Hello All, I have had my X-T5 since February and have been very happy with it. I have ensured that the camera's firmware has been updated as well as the lens. I have been in photography for 20 years and used Sony, Lumix and Olympus cameras. I made the switch to Fuji early this year. I typically shoot in Aperture priority and am finding that the exposure of my final image is usually two stops or more lower than I originally see in the electronic viewfinder or LCD display. For example, I was taking a picture of a cityscape and had to set the exposure compensation to -1 in order to reduce highlight blowout in the scene. The image looked fine when reviewed in the viewfinder. However, when I imported into Lightroom, the RAW image was at least 3 stops darker. As I started to look at all of my files where I used an exposure compensation, I realized that I had to "fix" the exposure. If exposure compensation is not used, I don't seem to have any issues. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

IS switch on the X-T5? Where please?

Advice needed. I bought the FujiFilm X-T5 and now know why the X series has such a great following. I have shot images on Olympus and Lumix micro four thirds for 10 years and love the system. However, I wanted to move to the APS-C world for a bit better noise and DR. Unfortunately, ALL of my pictures are not as tack sharp as my m43 images or X-T5 images I see from others. I am shooting with IS continuous, AF-S mode, center weighted exposure, F5.6 with a Fujinon 18mm F1.4 lens which I was told is very sharp!!! I also have the Fujinon 23mm F2 prime as well. on some pictures, I also see a magenta noise bar across the image. I believe that I may have a lemon. Thoughts….
