly where the above photo shows it and now it works like 95% of the time as opposed to 0%. 

Before this I needed to toggle through the EVF modes or turn the camera on/off just to get back to the proximity sensor working.

 

Thanks again!

      pocket wizard and XT5?

      By LBAbrams · Posted

      Has anyone successfully used pocket wizards with an XT5? I cannot get it to fire.  Do Fujis and pocket wizards get along? Thanks in advance for your wisdom on this, kind readers!

      Grzegorz, Go to the Networking Setting in your camera menu (the last one at the bottom - unless you have a My Menu then that is the last one). There, go to Network Setting and choose the SSID (name) of your WiFi network, type in the password, choose "SET". If you have a functioning DHCP server on your network, the camera should get its IP address (and Subnet_Mask and Gateway). If not, you can enter these manually. It is a little tricky, there will be some zeros already here, move the cursor after the zero and use DEL to delete it and make space in the input fields for your own correct values. If you do not know what to enter, have a look at values in the network settings of your computer and use the same except for the IP address, try some fairly higher number, hopefully you hit an unused one. Usually the values would be something like IP: 192.168.1.188, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, Gateway IP: 192.168.1.1  or something like that, take clues from your computer. The camera and computer must be on the same network. Then in Connection Mode on the camera, choose Wireless Tethering Fixed. And half-press the shutter to exit the menu and get in shooting mode. The red LED should be blinking. If you can look at your network devices, e.g. on your router, you should see the camera there. You can see check the camera settings in the camera menu in the INFORMATION item of the Network Setting menu to see the MAC address of your camera and look for it in the list of devices on your network.  Then use the tethering in your software, e.g. in Capture One. The camera may not show immediately, take a shot and then it should show in the list of available cameras. Good luck. Report back how did you fare.  PS If you have a Windows machine, you need to have Bonjour installed and running. Macs have it.

      X-T30 II Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display viewmode not working

      By grizzski · Posted

      Hey all, I just got my first camera. The X-T30 II. It seems the Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display view-mode is doing the exact same thing as just the Eye Sensor view-mode setting. Any ideas why this is or what's supposed to be happening? Firmware Version: 2.04

      Problem with multi exposure on XT5

      By George_P · Posted

      What GordW said. You have to put the drive mode dial to "S" - Single Frame. If you have it on CL, CH, BKT or Panorama (or HDR), the Multiple Exposure option will be greyed out in the shootng menu. On my X-T5 it works in RAW + JPG and also in JPG only. When Multiple Exposure is switched on, the image quality cannot be set to RAW only. If it was set to RAW only before switching Multiple Exposure On, image quality defaults to RAW+Fine. The result is JPG. After each shot press MENU/OK and after the last one press DISP/BACK.
