    XtJerry got a reaction from fugu82 in Deleting photos on XT-2   
    A quick format method that I have seen listed several places.  It works great for me.
     
    I only format with the trash button.  I do not delete an image or group of images.
     
    With camera turned on, hold trash button down for  3 sec. or so.  While continuing to hold down trash button, press the rear command dial  (the wheel at the upper right of the back).  The screen will ask you to choose slot 1 or slot 2.  Follow commands to delete all of the images on the card in that slot.   You must do the process twice, each time choosing the slot with the card you with to format.   Remember this process, by reformatting the card, deletes ALL images on that card.
     
    Saves menu diving to clean and format cards.
     
     
    With regard to uploading.  I use a card reader.  I download my images for the day and often continue to use the card the next few days, downloading only my new images for each day, usually to a separate folder in my main images folder.  I use 32 GB files which often last me two or three days when I am seriously shooting. \\
     
    I shoot only RAW so my slot 2 is a backup.  When I have essentially filled the 32 GB card, i retire it and use another card to finish my trip, event or whatever.  The second slot contains a 256 GB for backup and this card is good to backup at least eight 32 GB cards.  At the end of the trip or event, when I get home I download my images via card reader from my 32 GB cards to my computer and to my backup external drive.  At that point I reformat, using the technique listed above for both all of the 32 GB cards used and the 256 GB back card.
     
    I carry sixteen 32 GB cards and two 256 GB cards.  I have yet to run out of space even on a four week trip.
     
    Maybe more than you all want to know, but perhaps this is a help or idea trigger for someone.

    XtJerry got a reaction from kolbphoto in I think the joystick is kinda worthless   
    One more vote in favor of the joy stick.  I rarely photograph people so a few seconds to focus is not a problem.  The joy stick frees up the multi-selector to do other things for me.  
     
    One disclaimer:  I use manual focus with "red high peak" almost as much as I use autofocus.

    XtJerry got a reaction from Mike G in ISO Lo setting   
    I just checked ISO "L" at both RAW + Fine and RAW alone.  I get 200 at ISO 200 and 100 at ISO L.

    XtJerry got a reaction from CRAusmus in Maximum Shuttter Speed Safe to use Image Stabilization   
    Thanks all. 
     
    Rico,  I have been using the "Nikon 1/500"  rule to turn off OIS since  Nikon is where  I come from.  Do you tend to be sure that it is off at slower shutter speeds than 1/500?  Being 82 my hands aren't the steadiest anymore.
     
    I also leave it on in unusual circumstances on tripod. When I do leave it on on tripod, I usually back up with some shots on and some off just in case.  However, so far I can't tell which is which. 
     
    CRAusmus - no apology needed.  We are all at various levels of information re: different aspects of photography and i appreciated your honest effort to be helpful.  You actually had hit on my concern by implying that at a certain shutter speed it wouldn't help.  I was looking for that certain shutter speed.

    XtJerry got a reaction from jeremyclarke in FW 4.0 & reprogrammable video button   
    I asked a Fuji tech rep last week about the Video Button on the X-T1 and he tells me that it is hard wired differently than the X-T10 and, therefore, can not be reprogrammed to be a function button as on the X-T10
