    Fuji X aperture ring

    Not even manual focus on the FX 14 mm f/2.8 R, with the clutch? You engage manual focus by sliding the focus ring rearward, which reveals a distance scale that you can read against classic DOF markings for different apertures. I have this lens, and just tried turning the focus ring with the lens not mounted on the camera. Looking into the rear of the lens, I see something shifting in re the aperture stop as seen through the glass. Not sure but I think this lens design might be a dozen years old. Sliding the focus ring forward disables it and makes the lens autofocus.

    I'm not disagreeing, I'm just curious. I have wondered what's going on in there. 

    You may be right - its not a lens I've used - I was hoping someone would chime in and correct me if I was making too broad a statement

    Joystick lock

    in Fuji X100VI / X100 / X100S / X100T / X100F / X100V / Fuji X70

    Which camera? If its recent such as X100VI then:

    If you want to actually disable the joystick then go here in the menu:

    Setup => Button/Dial Setting => Lock => Function Selection

    Look for "Focus Stick" and click on it (Page 3 on the X100VI)

    You can then toggle the lock on and off by long pressing the Menu/OK button

    Fuji-MacOS bug limiting how many files in a card folder

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Not sure about the X-T5 but the X-H2S appears to have a real fix (rather than just avoiding the problem by limiting the images per folder) - I’ve had more than 4096 files in a single folder that have been accessible by MacOS using a card reader.

    it shouldn’t take too long to run a test with the X-T5 using the fastest continuous burst rate with preshot turned on and shooting the smallest possible jpeg.

    Hello.

    If I shot in "Velvia", but decide later that "Provia" would have been better, why can't the camera switch the "Velvia" setting to "Provia" in the RAW file? It is just a setting within the RAW file. Overwriting the original parameters is easier for me because I don't have to bother with additional files on a computer. Just let me save those parameters. The image won't be altered, just the parameters used later by the converter to generate the image. For me that would make sense. I don't want to lose my time because I have to boot a computer where some software is running. It could be done within seconds in the camera.

    Its a little more than just the metadata - there is also a 13MP jpg stored in the RAF file - if the RAF file was to be updated I'd probably prefer another copy.

    I am primarily a JPG shooter, but store RAW's in parallel just for the case when I need them.

    In camera conversion is interesting and as I don't use RAW converters or studios, it is interesting for me to tweak individual images. I was used to do so on my X-E1 and X-T1. It was cumbersome but working. I was very confident that more features would be available on the X-T5 but NO.

    The in-camera RAW conversion would be perfect for me if Fuji would implement the following features (but they didn't do so in the last 10 years, so these upgrades will probably never come):

    The generated JPG should have the same filename as the original image + a numbered addition to the original filename. If my original file is DSCF3005.RAF/JPG and if in the evening, after a day of shooting I tweak that image in the camera, I want that one to be named DSCF3005-2.JPG, or DSCF3005-A.JPG. It is absolute nonsense to name that image DSCF3356.JPG, just because it was generated after the last shot DSCF3357.RAF/JPG. In my file archive, on the computer I can then keep or just delete the original JPG. As it is now, I have a complete chaos when generating JPG's on the camera.

    There is no possibility of a batch conversion ... . Why isn't it possible to define settings, and then to let the camera do the conversion on a selection of files? Or why can't I select predefined settings when I am in a conversion menu? If I want to change the parameters of 6 photos, I have to make all the settings 6-times inside the converter.

    And there is no possibility to save the changes in the original RAF-file. WHY? I can revert to the original parameters, when playing in the converter but I cannot save the changed parameters. Complete nonsense. And we are in 2024 ... .

    Again, some missing features. 

     

    Have you tried using the Fujifilm X Raw Studio software on a computer? You can still use the camera for the actual conversion and it would solve most of your problems in naming and batch conversion.
