  1. Are you using the latest firmware? Might be the back button focusing. Your issue might be related to some issues i found on the latest firmware: -Using back button focus the following happens: .in af-c wide/tracking, the camera starts tracking another thing after a single shot, or at the end of a burst; .in af-c wide/tracking, with face/eye detect, sometimes the viewfinder lags on the end of a burst. Possibly this also happens using zone focus, haven´t tested. Also, when using any of the zone areas, with auto or center zone area switching, the camera has a tendency to never focus on the center point.
  2. All my Fuji X bodies were sealed. Not on the box, but on the plastic wrapping the camera there is a "holographic" sticker that once removed can´t be put back on and pass as if nobody removed it before.
  3. You don´t have to go to the menu. You just have to go there once to set what get´s changed when you, for example, change aperture. In this case that would be shutter or iso. Yes, like you said, i could simply change whichever of the 2 i want. This seems like it isn´t that a big deal, but in certain situations with my 5D3 i´ve found this very helpfull. Lets say i suddenly want to have a bigger dof and i don´t want to count how many clicks i moved the aperture ring so i can move the shutter speed an equal amount to maintain the exposure. Call me lazy, but in the heat of the moment this saves me valuable time.
  4. Got my issue sorted out, although i don´t know how. Metering is working as it should now. Btw, tested the different metering modes and noticed that the evf brightness changes slightly as you switch modes.
  5. Maybe i´m missing something, but i cannot get the photometer to give me a reading in the following situation - manual mode/ exposure preview off/ picture effect off/ - sure, the photometer gives me a reading (let´s say -2ev) but it´s not representative of my iso/aperture/shutter settings, even if i change any of these the photometer stays at -2ev... Any tips? And here´s some wishes on future firmware updates (been used to these on my 5D3 with Magic Lantern): - raw histogram - raw zebras - in manual mode, exposure compensation through iso - "locked exposure" in manual mode (mind you, not Av or Tv): let´s say you´re at iso 400, f4 and 1/2000s, and you want to just change the aperture but maintain the same exposure, or you want to change shutter speed and keep the same exposure, same for iso - you change any of these and the camera automatically adjusts one of the other two settings (which one of them will be adjusted is defined by you on the menus).
