Last attempt before XE-2 goes in the parts bin

My XE2 was working fine until Turkey day when all of a sudden it hangs when saving image to card. It won't shut down until I remove the battery. I checked battery, lens, card these all worked fine on my other X bodies. I tried new battery, other lenses, SD cards with the same results.

If I remove the card and press the shutter, I would get 80 percent of the image on the LCD and then the image would froze, and the camera would hang.

I had the next to latest firmware so yesterday, I got home, found a newer firmware and was able to update to latest firmware but that made no difference. Everything about the camera appears in order accept after pressing the shutter, some thing goes haywire. With or without a card in the slot the camera would hang.

I'm pretty sure that the camera is gone, sending it in to be fixed is not worth just getting another camera but I want to post here with the slim hope that somebody knows something.

I have the latest firmware on bodies and lenses. All batteries, lenses, SD cards worked on my other X bodies: XPro1, XE1, XA1, XM1. Next body would be XT3 with IBIS.

Before you send it to camera heaven, you might want to do a full reset on both the setup and shooting parameters. If that doesn't do it, as a last ditch try, pull the battery and leave it out for three or four days to completely drain the little internal battery. That will start you back at having to set the date, time, and language when you turn it on but except for any of the upgrades, everything will be back to full factory default.

Hi Bill,

Thank you for affirming my last ditch effort for I've already removed that battery and had planned on not trying again until Xmas and hope for a "present'.
