doad Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Just received a used X100T a couple of days ago. I notices that changing between the EVF and the OVF did not work with the viewfinder selector. Nothing in the viewfinder happened when moving it both directions. Only the EVF was shown in the viewfinder. After resetting the camera it worked for a while. Now it doesn't anymore. Am I missing something? Checked the manual twice but there doesn't seem to be a function to disable the viewfinder selector. Thanks for your help! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dickbarbour Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 There are several camera settings that prevent use of the OVF. One of these is use of the Macro mode. Unfortunately it is very easy to inadvertently hit the default macro button (top of the 4-position switch). One solution is to change the function of this button, or lock the switch by pressing down on the Menu button for several seconds. There are some other settings (that escape me now) that prevent use of the OVF, but the macro button is the most likely. Dick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
veejaycee Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 You need to be looking through the viewfinder while you use the selector. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doad Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Thank you! Deactivating the macro mode worked fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dickbarbour Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 doad, You're welcome. I was speaking from experience, as the same thing happened to me. I'm looking forward to getting the Lensmate X100T thumb grip when it's available, hopefully the end of this month. I have one on my X-E2 and in addition to helping to hold the camera steadier, it also keeps your thumb away from those little buttons on the right side of the camera, which is much better than locking them as I suggested.

Harryn Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Thank you so much dickbarbour. That same problem was driving me nuts... I have gone all Fuji and getting to know the XT1, X100T and wife's XE-1 all at the same go... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Davis Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Thank you so much Dick Barbour!! This was driving me crazy also with my X-Pro1. I did a search and found this page. I did have my camera on macro mode...once I switched it off, problem solved. Thanks again, Dave 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rbqty Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 Hi, ive just got a used x100t and the viewfinder selector is slightly loose. It’s got some wiggle in it when I select and it can also be moved forward a mm or so. Is this a normal wear and tear issue with the model? It seems like it may be something that could be adjusted. thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
