How to unlock your X-T1


Robin

Recommended Posts

Its a small thing but if you dont know about it, it will drive you crazy.

I have used my X-T1 for a year now, but while out shooting in Lacock a lock icon came on screen when I wanted to use the D buttons to change the focus point. Some how I had pressed the OK button for a few seconds and it locks the settings, so just press the OK button again to unlock, a simple error I know, but it took me ages to find out what I had done.

@Robin: Many thanks for explaining.

 

@flysurfer:

Most things can be found somewhere in the manual. But who has the manual at hand when he is shooting?

There is a full display where Fuji could tell the user how to unlock. In the menu you may find many items that are greyed and you cannot select them. In this case you have to remember which other feature has to switched on or off to make the one that is grey available. This has become worse with FW 4.0.

 

The software should allow me to select the feature and then tell me what other feature I have to disable or enable first. In the same category comes to my opinion that the T1 tells you for about one second after power on that there is no memory card. At this time I typically do not look neither at the EVF nor at the display. So I will notice it only when I try to look at the images that I just shot. BTW my E1 shows the message for about three seconds which makes it much more likely that I see it. I would prefer that I have to acknowledge the warning with OK or what ever to proceed.

 

As much as I love my E1 and T1 but there are quite a few things in the usability that are annoying.
