Graham, Did you check your Latency setting. Should be on normal when mounted to XF body. All my issues with fw 4.?.? went away after changing from Zero to normal.My only problems with the XF have been with the v4 firmware and IQ150. The sync is a problem when the exposure requires FP shutter and after a while if shooting longer exposure images will start getting out of sync.
My dealer is working the same issue with a number of other IQ1xx users who upgraded. I had to downgrade to v3 but I miss the XF controls on the IQ150 back. I too would love to be able to invoke all functions via the IQ back's LCD vs having to look down on the top XF LCD.
I've had a couple of random lockups but only with the v4 IQ software. Given that there are known issues with it and IQ1xx back's I'm waiting for the next firmware upgrade.

Don
That I am!Thanks John
... perhaps you were the mystery IQ260 user?
Graham,Interesting to note the battery latch issue. I just started to see that over the last two weeks on the road using my XF. Occasionally I would see no battery indicated for the body but assumed that it was one of the known firmware issues with the #3 updates the dealers had noted. However, upon further investigation it seems that the battery doesn't always seem to latch completely and a slight push can make/break connection. Going to do a field fix (gaffer tape on the back of the latch) and see if that fixes it.
no issues with my prism or WLF latches. Everything locks rock solid and I do alternate between finders.

I think Craig might have gotten a Sony instead, they're a bit cheaper but will have more loose screws.... :SPAM::ROTFL:Craig, it sounds like you have a DF with an XF sticker placed over the the DF :ROTFL:
Sorry---sounds like either something is up with your set-up/settings or its the camera. I'd work with a dealer to resolve the issue, and if the issues remain, you just may have a lemon that needs to be replaced/repaired. Everyone I've seen with the XF or talked to about the XF (who had a DF/DF+/AF prior)---the experience has been pretty uniform: eyes light up, smiles, and pretty happy. The DF was a pretty mediocre body, but it did work. The XF generally works so well, I think it has actually caused disdain for the DF to increase...
Hope you get it sorted out in short order.
