Re: X100V Flickering

I have the identical problem with my x100v. Every time I press the shutter halfway there's a repeated on/off exposure shift that makes the image flicker. Camera did this out of the box but being a techno-klutz I was sure it was me. Finally sent it to Fuji saying with description saying what gives? First they cleaned it and sent it back. Same. Sent it back again, this time they replaced the lens and power board. Same. Called repair, they claimed they couldn't reproduce the phenomenon. I sent pics examples. Okay, send it back again, they still couldn't make it happen but they exchanged it for new one. This one sure looked like an open box unit but I'm trusting by nature. OMG, again the flicker! Once more repair claimed they couldn't duplicate the behavior. I'm looking at it now and I can make it happen easy, just press the button halfway and there's the flicker. I'm sick about this. This thread exactly describes the issue. I'm taking it back to dealer and showing them the problem and relying on their clout to replace with new. Shoulda done that in the beginning but I didn't enjoy my buying experience with the dealer. Buyer's remorse.
