Fuji X-T3 SS (Shutter Shift) Keeps Overriding Manual Shutter Speed Settings


Recommended Posts

Hello,

We have an ongoing problem where, we set the camera to manual mode.

We set the shutter speed using the dial.

However, the camera decides to override our manual setting, and the SS mode (shutter shift), changes our manual shutter speed.

For instance, if we manually set the shutter to 500, the shutter shift will automatically change the shutter speed to 125. 

This is ruining all of our shots, where there is any kind of movement.

How can we stop the SS mode from taking over?

Here is a video link of an example:

For completeness sake, there are several things to double check:

The front and / or rear dial(s) are not set to change the shutter speed, and you are not accidentally moving them.

The Menu Lock Setting is not turned on, menu > wrench > button / dial > lock, this can override the button.

The menu options for min / max shutter speed setting are not set too narrow.

The button itself may be broken, it will take a trip to your dealer to get this repaired.

We have verified that none of these are the root cause of the issue.

The X-T3 does have program shift, but does not have Shutter Shift.

This type of problem you are describing does turn up now and then, it has been discussed on other forums, here is one:

It is not a broken button, or broken dial issue.

The SS mode overrides the dial settings.

There must be a way to disable this "feature".

I had a similar experience with my X-T4, switching off D-range priority fixed it for me.

Hope this helps for you too.

Hello, Thank you for the response.

This is the first thing we checked. The d-range is turned off.

The only work-around we have been able to find, is to set the shutter dial to T and use the thumb botton/dial on the back of the camera.

We have even reset the camera to default settings, but it is still being a problem.

    • Hello dear Fujifolks - I come from 54 years of shooting Nikon cameras, and this is my first Fujifilm experience as I've just sold my Nikon D7200 in exchange for a tiny but endearing X-T20. Very pleased with it as it's so lightweight, but very well built. But takes some getting used to the menus and settings after Nikon's DSLR functional simplicity ! I'm working on it though and slowly coming to terms with the new system. My question for now is this: is there any way to turn OFF the wifi antenna in the camera ? I'm particularly wifi signal sensitive and have no intention of using that function as I do all my editing and printing on my PC. I've checked the wifi menu options but cannot find a simple wifi ON-OFF selector. Thanks for your help and I'll be back with more Q's when needed. Blessings to you all... 
    • Has anyone successfully used pocket wizards with an XT5? I cannot get it to fire.  Do Fujis and pocket wizards get along? Thanks in advance for your wisdom on this, kind readers!
    • Grzegorz, Go to the Networking Setting in your camera menu (the last one at the bottom - unless you have a My Menu then that is the last one). There, go to Network Setting and choose the SSID (name) of your WiFi network, type in the password, choose "SET". If you have a functioning DHCP server on your network, the camera should get its IP address (and Subnet_Mask and Gateway). If not, you can enter these manually. It is a little tricky, there will be some zeros already here, move the cursor after the zero and use DEL to delete it and make space in the input fields for your own correct values. If you do not know what to enter, have a look at values in the network settings of your computer and use the same except for the IP address, try some fairly higher number, hopefully you hit an unused one. Usually the values would be something like IP: 192.168.1.188, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, Gateway IP: 192.168.1.1  or something like that, take clues from your computer. The camera and computer must be on the same network. Then in Connection Mode on the camera, choose Wireless Tethering Fixed. And half-press the shutter to exit the menu and get in shooting mode. The red LED should be blinking. If you can look at your network devices, e.g. on your router, you should see the camera there. You can see check the camera settings in the camera menu in the INFORMATION item of the Network Setting menu to see the MAC address of your camera and look for it in the list of devices on your network.  Then use the tethering in your software, e.g. in Capture One. The camera may not show immediately, take a shot and then it should show in the list of available cameras. Good luck. Report back how did you fare.  PS If you have a Windows machine, you need to have Bonjour installed and running. Macs have it.
    • Hey all, I just got my first camera. The X-T30 II. It seems the Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display view-mode is doing the exact same thing as just the Eye Sensor view-mode setting. Any ideas why this is or what's supposed to be happening? Firmware Version: 2.04
    • What GordW said. You have to put the drive mode dial to "S" - Single Frame. If you have it on CL, CH, BKT or Panorama (or HDR), the Multiple Exposure option will be greyed out in the shootng menu. On my X-T5 it works in RAW + JPG and also in JPG only. When Multiple Exposure is switched on, the image quality cannot be set to RAW only. If it was set to RAW only before switching Multiple Exposure On, image quality defaults to RAW+Fine. The result is JPG. After each shot press MENU/OK and after the last one press DISP/BACK.
