  1. Its the same for all Fuji X series cameras - its annoying. On the X-T series if you are in Program Exposure mode you can set one of the command dials to S.S. (Program Shift) and rotate the dial to up the shutter speed - then it should stay as a minimum - not sure if this works for your camera. Not ideal but maybe better than nothing.
  2. Does it happen with both compressed and uncompressed files? I wonder if ON1 has a problem with compressed files?
  3. Yes it includes both MS and ES - and to make it worse - on recent cameras it includes images taken with pre-shot that might not even get written to the card - its not a good guide as to the life of the mechanical shutter. FujiFilm doesn't call it Image Count - they don't call it anything at all as they don't document their EXIF fields - the Exiftool developer - Phil Harvey - came up with that name.
  4. I’m a big fan of Exiftool and have used it extensively. It has one (smallish) problem with Shutter Count (or Image Count as Exiftool calls it) - it only uses part of the field and will roll over when it gets to 32K - whereas the actual field used by FujiFilm is capable of holding 64K (and then rolls over back to the start)
  5. Yes you need to look at a file straight out of the camera and you need an Exif Viewer that shows the Fujifilm specific fields. Most of these fields (including the shutter count) are not documented by Fujifilm and not displayed by viewers that only show basic EXIF. Unless you are going to actually parse up the binary file you are going to trust a viewer of some sort. If you want to look at the raw exif data without uploading your file to a remote web site you can use this: Fujifilm Exif Viewer If you click on the plus sign top left you can load an image file into your browser (jpg or raw). The default view shows you the image and interpreted metadata - but if you right click and choose the EXIF option it shows you the entire list of EXIF tags - including Fujifilm specific - and the raw data without decoding. Scroll down and look at tag 1438 which is the field normally interpreted as shutter (or image) count.
  6. I've thought about this - and wondered if the weather proofing of the lens made any difference to moisture (or anything else) getting into the camera at the mount. I don't see any difference on either the camera or lens side between weatherproofed or non-weatherproofed lenses or cameras.
  7. Works fine on my Mac Mini - I did notice that the latest version is a requirement for Big Sur
  8. I use DPR reviews for RAW file samples
  9. The first thing to do would be to increase the maximum ISO - try 3200 or 6400 - especially indoors - you might find noise is still acceptable at those settings - better than blurred images (the other alternative is to increase the light!)
  10. Looks like plenty of room to me - the 100-400 tapers towards the mount: https://camerasize.com/compact/#864.620,864.853,864.513,ha,t
  11. Are you trying to change the value of the existing settings or change which functions form part of the Q menu?
  12. When using a cable make sure that USB mode is et correctly in your set up menu: http://fujifilm-dsc.com/en-int/manual/x-t200/menu_setup/connection_setting/index.html#usb_mode
  13. I have the X-T3 - doesn't operate like that at all - first shutter button movement focusses immediately
  14. Have the camera ready in shooting mode (musn't be set to video as that is a separate Q menu). Long press the Q menu button until the menu comes up in edit mode. Use the joystick to position the cursor over each item you want to change and press the joystick (you will see the menu of Q menu items and be able to scroll and change to the one you want) When you have the Q menu looking the way you want use the Disp Back button to return to shooting mode. The Q menu should now be changed.
  15. Never seen this happen - next time try accessing the card as though it was a file system (using whatever the Mac file explorer program is) - if the camera can see them then they must be there
  16. Yes - you are restricted to 4:2:0 internally (and can't shoot at 400Mbps)
  17. That information is in the EXIF data - you can try this viewer - make sure to click on a RAF or JPG file straight out of the camera - some software (such as Lightroom or maybe ON1) deletes the Fuji specific metadata: Fujifilm EXIF Viewer
  18. I was just in the middle of replying to your first post to point out that it isn't quite that simple with Fuji - even if you use AF-ON you still need to choose a focus mode. You can use AF-M in combination with AF-ON - as long as you keep your finger on the AF-ON button it will keep focussing and stop when you take it off (provided you have chosen AF-C for instant AF mode) - but its not the same as using AF-C.
  19. I am currently using Lightroom to process raw files from the X-S10. I'm not sure Fuji jpegs are dramatically different from other jpegs - you obviously have less scope for changes compared to raw files and its more important to get things right the first time. You could look at the Dynamic Range and D Range Priority settings in the IQ menu to help avoid blowing our highlights in jpegs.
  20. Yes you can - here is the manual section that describes the functions that can be assigned to buttons: http://fujifilm-dsc.com/en/manual/x-s10/shortcuts/function_buttons/
  21. "In my Nikon the menu returns to where ever I was last." I believe the FujiFilm rules go as follows: - if you have MyMenu items it always goes to the first of these - if you don't have MyMenu items then it goes to the first item in the IQ menu when you first turn the camera on - once the camera is turned on (and there are no MyMenu items) it goes back to the last item selected so long as that item is not in the SetUp menus; in that case it goes it goes back to the first item in the IQ menu All seems perfectly logical

  23. My X-T3 works fine with that version - your image shows X-T30
  24. I hadn't realised it had been added with a firmware update - but I just checked and it arrived with firmware version 2.0. There is a more recent pdf version of the manual online which includes this function. It actually implies that the update allowed you to prevent shooting without a card: "Addition of "Shoot Without Card" mode With the update, you can have the “Shoot Without Card” mode turned OFF so that the camera cannot shoot when there is no SD card inserted."
  25. It allows you to shoot without any card at all. I guess their thinking is that if you have chosen to shoot raw plus jpeg then you obviously need both cards. If you want to take a card out you could switch to sequential.
