I don't know about X-Pro1, but X-Pro2 doesn't change OVF magnification automatically after lenses change. That's the problem.

Maybe you are not changing between 2 lenses that require different magnification

 

The 16 and the 18 or perhaps the 56 and the 90

I just double checked, changed 23mm for 56mm and vise versa and it didn't change magnification automatically.

 

Edit: Okay, it changes only if camera remains turned on, when the change occurs. Which is odd, I usually change lenses when the camera is off.

 

Edit 2: Now, when it changed couple of times being turned on, it started to change every time regardless of being turned on or off. This is really odd, it wasn't changing at all before that, I'm not insane. :wacko: And it appears I'm not the only one who had this problem. Maybe there is another reason why it didn't change before, I'm not sure anymore.

I 'cured' mine by the same method - now it's been working like it should for three month …

Wishful Firmware Request Updates:

 

1. Allow "Viewfinder Mode only" to use "Menu setting" on the Main LCD Display and not in the Viewfinder. It's too tiny to do all that.

 

I understand there is eye sensor mode but, I dont need the Main LCD to always be running when my eye is away from the viewfinder to save batteries.

 

2. The option to turn off the "Blinking read LED light." Ricoh Digital GR II allows to have this option and I LOVED it!.  It allowed me to take photos in dark places without giving away my position or attracting attention. Good useful for Street.

 

3. Whenever you turn on the camera or wake it from sleep mode the photos are super over exposed when you take a quick snap after turning it on. Currently, I would let the camera warm up when I turn it on but this defeats the purpose of quick on time if you still have to wait.

 

4. Why is the min ISO 200 when in auto ? Please give it the option to set min to ISO 100 for auto Range.

Shooting indoors during a live stage show I have found myself wishing for the ability to assign settings to buttons that can be toggled between two related values of my choosing. For example,

  1. Eye focus (both eyes) on <---> Eye focus off
  2. Drive Still image  <---> Drive Continuous 8fps

Although I got by using the menus, it would be so much easier with a single button press

 

In the various b/w modes, it would be nice to have other colour filters available e.g. orange. Or perhaps allow one to choose from a colour wheel as IRC you can on Olympus cameras

- Custom setting to decouple exposure lock with half press of shutter button. Right now exposure is always locked (and aperture stopped down) in AF-S and AF-C mode when shutter is half pressed 

- Improve AF algorithm to give more priority to the closest objects instead of an object with higher contrast (i.e. background)

I'd like the Camera presets to include any parameters the user chooses... then you could have a variety of saved camera states and put 2 (C1 plus C4 for example) on a Fn button.

    • 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. 
    • Thank you. I will research it.
    • 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.
