Auto Mode with Manual Focus?

[allatonceallthetime]

Is there such a thing?  Wondering if it's possible to have the camera choose shutter & aperture, but not focus automatically?

May be a really dumb question, sorry if that's the case

Thanks!

Yes - exposure and focus are separate. You can have auto exposure with manual focus and also manual exposure with auto focus.

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 This forum only allows file sizes of 0.98 MB as attachments and the pdf file for version 2, as yet unpublished at 24 double pages, is over 38 MBs so I do not know how to help you.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.
