Old range finder focusing system on X Pro

[9uhr12]

Hey everyone,

I bought a used x pro 2 a couple weeks ago and i instantly fall in love with it. Before i bought it, i do some research for it's brilliant hybrid viewfinder and I thought the focusing system for the manual mode is like the old rangefinder camera (with 2 split images). I know that i can change between peak and split image mode but these only works on the EVF or the LCD not the on the OVF. The question is, can i change the focusing mode for the OVF too? Thanks guys!

The "Digital Split Image" focus assist (as implemented on fuji's cameras) requires a display, so in pure OVF it is not possible to use it. However, on the x-pro2 you can also add a little display in the lower right corner of the viewfinder: set it to "ERF mode" : http://fujifilm-dsc.com/en/manual/x-pro2/first_step/monitor/index.html#viewfinder_selector

You should then be able to have the split image on the little EVF, with the rest of the viewfinder still in optical.

Push the lever on the front towards the lens and you will get a small EVF patch in the OVF. You can have the EVF focusing aides there.
