Hello all,

I'm currently an XT30 user with 3 primes and am very drawn to to the new XS10 partly for the Ibis and the better grip, but I see it does not have a focus mode switch. I saw a mention of this being customised to the touch screen however I am wondering if it can be assigned to a button, in particular the one near the EVF which by default I believe is WB. Couldn't tell from the manual, does anyone here happen to know?

Thanks for any info.

Jonno, I picked up my X-S10 yesterday and like you had some concerns regarding focus modes. My previous camera was an EOS M5 and I used auto focus but when I wanted to lock the focus I was able to press a button and go straight to Manual focus mode. I wanted to replicate this ability in my new camera and have found a solution. I have set the camera to Back Button Focus. I now press and release the AFON button for single auto-focus, press and hold the AFON button for continuous auto-focus and when the AFON button is not touched I am in manual focus mode without having to press any buttons. I used Back Button focus on my old Nikon D7000 and enjoyed using it so I hope the same for the X-S10.

I have not tried it thoroughly yet as it has been raining all day and I am waiting to get out and experiment.

If you want to know the settings let me know.

Dave.

Rain stopped so went out to try the settings.

Slight disappointment, if I set the camera to AF-C mode I get single auto focus with a press and release and a continuous autofocus when I press and hold the AFON button but NO manual focus in between.

If I set  the camera to AF-M mode I get single auto focus with a press and release of the AFON button and manual focus the rest of the time.

Looks like I cant have it all, unless someone else knows better.

What I really want is to auto focus with the shutter button and be able to lock the focus until I choose otherwise. This would allow me to re-compose between shots knowing the focus has not changed.

I was just in the middle of replying to your first post to point out that it isn't quite that simple with Fuji - even if you use AF-ON you still need to choose a focus mode.

You can use AF-M in combination with AF-ON - as long as you keep your finger on the AF-ON button it will keep focussing and stop when you take it off (provided you have chosen AF-C for instant AF mode) - but its not the same as using AF-C.

Your right it is not that simple. In fact I have found that I prefer focus on the shutter release with the AFON button set to AF Lock. Now I can focus, lock it and then re-compose to my hearts content and take many photos on that focus setting.

I have put Manual focus settings on a custom setting and that works too.

Thanks for your help Greybeard, Dave.

Thanks Dave for the updates, interesting to hear you experiences. I since handled the camera and decided it was not for me for a few reasons, the missing mode switch being one of them,  also not keen on the flip out screen, much preferring the format of the XT30 , and more fatally handling a 100v which am now collecting Thursday! Hope it works out OK for you , will follow.low with interest.

RAW  and this last two format look like same result about Number of recording picture. Can tell alll results in this: in raw you can make 17 pictures for second.Is wrong.Is about One single Press and wait buffer. Full 30/20/10/8 not change. After 17 Need Press again. You not can Press before "redgreen light recording Is on"   With preshot you can have 25  are more 7 pictures  The story change Only in jpg shot only. In jpg at 30 you have 30 picture but redgreen light off very Fast so you can shot very quicly. At 20 shot Is about start look like infinite shot. 60   So the best performance are this last One  about Speed and recording picture after camera working witout big limit I want take a shot about Italy cyclet Just for passion.

      I do not use Flickr, so I do not know what their BB code is. All I did was copy the second link you provided, (starting at https: and ending at  _k.jpg — leave off the [img] and [/img] tags) and pasted it into the message. After a moment, a message popped up asking if I wanted to paste it as the image or as a plain link. I did this twice, the first time I had it paste in as the image and the second time as a link. Nothing fancy or tricky.

      So do I just copy the BB code from flickr and paste it anywhere on the page like other forums or is there some other trick I need to perform to get it to post?

      X Raw Studio Doesn't Create Drive for Camera When Connected

      By JovialLich · Posted

      All software is the latest between camera and app. All settings are correct on camera. I have both lossless and uncompressed RAW files on the card in the camera. I have been up and down every reddit thread to no avail and am losing my mind… I’m doing all of the right things. It even sees my camera. It just doesn’t create the “drive” for it (see attached image screenshot).  Please Help!

      X-T30 II Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display viewmode not working

      By grizzski · Posted

      Not sure how to delete threads, but I figured out what was wrong. In short, I was partially misunderstanding the view-mode's function. Also, the "+LCD Image Display" part requires that you have the Image Disp. setting set to anything but Off. Then it will display your last image on the LCD. If it's off, it's behavior will be exactly like the plain Eye Sensor setting.
