Hello.  Very new here.  I have the Fuji XT-4 with the most current firmware as of July 2020.  In the menus there are two options for IBIS - Continuous & Shooting Only.  I can't seem to find anything in the user manual or online about this - maybe I'm not looking in the right places.   Can anyone please advise on how to turn the In Body Image Stabilization to "OFF" for shooting on a tripod?  I've heard some folks talk that you don't really need to do this as this mechanism may not introduce "shake" the way some IBIS systems do.  However, I don't see an option for OFF in the camera menu.  Just Continuous or Shooting.   Anyone have any experience they can offer?  I imagine I am just missing it.   Thanks in advance!

Read my post that shares Ken Wheelers XT-4 book.  He goes through the ins and outs.

I'm new here.  What is your post called and where do I find it?  That is kind of a vague answer but I appreciate the reply.

Thanks LeonD.  I was thinking that was the case but could find nothing in Fuji Manual to clarify that.  That is what I have been doing uncertain it was the right thing.  Until now.  Much obliged!

I agree, I'm pretty new at the X-T4 as well and I found Kasumi3344's reply a bit insulting. (Later) I read through the book Kasumi3344 offered and found the author's attitude insulting. Come on guys, why not drop the sharp, impatient, know-it-all attitude and just offer helpful information?

Are you using a lens with OIS?  If you are, turn image stabilization on and off with the lens.  

If you put a lens on the camera without OIS, OFF will suddenly appear in the menu.

Things are not so simple or consistent. One of the kit lenses, the 16-80mm F4, for example has OIS, but does not have a lens On/Off button. Rather,

"The OIS is designed to automatically detect when the camera is being used on a tripod, and therefore there is no switch to turn the OIS on/off. In fact, there are no switches on this lens at all." (quote is from a PetaPixel review). 

In my case, with the 16-80mm kit lens, the OFF option is included. I've seen YouTube guru's recommend selecting for IS mode: "Shooting Only". This way, the IBIS isn't moving internally while you are carrying the camera. So, in this case, it will be ON for hand-held shooting, and will default to OFF (at least the 16-80mm) when on a Tripod.

I shot with tripod and never turned it off, no issues for me.

      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

      By Trevor R · Posted

      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.
