If your camera is an X-T20 then the auto-focus switch is on the front lower right (when looking at the front of the camera) and the shutter dial via the top plate while the aperture controls depend on the lens attached but usually via the lens ring.

You may wish to download my free booklet from the Apple store "Fujifilm X-T20 Tips" which explains in a slightly different way to the manual how these controls work.

Hello Rixy,

I just aquired a XT20 and would like to download your free booklet. Unfortunately I am not an Apple user.

Is there an other way to it? Something like a .pdf file perhaps?

I will be pleased with your reply.

Kind regards

Emilio

Its unfortunate, Emilio that you don't have an Apple device as the Apple books version has Hyperlinks built in to the script allowing you to jump back and forth through the book to associated topics. This forum only allows file sizes of 0.98 MB as attachments and the pdf file for version 2, as yet unpublished at 24 double pages, is over 38 MBs so I do not know how to help you.

I recently deleted my Dropbox account as I found that I wasn't using it, as I sent large files directly with Apple Mail Drop This is done via email without having to post the file to the cloud and then sending a link; however this requires an email address.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By thelostkiwi · Posted

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      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.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.

      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.
