”Too many” folk were reporting either very loose, or non-functional vertical grip Lock Switch function on the GFX 100. I think someone here posted that about their camera.
Fuji is aware, has serial number ranges that could have the problem and a repair strategy:

If your camera is in the SN range, yet seem OK, there are two things to know:
- It “May have been” addressed before shipment and you can call Fuji to make sure it is OK.
- If it seems OK but wasn’t addressed before shipment, it could go bad and even shed small parts into the camera which could cause a “camera to malfunction.”

PS – Kevin, this might be a partial answer to one of my queries on your “ask Fuji” list re the GFX 100 in another thread here!

My serial number is within the problem range. I called and spoke to a Fuji representative that told me that, even though the switch problem is not currently manifested, I should send it in within a year from the purchase date. Free shipping and a return within 48hrs after receipt. Additionally, Fuji will extend their original one year warranty an extra year at no additional cost.
