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.

      Transfer X-T5 for PC wi fi...

      Grzegorz, Go to the Networking Setting in your camera menu (the last one at the bottom - unless you have a My Menu then that is the last one). There, go to Network Setting and choose the SSID (name) of your WiFi network, type in the password, choose "SET". If you have a functioning DHCP server on your network, the camera should get its IP address (and Subnet_Mask and Gateway). If not, you can enter these manually. It is a little tricky, there will be some zeros already here, move the cursor after the zero and use DEL to delete it and make space in the input fields for your own correct values. If you do not know what to enter, have a look at values in the network settings of your computer and use the same except for the IP address, try some fairly higher number, hopefully you hit an unused one. Usually the values would be something like IP: 192.168.1.188, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, Gateway IP: 192.168.1.1  or something like that, take clues from your computer. The camera and computer must be on the same network. Then in Connection Mode on the camera, choose Wireless Tethering Fixed. And half-press the shutter to exit the menu and get in shooting mode. The red LED should be blinking. If you can look at your network devices, e.g. on your router, you should see the camera there. You can see check the camera settings in the camera menu in the INFORMATION item of the Network Setting menu to see the MAC address of your camera and look for it in the list of devices on your network.  Then use the tethering in your software, e.g. in Capture One. The camera may not show immediately, take a shot and then it should show in the list of available cameras. Good luck. Report back how did you fare.  PS If you have a Windows machine, you need to have Bonjour installed and running. Macs have it.

      Problem with multi exposure on XT5

      By George_P · Posted

      What GordW said. You have to put the drive mode dial to "S" - Single Frame. If you have it on CL, CH, BKT or Panorama (or HDR), the Multiple Exposure option will be greyed out in the shootng menu. On my X-T5 it works in RAW + JPG and also in JPG only. When Multiple Exposure is switched on, the image quality cannot be set to RAW only. If it was set to RAW only before switching Multiple Exposure On, image quality defaults to RAW+Fine. The result is JPG. After each shot press MENU/OK and after the last one press DISP/BACK.

      Switch On/Off error message constant with 32-64.

      By Scott Walker · Posted

      I also experienced this today with the GFX50r and the 32-64 . It always happens around f11-f16 at the 64mm end if I pull back slightly say to 60mm it doesn’t happen. Very annoying. I updated the camera and lens firmware it still occurs. Is Fuji aware of this problem.
