Greetings. I am knew to the Fuji world and thought I had this answered in another forum a while ago (was told that's the way it is) but now I am getting conflicting info from Fuji users. I am not complaining, just trying to understand as I love this camera which I will use as my second carry around and travel camera. 😀
My DSLR Liveview or non-fuji mirrorless cameras always give a true LCD or EV exposure preview of what type of image your exposure settings would generate. A true advantage of mirrorless.
But no matter what menu settings I choose I only get this on my new X-T30 in either priority (not manual) mode: In aperture or shutter priority mode the preview always look good......even if your chosen shutter/F-stop/ISO settings do not generate an actual image even close to the preview. I don't mean off a little......You can be looking at a gorgeous pre-shot preview and get an extremely over or under exposed image. Now obviously these settings would be way off....and an experienced shooter would not do this on purpose. But who doesn't take a quick shot now and then? In aperture or shutter priority, you get no meter chart, just exposure comp, so if you can't trust the preview you are flying blind. Ironically exposure comp makes the preview brighter and darker but starting from the false perfect preview. It has nothing to do with exposure comp. from the settings you chose or the actual image. Manual mode with the exact same settings shows a valid preview of the image and of course a metering chart.
I cannot believe this is really the only option for all Fuji cameras. Some say it is a "Fuji way thing". Other excellent and knowledgeable Fuji shooters do not seem to have this issue.
So what setting or combination of menu settings do I have wrong? I cannot believe this is a "feature". Or is it only certain Fuji cameras?
Thanks,
