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!

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.

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By Don Barar · Posted

      Here is the solution to using the Eterna 55 file simulation LUTs in Davinci Resolve.   In general, do not use the FLog2C to film simulation LUTs as they are not supported by Davinci Resolve for two reasons: 1) Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut Color Space and 2) Davinci Resolve does not support FLog2C gamma.  Instead, use Flog2 which is supported by Davinci Resolve.  Here is an example.  Let's say that you want to use Classic Chrome simulation.  Do the following: Complete your color grade and use a CST to get to Rec 709. Add a node.  Use a CST to convert from Rec 709 to FLog2.  Output Color space is Rec 2020 and Outout Gamut is FLog2. Add a node.  Apply the FLog2 to Classic Chrome LUT Create a combination node from node in steps 2 and 3. Apply a Key to the combination node and adjust the Key Output Gain to get the amount of the combination node that you want applied. So that you do not have to do this over and over again, generate a LUT for the combination node.  Remember to turn off all other nodes before generating the LUT. Hope this helps others. Don

      Thanks for the insights. I think it's really hard to make a decision without having the two side by side!

      I don’t have the 23 f2 but I have read several times that it is considered a little soft at close distance, compared to the 23 f1.4 lenses. These will also focus at shorter distance from the subject, esp. the new one. So that might make a difference. The new 23 f1.4 LM WR  has better resolution, esp. in regard to the 40Mpix sensors, which you don’t have on the X-T2. What practical difference that makes for the value of the pictures one makes is disputable and subjective.  f1.4 will gather more light but with a smaller DOF, which may be desirable in some situations but not so in others, depends. If you like to shoot close ups, you will probably use higher f numbers to get a bigger DOF. Same for landscapes. If you are a bokeh fan, yes the f1.4 lens are better.  The older 23 f1.4 lens that you are considering is a very good and respected lens. The f1.4 vs f2 aperture per se is perhaps not so important. The 23 f2 is very small, light and practical and a great lens for travel and landscapes. So, go figure. I am afraid I just sent you further down the road to insanity !

      First post here but long time fuji shorter. I use the XT2 with the 23mm f2 / 35mm 1.4 / 16-80mm f4 I'm considering the 23mm f1.4 r (Non-WR) About me: - I shoot black and white only. - I like macro details to wide open landscapes and everything in-between. - I shoot mostly for art, intrigue and creativity of the image. My question - is the 23mm f1.4 going to offer me any meaningful difference over the f2 for the above scenarios Thanks and sorry for bringing it up again...
