What @Olaf W. said. The U.S. retailers such as BHPhoto, Adorama, etc. have listings of what is supposed to be in the box, and they do list the wall socket adapters. As Olaf mentions, contact Amazon, it could just be a mistake of some sort.

Last day of autumn 2025. Autumn is gradual. Summer field crops slowly ripening. Cool, longer nights turn into morning fogs. Color (colour) touches here and there taking the place of flowers now resting until Spring. Then, after that slow introduction, Fall is everywhere. Winter is brash, Winter is not at all subtle. Freezing cold days and colder nights. The Sun struggles to get above the horizon. Bare fields, iced over streams and woe (‘Woe!! I say!’) to trees or shrubs holding onto leaves. But there is sledding, skiing and hot chocolate for those that like those things 😀.

Winter is coming.

A fungus in the forest. (p.s. Open Topic.)

Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

Typically you need to make sure the lens is compatible with the camera, i.e. check the lens compatibility charts for your camera, then make sure the respective firmwares are updated so older issues are resolved. After that, each lens has a manufacturer’s profile which will be embedded into the raw file meta data for the images captured using that lens. From there, it is up to the raw conversion software to apply the lens correction to the image. Different converters do that differently, some automatically, some only if a setting is turned on. For in-camera jpegs, the on-board converter does the corrections automatically, assuming the camera recognizes the lens, it applies a generic profile otherwise. I do not know if that can be turned off or not.

Back on page three of this thread is an image and mention of those mythological and astronomical twins, Castor and Pollux. They are back for your viewing pleasure in the night sky with Jupiter joining them, an added bonus this year. At least for those stargazing in the Northern Hemisphere anyway. For right now, you will need to wait until late at night, Very Late. or Very Early in the morning if your clock works that way. A little after midnight. Look a little to the left of Orion and there these three will be forming an arc. Procyon is along for the arc ride... As long as the clouds are not too much, the arc is visible even in cloudy, light polluted skies like the one shown here. This is the equivalent of a just almost but not quite ten minutes stars exposure with a five seconds clouds exposure.

This review may be able to answer some questions: https://www.dpreview.com/news/3492623346/fujifilm-xf-18-120mm-f4-lm-pz-wr-lens-is-parfocal-weather-sealed-and-will-cost-just-899 The review seems oriented toward using the lens for video work. Note: If you are working outside of Europe, keep 1/60 in mind as a shutter speed. The line frequency is often 60 hz rather than 50hz.

Welcome to the forum. Usually in the screen setup part, there is a setting called “Preview exp../wb in manual mode”, try turning this off. It may also be called “Exposure Preview“, it still needs to be off. Some folks additionally also turn on Natural Live View, but as always, you mileage may vary. I cannot help you with your second question, sorry about that, perhaps someone down the road can? p.s. turn it back on when not using the flash, or set a function button to toggle it on/off.
