The X-T1 camera menu has options for Continuous and Shooting image stabilization. The XF series lenses have a stabilization switch. It is always recommended that you turn off the switch when shooting on a tripod. I just got an XC lens, which has no switch. The reviews on web sites say you use the camera settings. With no option in camera for an off, any recommendation about what to do when IS is not wanted?

 

Thanks.

This is another case of reading the manual or at least go through the menu.

 

There is an option in the menu to switch IS (Image stabilization) off.

 

The first option of Menu 5. This is automatically inactive if you use a lens without any stabilization.

 

If you use a lens with stabilization but no external switch for it, you put it on off ( I have the 50-30 which requires me doing this this way).

 

Otherwise you leave it always on and reach for the control on those lenses which offer it to you.

 

Problem solved but really it is all there.

 

Good Luck!

I have the same camera and the same firmware,  I can only tell you that my camera does have this option , including off, with my XC 50-230.

 

Unless something is broken in you lens ( or a contact is dirty) and it isn’t in mine, I don’t see how this would be different on both cameras. I can only tell you that if you don’t have to possibility to switch it off in menu 5 then there is something wrong with something but I am pretty sure that what I described is the correct way in which this is supposed to work, so does it with my camera and lens and is exactly what it says in the manual too because it has never been different.

Interesting. The XC must be mounted before the menu option Off is available. I was looking at the menu with the XF mounted and the Off option wasn't there. Smart camera.

 

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

If you don’t have any XC lens, you cannot see this because the camera knows you have a switch on the lens.

 

The camera senses the type of lens you have on, the IS option is not allowed, for example with manual lenses or adapters.

 

When you mount a XF lens and you enter the menu the next screen is ( I am translating since my menu is in another language) continuos, single shot AND on/off

Well, that sounds logical to me. Why display an option that is not available?

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By Don Barar · Posted

      Here is the solution to using the Eterna 55 file simulation LUTs in Davinci Resolve.   In general, do not use the FLog2C to film simulation LUTs as they are not supported by Davinci Resolve for two reasons: 1) Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut Color Space and 2) Davinci Resolve does not support FLog2C gamma.  Instead, use Flog2 which is supported by Davinci Resolve.  Here is an example.  Let's say that you want to use Classic Chrome simulation.  Do the following: Complete your color grade and use a CST to get to Rec 709. Add a node.  Use a CST to convert from Rec 709 to FLog2.  Output Color space is Rec 2020 and Outout Gamut is FLog2. Add a node.  Apply the FLog2 to Classic Chrome LUT Create a combination node from node in steps 2 and 3. Apply a Key to the combination node and adjust the Key Output Gain to get the amount of the combination node that you want applied. So that you do not have to do this over and over again, generate a LUT for the combination node.  Remember to turn off all other nodes before generating the LUT. Hope this helps others. Don

      Thanks for the insights. I think it's really hard to make a decision without having the two side by side!

      I don’t have the 23 f2 but I have read several times that it is considered a little soft at close distance, compared to the 23 f1.4 lenses. These will also focus at shorter distance from the subject, esp. the new one. So that might make a difference. The new 23 f1.4 LM WR  has better resolution, esp. in regard to the 40Mpix sensors, which you don’t have on the X-T2. What practical difference that makes for the value of the pictures one makes is disputable and subjective.  f1.4 will gather more light but with a smaller DOF, which may be desirable in some situations but not so in others, depends. If you like to shoot close ups, you will probably use higher f numbers to get a bigger DOF. Same for landscapes. If you are a bokeh fan, yes the f1.4 lens are better.  The older 23 f1.4 lens that you are considering is a very good and respected lens. The f1.4 vs f2 aperture per se is perhaps not so important. The 23 f2 is very small, light and practical and a great lens for travel and landscapes. So, go figure. I am afraid I just sent you further down the road to insanity !

      First post here but long time fuji shorter. I use the XT2 with the 23mm f2 / 35mm 1.4 / 16-80mm f4 I'm considering the 23mm f1.4 r (Non-WR) About me: - I shoot black and white only. - I like macro details to wide open landscapes and everything in-between. - I shoot mostly for art, intrigue and creativity of the image. My question - is the 23mm f1.4 going to offer me any meaningful difference over the f2 for the above scenarios Thanks and sorry for bringing it up again...
