So I was lucky enough to attend the 2015 AdobeMax conference in L.A. a couple weeks ago, where all attendees received a free X-T10 and XF 18-55 lens. I am not a photographer, but I am interested in learning as a hobby now. Given the zero cost, I went ahead and bought an XC 50-230 lens, extra batteries, and a vanguard vojo 25 bag for safe keeping. Where do I begin? I have read many intro/fundamentals of photography over the past 2 weeks, and I am thirsting for more knowledge to send me down the right path. Any and all suggestions welcome

The only advice I can really give is to have fun. Don't think too much about it, just take pictures of anything and everything you want.

 

Try things out, experiments here and there, take it easy, it's a hobby, quite a fun one even.

 

If you have friends/colleagues/... with photography experience you can ask them to judge your pictures, take what they say with a grain of salt as if they are experienced, their ways of shooting might not be yours.

By taking more and more pictures, you will naturally find things that you like to do and others that you won't like and slowly your own style will show up in your pictures.

Photography is a very personal thing, it has to please you first. If that shot also happens to appeal to others, that's even better.

 

As for the technique, just stick to auto at first and slowly learn up things like the Aperture, ISO, speed, composition,... 

 

Gear wise, you are pretty much set for most things, there will be very little need for more except when you will start getting picky about your pictures, even so you can still make do with what you currently have.

      X100V - How to retain menu position?

      By LauzunLee · Posted

      Is there a way to keep your menu selection on the last option you used? For example.  When I select MENU the cursor defaults to MY Menu.  I scroll up to IQ settings, make a change, and return to shooting. When I press the MENU button again the cursor is back to MY Menu.  I really want it to stay on the IQ setting I was last using (or any other Menu setting). It's a PITA to keep scrolling up and down, back to the previous setting.  (Note.  My Canon Menu retains the position of the last option I was using). Thanks in advance for any help.

      Photos on Angelbird AV Pro SX 160GB vs SE 512GB

      By Tomek666 · Posted

      Im not partal to any brad, just opted to try these based on apparent price / performance.  I'm always looking for best bang per buck, hence Fuji I guess - haha Reliabilty does not concern me, as I always shoot to two cards for pro work (and burst shooting is not a part of that). Made sense for me to get the cheapest / fastest CF cards for hobby shooting.     I just got a Sabrent Rocket V60 512GB cheep (as the back-up card).   As long as neither of these freeze the camera I hope its a cheep solution for my needs. (AB AV Pro SE 512Gb and Sabrent Rocket V60 512GB).  Half a gig of redunat storge for $200USD is something I can live with. (Especially considering I can bust the hell out of the Anglebird). Cheers, Tomek

      Charing battery inside the X-H2 over USB

      By Tomek666 · Posted

      Would using an external charger be of benefit to the batteries life? I appreace it can be faster, but I doin't mind pluging in the camera over USB to charge. Does charging via the camera do as good a job as lets say the fuji's own external charger? Does the camera stop charging once the battry is full and not over charge? I couldn't find these deatails in these forums or in the manual. Thank you!   Image below shot on X-T2 in a sunny studio.

      How to turn OFF the wifi antenna

      By jerryy · Posted

      It is really easy to find out if the wifi is on. Your computer or tablet or cell phone will have a network settings dealing with wifi, bluetooth, ethernet or “other”. Open that up and go into the section for wifi, and take note of which networks are listed. Turn on the camera and keep watching the list of networks. If your camera’s wifi is turned on, a new network should suddenly show up in your computer/tablet/phone’s network listings. Now go into the camera’s menus and start a wireless connection (the x-app or camera remote app can help you with this). You should see a network show up now. It is not hidden because it has to be visible so that your computer/tablet/phone can join the camera’s network to transfer images. Turn the camera off and that network should disappear. Turn the camera back on and see what happens.
