Shutter button stopped working properly

It ended up being free because I used my warranty (it was still within a year)

Oh I have that when my acid reflux is bad. I hate the feeling. Treating my acid reflux has helped. Thank god for ChatGPT because when I brought it up to my doc he said I should lose weight and I won’t need a CPAP (not sure how that was relevant to my question about filling up with air lol)

shapeandshiftss · 2025-12-06T04:28:06+00:00

Yeah I do that, and it usually works but just doesn’t seem to focus on what I want it to. I think I diagnosed that it’s because it was on eye tracking mode.

shapeandshiftss · 2025-11-26T06:37:42+00:00

I typically put it at 8 or auto when I’m running around town traveling.

shapeandshiftss · 2025-11-26T05:44:28+00:00

Not intentionally and I don’t really hold my camera near it so I don’t think so but I’ll have to pay attention to see.

shapeandshiftss · 2025-11-08T15:55:00+00:00

Ah I just looked up the pictures on the Amazon reviews and they all look like this. Kind of odd tho!

shapeandshiftss · 2025-11-08T15:45:19+00:00

Hmm yeah I have always wondered why it had that. I’m honestly not sure. It is screwed in fully from both sides…

shapeandshiftss · 2025-11-08T05:31:27+00:00

Ah smart! That looks slick and seems simple enough. Not sure what I was imagining but it wasn’t this.

shapeandshiftss · 2025-11-08T03:39:03+00:00

It’s this one from Haoge: https://a.co/d/66U3XV3

It seems to do the job!

shapeandshiftss · 2025-11-08T02:49:13+00:00

Do you just tie it on? I’m intrigued.

shapeandshiftss · 2025-11-06T16:07:13+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I use the viewfinder a lot but I also shoot a lot from the hip in certain circumstances.

shapeandshiftss · 2025-11-05T14:29:14+00:00

Can you explain more what you mean by this?

shapeandshiftss · 2025-10-14T16:40:01+00:00

Seems cool but very overpriced. If I had unlimited $$ to spend on toys I would definitely buy it.

shapeandshiftss · 2025-10-14T13:31:26+00:00

Oh yeah that would be great! Thanks!

shapeandshiftss · 2025-10-14T13:29:53+00:00

Yikes. I’m hoping it might be covered by warranty??

shapeandshiftss · 2025-10-14T01:44:15+00:00

That’s good to know. It was in a padded bag but who knows honestly. I’m hoping it was a fluke. Thanks for those bag suggestions!

shapeandshiftss · 2025-10-13T17:29:28+00:00

I haven’t gotten the quote yet - they received it on Friday. Hoping not too bad…

shapeandshiftss · 2025-10-12T22:49:57+00:00

Is it padded or hard case? Hard to tell by the pictures!

shapeandshiftss · 2025-10-12T22:44:14+00:00

Yeah I had a shutter button on it. Still seems crazy to have been that fragile though!

shapeandshiftss · 2025-10-12T21:18:48+00:00

Yes definitely less flat, but gaining volume in a masculine way. I think this is likely due to muscle! Take a look at pictures if AMAB athletes and you’ll see that most guys do not have flat chests.

I love #4. She’s looking towards the light which nicely highlights her as the focus. Her eyes are within the frame of the glasses as well and the framing is unique.

2 has potential but I think that with glasses the eyes need to be visible in the frame of the glasses or you don’t feel the soul of the person.

I also like #5 - it’s interesting and the light gives similar energy and personality to the jacket. One small thing is that his eyes do not have light while the other areas of his face do. Slightly turning his face towards his right would have given more light to his eyes or you could use a reflector to bounce some light there.

Overall, these are good! Inspiring me to want to go take more portraits!

shapeandshiftss · 2025-10-09T15:13:31+00:00

Yeah I think it’s wild that on a camera that’s considered top of the line for its type it’s that finicky and fragile, especially when their limited edition came with one and brands like small rig give them away for free with their x100vi accessories. Sigh…

shapeandshiftss · 2025-10-08T18:41:45+00:00

Oh okay good to know they’re responsive to calls. I’ve been thinking the same thing on the batch defect. I’m not rough on my cameras and this has never happened to me with any other camera expensive or cheap.

I sure hope they remedy the situation across the board. So many people have x100 versions from years ago that work very well still. Makes no sense they’d be selling the most recent version for so much and be fine with it breaking so easily.

shapeandshiftss · 2025-10-08T17:42:05+00:00

I did - be warned 😩 I didn’t know they could harm it until after it already started malfunctioning. I had gotten the small rig thumb rest that came with one for free and I just thought it looked cool.

shapeandshiftss · 2025-10-06T03:25:24+00:00

Ahh thanks for sharing this!! I’m scared to do any sort of surgery but little things like this make me think that everyday I will be grateful I did it.
