CatsAreGods reacted to jerryy in Remote shutter release use
I must have came in very late to this thread and obviously missed something.
http://fujifilm-dsc.com/en-int/manual/x-s10/about_this_camera/parts/
This clearly shows where to attach a remote release cable and explains how to adapt the standard Fujifilm remote release cable to work with the X-S10.

CatsAreGods reacted to skipcooney in Fuji X: Tips & Tricks
Here is a feature that caused me some grief. If you select Auto for Dynamic Range, the LCD and EVF will no longer display shutter speed and aperture except when the shutter button is pressed halfway. It took me a while to figure out why shutter speed and aperture were missing from the display.

CatsAreGods reacted to Greybeard in Dual Iso
Its a bit of a pain - I did it for the X-T30 - Bill's contact details are on his web site - if you email him he'll explain the process.

CatsAreGods got a reaction from mrPeter in Dual Iso
This has been a very interesting thread. I never heard of Dual ISO and almost thought it was an in-joke (like "blinker fluid" for cars). To return the favor, I found this awesome video that explains the details, but you will need at least 2 or 3 cups of coffee to keep up:

The X-S10 sensor is very close to the one in the X-T4, so keep an eye out for any X-T4 results and your X-S10 should be very close. This site publishes listings for various camera bodies, hut has not yet been updated for either of those two:

CatsAreGods reacted to jerryy in Dual Iso
It would already have it most likely. That is not really a direct user setting, just something the internal software switches on or off depending on what the user set iso, shutter speed, ev comp, aperture, etc are doing. The X-T3 switches at ISO 800.
Fujifilm sensors tend to be ISO invariant so that also plays into when the switch is made.

CatsAreGods got a reaction from jerryy in alternative lenses for nature photography?
I have the iconic 70-210 f4 "beercan" telephoto (I saw a lens today by either Sigma or Tokina with the same specs and wondered if it's a copy) and a 500 Tamron f8 mirror lens, both used with a Maxxum and then a Sony S58 (I also have a Tokina 11-16 for the Sony, this works even better on the Fujifilm because I don't really have to focus it). I generally keep the aperture setting on the adapters somewhere in the middle unless I really need it wide open.

Which ones are you using? I have a 200mm parfocal which gives good images though it is a bit heavy.
edit: it is a Minolta MD 75 - 200mm f4.5 parfocal lens. I have it “glued” to a Fotasy MD-FX (manual of course) adapter.

CatsAreGods got a reaction from jerryy in alternative lenses for nature photography?
Yep. I use focus peaking on reverse adapters and two Minolta-era long lenses with mine, works great!

I do not have a X-S10, so I cannot say one way or the other. But, ..., focus peaking works with my manual focusing Rokinon lenses on my X-T30.

CatsAreGods reacted to Olaf W. in Film Simulations are Worthless
Just use JPEG plus RAW to get the simulation plus the „real scene“. You can even develop different simulations in the camera from a RAW.

CatsAreGods reacted to davidkrol in Fuji x-S10 and Fujifilm X Webcam
I found a workaround to get it to show up as a webcam in Powerpoint. I installed Manycam and it now shows up as a webcam in Powerpoint with the Fujifilm X Webcam software installed, as well. The only issues is that Manycam comes with a watermark for the free version. I will test it and if it works well, I may purchase a license. In any case, Manycam seems to work like a link to other software that doesn't recognise the Fuji as a webcam. It now even works on the camera app in Windows.

Thank you very much, I'll use these links to refine my searches, truly appreciated.

I did find one, although it comes from China so you're probably best off using the description to find something similar closer to you.

CatsAreGods got a reaction from Simon Kimpton in Wired shutter release adapter
Your comment intrigued me enough that I did some research. Based on the information at http://www.doc-diy.net/photo/remote_pinout/ most Fujifilm cameras use the same "remote protocol" as most Canons (and some Olympus and Pentax). So I wired up a 3.5mm plug the same way and it worked! So all you should need is a cheapish ($10 to $12 on Amazon, like this https://www.amazon.com/Kiwifotos-RS-80N3-Control-Shutter-Connection/dp/B071XPW655/) Canon remote and the plug adapter.
Someone on another thread somewhere said "if you look for Canon Rebel you'll be good".

CatsAreGods reacted to mintumohan in Getting a 2.5mm microphone cable
I brought my X-T100 as a bundle offer with tripod, cleaning kit and Boya microphone. But the dealer supplied only a mic with a 3.5mm cable. I was searching for a cable or adaptor to change the 3.5mm to 2.5mm to fit the camera. But these adaptors and cables are very costly. Finally I found that there is a cable available which has one end 2.5mm and other end 3.5mm male connectors. As my mic has a 3.5 female connector input it was working and much cheap. Actually the cable is for a bose headphones. Click the link for the cable Amazon.com 3.5mm to 2.5mm Aux Cable Cord or you can search for "Bose oe2 replacement cable" on any search engine. Remember to buy the one without remote or mic unit which uses a TRRS connector that may not work with the camera.

CatsAreGods reacted to Max78 in Fuji Birds
Hello everyone! I am so happy to have found this forum which is sharing the beautiful passion for bird photography.
As an introduction: I am an amateur photographer, I have purchased my first Fujifilm this year (an XT-200) after over 11 years shooting with a compact Canon (G11). Since I live in Panama, and I love wildlife, I got more and more into bird watching and bird photographs, since I can find dozen of beautiful and colorful species in my backyard (besides many other wild animals).
I have just bought a 2nd hand XC 50-200 lens, which seems to do a great job for my needs (see the keel-billed toucan here below), I have been shooting only during daytime, and mostly to birds in a standstill (i.e. not flying) with different light condition, and pretty much always in manual mode (M) with the following settings:
ISO set to AUTO2 (ISO base 200; ISO limit 1600) Photometry: Multi Shutter type: MS Focus mode: AF-S AF mode: zone SS: I play around between 500 and 1000 F: I try to keep it as low as possible, but I don't play too much with this I am a bit overwhelmed with the amount of setting and option and still in the learning process of the new camera and the brand Fuji.
Now the question part: I have been trying to use S (shutter priority AE) mode and got completely confused. I have been trying to move across a big range of SS in good light, and F sets at 4.5 automatically but it is nearly always RED. I cannot get any decent photo in this mode. I am not very familiar in shooting in A mode either. But I would gladly hear from any of you who can provide suggestion on how to better take advantage of semi-automated mode(s).
Have fun!

CatsAreGods reacted to jerryy in Fuji Birds
Nice shots!
Your camera is telling you that for your chosen shutter speed and ISO limit, it needs a faster f-stop to get what its algorithms determine are needed for a good exposure. Widen the ISO range, or go fully manual for every setting. Or use a lens with a faster aperture.
