    Maybe the 18-55 would suit you better than the 16-80 - its much smaller, lighter and less intrusive

    Greybeard got a reaction from Blue Zurich in Quiet sound from the body.   
    Is the sound coming from the camera or the lens? Does the lens have OIS?
    The most likely thing is that you have pre AF turned on and its trying to focus all the time.
    You can tell by turning off both IS (in the shooting menu or switch on lens) and Pre AF (in the AF menu) and see if the noise goes away.
    Then turn back on IS and Pre AF one at a time and see when the noise starts.

    That's a good point too.  Maybe I'm putting too much thought into it and should just use the quality camera on my iPhone 14 pro-max?

    Greybeard reacted to jerryy in Which camera to buy?!?!?!?   
    The only real concern with the X-T3 is how much “used” it is, unless you have managed to locate a new one (these are in short supply these days).
    You have @Greybeard speaking up for the X-S line, so I will speak up for the X-T line. 😇
    They are fun! You have all those easy to use dials (no need to mess around with that SPAM dial and menus stuff).
    The best camera is the one you take with you and use.
    If you can, try these in your local shop or rent them for a few days and see which one suits you. Processing software for stills and video is easy to find, so test the hardware.

    You probably have AF+MF set to on which overrides Focus Priority

    Greybeard got a reaction from Janne Alavahtola in Question of using Fringer NF/FX adapter on X-H2S.   
    Morris certainly shows how well the Fringer adapter works with Nikon lenses (especially for bird photography). I regularly use the Canon version with the Canon EF 200/2.8 lens as there is nothing similar in the Fujifilm range - it also works well.

    Greybeard got a reaction from BucieroCandina in Fujifilm Geotagging / Bluetooth. Will it be reliable?   
    It works better with Android - Fujifilm just don't seem very good at developing software for Apple devices - hopefully they have had lots of feedback and will make improvements

    I agree with Jerryy - although AF Mode can be selected with a function button which speeds it up just a bit

    The technical specs for each camera show the minimum ISO for each DR setting - here is an example for the X-S10

    Look for the "Dynamic range setting" section

    Greybeard got a reaction from Skells in X-T5 - Lossless Compressed RAWs in Capture One   
    I'm not really a Capture One user but have tried Capture One Express for Fujifilm - compressed raws work OK - as far as performance goes its swings and roundabouts - files are smaller but need more CPU for decompression - I doubt there is much difference in performance.
    You could always try downloading a few raw files from the review sites and give it a try.

    Greybeard got a reaction from G_N in X-T5 Settings, Custom Functions & Other Beginner's Questions   
    1) The subject detection options will attempt to detect the shape of the subject (such as bird) - it doesn't matter what the bird is doing - although it finds it easier if there is good light and it can see an obvious bird head or eye.
    It will fallback to your AF Mode if it doesn't detect the subject.
    You can't select a Photometry option when Subject Detection is set.
    2) Some of these are switches (like Subject Detection) which applies the action immediately and some take you to menu (like AF Mode)
    3) I tend to leave OIS on in Shooting Only mode all the time but some think you should turn it off for high shutter speeds

    Greybeard got a reaction from wwnomads in Fuji X Raw Studio Software   
    That looks as though the raw image is corrupted - have you tried converting it using some other software? If you don't have anything else you could try the free FujiFilm raw conversion software and see if you get the same effect?
    If the file is OK and its just X Raw Studio maybe try a different cable - does it happen every time you try the same file?
    If you get the same with other software maybe its a card problem? Have you had the same problem with different cards?

    Greybeard got a reaction from jlmphotos in Fuji 100s & the new xApp   
    After lengthy discussion on a different forum it seems there may be issues if you want to geocode images and you use an Apple device.
    Whichever phone you have its necessary to first connect phone and camera via bluetooth (and turn on the geocoding and location sync settings in the camera).
    Apple devices will continue to send updated locations to the camera while the phone app is in the foreground OR the camera remains active. When the app goes into the background and the camera sleeps or is turned off and on it won't reconnect.
    Android devices will reconnect phone and camera even if the app is in the background.
    Only an issue if you are interested in using the app for geocoding.
    (The requirement for "always on" even if you are not geocoding seems like lazy programming but I doubt it has a really serious affect on the battery.)

    Ah I see - did you get the "Waiting for Connected" message on the back of the camera when the app tried to join the Wi-Fi network?
    As a last resort you might try backing up all your settings and then doing a complete reset of everything.

    At what point does it hang? Wi-fi needs to connect successfully in order for you take take photos in live view.
    If you have taken photos using live view do you see the "Download" and "Camera" icons at the top of the screen?
    Do you see the image you just took when you touch the download icon?
    If so do you get the "Transfer the selected Image" button after you select the image you just took?
    If so - and you press the image is that the point it hangs?

    When you say "everything works" does that include the ability to use live view and take photos? What happens after you have taken a photo using live view? You switch to image transfer  (at the top of the screen - the download icon) and see the image you have just taken - select the image and "Transfer the selected image" button should appear - do you see that? Does the button not transfer the image?
    Or where exactly is the problem? And what error message do you get (if any)?

    There is a 4GB limit when a Mac computer is attached to a FujiFilm camera by cable - not sure if its an Apple problem or a FujiFilm problem - same doesn't apply when files are transferred by card reader.

    Greybeard got a reaction from man-overboard in Scathing Review of Fuji X-H2s   
    Yes - I didn't mention build quality - I don't have an X-H1 to compare but I certainly have no complaints about the X-H2S. Its rock solid and all buttons and dials work exactly as they should - no unnecessary play. It gives every impression it will continue working for years. I haven't yet had need to test the weather sealing but everything fits well together - and in fact the removal of the AF mode switch and dial press switches are only going to improve the overall weather resistance.
    As for murkiness - I just haven't seen it - perhaps someone will post some examples so I know what to look out for (and situations where the murkiness will appear)
