The Last Kaizen:

 

Imagine Fuji would, for a last time, release a Firmware update for older X-series cameras (X-PRO1, X-E1, X-E2, X20, X100S, X-M1 & Co) that will bring 2 new features. Which one would you like to get?

 

Please choose just 2 New Firmware features, not more!

The last camera in which I saw the linkage to AF point was, if I am not mistaken, Canon EOS 30 (not the digital one) - I just loved that camera, and one of the big reasons was that people faces were perfectly exposed, no matter what the conditions - sunlight, backlight, candid - whatever.

To me it seems very odd that: a.) most cameras don't have that and b.) that most photographers rather pre-focus, pre-measure and then recompose (risking losing the moment and, possibly, focus as well).

The only FW features I would want is the electronic shutter so we can all use f/1.2 in bright light and an improvement in auto focus so its up to current spec of other cameras. Some people think Fuji won't upgrade the EX2 to match XT performance because it will cut into sales...well as a user of both, one does not replace the other when it comes to shooting experience. Fiji's line up will be similar to how Nikon and Canon set up their line: Pro Body camera (XT and Pro1-2 >>>pro/enthusiast camera (XT10 and XE2)>>>> enthusiast camera.

Yes spot metering in focus point would be great, also some way to batch process pictures in camera, or at least to remember the last setting to apply on further pictures, it makes me mad

 

 

As far as I know the X-T1 has linked focus point and spot metering... It was in the version 3 update.

 

Yeah found it - its under menu 5, interlock spot AE & focus area

Ah good, maybe I'll get one once the price drops and keep the x-e1 + 27 for daily casual shots or not so safe environments, I was referring to the x-e1, I'd prefer to see such things that enhance / correct basic functions implemented than new thingies like CC or electronic shutter (we don't even really know if it's doable and some stuff still need fixing or enhancing before adding functions)

For XE-2, please improve on this 2 quirks:

 

- When using "EVF only + OC sensor" view mode, enable to display the image on the LCD screen when "play" button is pressed instead of displaying it in the EVF.

 

- Allow the possibility to use the four-key arrow to change the focus point selection directly (one command) instead of actual two-action pressing "AF button" (down-key arrow) + select.

 

It would be nice to add:

 

1. In "spot metering" mode, link the spot to the AF point.

2. Allow the possibility to use the "dial compensation" ring as an "ISO" ring selector.

 

Also would be nice the addition of AF speed and accuracy of XT-1 / XT-10 (or as close as hardware allows it).

this would have been a nice feature if it had been added for FW 4.00 on X-E2. It'd be nice if a minor update added this functionality, would almost be like the joystick on the X-PRO2.

For my X-Pro 1/X10 ... intervalometer and renameable custom settings

And I'd like the TCs to work with all XF/XC lenses.

      Hello. Thankyou,now Is all more clear: I have take some time in your link. Let tell you. I has totaly forget this machine have "compress picture option" and not Only "compress lossless" anyway not change the experiment. RAW  and this last two format look like same result about Number of recording picture. Can tell all results in this: in raw you can make 17 pictures for second. Is wrong. Is about One single Press and wait buffer. Full 30/20/10/8 not change. After 17 Need Press again. You not can Press before "redgreen light recording Is on".   With preshot you can have 25  are more 7 pictures . The story change Only in jpg shot only. In jpg at 30 you have 30 picture but redgreen light off very Fast so you can shot very quicly. At 20 shot Is about start look like infinite shot. 60. So the best performance are this last One  about Speed and recording picture after camera working witout big limit. I want take a shot about Italy cyclet Just for passion. I think i Will use this last setting.  After Need check when battery not are full change and ambient temp.  Anyway my cam look like exactly specific about you link. Im Happy my cam working perfectly.

      I do not use Flickr, so I do not know what their BB code is. All I did was copy the second link you provided, (starting at https: and ending at  _k.jpg — leave off the [img] and [/img] tags) and pasted it into the message. After a moment, a message popped up asking if I wanted to paste it as the image or as a plain link. I did this twice, the first time I had it paste in as the image and the second time as a link. Nothing fancy or tricky.

      So do I just copy the BB code from flickr and paste it anywhere on the page like other forums or is there some other trick I need to perform to get it to post?
