  1. What a PITA. The exposure compensation dial didn't get reset to 0 so I've got a bunch of under exposed frames. Sum beach! Gaffer tape seems to be the solution but I sure wish Fuji had made the zero detent stiffer and the EC +/- flag larger in the EVF screen. Razzle-fratzing camera! And, oh yeah, one of the tripod socket screws has gone AWOL. Pizz, moan. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
  2. I did the firmware upgrade on my XPRO2 last week. Then the same on my zooms. This morning I tried my 18mm f/2. First result was the "Turn the camera off and back on" error message.
  3. That's good to know! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
  4. So far nothing amiss with my uodate. I have noticed, over the last 2 uodates, that some of the menu choices have a "different font" look to them. The characters appear thinner, maybe they are normal instead of in a bolded font. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
  5. I was looking for an image on my laptop yesterday and opened a RAF folder. Widows 10 immediately started processing the files to icons and I walked off wishing I could find a way to turn that off. Came back after 10 minutes, possibly less, to find all rendered into thumbnails and I could run them thru silky pixels to get 4x6s, wife wanted samples, on a wireless printer (Kodak Verite) pretty damm good for a casual attempt. All the control seem to be there, just in unusual places. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
  6. Prepping for a trip to Chicago (home town) I just did the update. Looks like it worked. But am surprised that _the_ "copyright" symbol does not seem to be there. Huh. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
  7. Very nice. They look at little flat on my cellphone. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
  8. I have always suspected that cats are hams at heart! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
  9. Nice pixs. Lots of sedementery rocks, folding and uplifts. At a guess, Arizona? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
  10. If you are truly concerned with longivity then save your files as tiffs along side the RAFs. You can also freeze the file attribute for jpegs. Probably should, as far as that goes. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

  12. So. What's the verdict? This is the single comment pro or con on the firmware I've seen. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
  13. I have an Xpro2 and 3 lenses. The 16-55 zoom, the 18 f2, and the 55-200 zoom. The 18 when I going ultra light, the 16-55 80% of the time and the 55-200 if I need to have a tele. If I need anything more elaborate I've still got Nikon gear. The advice to try a Flickr is worth pursuing.
  14. I've come from Nikon to Xpro2 and the transition has been ... interesting. Bonn has some good insights thanks for the link!
  15. Is the printer dye sub or inkjet? If ink is it dye or pigment? If it's a dye/inkjet the prints might last 10 years, stored properly.
  16. PITA for certain. Please let us know if you find a solution or "the" answer.
  17. Don't jpegs compress by "averaging" shadow values first then highlights? If so this would obscure the effect you are looking for since you are judging by jpeg quality. I dislike the Dynamic Range adjustment I get with my Nikons and am coming to be dissapointed with what I'm getting from my XPRO2 now. OK, I'm picky☺.
  18. As I have said in the past, oh dear. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
  19. From Kluge R Us? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
  20. Have that in my Nikons. I'll haven't done the (Jan/Feb) XPRO2 firmware update yet so can't say if it's there, or not. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
  21. Yes! to being incognito. It's always seemed to me that the ideal would be to re-purpose an ordinary bag so it wouldn't look like camera equipment. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
  22. Thanks, I'll be working on a set tonite and give that a whirl. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
  23. I keep my XPRO2 set to Auto Dynamic Range and since I'm seeing DR200 displayed it should be functioning. But mostly I'm seeing highlight (still) blown and inky shadows. Am I mis-understanding DR usage? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
