well, of course you have the LCD to help you with that.

 

I am not sure whether that is accurate but some products claim they have adapter plates for Fuji although they mean the older S series.

It might be possible to buy use the original eyecup of the camera as an “ adapter” to use one of those 90 degrees viewfinder ( and buy yourself an extended one) or to have the adapter bit 3D printed for you.

From what I am finding so far, you are correct in that the adapter only fits the S series.

 

 

LCD is not the best to use outdoors in clumsy low positions,  Old body you know!!  Even with the Hoodman Loupe it is not as easy to critical focus with the LCD.  The other problem is that it does not swing in a direction to be useful when the camera is in a vertical (portrait) orientation

Cheers, I feel your pain... unfortunately I too understand that shooting in certain positions is painful.

 

Maybe some third party maker could have made it but if they thought there was any money to be made with this they would have done so already.

 

I also think that it is unlikely that Fuji will ever come up with a right angle viewfinder attachment themselves for the same reason so, unless you are going to do some DIY, I don’t see predicament having any solution.

 

In a way I see the X-T1 as a camera somehow inspired to the Pentax LX, that camera had many a beautiful solutions for this problem.

      High-contrast scenes creating too dark JPGs with X-T50??

      By jerryy · Posted

      Which direction is the light source coming from in the dark images? For example, if it coming from behind the subject, a common occurrence known as backlighting, put some light from the front toward the subject — you can do this with a flash unit, or by using various types of colored reflectors. Or, use long exposures with various grades and types of graduated neutral density filters to bring out the dark areas without blowing out the highlights. Or try bracketing exposures. There is a technique called ETTR, expose to the right, which will bring out shadow detail but risks blowing out the brighter sections. This may help in understanding DR settings as well as Dynamic Range Priority: https://www.jmpeltier.com/fujifilm-dynamic-range-settings/ p.s. The situation you are describing has been one photographers have struggled against since cameras and photographers have been around.

      Looking for HDR RAF image sample

      By DrCQ · Posted

      Hi, I'm looking for some Fujifilm HDR RAF image samples from the X-T4, X-Pro3 or X100V cameras. These cameras should store 3 RAW images inside the RAF image file in HDR mode. In need it, to verify my own software, but don't find any downloadable samples on web. Can someone help? Christoph

      High-contrast scenes creating too dark JPGs with X-T50??

      By Tvir · Posted

      I would like to get your comments on the following problem of mine: Occasionally, I do get too dark JPG pictures with X-T50 - when the scene is contrasty; I think this is the very situation. This can happen when sun shines from a blue sky or the sky is cloudy but still very bright. I find these outcomes strange, as in many other (more or less similar) situations I find that the exposure is balanced. Is there any remedy for this, as I cannot completely figure out as to why this happens. Photometry is at the most common center-weight setting. What factors/settings can affect the picture's exposure in X-T50 (in the situation I describe)? For JPGs I've set the dynamic range on (DR400 with ISO500). Can that do it?? I thought it balances contrasts... Well, I can adjust the exposure on a computer but that is extra work for holiday pictures.

      Fujixt4 icon unknown lower left corner

      By Greybeard · Posted

      Like Jerryy says you can scale you image down so that it can be uploaded - that way we aren't guessing. The only symbol that looks like a camera is the Continuous Mode symbol - but it normally has "L" or "H" next to it rather than a "1"

      Fujixt4 icon unknown lower left corner

      By jerryy · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. I think the icon that looks like a camera you are mentioning could be the metering mode icon: https://fujifilm-dsc.com/en-int/manual/x-t4/about_this_camera/display/index.html (Number 39 or 41 depending on whether you are looking at the viewfinder screen or the lcd screen.) Have you customized any display settings? That would affect what you get to see on the displays. Akso, if you have Large Indicator Mode turned on, the M or P will not show: https://fujifilm-dsc.com/en-int/manual/x-t4/menu_setup/screen_set-up/index.html p.s. If you have an image editor, you can scale your images to a smaller size that can be uploaded.
