I've posted on these forums before, so I'm not a forum newbie, but I am a newbie to Fuji cameras as I finally pulled the trigger and bought a used X-T1 last night (real good deal on the graphite version as well!).

 

I'm a hobbyist using a Canon 7D and a bunch of zoom lenses.  Unfortunately, I just found that I wasn't using my camera as much as I would like, hearing myself make the excuse of "too much gear to carry" and "too heavy to carry around all the time".  So I began investigating other options and came across Fuji cameras around a year ago.  At first I was wanting the X-Pro 1, but having gotten so use to DSLR's and feeling more comfortable with a camera that had some weather sealing (I live on the coast of Scotland, so rain, wind and dust are a big deal to me...but I know that there are those who say WR isn't needed), I opted for the X-T1.

 

And the graphite X-T1 because it's pretty.  There.  I said it.  :)

 

I'm off to Canada next month and will need to pick up a lens or two, but I'm waiting first to see what deals (and announcements from Fuji) there are.  Definitely getting the silver 35mm F2 (anyone have pics of what silver after-market metal vented hoods look like on this lens?) as I like that focal length and figure that would be a good introduction to primes. 

 

The next lens on my radar is the 16mm (I want to stick with WR) for landscapes.  If Fuji came out with a smaller, WR, F2 version....well....I'd be all over that!

 

Anyhow, that's me.

      X100V - How to retain menu position?

      By LauzunLee · Posted

      Is there a way to keep your menu selection on the last option you used? For example.  When I select MENU the cursor defaults to MY Menu.  I scroll up to IQ settings, make a change, and return to shooting. When I press the MENU button again the cursor is back to MY Menu.  I really want it to stay on the IQ setting I was last using (or any other Menu setting). It's a PITA to keep scrolling up and down, back to the previous setting.  (Note.  My Canon Menu retains the position of the last option I was using). Thanks in advance for any help.

      Photos on Angelbird AV Pro SX 160GB vs SE 512GB

      By Tomek666 · Posted

      Im not partal to any brad, just opted to try these based on apparent price / performance.  I'm always looking for best bang per buck, hence Fuji I guess - haha Reliabilty does not concern me, as I always shoot to two cards for pro work (and burst shooting is not a part of that). Made sense for me to get the cheapest / fastest CF cards for hobby shooting.     I just got a Sabrent Rocket V60 512GB cheep (as the back-up card).   As long as neither of these freeze the camera I hope its a cheep solution for my needs. (AB AV Pro SE 512Gb and Sabrent Rocket V60 512GB).  Half a gig of redunat storge for $200USD is something I can live with. (Especially considering I can bust the hell out of the Anglebird). Cheers, Tomek

      Charing battery inside the X-H2 over USB

      By Tomek666 · Posted

      Would using an external charger be of benefit to the batteries life? I appreace it can be faster, but I doin't mind pluging in the camera over USB to charge. Does charging via the camera do as good a job as lets say the fuji's own external charger? Does the camera stop charging once the battry is full and not over charge? I couldn't find these deatails in these forums or in the manual. Thank you!   Image below shot on X-T2 in a sunny studio.

      How to turn OFF the wifi antenna

      By jerryy · Posted

      It is really easy to find out if the wifi is on. Your computer or tablet or cell phone will have a network settings dealing with wifi, bluetooth, ethernet or “other”. Open that up and go into the section for wifi, and take note of which networks are listed. Turn on the camera and keep watching the list of networks. If your camera’s wifi is turned on, a new network should suddenly show up in your computer/tablet/phone’s network listings. Now go into the camera’s menus and start a wireless connection (the x-app or camera remote app can help you with this). You should see a network show up now. It is not hidden because it has to be visible so that your computer/tablet/phone can join the camera’s network to transfer images. Turn the camera off and that network should disappear. Turn the camera back on and see what happens.
