I'd love to see more examples like this. Thinking of getting into Fuji X., knowing I can easily adapt for landscape, architecture and street but mixed feelings about candid or posed portraits indoors. Particularly candid when subject is moving.

 

Nice shot!

FSP, thanks for posting this one. I can't tell if you bounced it, but my guess is you did. It froze the action nicely. Just the right amount of light. Do you also have the X-T10 and if so do you ever use the little built in flash for fill? (Just looked up the i40 and would be nice addition for many situations I'm in., 'tho have yet to purchase my Fuji.)

Yes, bounced with the i40 for that image. I had a wall fairly close behind me. I love how quick the controls are on the i40! I didn't want too much light bouncing back on my subject as I wanted to avoid overexposing the background with the video guy finding his way into my frame. I probably had it in manual as I rarely trust TTL during receptions so having the access to power so quick and easy is really nice.

 

I do have the X-T10 which I'm really loving. It is my second during weddings and my go to for personal stuff. I used the pop up the first night I got the camera just messing around. I'm not super knowledgeable on it but it seems like it would fill shadows on fairly close subjects well.

    • Looking more like the next Fuji camera we see will be an X-T50 but it is still a rumor and no specs have been published.
    • Hey guys, The shutter on/off button switch may be loose on mine. After turning camera on and pressing the shutter/holding close to the area, the camera will turn off and say 'sensor cleaning'. This doesn't happen if I'm shooting via touch screen at all. Everything else is functional. Anyone else experience this before? Would love a much cheaper fix since Fuji Canada just quoted me $700 CAD to fix it, and considering everything else is functional except that part I'm not even sure why MPMB Main Board parts is being replaced😕 I got no explanation from them either.
    • As far as I know the firmware is not country specific. Are you sure that the filename has not been changed ( I am told this can happen with mac os). That's the only thing I can think of.
    • My x-t5 does not exhibit the focusing switch behaviour as you report it, so that is very strange and indicative of a fault. It does not matter whether the flash is attached or not. Once you set the camera for your studio flash, say 1/250th at f5.6, the camera, which is showing you what you will get at that exposure without the flash, will show a black screen unless the ambient light is brighter than what you would typically get indoors. That is why, as Jerry says, you have to set preview exp/wb to off. I have set a button for this.
    • I connected to FRAME.IO a while back and it works fine, but the camera wouldn't connect to the internet all of a sudden today and would get stuck on the reset screen, including initializing and even switching USB Connection mode. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
