Shutter Button Not Working - Help~

[TravelingP]

Hi Everyone,

I just got my X-T2 yesterday and I was enjoying it mightily, messing with the settings, when suddenly the Shutter Button just stopped taking photos. Everything else seems to be working fine. The battery is charged and the screens are working well. But when I hit the shutter button, nothing. Can anyone assist me in troubleshooting? I'm in DC to take pics of all the activities, and I'm dying with this $2,000 black brick in my hands!

There are a number of things that this could be... 

try taking the lens off and reseating it. If the camera thinks there is no lens mounted (and it's not set to "shoot without lens") it won't fire

but this is only the first thing that comes to mind.. you could also take the battery out or reset all the settings to default and see what happens

Oh my gosh, that did it. Thank you morpheme!

I have a X-T3 but now the shutter button doesn't work for video. Pictures no problem. What can I do? I did reset the camera, I did reset the camera but nothing works?

Same thing happening to me. Photos work. Even using the remote app I can record video by turning it on in my phone. But the button doesn’t work anymore. Did you find a solution?
