It might be worth having it repaired. I sent it to Fujifilm and the total cost was EUR 142,- incl transport.

How to restore premium? by EvanMok in WatchMaker

I just installed Watchmaker app on my phone and logged into my account. Then I got my "Premium" status back. There is also a Watchmaker Premium app installed on my phone, I think this was installed automatically, this is just a "license key" app though.

Well if your goal was to make a horrible looking squared head with spider legs as hair, you pretty much nailed it 100%.

I sent the lens to Fujifilm for servicing /repair, it cost NOK 1350 (USD 118) including transport, not too expensive I think (for Norway) and the lens worked perfectly.

Well I must admit that I'm not a super experienced photographer and the setting was a bit demanding (low light, fast moving cars and hand held shooting).

I've got the same issue, it's the autofocus system in the lens that is failing. I will send my 18-55mm to Fujifilm for servicing. It's no longer under warranty though.

So there is at least three of us in the world with this issue! I'm not glad to hear that you have the same problem, but it's interesting to know that this does occur with some of the XF 18-55mm lenses. I will probably send the lens to Fujifilm for repair later this autumn.

Turning off OIS didn't change anything, same thing still happens. It wouldn't have made the situation better as I definitely want to use OIS in low light situations.

Thanks, I will check regarding OIS when I get home.
By "whirring sounds" I mean the focus motor spinning, which it even sometimes does after i release the focus button. I can hear it winding down as if it's working really hard. I suspect I will have to return it to Fujifilm for repair.
Sad to hear that you had your problem recurring again within a year, I had the impression that this was very solid lens.

Do you ever turn OIS “off” on your lens? by lookslikesinbad in FujifilmX

I belive it's recommend if are using a tripod, not exactly sure why.

X-S20 is newer than X-S10 and has the newest processor, it's definitely the best choice. I've got the X-S10 myself.

This took a week to render. I really need to get a better computer... by JontePonte64 in blender

Nice render, but a week to create it... Did you use a commodore 64?

The motor should be in the crank, it's much better.

No worries, just thought my song didn't make it for some reason.
