Unfortunately my Fuji GFX100S shutter has failed. This seems to be a relatively common problem, so I would be interested if any other member's camera has suffered a similar fate.
The good news is that Park Cameras who supplied the camera here in the UK did not quibble have been refunded the purchase price in full.
Equally good news is that I had my excellent Lumix S1r with me on a trip, and I switched seamlessly to that without a hitch.
My view - given that this appears to be a relatively common problem with early cameras (see e.g. Matt Granger on YouTube) - is to wait until the issue is addressed later in the production cycle, because I am pretty sure Fuji will have to fix this with more than just a firmware update. It seems to be a hardware related failure of the mechanical shutter.
