X-S10 and Lensbaby

[colinsmith18]

Lensbaby lenses are manual when it comes to focussing - I get that. However when attached to my X-S10 there is no facility to zoom in when focussing to ensure I've got the focus right. There is the Focus Check option which I have turned on so with a regular lens set in manual focus then the camera zooms in when I turn the focussing ring. This doesn't work with Lensbabies. With my X-T30 with a Lensbaby attached all I have to do is press the rear rotary dial and the camera zooms in. This is very helpful at ensuring my focus is right.

 

Am I missing something with my X-S10 setup? I would have thought that as Fuji built in the option into other cameras in the X series to zoom in they would have built it into the X-S10 also.

Did you try turning the Focus Lever menu setting to Zoom mode and then try to zoom?

Excellent @jerryy I can now get the camera to zoom in when I press the focus lever. I don't think I would have ever found that out from the manual so many thanks indeed. I had tried every other function button setting except this one 😀
