Sounds like it's very easy to deal with if you have it and don't want to send it in. If you want to use a remove, stick a piece of dark tape over the mic input. Or just use the wifi app and leave the door closed. But for resale down the road, probably better to be able to say it's a non-issue. I haven't checked mine, but probably will when I get back home and, if it's an issue, I'll send it across the river to NJ...

Yep, better have it fixed if it affects your camera.
Mine is already undergoing service, I'll report back when I have it back, so I can see if the issue has disappeared.
As you and I said, it's an easy fix.
Obviously, it only affects users taking very long exposures during daylight with a tethered remote and the jack door open.

Everything I see and read is when there is a high powered flashlight pointed into the port, in total darkness and exposures taken with the lens cap on...
i haven't read anything about through the af assist lamp, yet. it makes me wonder just how weather-resistant this thing is.

I'm not Rico, but I've dealt with them. In the States, just find the number on the website for their New Jersey offices, where the repair center is located. And just give 'em a call. I've always found them really easy to work with and they'll process whatever they need to, give you the information about where and who to send it to and get you underway. The one time I had to send something in I had it back in a matter of a few days. Of course I'm just across the river from them in PA, so shipping was probably particularly quick, but it shouldn't make that much difference...flysurfer,
I've never dealt with Fuji repair before, what are the steps for getting back to them for fix?
Call, email, website, etc.
Thanks.
