    CatsAreGods reacted to Greybeard in Huge file size disparity between card reader vs cam transfer   
    This is about a limit of 4GB (binary GB) in transferring using the cable - as you have noted the workaround is to use a card reader.
    Its not clear if this is a FujiFilm issue or an Apple issue - or both.
    FujiFilm could do a better job of making this well known as it just happens without any error message and it isn't obvious it has happened until you try and run the chopped file (or look at the size).

    CatsAreGods reacted to brianco in Cusom settings issue   
    I think you are saying you want to switch between custom settings and change that display setting (as opposed to a setting that affects the recorded image). As far as I know, the display settings persist across all dial positions (PASMC..). The strategy I use is to assign custom settings to modes of using the camera, i.e. landscape, portrait, street, etc. if there are different things I like to do in those modes, I decide where to put modifiers, like face detection, film simulation, etc. You have 3 more choices:  button, the Q menu, My Menu. If you need it instantly (face detection on/off, subject detection) I put it on a button. If I like to be able to see the state because  I change it often, I put it in the Q menu. I only use 8 and it's the things I change the most. MyMenu is where I put the next level of things I change, including most things I change from default so I can verify they are set correctly. 
    tl;dr; Put it on a button if you change it frequently, or MyMenu.

    One thing I would recommend is to set up C1-C7 using X Raw Studio on a computer - especially if you are going to create long names - much easier with a full size keyboard

    CatsAreGods reacted to andrei89 in Fujifilm X-S10 Changes Focus When Adjusting Aperture   
    such a drastic shift in focus could only be an adapter issue IMO...check if your adapter has the latest firmware otherwise raise the problem to viltrox. you could check with a fuji lens just for confirmation, but i highly suspect it's an adapter issue

    CatsAreGods got a reaction from Dimitrisot in Fujicell NP-W126 in a X-S10   
    After reading some horror stories of batteries swelling up after being charged in the camera (and they couldn't be removed), I bought a set of two Neewer NP-W126 batteries with a double charger from Amazon. Didn't notice the "S" was missing from the end, but since the original battery didn't last all that long, I figured 3 batteries would be better than one.
    It turned out fine. I do a lot of wildlife shooting and one battery will definitely not last all day. The original battery lasts longer than the Neewers, but not so much that the difference is worth the extra expense. The charger will run off a USB-C or micro USB cable so it's compatible with almost anything and it will work in the field if necessary.
    Note: I never shoot 4K video, but if I did I would probably use stock batteries or an external USB-C power bank.

    CatsAreGods reacted to Greybeard in Fujicell NP-W126 in a X-S10   
    The NP-W126S batteries replaced the original NP-W126 about 5 years - supposedly they manage heat better - especially useful for 4K video.
    I use an external charger but it's probably more habit than anything else. After taking photos I remove the card and the battery. Stick the battery in a charger and the card in a card reader.

    CatsAreGods reacted to Robnl in Whirring sound when X-S10 is on, is this normal?   
    It really depends on how loud it is. If it's quiet, I'm pretty sure this is normal. I can hear mine making a faint whirring sound (kind of like a fan) when I am right up against the camera, but not when further back. I've seen this mentioned about the x-t4 as well when I was initially doing research deciding on a camera. The best explanation I saw was you cannot truly turn ibis off, when disabled the magnets have to hold the ibis in place to prevent it from moving, as a result the ibis system is still energized to some degree.

    August's full moon goes by a lot of names, including the Sturgeon Moon, the Green Corn Moon, the Raksha Bandhan Moon, Nikini Soya, and the end of the Esala Perahera festival.
    It is called the Sturgeon moon because during this time of the year, there is supposed to be lots of sturgeons out swimming around. Here is a link to some more information:

    CatsAreGods got a reaction from jerryy in X100V: Great reviews yet used market appears crowded...?   
    I agree, and I think it's due to too many people who buy stuff they see on YouTube videos (or wherever) without doing enough -- or any -- research on what they're buying.
    It seems to be a great camera; just make sure a street retro camera is what you want. Or think of it as an inexpensive Leica, but you can't afford any other lenses for it anyway 😺

    CatsAreGods reacted to Dimitrisot in Manual Focus on the X-S10 for video   
    Hello Andrew.
    To set video options as you like, you have to turn the main button(Auto, M, S, A, P etc) to VIDEO. Then you set the options you like from menu (Manual focus) and for starting capturing video as the settings you have done, you push the Shutter release button, not the red one.
    I think that will solve your problem.

    CatsAreGods reacted to jerryy in How to store my Raw files from camera to PC wired?   
    Perhaps the codec for Fujifilm .RAF (X-S10) was not updated. Try this:
    https://fujifilm-x.com/global/support/download/software/raw-file-converter-ex-powered-by-silkypix/
    Install this one from Fujifilm, it should have all of the up to date codecs.It is free, plus, you get a decent raw converter program.

    I should have explained. If I remember correctly, you enter the new file name you want (I found this fiddly) at the select folder stage. It isn't created till you take the next photo, which will store in it. After that you can select either folder.

    CatsAreGods reacted to SimonW in New to Fuji   
    Rick,
    I only just found this thread and can see all your questions have been answered. I too came to the XS10 recently after using Pentax SLRs since 1969, and of course Pentax DSLRs later. Really just welcoming you here. I set my XS10 similar to yourself except I do prefer the lens aperture ring. I still can't get used to having to switch the camera on before focusing and zooming, when with DSLR I very often did that first, before deciding whether the shot would be worth taking. That habit probably came from starting with film SLRs.
    I tried both XT4 and XS10 before buying and much preferred the latter's handling, my only concern being its lack of weather sealing, because that was always a Pentax feature I found I could trust.
     
    Cheers, Simon

    CatsAreGods reacted to lightpainter in 90mm f2 + Raynox 250 = True 1:1 macro   
    Sorry, but this is a terribly wrong myth. Each lens is designed for optimal convergence of light at a specific flange distance (register distance). At this distance maximum resolution (and minimum aberrations) is achieved. Some lenses are more prone to aberrations/degradation when this optimal distance is going to be altered, some are more tolerant. The more tolerant ones are those that are most suitable for being used with bellows or extension tubes.
     
    One of the best macro lenses ever made, the Leica Apo-Macro-Elmarit-R 100mm f2.8, is relatively prone to flange distance changes, and Leica does not recommend using it with any extension! Same goes with the Fujifilm XF 60mm f2.4 Macro. I had/have both and can confirm that from experience. The Leica performs much better with Leica’s Apo 2x teleconverter than with any extension (the converter doubles the reproduction ratio as it retains minimum focus distance). The Fujifilm XF 60 I tried with the Fujifilm extension tubes – and gave up.
     
    As for the main topic here, the XF 90 with Raynox 250 is a surprisingly nice performing combo indeed.
