Why ! You don’t like selfie screen?

It's not that I don't like them.  It's more that I HATE THEM!!!  I use my LCD on my XT-3 and XT-2 at different angles every time I go out.  It's how I get into close spots and get the shots I like to get.  Using a selfie screen makes the camera twice as wide and impossible to reach the angles I normally shoot.

If you don´t need and use them fully articulating screens are just ridiculous! I totally agree: if there is another absurd display as in the x-pro 3 or x-t4 the new one won`t be mine.

Not arguing with anyone about their preferences, but I love the fully articulating screen and will not buy a Fujifilm camera that doesn't have one. I passed on the recent X-T3 sale because it did not have one.

Viewfinders are the most important item for me and the X-Pro3 is a camera I am looking to buy on sale, after the X-H2 is announced; unless of course it offers one better with the X-H2.  LCD's are awful for anything in my view but reviewing pictures taken.

Smeared scratched LCD screens with those absurd screen protectors, inability to see in strong sunlight, are a joke compared to a real first class viewfinder as on the X-Pro3 and I wish Fujifilm would advance them and place them on more cameras.

No problem however, understanding how others think the opposite.

I originally came from canon cameras, that had the same articulating screens, and i hated them.

They are useless in windy land/seascape situations, where they effectively double the profile of the body, causing camera shake.

While it would be nice if Fuji could produce bodies with either an articulating or hinged rear screen, its probably very impractical, and expensive.

Unfortunately video vloggers make the most noise, so the rest of use have to put up with it, or find another manufacturer that doesn't use these type of screens.

I've been using Fujiflm ever since i purchased a X-T1 in 2014, if i have to upgrade my T2, it properly wont be Fuji.

I bought an X-T2 to try my hands on X-T camera and like it a lot. Its tilting LCD screen is very sturdy. The tilting screen is great for street photography too, which  I don't have on my X100F. Although I don't need it personally, I do understand the need for fully articulating screen for folks who use it to create videos on youtube (and other applications ...).

1. Integrate the "selfie" feature into the display's arm and limit its flexibility for people behind the camera or,

2. Create self-standing selfie monitors between 50 mm and 300 mm diagonal that plug into the video port, run off their own batteries and show all of the camera info and live image as if it were a viewfinder. People can use a remote or phone application to control the camera when facing it.

I was at a Fuji Day at a local camera store and I got a chance to speak with the Fuji rep for our side of the country. While he did not spill any details about the X-H2, he said that Fujirumors, despite not being directly affiliated with Fujifilm, has only been wrong once in their Fuji camera predictions in the last ten years and it's not this camera.

I put myself on the waiting list at the store right then and there.

FujiRumors has reported that one of the two X-H2 models being introduced will be called the X-H2s. The comment thread is rife with speculation as to what the "S" means. My bet is "Stills" because using the "S" designation for the video version is a Sony thing.

It could also stand for "Super" Carlos with the larger sensor and higher frame rate.

I’ve been told (a few times) that the X-H2 will be coming this spring but I’m not holding my breath. Just my wallet. If they announce an X-Pro4 with either the 40mp sensor or the stacked 26 (faster Street shooting) with the CF Express second card option, I may go for that instead. And wait.

I own the X-H2 and have shot with it for several months. Lowlight is amazing and the extra pixels help with cropping if needed. My workflow with darktable is unaffected by the size of the images.

      Image Stabilisation

      By Heccie Thump · Posted

      I couldn't find my manual so downloaded a PDF copy and did some searching.  From p146 of the manual, regarding Shooting Only stabilisation: "Image stabilization enabled only when the shutter button is pressed halfway (focus mode C) or the shutter is released." So it appears that the camera is 'working as intended' and that in AF-S the stabilisation mechanism kicks in only as you release the shutter. I think I would prefer it to activate on a half press, like it does in AF-C.

      Fuji Apps hijack exposure reading

      By jerryy · Posted

      Sometime a short break can help to phrase things so that they do not sound annoying, Well that is the hope anyway, so here goes. Having that meter would be nice as well as having the histogram. But having them or not is a minor consideration in terms of what you are wanting to do because the app does not work with intervalometers. The only way you can get a time lapse sequence using the app is to manually click the shutter button, wait then click it again and so on. Even if the meter were there, you would need extremely fast reflexes to see and react to a lighting change by changing the settings and then going back to clicking the shutter button. Doing that for hours would be a feat indeed. The equipment you mention does this by analyzing several past images and predicting what settings to apply to the next incoming image. Right now the app has the live view which will tell you if an area is over or under exposed, but as far as what you are wanting to do without being able to connect the app to an intervalometer, well …

      Image Stabilisation

      By Heccie Thump · Posted

      I want to check with you guys on how image stabilisation is meant to work on the XT4 and whether I might have an issue. I was out with the camera yesterday with the 80mm macro lens, which has OIS, and the 1.4 Teleconverter and did some tests to see how good the stabilisation was performing by pointing at random objects/general landscape.  On the lens I had the OIS switch turned on and I selected the stabilisation to be always on in the menu option and was suitably impressed with how much camera shake was reduced.  However, when I went in the menu and selected Shooting Only for stabilisation I noticed something odd.  My understanding with this mode is that when you half press the shutter release the OIS is meant to turn on and stabilise the image just before completing the shot.  With the focus switch set to Continuous AF this is exactly what happened - shaky image, half press, stable image.  But, if the focus selector switch is set to Single AF I half press the release and I get no stabilisation.  The focus locks and the exposure locks but the image is still shaky in the viewfinder. I swapped out the lens for my 16-80mm kit lens and this performs exactly the same - no image stabilisation with Single AF selected, so it appears to be something to do with the body and not the lens. Is this normal?  I would be surprised if stabilisation only kick in when you fully press the shutter release because some shots are taken with tiny fractions of a second of exposure and the mechanism will still need a finite time to engage.

      Fuji 100s & the new xApp

      By Greybeard · Posted

      Thats an interesting question - there appear to be two different remote access interfaces to the camera : Bluetooth/Wi-Fi and USB - the USB interface does have a way of accessing a shutter count - I haven't seen any report that its available via Bluetooth/WiFi.

      Fuji Apps hijack exposure reading

      By garfinkle · Posted

      Jerry. We're really travelling in circles here (please refer to my original post). I know what tethering is and how to use it. I use the TL Plus View to trigger a Zeapon system for Time Lapse and the two together work perfectly fine. However, it would be nice to work occasionally without this rig and simply use the Fuji app. The workaround you're describing is unworkable for any serious Day to Night timelapse as, apart from anything else (such as camera touching and therefore unwanted movement) you are constantly looking in the rear view mirror as to what it is you're metering, not to mention that the space between intervals would have to be unusably long. (sigh) All Im asking is that the app displays the exposure when using ANY intervalometer. There may be no serious workaround, but I thank you for your thoughts.
