Notification Regarding Potential Loosening of FUJIFILM GFX100 Side Shutter Release “Lock” Function （Vertical grip control lock）
To our valued customers
Thank you very much for purchasing and using our products.
FUJIFILM Corporation has become aware that some users of the new FUJIFILM GFX100 have experienced a loosening of the side shutter release “lock” function contained on the built-in vertical grip. The result of this loosening is that the side shutter will no longer effectively lock, and photo capture may be triggered unintentionally. Another result is that tiny parts could become loose within the camera body and potentially interfere with camera functionality.
We anticipate that only a very small percentage of GFX100 cameras that have been shipped to date worldwide (products within the serial number range described below) may be affected by this loosening. Still, we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused to our loyal customers, and we recommend that any owners of the FUJIFILM GFX100 with the serial number in question promptly reach out to their local Fujifilm support center/ Fujifilm service center to make arrangements for a free examination and repair of the side shutter release mechanism. A production line adjustment has been made such that future shipments of the GFX100 will not be affected by this phenomenon.
The following serial numbers could be affected:
92001001～92001975 （excluding 92001830, 92001832, 92001833）
93001001～93001034, 93001038, 93001039, 93001041, 93001046
92A01001～92A01525
92M01001～92M01027
Please note that some cameras within this range were modified before sale, so please contact your local Fujifilm support center/ Fujifilm service center to reconfirm whether adjustments should be made to your camera, quoting the serial number, which can be found on the back side of the LCD (please see diagram below).
If you have any questions relating to this issue, or otherwise your GFX100, please contact your local Fujifilm support center/ Fujifilm service center.
You can rest assured that Fujifilm is absolutely committed to quality and service excellence, with respect to the GFX100, and with respect to all other FUJIFILM products.
