Just bought a Fuji X-T10 for casual shooting, and it seems to be a well-made and fairly versatile little guy. I'm going to a family gathering on Thursday and would like to take just it and not my Nikon D90 or D7000 and an assortment of lenses. However, I am having trouble with the built-in flash. While the flash will fire in Auto mode, I cannot get it to fire in any of the Program modes. Reading the manual and trying various solutions just leaves me confused and flashless. If anyone can help me with this hangup I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Do you have the latest firmware installed?

Kuzano

Firmware... YES... good point.

One of the best features of Fujifilm in all their camera's is the very aggressive firmware program which they initiate frequently.

Check regularly for firmware frequency.

I was saved from two and three camera upgrades on my X-E1 body, all the way up to the feature set of the X-E2 and many features of the FT-10 by firmware upgrades. In checking, that seems true of many of their bodies.

You can now buy X-E1 bodies in the used market for between $200 - $300 and have about two camera's newer if the last upgrade is installed, which is in a version 5.x mode currently.

Fujifilm is very likely the most aggressive firmware issuer I am aware of, followed closely by Olympus.

In addition, most of both companies consist of the features of newer camera's rather than just fixes.

I enjoy buying from companies that aren't just "steam rolling" me into new camera models. What BS!

Thanks for mentioning that CatMarley

There's a lot of wisdom in that post. I've handled and used just about everything you can name over the last 60 or so years, and it looks like Kuzano has been peeking in my equipment bag - yup, Fuji and Olympus. The other stuff is for sale -- oh, except for a couple of Nikon lenses that I adapt to both Fuji and Olympus bodies.
