When i set my lens to manual focus, can i still lock focus with my shutter dial on the camera.. When i set the camera to manual ISO, shutter speed & manual fuocus on my lens.. still will the camera be able to focus when i use the shutter dial & the camera uses automatic EV to compensate for shadows & highlights in my frame..! 

 

When i set my camera to manual mode i want it to be dead. I decide all of the settings, not the camera! I've read the camera manual i and i can't figure it out!!

 

How to fix this issue? Anyone??

Don't fully understand the question(s).  The focus mode is separate from the exposure modes (Shutter, ISO, Aperture).  You can set all of these to manual independently.  The EVF can be set to preview mode (default) in the Screen Setup menu option.

Change the shooting mode from S to M on the front dial maybe ?

 

Then again I am not certain I understand your wishes correctly. There shouldn't be any EV compensation, just maybe the White Balance if you left one on Auto instead of having it set at a certain Kelving degree.

 

As soon you set out your ISO out, the aperture and speed, the auto EV shouldn't be doing anything yet as far as I know.

Are you saying you've set your ISO, Aperture, and Shutter speed to manual, but you would like to camera to also be in manual focus?  Simply move the switch on the front from A to M (or pull the clutch on the 23mm or wider Fuji primes).  Done!  You are in complete control of everything.  The camera will no longer interfere.

 

I don't have the camera in front of me to test with a non-clutch lens if you can instigate the AF via the AF-On button when switched to manual focus on the camera body, but that may be a possibility since it's just a digital setting.

 

As an additional option, you can enable the "AF+MF" mode, which will let you use the autofocus with a half press, but you can still tweak things manually afterwards.  Otherwise you'll either be in total AF or total MF when switching modes.  I didn't really care for this as it removed the functionality of the clutch on my 23mm, which I really like.  I'll have to revisit it again, though, as I didn't really learn it well to see if it would be better for me.

Manuel Focus: Set the dial in front to M

Manuel ISO: just set the ISO dial to any ISO value

Manuel Aperture: It on the lens. Just dont keep it at A

Manuel Shutter: I use my xt1 with "T" all the time.

 

When you do above. It is completely manuel.

 

Manuel - the manual shooting man - agrees with this.

 

In addition you could also lock the White Balance from the Q menu.

 

And did a firmware update not make Exposure Compensation possible in Manual mode? I'm not sure. Set it to 0 anyway.

I set exp.comp. to 0. and it doesnt effect anything in m mode.

Lets say you use aperture priorty mode, then exp.comp. matters. It is for semi auto modes such as Aperture/shutter/ISO priority modes.

I know what it does of course. But people were asking for exposure compensation in Manual as a feature request. I think the issue was that when only Auto-iso was still active, then exposure comp wouldn't work.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By thelostkiwi · Posted

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.

      Typically you need to make sure the lens is compatible with the camera, i.e. check the lens compatibility charts for your camera, then make sure the respective firmwares are updated so older issues are resolved. After that, each lens has a manufacturer’s profile which will be embedded into the raw file meta data for the images captured using that lens. From there, it is up to the raw conversion software to apply the lens correction to the image. Different converters do that differently, some automatically, some only if a setting is turned on. For in-camera jpegs, the on-board converter does the corrections automatically, assuming the camera recognizes the lens, it applies a generic profile otherwise. I do not know if that can be turned off or not.
