Nice info. Thanks much!

The only think I can think of is to check that you're truly are in manual mode.

Say, what converters are you using to use old lenses?

If you've tried other batteries and the camera is still doing the same thing, it's probably not a battery issue; something else, electronically, is not cooperating anymore! You may need to get it serviced or even try cleaning the terminals.

If you're talking about the regular incandescent bulb symbol, that should works. Also, from Ken Rockwell's site: Tungsten (symbol of a light bulb also called "indoor"): Very, very blue most of the time except indoors at night, for which it looks normal. "Tungsten" is the name of the metal out of which the bulb's filament is made. Even indoors many people prefer the warmer AUTO setting. TRICK: Set -1 or -2 exposure compensation and use this setting in daylight to simulate night!

I see. Good to know. I couldn't seem to find any albums of any members (other than the main album). That's what was throwing me. Alright, then, thanks a lot.

Say, if someone gets a chance, could you please pop over to http://www.fuji-x-forum.com/topic/5550-how-to-upload-images/?view=getnewpost (in the Misc category under the Fuji X Forum section). I'm not sure which album I'm to upload images, and I don't know that the thread I started to get some help for this is very visible. Thanks.

Thanks, stay.

Been out practicing wide tracking at the park. In that I missed what you said about wide-tracking AF-C --that it allows you to "initially" set the focus point -- I was back in masochistic mode until I reread the post. Yeah, Doug, I can certainly see how getting a feel for wide tracking will have it's benefits. I'll be practicing that a bit more as I go along. Too, the info you've given me here, and in your DPReview article has really helped (that is, when I've paid attention!). Thanks for taking the time to post here as intricately as you have. As I remember it, there wasn't near the learning curve with my D3200 as there has been with this mirrorless, but it's well worth it. For Post, I used to use Lightroom, but I'm not spending $120 a year for it, so I bought PSE 15...another learning curve! But this x-T10 is definitely fun and great for street photography, which is my passion. We'll, thanks again.

Hey all, While looking at the Gallery and thinking about uploading a few images, I was presented with the option of either creating an album or using the existing Members album. I'm not sure which to choose. I couldn't find other albums while in the Gallery, and that added more confusion. Which should I choose? Thanks much, Starkman

Oddly enough, Doug, most of the reviews I've read on the X-T10 weren't to thrilled about wide tracking; that and the subpar video. But I guess you do what you have to do. As to zone for tracking, yeah, I saw that problem right away. I stay away from zone for the most part anyway, unless everything I want in focus in the zone is at the same focal distance from the camera. Otherwise it's a crap shot. And good article, too. I don't know that I'll be able to remember the wide-tracking use of CDAF / PDAF since I will seldom use wide tracking. I am, however, going to give wide tracking a try. It definitely sounds useful in that you can choose the focus point. That's a plus, for sure. Take care.

Thanks guys. Well, as to the use of AF-C with the X-T10 being masochistic, hek, I've only sliced both wrists twice and attempted to hang myself once. Not bad, considering! As expected, using just the shutter button locks in the exposure (on AF-C); hence, as you said, Doug, back-button focusing is better here. My problem was that even using back-button focus I couldn't get the AF-C to work but only once in a while. And then I figured out why. I wasn't just trying to track things, I was also trying to move the camera from it's initial focused area to another area to see how the focusing would react. The camera wouldn't respond most of the time, which, okay, I get it: "Hey, give me something to track or shoot in single focus, idiot!" Got it. But even when I try tracking, it's a bit of a task (part of that masochistic stuff you mentioned, Doug). It works, but it is definitely limited: single-point focus, for instance, seems much more comfortable either tracking object that are coming somewhat more so in or away from my direction, or objects moving fairly slowly. Understanding this now, I can see what I'm in for, and that's fine. I'll deal with it: I'll buy an X-T20 and then carry the X-T10 along just so it gets more and more jealous as time goes on. Let's get sadistic! Hey, thanks again, all. I appreciate the input. This camera is a bit of a change from my Nikon D3200, but it's a cool little camera.

Thanks, dfaye

Hey all. Still getting familiar with my X-T10. The issue now is when I try to use continuous Focus mode (pressing and holding the shutter button half way), I can't do so without locking in the exposure, which isn't something I want; the exposure, obviously can change as the subject moves. Not sure if this can be gotten around. Thanks.

Oh,one last question: in that I don't use manual mode that often, will turning off the feature save some battery?

Ah, I see. Thanks for the input, folks.

Hey all, Not sure here, with my X-T10, what exactly the Preview Exposure in Manual Mode setting does. I mean, if I have the camera in full auto and shoot, I see the exposure both in the EVF and the screen whether the Preview Exposure setting is on or off. I do know that it needs to be off when using a flash, but I don't understand its use otherwise. Thanks much, Starkman

Thanks, Doug.

Hey, thanks much. I appreciate the input.

Thanks for the input. So do any of you ever adjust the DR? If not, what do you leave it at? As it stands I will probably be shooting more RAW as time goes on, and I'm just not sure how the DR option for the Fuji play out. Thanks

Hey all, I'm shooting a Fuji X-T10, and I'm interested in a few camera settings. First, with regard to dynamic range, highlight and shadow tone settings within the camera, I take it the RAW file will disregard these settings (I'm using Photoshop Elements 15 to post process both JPEG and RAW)? Second, after doing a bit of research on using dynamic range settings, I'm still a bit unsure as to which seems to be the preferred setting. Some folks are using Auto all the way around, others are leaving it at 100, and in one video, featuring Bill Fortney (a Fuji shooter), Bill has his ISO at 6400 and his dynamic range at 400 -- he was shooting inside a somewhat dark church. As it stands, I have my ISO set to Auto with a max of 800, and dynamic range at 100. My first question, then, is how are you using dynamic range? Again, I assume RAW would throw this information out, so I'm figuring JPEGs are the interest here. And my last question is, do any of you ever adjust highlight and shadow tones within the camera (again, the RAW / JPEG thing!)? Thanks very much, Starkman

Ah, nevermind me! Wasn't paying attention and...well...I'm good now. Thanks much.

Additionally (continuing the theme in my post above), switching AF Mode To Multi and setting Photometry to Spot creates multiple AF points; shouldn't Spot overrule, eliminating all but one focus point? Here again, are the two settings incompatible? Thanks again, Starkman

Hey all, Say, on my X-T10, I use Spot (under Photometry) a lot instead of Multi, and I pair Spot with AF Mode in Single Point. But if I switch Photometry to, say, Multi -- leaving AF Mode in Single Point -- there's obviously no multi focus point system kicking in. So, do the two (Multi and Spot) not really not work together? I don't care much for using Multi (Photometry) and Zone (AF Mode) because I prefer more precision in my choice of subject focus; however, I am interested to know if the above situation I've posted has any effect behind the scenes (since I see no change). Thanks much, Starkman

I built my own system, and it's a good system, but no card reader came on the box. Further, didn't have to worry about this with my Nikon D3200, if I recall correctly. Either way, I got a card reader - $18.89 at Walmart, which was a wrong price; the online price is half that! Three trips to Walmart today...hip, hip...hurrah! Thanks again.
