Fuji X100 won't turn off.

It seems my X100 won't turn off. When the on/off switch is placed in the off position, pressing any button or sometimes even tilting the body, wakes the X100 up.

Anyone else have had this problem? I suppose I'll have to send it in to Fuji for repairs. With Fuji, is this done thru the dealer or is there a list of worldwide repair centers somewhere? I'm located in Korea.

Never heard of that problem. Did you disable "Quick Start Mode" or whatever it's called in the menus?

Tried turning off different settings including the "quick start" as well "OVF savings mode" as well as a few others to no avail. I found one other instance of it on the net and it seems that some have experienced the same. The culprit seems to be a finicky on/off switch as well as one instance where the lens was faulty.

I contacted Fujifilm Korea via their website support over the weekend and got a response today on Monday. Thankfully, there's a local service center just minutes from my home. Just got to find time to go there and see what the estimate is for the repair.

Did You try removing and replacing the battery?

You haven't by any chance tried replacing the memory card?

I have the same issue with an X100. Did you managed to fix the problem? I've set the camera to turn off automatically after 2 minutes of non use to save battery but this sure is anoying. Dont really feel like having to spend a lot of money fixing this.
