Find Shutter Priority When No Switch on the Lens?

[rambler]

I have the   Fujifilm 50-230 lens on a X T-10.  With no switch on the lens, how do I find Shutter priority?  First I could not find Manual, but it appeared when I moved the dial on the back.  Now that does not seem to work.  Pressing that dial leads to focus selections.  Help!!

Normally, just turning the back dial should be sufficient to get into Aperture mode, just make sure you didn't go to far and ended into Auto mode for the Aperture.

Do you want Auto aperture? Just put the aperture selection on A then.

Obviously the shutter speed dial should be set to anything else but Auto.

The command dial on the back of the camera becomes your aperture selector. The Auto position is reached by turning - not pressing - it to the right as far as necessary until the aperture number disappears. Confusingly you can turn it further to the right without anything further happening. Never mind, press the Menu button and verify that the title says Shutter Priority AE.

 

If you now turn the command dial to the left you activate aperture selection and enter manual mode. Again you may verify this by pressing the menu button and it will say Manual. The screen display will show both shutter speed and aperture.

 

If instead you turn the shutter speed dial to the Auto position you will enter Program mode (you can verify again with the menu button). In Program mode the display shows shutter speed and aperture. If ISO is set to Auto you can't change them, the camera will make the selection for you. If ISO is set to a fixed number however you can select another combination by turning (not pressing) the front dial. Combinations other than the one the camera would select are shown in yellow.

 

If you now turn the backdial to the left you will enter Aperture Priority mode. You can verify again by pressing the menu button.

 

I moved recently from X-M1 to X-T10. On the X-M1 there is a dedicated button position for each of these modes. On the X-T10 you have to memorise how to do it. It's not difficult but... The X-T10 is a much much more manually oriented camera than the X-M1.

The Fuji implementation is much more logical than a PASM dial, in my opinion.

It's super-simple. Want to adjust the shutter speed? Turn the shutter speed dial. Want to have the aperture adjust automatically when you turn the shutter speed dial? Set the aperture to A. And that's it.
