I’ve had my X Pro 3 less than a week and went shooting today and noticed it was in OVF rather than EVF. Tried to switch back and nothing happened. Switched lenses, same thing. Took battery out and put it back in at recommendation of Fujifilm Customer Support, still the same. It won’t switch back to EVF. Anyone have any solutions before I go to the hassle of sending it back to B&H?

I guess you mean your purchase was thru B&H.

But I doubt you want to do that. Have you tried a reset back to factory configuration? BE WARNED - THIS WILL NULLIFY ANY PERSONAL CONFIGURATION CHANGES YOU MAY HAVE MADE.

On my X Pro 2 there's a menu selection -> USER SETTING -> RESET.

Hope your problem is solved by now.

I can tell you about an issue I had two weeks ago with my brand new X-Pro3, when on holiday in Italy = 30 degrees C. Visiting narrow and hot alleys in Napoli the EVF wouldn’t work properly - it many times didn’t work at all. Had to turn the camera on/y time I wanted to shoot via the EVF. Guess the camera couldn’t cope with the temperature in the warm weather/sun. Now back in Copenhagen were I live, and the temperature/weather is of another (not so warm) level, the camera/EVF works well.

One could wish that the equipment would be more reliable in such circums.tances but it seems that production processes these days doesn’t make room for such perfection...

Best regards.

      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.
