Yes, but this difference works out to be minor also because the battery capacities are indeed different, but not humongously so. I use the older charger to charge the newer batteries without any problems. What you have to watch out for is voltage differences, these can destroy your equipment by causing overheating or outright zapping it.

I believe @BobJ has the answer to help you, turn off touch screen focusing and use the joystick to move the focus area. This is the actual page that tells you how to do that: https://fujifilm-dsc.com/en/manual/x-t3/about_this_camera/touch/index.html#touch_shooting Touch shooting is useful when you need to hold the camera well away from you, when your hands are not able to easily work the controls, but otherwise it can get in the way.

Hercules Cluster M13 (84 minute equivalent exposure). From a dark place, you can see this one in the northern sky just by looking up. Of course, having more than 100,000 stars in the cluster helps brighten it up a bit. https://www.messier-objects.com/messier-13-hercules-globular-cluster/ https://earthsky.org/clusters-nebulae-galaxies/m13-finest-globular-cluster-in-northern-skies/ https://science.nasa.gov/m13-great-globular-cluster-hercules edit: Back in 1974, radio messages were sent out into space. The ‘Arecibo Message’ was sent toward M13. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arecibo_message

I am guessing you do not have another lens? Can you rent or borrow one from your local camera store?

Are you up for some coding? I came across this awhile back over on DPReview; 1.) https://github.com/darktable-org/rawspeed/blob/f383f62eda0d22f53ea1b09c42348d63b5c915ac/src/librawspeed/decoders/RafDecoder.cpp 2.) https://github.com/darktable-org/rawspeed/blob/f383f62eda0d22f53ea1b09c42348d63b5c915ac/src/librawspeed/decompressors/FujiDecompressor.cpp From the thread: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4559433 Also, I have not tried this since I do not use compressed raw files, but DarkTable itself has as an export option: raw to go along with the usual tiff, png, jpg and lots of the other flotsam and jetsam. DarkTable does import many of the Fujifilm compressed raw files. The raw export option is supposed to export a copy of the unedited raw files (with no editing changes). I wonder if it can be tricked into exporting an uncompressed version of the file. If so, batch mode would knock out a lot of files at a sitting.

Part of it is sequential, part of it is alpha-numeric: https://fujifilm-x.com/en-us/exposure-center/understanding-file-numbers-and-folders/ I do not have a X-T2, so I cannot answer your question, but as I recall you have various backup options you set for the two slots that affect what happens. Someone over in the X-T2 forum should be able to help you.

Which camera body are you referring to? Most of them have a menu option to create new folders and choose between folders for storing images. This is for the X-T4, but it works the same for many other bodies: https://fujifilm-dsc.com/en-int/manual/x-t4/menu_setup/save_data_set-up/index.html

For what it is worth, a L-bracket can lift the body up enough to let you use many of the 'wide' lens with those older tripod heads. Ones built for the X-Tmn line let you get to the battery/card and side connectors without hassles. The ones for the X-T10 work on the X-T20 and the X-T30 as well, they are pretty much interchangeable. Or switch to basic Arca-Swiss plated ball heads. These can be svelte enough for just about all lenses. And work with L-brackets. The 1/4-20 thread is an industry standard, so if your old head unscrews from the legs, you can put the new head on non-proprietary legs.

More contrails to come ...

I believe @Greybeard has it: https://fujifilm-dsc.com/en-int/manual/x-t2/taking_photo/shooting_mode/index.html I missed that you were wanting to use the shift rather than just change the aperture. Flashes also affect the option.

When you set the camera to P mode, it takes over setting the shutter speed, f-stop, etc. and blithely ignores any suggestions or requests made by the photographer, regardless how much the photographer implores it to do things differently. Try using A mode to set the f-stop the way you want, the camera will choose the appropriate shutter speed, etc.

New and Improved Answer! As intimated earlier, now with images! X-T30 ready for the change. Remove the L-Bracket and the battery. Grab the tab and slide it out. And up. Insert the CP-W126 DC coupler. Close the battery cover and it is ready to go. When you are finished using it, reverse the process.

Grab it between your finger and thumb, pull it out and up. It slides out. I am not really in a good spot to show you photos, (maybe later ???) but it is fairly easy to do. Do NOT use a lot of force. Once you are finished using it, it slides back in place. edit: p.s. If you are using a L-Bracket, you may need to remove it, so that the battery door will close with the dc coupler inserted, the cable is very close to the edge and can smush up against the bracket.

Rent one for a full week and try it in various situations. Depending on which software you currently use to process your images, there is a good likelihood it already is able to handle the Fujifilm RAF (raw — similar to NEF) files so that you can see how much latitude you have. Or, you can download one of Fujifilm’s raw file convertors, for free, and use that to lightly edit the files and export them as TIFF files for further editing in your software or as JPEG files for ready to go images. Various third party editors do have support for the Fujifilm simulations and of course, the Fujifilm software lets you apply the simulations to the raw files. As far as changing crop sizes go, what is on the screen is what you get whether it is a full frame with a 1.4 teleconverter attached to the lens, or a APC camera. If you really, really lean back towards the full frame, remember Fujifilm also makes very well liked medium format cameras, though they are larger than the X-T4.

How many images does it take if you use f9 with step size 4? Cool shot!

Did you try changing these settings?: https://fujifilm-dsc.com/en-int/manual/x-t30-2/about_this_camera/display/index.html#standard_display Essentially, you add / remove the items you want to see / do not want to see for the displays as well as setting which display you want to use.
