Introduce Yourself


Recommended Posts

Greetings!  gnuhapi is my alias and I'm an analog dinosaur, beginning to learn and get happy with digital.  My first camera was a Kodak Brownie and from there I progressed through Aires, Canon, Leica, Yashica, Nikon and a few experimental stints with Hasselblad, Speed Graphic and a custom 16x20 graphic arts camera which I built into my darkroom wall.  I did some photojournalism, advertising racetrack, wedding and evidence photography during several other careers which fed me.  Retirement and subsequent travel brought on the sale of my surviving Nikons and the purchase of a nondescript digital, a couple of Canons and a doomed-to-failure Nikon 1V2.

When the Nikon's lens failed, and my Canon G-11 would not fit the bill for a scheduled trip to Turin this April, I bought an X-Pro2.  Naturally, the normal 35mm lens wouldn't suffice, so along came the 18-135.  When the trip was cancelled due to the pandemic, and I was locked down at home in Spain, I amused myself shopping on Amazon.  Along came an EX-3 with a 27mm, a 23mm and ultimately the X100V and too many peripherals to admit to.

My photography is eclectic but heavy on a preference for Black & White and documentary shots.  I also do many reference photos as I paint as well.  I'm enthused to find this forum and looking forward to learning and communicating.

Hi, I’m a long time amateur photographer from the south of England. I’ve recently bought my first FujiFilm camera, a X-H1 and a couple of lenses. My previous digital cameras have been Canon and Pentax.  I’ve always liked the look of Fuji stuff but never got round to buying a camera from them until recently. The X-H1 ticked all the boxes for an upgrade and the price was very affordable. I’m really enjoying using my new Fuji stuff and am really liking the colours and quality of the pictures I’m getting from the X-H1.

Hi all. I'm a recent Fuji convert from Olympus, and have so far got myself a X-H1, XF18-55, XF55-200 and a Samyang 12mm. Next purchase will be a 100-400 then stop spending!!

I mostly do landscapes with a bit of wildlife thrown in, but don't really photograph people!

Hi all

 

I’m a micro four thirds convert. Just sold all my m43 gear and purchased the x-t4 with 16-80mm. My first Fuji setup. I can honestly say, it was the best decision I have made. Had been considering it for years and don’t know why I waited so long. 
 

I’m absolutely blown away by the results I’m getting straight out the camera

New Fuji user here but I've been a full time photographer for the last 15 years.   Just picked up the X-T4 and a couple f/2 crons.  Really happy with the system so far but I really enjoy mounting vintage glass to the body. The results are stunning.

Not Exactly new, but Don't think I introduced my self.  Must have missed this thread.

I'm Aaron.  I love doing both 4K video, and Photography.  I did have a X-T4, but returned it.  There were some money issues.  And some other things.  But will replace it shortly.  I strongly believe that who we are as creators, shows the world who we are.  Here is who I am:

Wonderful camera. For a very good explanation of all the dials, buttons and possible settings, have a look at David Greengo at Creative Live.

Hi everybody. I am a long time amateur photographer based in the North of England. My interests are in landscape and portraiture. Most of my photography has been done here and in the west of Ireland. I have the X-Pro2 and a range of fixed and telephoto lenses together with the X-100F and X-100V and love the cameras. Having for many years done film photography using Olympus OM cameras, I feel very much at home with Fujifilm's film simulations - no manufacturer gets near their gorgeous renditions. Now four years in with Fujifilm after using Pentax as my first digital experience.

Hi everybody. I'm from Milan, Italy and pretty new to the photo world in general. I have the XT3 still with the kit lens 18-55 and the XH1 mostly used with 50-140 2.8. For the moment I'm focused on natural life and sport in particular road bike and triathlon.

I would love to get some tips on the use and probably the proper AF (c) setting especially related to road bike races. Is there a dedicated area of the forum for such technical discussions?

Thanks a lot !

Fabrizio

Hi everybody.

I am Rainer from Helsinki, Finland. 

I just sold all my Nikon gear (about 10 kg 😆 ) which I have been using since switching to digital 2004. I got a XT-4 and lenses 16-80 and 100-400. So far I'm very pleased.

I shoot mainly landscapes and nature.

    • Has anyone successfully used pocket wizards with an XT5? I cannot get it to fire.  Do Fujis and pocket wizards get along? Thanks in advance for your wisdom on this, kind readers!
    • Grzegorz, Go to the Networking Setting in your camera menu (the last one at the bottom - unless you have a My Menu then that is the last one). There, go to Network Setting and choose the SSID (name) of your WiFi network, type in the password, choose "SET". If you have a functioning DHCP server on your network, the camera should get its IP address (and Subnet_Mask and Gateway). If not, you can enter these manually. It is a little tricky, there will be some zeros already here, move the cursor after the zero and use DEL to delete it and make space in the input fields for your own correct values. If you do not know what to enter, have a look at values in the network settings of your computer and use the same except for the IP address, try some fairly higher number, hopefully you hit an unused one. Usually the values would be something like IP: 192.168.1.188, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, Gateway IP: 192.168.1.1  or something like that, take clues from your computer. The camera and computer must be on the same network. Then in Connection Mode on the camera, choose Wireless Tethering Fixed. And half-press the shutter to exit the menu and get in shooting mode. The red LED should be blinking. If you can look at your network devices, e.g. on your router, you should see the camera there. You can see check the camera settings in the camera menu in the INFORMATION item of the Network Setting menu to see the MAC address of your camera and look for it in the list of devices on your network.  Then use the tethering in your software, e.g. in Capture One. The camera may not show immediately, take a shot and then it should show in the list of available cameras. Good luck. Report back how did you fare.  PS If you have a Windows machine, you need to have Bonjour installed and running. Macs have it.
    • Hey all, I just got my first camera. The X-T30 II. It seems the Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display view-mode is doing the exact same thing as just the Eye Sensor view-mode setting. Any ideas why this is or what's supposed to be happening? Firmware Version: 2.04
    • What GordW said. You have to put the drive mode dial to "S" - Single Frame. If you have it on CL, CH, BKT or Panorama (or HDR), the Multiple Exposure option will be greyed out in the shootng menu. On my X-T5 it works in RAW + JPG and also in JPG only. When Multiple Exposure is switched on, the image quality cannot be set to RAW only. If it was set to RAW only before switching Multiple Exposure On, image quality defaults to RAW+Fine. The result is JPG. After each shot press MENU/OK and after the last one press DISP/BACK.
