Fuji X10 dropped / no auto or manual focus

[Thomas78]

Hello,

today my dad dropped his Fuji X-10 from about 2 feet (60 cm) on a concrete floor. (The camera was in its leather camera case.) Now the camera doesn`t focus anymore and shows a red "AF!" message in the screen. Now there is also a stronger resistance on moving the lens ring to the "OFF" position.

Does anyone has an idea what has been damaged and what I can do now ?

Regards,
Thomas

Edit: It sounds as if there is something loose inside the camera.

thomas, i picked up a perfect one on ebay a year ago for less than $100.

Time for an X20. The AF conformation in the finder is worth the upgrade.

ive had both, sold both, rebought the original. dont like xtrans. if ovf didnt bother you before, imo, stick with it!

I vote to buy a used X10 (or X20 ? ). Fixing yours will, I believe, cost more than you should spend on it.

Put the money towards a new one.
