WARNING: Stop Using Faulty AC-5VF Wall Plug Power Adapter for Fujifilm Digital Cameras. Risk of Electric Shock

Fujifilm just released an important notice (and they specify “important”), regarding their AC-5VF Wall Plug Power Adapter.

The power adapter can crack or break, and “if it separates while still connected to an electric outlet, there is a possibility to deliver an electric shock.”

Some of these chargers came bundled with Fujifilm cameras, such as Fujifilm X-A3 and X-A10.

Fujifilm released all the details on how to identify faulty chargers in this press release and will change them free of charge.
