Can someone please tell me how to preview the DOF?  I am new to fujifilm and have the x-e3.  I often shoot using tight DOF based on my past experience, but after reviewing the manual and googling I still don't understand how to use the Preview DOF.  It seems like I have to set a it to a function button and hold the shutter release down half way, but it's hard to hold the shutter release half way down AND press a function button with one hand.  I am sure I'm simply missing something obvious, so thanks in advance for the answer!

hello,

Nothing complicated. You maybe miss the point.

Can you try this ? :

hold the FN button, and set DOF on this button.

then close lens at 8.

eye through EVF, you make focus on near thing, with an half press, and release the shoot button.

Then if you push the fn button you will see icon on EFV, and the real DOF of f/8. If you press another time the fn button, the back plan will be blur again.

That’s it.

I am so ashamed of my so bad english. Apologies for this, i just try to help ;)

 

After that said, you should follow the official topic of xe3, and post your demands there instead of creating a new post. Or maybe not ;)

You don't need to keep holding shutter release button. After focusing by pressing shutter release button half way, take your finger off from shutter release button, and then press function button which is assigned to preview button. Then you will be able to easily check DOF. Of course focusing has to be done again by pressing shutter button half way again after checking DOF. But, it will not be that annoying.

Thanks JYC2!  Got that working now.  I knew it had to be easy.  It's been a decade since I used a more sophisticated camera so I have to re-remember/re-discover a few things and I'm new to Fujifilm too.

      X-s10 with Fujinon 16mm 1.4 autofocus issue

      By Etienne B · Posted

      Hello. I have a x-s10 that I use multiple lenses with. Yesterday I noticed that with the Fujinon 16mm lens I'm having issues auto-focusing. It works on video but not for still images. When I half press the button it focuses a bit then when I release the button it snaps back to the previous focus point. Even though it manages to focus the image is still blurry. Any ideas please. I already did a a major google search and nobody has mentioned this issue. Thanks, Etienne

      X-s10 Fast shutting 20/30 fps crop ES

      By mapoett · Posted

      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.
