Fujifilm X-T100 and Shutter Release

I have an X-T100 and the shutter release that uses the 2.5 jack will not work.  I have two different releases and neither one works both are known to be good since I have an X-T2 and both releases work on that camera.  I have set the camera to use the release when it is plugged into the mic/release 2.5 socket in the menu (Shooting Menu 6 / Movie Setup / MIC/REMOTE RELEASE / REMOTE) but nothing when I try to use the release. Am I missing something or could the socket be dead?

Check to see if you need to be out of es mode...it may need to be set on mechanical mode in order to work like using external flashes. Shooting menu 5 under shutter type. if not then it may only be used for usb controllers. I have mine set for es and ms and it works using the Fujifilm RR-90 remote on my X-T100 via usb.

Yes, when I had a X-T100 I had to configure the 2.5mm connection for a shutter release. After that it worked fine, and I wasn't using a Fuji shutter release either!

The menu item is described somewhere in the X-T100 manual, maybe in the video section.

I think you have to pick between shutter release and external mike.

I always had it set to use mechanical shutter so I don't know if electronic shutter works with the 2.5mm remote shutter release.
