    jabell got a reaction from Curiojo in Available :: Fuji X-E2 Firmware 4.00!   
    I actually have the custom function button set up, it's just a pain to use it sometimes!

    Don't worry, your X-E2 behaves correct. To make things clear:
     
    1. Selected X-E2 View mode simultaneously applies to both "Shooting operations" and "Preview image". When you set EVF Only for shooting you can not preview images on LCD.
     
    2. X-T1 View mode can be individually chosen for "Shooting operations" or "Preview image". You can use EVF Only for shooting and preview images on LCD.
     
    X-E2 HINT: You can assign "EVF/LCD MODE" to any Fn button, and quickly switch to required View Mode by pressing it few times.

    jabell reacted to Warwick in X-PRO 2 ......a little disappointed but still going with it!   
    I'm not sure that the XPro2 is ideal for the kind of photography that involves shooting in high-speed burst mode at the same time as zooming in and out. It's more a 'considered photography' sort of camera than a 'spray and pray' one: you see the picture, you frame it, you capture it. The optical viewfinder in particular makes it most suitable for prime lenses between 18mm and 56mm

    I've been shooting raw (like that frizzy hair guy on YouTube) for a long time now.  Nikon, Olympus, Sony, Panasonic, an older Fuji (X-Pro1 and X100S) and maybe another brand I forgot ;-)...but I've always been shooting raw since I discovered editing in Lightroom (version 1).  I've always been more happy with raw since it was much easier to adjust white balance, push/pull shadows/highlights and various other reasons.  Mostly for flexibility and highest image quality.  
     
    Well, after about a year and a half with the X-T1, I think I'm finally going to shoot JPG only (except for rare occasions).  Why?  I just can't replicate (in Lightroom) the great color and tones I get straight from the camera.  I've tried for awhile now to tweak the Adobe provided camera profiles to my liking, but they always seem to have too much contrast and the color just isn't quite the same.  
     
    Adjusting white balance in Lightroom?  The X-T1 has the most accurate auto white balance I've seen from a camera.  I previously gave that nod to the Olympus E-M1.  So, adjusting white balance for my Fuji files isn't as important anymore.  
     
    Recovering highlights or lifting shadows in Lightroom?  That's not as important anymore either because I've editing the in-camera settings to my liking so that I don't have really harsh shadows or highlights.  I can tweak a little here and there as I see fit for the JPG files in Lightroom.  
     
    I went outside around my yard and garden and snapped some examples over the last day or two.  I'm very pleased with the images straight from the camera and with a few mild edits in Lightroom.  These are all from the 56mm and 18-135mm.  Some people badmouth the 18-135 being just an average lens at best, but I think it's excellent.
