geoff s Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 The on / off button is getting increasingly difficult to move on my XT1, esp in the cold. Anyone experienced similar or can suggest a remedy ? thanks Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin P Wilson Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 The on / off button is getting increasingly difficult to move on my XT1, esp in the cold. Anyone experienced similar or can suggest a remedy ? thanks Geoff No problem with my earlyish X-T1. But last autumn (when X-T2 arrived) I did get my X-T1 serviced by Fuji in UK for £140 all in with a new 12 month warranty. Mine had new covering, new connector and card doors and a general clean so I thought it was good value on a well used 2 year old camera. Geoff, I am assuming your X-T1 is out of warranty otherwise just contact Fuji. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightphase - Neil Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 i have the same issue Geoff, thought i had damaged it til i tried another in the shop. tried to blow round it, to see if it was sand / dust bust still find it had sometimes, i personally think they didnt put enough grip on the switch to get a good grip on it, but i do have big hands lol.

geoff s Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 I saw a suggestion elsewhere to try dental floss to get into the crannies, so I'll give that a try. I may add a bit of lubricant to the floss. It's a pain cos it's stiffer in the cold weather, which is also when you don't want to have to de-glove to fiddle with it.

geoff s Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Yes, dental floss is the answer. I first used dry dental floss to clean out the interface then applied a bit of silicone lubricant and worked it in. Much better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FCP Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Same issue here with the X-T1. Whenever I notice I keep turning on/off multiple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
