    Q Settings Help

    in Fuji X-T4

    Posted

    Bit pointless having a custom setting if you can't set it to your specific needs.

    Really dissapointed, especially having just bought the camera.

    Petrhaps, hopefully a firmware update will sort it.

    Q Settings Help

    in Fuji X-T4

    Whatever image quality I save on any custom setting and then save it , all custom settings show the same image quality.

    I can't seem to have one set to Raw and others saved to Fine.

    Q Settings Help

    Please Help I'm having trouble setting up the Q settings. pictures show what I've got C settings set to.

    Problem is when I activate either setting, the image setting changes.

    Please bear with me.

    Base C1/C1 set to default Raw/F. Don't understand the two settings.

    C2 set to Fine Jpeg. Sometimes shows as Base C2

    C3 set to Fine Monochrome

    When I acces the Q button to choose C2 or C3 it becomes Raw/F, and C1 becomes Fine.

    The same if I set C1 to just Raw

    Or all will show Raw/F or Fine

    Or if I set C2/C3 to Fine, C1 Becomes Fine.

    I make sure that I save each setting under edit/save custom setting, but it doesn't make any difference. I still have to change the setting, It's driving me nuts.

    Hope all this makes sence to someone.

    Monochrome Setup

    in Fuji X-T4

    HEEEELPP

    On my TX4 I have monochrome setup in one of the custom settings (C3). For some reason whenever in jpeg I take a photo I get a slow shutter speed (40th sec). Whatever I change my Aperature, iso,exposure to, it's still a slow shutter speed. Is there a setting in the main menu that is preventing my mono setup. I set up with aperature priority mode.

    I have the Arthur Cam book, and it wasn't worth bothering with. It's big, but mostly because the type is large and the layout has a lot of open space. Seems to me it's mostly a rehash of the supplied manual.

    A way, way better guide is "The complete guide to Fujifilm's X-T4" by Tony Phillips. This thing is absolutely loaded, it has a lot of thought put into it that builds on the supplied manual, and it has a lot that isn't in the manual. The paper version I got on Amazon came with access to a digital version, too, which is nice because you can search it. Really, this is the best guide I've ever seen for ANY camera.

    I have the Arthur Cam book, and I agree It's not woth bothering about. It didn't cost me anything so I should'nt complain.

    The Tony Phillips book sound interesting, if I can get the papaerback version at a reasonable price.

    Not sure about the E-Book version.

    Maybe the 18-55 would suit you better than the 16-80 - its much smaller, lighter and less intrusive

    I've been thinking of getting the 18-55 just for street, the only problem is it's not WR.

    There's also the Sigma 18-50, which I beleive is shower proof.

    Maybe you could check the EXIF of your images from the 16-80 and find out which focal length you used the most

    My focal lengths are mainly between 20-40.

    I have at the moment the XF16-80mmF4 R OIS WR lens. I’m looking to add another one or two, for street photography and possibly landscape. I’ve been using the 16-80 for street, but I’m finding it a bit intrusive and heavy. Not yet sure what it’s like for landscapes, I think it will be ok.

    With my previous lens setup with Pentax I had five zoom lenses ranging from 10mm to 300mm plus a 90mm macro lens.
    I don’t want as a wide range again as I found half of them were never used. I know that primes are the go to lenses for street, but which one, 23,35,50 or something in between. I have tried just setting my 16-80 to just 23 or 35, but I find myself zooming in and out all the time. I don’t really want to be carrying too many around with me.

    Preferably WR 

    Your thoughts will be most helpful.

    Operators Manual

    Hi All

    I’m interested to know what Operators Manual/Reference Book you use.

    I have the supplied manual that came with the XT-4. I’m looking for something that’s more informative and easier to follow. I’ve seen this Fujifilm X-T4 Companion: A Guide to Mastering Your Camera by Arthur Cam. Wandered what your thoughts are.

    Hi All

    I had been with Pentax for a number of years, but I've recently moved from to Fujifilm.

    My kit comprises of a TX-4 plus 16-80 lens, which I've only had for couple of weeks. I really like the the way it feels and the ease of using it, still trying to set it up. I will eventially expand my lens setup, I've only ever used zooms not had any primes, but I am thinking getting a 23m or 35mm, especially for street photography.

    I'm from Cambridgeshire in the U.K. My photographic interests are mainly lanscapes, anything querky, urban and derelict scenes. At The moment I'm having a go at street photography, which I'm finding very interesting and challanging.

    I hope to gain more experience with my camera, and hopefully pick up plenty of tips from you all.

    While with Pentax I was very fortunate to have had my photo Garden Bistro used by Pentax U.K. to advertise it's DSLR range which I am very proud of.
