    David Fleetwood reacted to DaveC in X-S10 auto ISO restricted to 1/500 sec   
    Minimum shutter speed seems to be limited to 1/500 sec when setting auto iso. For bird photography I would like to use 1/1000 sec.
    Is 1/500 sec the limit for the X-S10?
    Appreciate it if any one knows.

    Coming from the M50 I was used to having a lot of online guidance for how to choose accessories for my camera choice depending on what my intended usage was.  I've had to feel it out as I go with the X-S10, which does not have quite the widespread coverage the M50 had.  I was noticing a lot of requests for items in this forum, often for simple functionality such as cable releases, eyecups and the like and thought it might be useful to start a thread sharing a few basic details about how we use our cameras, what we found worked well, what did not work out/was a waste of money, and links to where to find them.  Hopefully this is helpful to others.
    Use: Photos only, no video
    Type: Portrait, candid, street, protest & landscape
    Eyecup: Tekiac Eyecup for X-S10 (a necessity in my opinion, good quality, does not interfere with the screen and looks good) Bag: Tenba Messenger 8 (for when I'm going out with a couple extra lenses/filters/etc.) Holster: Think Tank Photo Digital Holster 10 v2.0 (for when I'm going out with a single lens, usually protest or street) Plate: Smallrig L bracket 3086 (I use this with the portrait mode removed unless I plan to use a tripod) Filters: H&Y RevoRing VND+CPL (not available yet, got in on the Kickstarter, works well but isn't as tight to some lenses as I'd prefer) Strap: Peak Design Slide Lite w/Fujifilm X Logo (this comes in and out of stock) Tripod: Manfrotto Befree Advanced (goes on sale on Amazon every so often, very nice and easy to set up, generic Neewer Arca-Swiss plate works with the Smallrig fine) Pouch: Tenba Reload Battery 2 (this attaches to the back of the bag, I keep two spare batteries in there for easy access) One note: I am patient on what I buy, am willing to buy used, and usually have a price in mind when I add to a watch list/wish list. 
    Any must have accessories for photos that I've missed here? Any alternatives to this setup that make more sense? What are you all carrying?

    i also switched from a mirrorless canon to the x-s10, but from the M5
    bags...too many bags...i never have the perfect bag...2 shoulder bags, 1 sling, 3 backpacks...
    i also use a peak design leash for whenever i need to throw the camera over my shoulder, otherwise i attach a pd cuff
    recently got a national geographic carbon tripod which seems really well made and goes up to 1.8m and it was only 100€
    what is waiting in my basket on amazon is a set of 2 patona batteries, a nitecore dual charger and an L plate similar to the smallrig one but for half the price
     
    the camera is quite new to the market and a different form factor from the regular fuji style of bodies so it makes sense that there aren't that many dedicated accessories yet, but this will change

    Glad someone could do it. I got the instructions but it was beyond my frustration level

    You may wish to check again, Apple just added OS support for the X-S10 and several other cameras.

    Thank you, this is what I was looking for and it seems to be about right. I don't know why they don't draw more amps from USB-C, possibly heat considerations I guess but I tested last night and in 1080p30 it ran from 9PM until 9AM and still had one bar left.  Presumably 4k would have cut that time somewhat.  So it seems your conclusion is correct that it draws just under 1A and thus can't run completely off USB.  I have no idea why that is, honestly, seems like an odd design decision.
     
    Best performance for battery was the Anker PowerPort III which I use normally with my laptop, it's 60W and clearly can deliver a lot more than the X-S10 can utilize. It did max it out and was better than the generic and Apple USB-C chargers I used even though both are rated above what the draw you measured receive. Not sure why Anker did better, but it was significant.

    Thank you for this!  Will have to decide if I care enough to go the dummy battery route, but thanks to others I have a couple options for that too.

    Ah, if that's what you're up to, you're in luck because I just did measurements for someone else on this exact topic:
    For this kind of nonsense you need both a regular ammeter and a USB ammeter, as well as a 8.4V high current power supply...luckily I did!

    Thank you very much @CatsAreGods& @flamidey!  I'm also experimenting a bit and I realized that with a higher amperage USB-C power adapter my battery life appears to go down far less quickly. I'm putting an actual USB-C laptop charger on it and tomorrow will see how long it lasts on that. It appears to me that it draws from USB-C first, and if that is not enough power it pulls the extra from the battery. The question is if it supports a high enough amperage via USB-C to not pull from the battery at all.
     
    Hopefully I will know tomorrow. Adding those two dummy batteries to my wishlist however in case I need them.  Thanks again for the replies!

    I use the Fotga NP-W126 battery coupler and it fits perfectly with a very stable connection.

    This Andycine is the one I used for a custom battery solution (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07SB5TM4G?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details). I just cut off the connector and kept the adapter Once you figure out which way to insert it (and triple check the polarity) and it works, take a picture of the battery in the compartment with your phone and keep it handy so you won't screw something up.
