X100V eye-sensor problem

Hi everybody.

My X100V has an annoying problem: the eye-sensor doesn't switch from screen to viewfinder, and vice versa.

The eye-sensor itself seems to work: if I turn on the camera with my finger in front of the eye-sensor, the camera starts properly in viewfinder mode, but when I remove my finger it doesn't go back to the LCD screen. If I turn on the camera with the eye-sensor free, it starts normally with the LCD screen, but then it doesn't switch to viewfinder by bringing my eye close to the eyepiece or a finger to the eye-sensor.

I am not new for this camera: I had the X100T and the F, and I've had the V for a year now.

View mode setting is set on ”eye sensor”, as usual. The eye sensor is clean and free from obstructions. I reset the machine by restoring the factory settings, both for the shooting configuration and for the general configuration. The problem remains.

I also formatted the SD in the car, to avoid Mac compatibility issues or weird invisible files. I have also tried other brands of SD.
The firmware is updated to version 2.13.
The issue persists.

The problem is not constant, but very frequent. It shows up all days, then suddenly disappears and comes back for no reason apparent.

Does something like this happen to anyone else?

Thank you!

It is perfectly clean, as I’ve written in the post.
