Hi.

Just bought my first camera, xt-5. Maby not the easiest first camera, but I take my time. Maby I will ask more questions later in this topic.

Can u control the zoom of the lens with the camera somehow or is it always manual zoom on the lens?

 

I love to zoom, so I bought a 150-600mm lens(also hane16-80mm and tamron 18-300). If I buy a teleconverter x2, how bad will the picture outcome be? Or will it be decent for an amateur?

Is there any teleconverter that works with both 150-600 and tamron 18-300?

Have a good day...

I'm new to the XT5 myself but one of the beautiful things about the XT line is that you can place everything on Auto, then adjust want you want from that starting point.  I think of Auto as the sensors trying to get a clear image.  Its up to you to decide what you want to highlight or create a certain affect.

I'm not sure if there are motorized Zoom lenses but at least most of them are not.  If you love seeing loads of detail then zoom away.  But realize that you will be compressing your field of view the more magnification you use.  So its trickier to nail focus where you want it.  Of course lots of magnification will also also magnify any mistakes in exposure, focus, and camera shake.  Just start shooting, you will see.

      Afraid to purchase x-t4 or 5

      I'm four months in and love my X-T5, no problems at all.  For me it came down to format choice, APSC.  The brand choice became Sony or Fuji as Canon lens selection seems lacking.  Then read up strengths and weaknesses of the two.  But physically looking at the camera made the difference.  I have XL hands and the Sony actually felt too small to hold.  I preferred Fuji handling but the big difference was the dials.  I could see how to adjust ISO, aperture, and shutter speed without instruction.  Took me back to days of shooting film.  I just wanted to use it.  I don't like wading through menus and I don't have to with this camera.  It has a ton of features I haven't used but I appreciate that I can go out and have fun, taking great stills, and learning the advanced stuff at a very slow pace.  I've only shot a couple videos and have no idea what to do with the histogram.  I'm not sure I care, love the camera.  As for 4 vs. 5, that's hard to say.  I don't want to video of myself so I prefer the tilt screen on the 5.  The resolution increase isn't a bad thing, I trim my shots quite of bit and more res helps with that.  I kinda wanted the latest and hopefully greatest.  But if the dollar savings is enough to help out your lens budget then go for it.

      Here is a short segment explaining some good and bad things about each of the shutter types Fujifilm uses. https://fujifilm-x.com/en-us/exposure-center/types-of-shutters/ Your X-T10 does not have all of the different types, but give each of those it does have a try and see if you like them. Enjoy your new camera!

      Like others have stated, it happens and can happen to any brand make or model. All industries are subject. I have had my X-T5 for 2 months and it is perfect. I come from Canon FF both EF and RF and Nikon for analog, all companies and segments with incredibly high QC rates. This Fuji is the same, from mechanical to software, top marks.  If you look for negative reviews, you will find them. Complainers are 10x more likely to voice an opinion than those satisfied.

      Electronic shutter can cause image defects like rolling shutter and banding. It's best to use mechanical shutter as a general default, and use electronic shutter when mechanical shutter isn't an option, like where using shutter speeds faster than what the mechanical shutter allows, when needing to be silent, or when doing time lapse photography to save the mechanical shutter (if appropriate).

      Sorry if this sounds dumb but should I use Mechanical or Electronic Shutter when to use one or other?
