Hi,

 
I'm wondering if I have an issue with my camera and maybe someone can offer some guidance. 
 
I have a Fujifilm X-T30 with an 18-55 XF Zoom lens and was trying out Aperture Priority (AP) for the first time. My setup was: Manual Focus, F11, ISO 80, AF mode single point, Photometry to Multi, DR 100. Also, Exposure Compensation Dial (ECD) set to 0.
 
I took a picture and check for any blown-out highlights. It was generally a bright day with white clouds, so at F11 the camera was choosing about a shutter speed of 1/170 and I was getting blown out highlights. So I then use the ECD to reduce the exposure by a stop or more but sometimes (quite often in fact), and still in AP mode, the camera would 'suddenly' show 1/4000 in red on the display. (Note: turning the ECD back to 0 did not force the camera to go back to the original shutter speed).
 
With the ECD set to -2, I switch the camera off and back on, the problem no longer there and a faster shutter speed selected. The manual states: "If the correct exposure cannot be achieved at the selected aperture, shutter speed will be displayed in red." It looks like the camera is having difficulty for whatever reason
 
The body firmware is at 1.00 and the lens at 3.22.
 
Am I doing something wrong or is there an issue with the camera in AP mode?
 
Cheers,
Rael

      Hello. Thankyou,now Is all more clear: I have take some time in your link. Let tell you. I has totaly forget this machine have "compress picture option" and not Only "compress lossless" anyway not change the experiment. RAW  and this last two format look like same result about Number of recording picture. Can tell all 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 think i Will use this last setting.  After Need check when battery not are full change and ambient temp.  Anyway my cam look like exactly specific about you link. Im Happy my cam working perfectly.

      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?
