*ist D grip problem revisited

Beings you DIDN'T give a YEAR/MAKE/MODEL, I can only give a generic answer.

There should be an adjuster either where the cable goes into the throttle grip, or somewhere along the cable itself, or where the cable attaches to the carb/fuel injection/throttle body.

Ensure there is a LITTLE slack, so the throttle can fully close, and check cable routing to insure the cable doesn't pull and cause unwanted acceleration when the front forks are turned left to right.

Hi Tom, if it your first time operating the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 USN Lens then this wont be that difficult. To operate the lens, simply attach it to the DSLR body, turning the lens untill it clicks into place. To zoom the lens, turn the grip section of the lens both ways.

If the ring is firmly attached to the body, chances are you will end up cracking the body of the camera destroying the shell in the process.

Remove the lens and clean the contacts on the camera body and the lens where they meet with a cotton swab lightly dampened with rubbing alcohol. Re-attach the lens and make sure the ring (if you have one) is set to "A".

This is an old post but if you haven't found your solution yet here is the solution.
The Fuji FinePix S2 Pro uses two sets of batteries one set located in the camera body grip and another set in the battery grip itself. If you are experiencing the problem you are then the batteries in the camera body are dead and need replacement. here is a diagram. Replacing the batteries in the camera body require removing the grip.

Try cleaning the contacts where the lens and camera body meet with a cotton swab lightly dampened with rubbing alcohol.

I found on some lenses you need to go into the menu , select settings and change av appurature setting to 2 instead of 1 .

I've got the same problem. The problem is that the lense is loosely attached to the body. What you need to do is that when you see the Av flashing, press the lense of the camera to the body and twist the lense to the left a bit. This tightens the connection. You can then take the photo.

Hi again,

Try to force the camera to reset. This could be done by removing tthe battery grip and the batteries in the body for an hour or so.

i have yet to recieve the b-grip for my *ist so i can't tell you if i have the same problem. i do have a thought on the matter and an interest in the fix as i have a grip on order. have either or both of you upgraded to firmware 1.1? that is not listed as something the firmware update remedies. however, i understand that manufacturers often include fixes for less conspicious problems without listing them. if you haven't upgraded it's worth a shot, you have nothing to loose as long as you use FRESH batteries. hope i helped. have fun shooting.
