All Activity

sunset to the left, same day I shot the lighthouse above

still playing with filters, lighthouse in Cape Henlopen State Park, Delaware.

snapping turtle or great white? my wife saw this driving down the road and I shot it for fun.

Hmmm ... The custom profile files created and stored by XRawStudio look pretty similar. The whole structure of the files is exactly the same at least for X-H1, X-T4 and a X-H2 related (so, 3 generations). Just the values for camera and serial# are (certainly) different. And features/values that do not exist for an older camera generation are left empty there. That's all. E.g. if I take a custom profile file created with XRawStudio for the X-H2, and I copy it to the X-T4 folder and just edit the camera and serial# information with a simple text editor ... this manually adjusted X-H2 custom profile perfectly works with the X-T4 inside XRawStudio. As the underlying data structure seems to be very much the same and data are considering camera differences already, it cannot be rocket science to allow XRawStudio to manage custom profiles across cameras, even across camera generations.

I had this same problem with my manual focus lens. I couldn't enable focus peaking. I thought it was a problem with the lens, and was about to give up on the lens. Then I switched the setting on my XT5 from back button focus, which I always use, to focus with the shutter button. And lo and behold, the focus peaking worked! I have no idea why that should make a difference, but it did. So maybe that is the problem that others are facing. Anyway, it's worth a try!

As noted above, if you are shooting jpg, some processing options cause longer processing and write times. Using any Clarity setting apart from zero is know to be a major culprit.

Some of the post processing options cause this. Clarity, noise reduction etc. check all are off. Also check to see if you've bumped it into HDR mode on the drive selector.

Could it be that you have noise reduction turned on?

Hello everyone! I recently picked up a new X-T30ii, and I noticed that after I take any photo, the LED indicator will blink green-orange for 10 seconds. During this time, I can view the last photo I took, but I cannot scroll through the rest of the photos, delete any photos, or change any other menu settings (e.g. switch film simulations, etc.). During this time, I also cannot turn successfully turn the camera off; when I flip the OFF switch, and the LED indicator turns solid orange but the screen doesn't turn off for another several seconds. Is this system latency normal? Did I accidentally change some setting without knowing it? I don't have the clarity setting changed, Bluetooth is off, I've tried with multiple SD cards that are freshly formatted. Any suggestions?

I appreciate your excitement and enthusiasm and hope you have you have a wonderful and safe journey there and while there and then back home again. But slow down a bit and think about it some more. A XF200 mm f2 lens (which includes a 1.4 tc) is going for around US$ 5000. That one would be good for many settings there but … for considerably less money you can get fantastic zoom lenses giving far more photography options and put the leftover money into a big stack of memory cards, batteries and chargers, etc. and have cash leftover to tip your travel guides and enjoy the local cuisines. Landscapes with animals include things like elephant herds among the Baobab trees, cheetahs watching antelopes on the savanna, etc. I often use a 150-600mm for various projects. I can easily handhold it and get sharp steady shots, but after a while it goes back on the tripod to finish up. IBIS, etc. does not work well at longer focal lengths, so plan on being able to work when you are tired. That type of outdoor activity wears your lens holding arm.

Thanks for the reply. I have everything else I need, camera, computer and lens wise. I am not a landscape photographer, so it will be mostly animals on safari. I will be shooting people as well, but I have what I need for that. Budget is not a concern, as most of the money is going into the trip, making the cost of an additional lens or so irrelevant. Looking forward to hearing from everyone!

You are probably going to need to add in some more information before anyone can begin to help you. Information such as 'how much budget are you using to purchase lens equipment and does that include all of the other camera related gear you will also need', 'what kind of tours are you intending to take part in -- strictly herd animals or more isolated opportunistic critter viewing', 'are you going for landscapes with animals or animal portraits', etc.

For some reason, Fujifilm limits the electronic shutter to 1 second exposures in bulb mode. If you want longer electronic shutter exposures, switch the shutter speed to t mode and set longer times. p.s. Welcome to the forum.

Thank you so much for your reply Bert. On Friday I went back to my Fuji dealer to try and see what they had to say about it all. This time around they told me that they would try some of their contacts regarding the issue and try to ascertain what the problem actually is. I will, of course, try to keep you updated on anything I hear from them - although they warned me that it might take awhile. I agree that the issue isn't actually that serious. However, for me the two main issues are, as you mentioned, switching between evf and ovf is near impossible and program buttons are almost always locked. Secondly, parallax correction in the ovf also suffers significantly. FYI mine also only jumps about when set to infinity. Mine did get better for a few days as well, but now it's back to where it started. I hope your dealer is of use - please let me know (as I'm sure you will) if it turns out to be a lens issue

Hi, I still have the issue, and I am waiting for low season to hand in the lens at the dealer. I can be mistaken but I am of the impression that it became a little bit better. In the beginning it steadily went from infinity to 0. Today it makes half of the time small jumps between infinity and 5m. this would not bother me if the ability to switch between Evf and ovf was not hindered by this. Now it is very difficult to intuitively and quickly switch as the camera does not allow to switch when it thinks I am focusing the lens. lets keep eachother up to speed on this, as it is helpful to get info from people with the same issue. greetings Bert

Great that you figured it out yourself!

Thank you very much, sorry for the late reply!

Looks like I’ve solved my own problem. I had set the shutter type to electronic (ES) but it seems that it won’t then do ‘bulb’. Went back to mechanical and it seems to work fine. I was trying to eliminate any disturbance of the camera to avoid any vibration while taking the image.

I want to use my T2 coupled to a telescope. Setting B exposure time just gives me a 1s exposure. I hold the shutter down and get 1 second, then the shutter closes despite the shutter still being pressed. I want to do as the manual suggests it should work and have the shutter open all the time the shutter is pressed. Any thoughts are welcomed.

I shoot with an XH2S, and I love it. However, should Fuji release a 40mpixel camera in 2025 with really good autofocus, I would probably jump for it as well. (don't want to discuss the benefits of the existing cameras available). My question is: I am headed to Africa for a Photo Safari in the Fall of 2025. Wondering which lens people recommend. I will be shooting from the back of a Jeep at various times of the day. People who have shot in this type of situation with moving animals, what lens did you use/recommend? There are a few to choose from. Please share your thoughts!

Some pics have this green pattern on it mostly when adjusting shadows. Not sure if it's the camera's sensor or a setting I messed up or the lens perhaps?

SOLVED ! The camera is working perfectly with my original coupler snugly sitting in the power grip and running through the regular USB plug. Just like you suggested. The fact that my X-T1 was powering down the whole time, when directly connected to the dummy battery, must have been because the connection was insecure as I couldn't't close ****** door. All good- thanks again !
