Adjust Aperture/Speed in Automatic mode

Hi all, I am new to Fuji and I am still learning the camera UI.

Ideally I would like to keep the Aperture and Shutter Speed to AUTO and act on two things:

1) Adjust Exposure Compensation using the front dial.

2) Adjust the Aperture/Shutter Speed combination using the thumb dial. (while always respecting the exposure compensation I set)

Now I am able to do 1) but I am not able to do 2) to tweak the aperture or shutter speed while in automatic.

I know I can set the SS dial to T, but I don't like that since it doesn't always ensure the exposure I set.

Is it possible to do this kind of setup?

Thanks in advance,

Paolo

I do not think you will have much success trying to change the shutter speed or aperture while those settings are set to auto. The auto setting tells the the camera to attempt to get the exposure as close as possible to an ideal setting, so it takes control of the parts that are in “auto” mode and adjusts them accordingly.

What will work is Aperture Priority, where you set a f-stop and the camera picks a shutter speed (ss is set to A), or Shutter Priority, where you set a shutter speed and the camera picks a f-stop (aperture is set to A). In either case, if you have set the ISO to auto, the camera will also adjust the ISO within the upper and lower limits you put in the setup menus. I am not quickly recalling which auto settings are acted on in which order. You can overide these some with the exposure compensation dial.

p.s. Welcome to the forum.

Shutter Priority is what the Canon world calls Tv mode, similarly, Aperture Priority is the same as Av mode.

Depending on how you set up the command dials you can use them to change the shutter speed / f-stop similar to the index finger control dial on some Canon cameras.

How did you have your camera set-up? There are a lot of ways to adapt those methods over to your new camera.

edit: Sometimes leaning on what is familiar helps you learn the new, sometimes it holds you back from trying the new.

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By PoorAlchemist · Posted

      I found the reddit topic i refere to :  https://www.reddit.com/r/davinciresolve/comments/1pc3f1e/cant_apply_new_fujifilm_gfx_55_lut/ "Update for y'all, It's just like what @ExpBalSat said, it's because of the backslashes in the names break them. I changed the file name and it works now. "   For me it was the solution. Realy annoying if it doesn’t work for you 😕

      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...
