Fuji X-T20 shipped.

Recommended Posts

Got a note today from B&H that my waiting (since Dec.19) is about to come to fruition.

The X-T20 is about to arrive somewhere in the vicinity of March 6.

Can't wait !

 

I've ordered it as a weight load relief walkaround camera, 'cause lagging Nikon D750 with 24-120mm gun is becoming a bit too burdensome at my advanced age. I'll let you good folks know how it works out when I get my hands on this new toy.

First impressions:

1. This thing is sooooo tiny, I can hardly hold it in my ugly big hands...

2. Takes great pictures!

3. Incredibly lightweight. Yet seems unbalanced with the kit 18-55mm.

4. For the life of me can't figure out why Fujifilm did not include a cable to download photos into computer.

5. Also there was no software supplied with this purchase. Any suggestions about raw conversion soft?

if it is unbalanced with the 18-55 think of what it would feel like with the ginormous 16-55

 

you can download the software

they didn’t include a cable because

 

1) costs more money 

 

2) most people download pictures by taking the card and placing into a card reader 

 

They assume that if you have a computer you will have learned to do otherwise.

 

I’ve never used a cable to download pictures they are all unused in the boxes of the camera, additional software CD and manuals on CD’s too...

Thank you milandro.

 

I have a habit of downloading raw files from Nikons using the supplied cable, but will settle for a card reader.

 

One more question if I may: is software update needed for X-T20 and for the 18-55mm lens or Fujifilm sends these items already loaded with the latest updates?

I don’t own a X-T20 but , if upgrading those programs costs more than what you are prepared to pay, you may use Silkypix another free program also provided from Fuji

Then , after you’ve done that download also Free the NIK Google suite to work on the jpegs

Thanks milandro Ive never looked at this before so I just downloaded to try it out.

 

 

Cheers, I don’t know whether you refer to the NIK

or

both are outstanding.

 

I have to say that my personal favorite is ( but I have the X-T1 so this might not work  for the new cameras) to do raw conversion with Aperture and then work with NIK for sharpening, B&W or effects.

Thank you, milandro. On your advice I have downloaded Silkypix and use it to convert raw files to jpeg. Then I prefer to use Corel PaintPro X8 to work out the detailing. I do not necesserily like Silkypix interface, but ready to swallow this Fuji pill... ;)))

    • Has anyone successfully used pocket wizards with an XT5? I cannot get it to fire.  Do Fujis and pocket wizards get along? Thanks in advance for your wisdom on this, kind readers!
    • Grzegorz, Go to the Networking Setting in your camera menu (the last one at the bottom - unless you have a My Menu then that is the last one). There, go to Network Setting and choose the SSID (name) of your WiFi network, type in the password, choose "SET". If you have a functioning DHCP server on your network, the camera should get its IP address (and Subnet_Mask and Gateway). If not, you can enter these manually. It is a little tricky, there will be some zeros already here, move the cursor after the zero and use DEL to delete it and make space in the input fields for your own correct values. If you do not know what to enter, have a look at values in the network settings of your computer and use the same except for the IP address, try some fairly higher number, hopefully you hit an unused one. Usually the values would be something like IP: 192.168.1.188, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, Gateway IP: 192.168.1.1  or something like that, take clues from your computer. The camera and computer must be on the same network. Then in Connection Mode on the camera, choose Wireless Tethering Fixed. And half-press the shutter to exit the menu and get in shooting mode. The red LED should be blinking. If you can look at your network devices, e.g. on your router, you should see the camera there. You can see check the camera settings in the camera menu in the INFORMATION item of the Network Setting menu to see the MAC address of your camera and look for it in the list of devices on your network.  Then use the tethering in your software, e.g. in Capture One. The camera may not show immediately, take a shot and then it should show in the list of available cameras. Good luck. Report back how did you fare.  PS If you have a Windows machine, you need to have Bonjour installed and running. Macs have it.
    • Hey all, I just got my first camera. The X-T30 II. It seems the Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display view-mode is doing the exact same thing as just the Eye Sensor view-mode setting. Any ideas why this is or what's supposed to be happening? Firmware Version: 2.04
    • What GordW said. You have to put the drive mode dial to "S" - Single Frame. If you have it on CL, CH, BKT or Panorama (or HDR), the Multiple Exposure option will be greyed out in the shootng menu. On my X-T5 it works in RAW + JPG and also in JPG only. When Multiple Exposure is switched on, the image quality cannot be set to RAW only. If it was set to RAW only before switching Multiple Exposure On, image quality defaults to RAW+Fine. The result is JPG. After each shot press MENU/OK and after the last one press DISP/BACK.
