Fuji X-Pro1 eye sensor view mode problem

Hi to all,

 

I would ask for help if somebody is/was familiar with my case with the camera. In "eye sensor mode", when I shoot via LCD, if camera looks up, horizontal, or only a bit down, it switches by itself from lcd to viewfinder. No metter OVF or EVF, standard or custom display mode, and of course, my eyes are not even close to viewfinder at that time. I have tried it with my two lenses 35/1.4 and 18-55, still the same problem, so it must be up to the camera. In other two modes it works just fine with no issues.

 

Can someone give an advice about it.

 

Thank you so much.

It's not a problem. The eye sensor is only called that because you typically put your eye to the viewfinder. It's just s light sensor that when the ambient light drops a significant amount (like placing your eye to the viewfinder) it switches over for you. The sensor is just to the right of the OVF. You can cover it with your finger and make it switch.

Thank you Nathan for your answer, but I still have a problem. I would like to have that option to work corectly, and I do not know if I have change some setting without knowing that or it is a failure in the camera. I want to use it in that mode without any issue, meaning, when I shoot looking trough LCD I want it that way, when I need viewfinder then to shoot it that way, if camera switch by itself from lcd to viewfinder while I am trying to capture the image focus and take a shoot.... then something is wrong, and it was just fine during first year of having it.

 

Once again, thank you so much and cheers.

If it helps at all I had the exact same thing happen to me a couple of months ago, and like you it went away by itself. I speculated at the time (to myself!) that it might have had something to do with the particular lighting or reflections etc in the place I was shooting at that time, since it plagued me the whole time I was there regardless of switching on/off, pulling battery etc, to the point where the only solution was to turn the eye sensor off and switch manually - but as soon as I got out of there it was gone and everything was back to normal.

 

Like you, I was putting nothing anywhere near the eye sensor, no straps cutting across it, anything like that, but just pointing the camera up and down was enough to trip it from LCD to EVF continually. Weird and annoying when it happens.

      Infrared Photography on X-E2 665nm

      By Neil Rosenberg · Posted

      I'm not exaggerating when I say that I have searched with great vigor (and at great expense) for a way to capture IR images with a Fujifilm camera for which I didn't have to use major amounts of sharpening to bring out the best. Zooms, primes, Fuji, Tamron, Viltrox, Sigma, Zeiss ... probably 20 lenses all told. Plus multiple IR converted Fuji cameras, X-T1, X-T3, X-T5. I even tried different ways of filtering IR, such as using the Kolari clip-ins and lens-mounted front filters. I was ready to give up until I almost accidentally tried one of the cheapest lenses out there -- the little TTArtisan 27mm F2.8. No hotspots that I could see, and best of all ABSOLUTELY SUPERB SHARPNESS across the entire frame. It's this attribute that I search for, and until now, never achieved. In my prior attempts, I listened to the advice from the "pundits", picking up a copy of the venerable Fuji 14mm F2.8, the Zeiss Touitt 12mm F2.8, Fuji 23 and 35mm F2.0, even the very similar 7Artisans 27mm F2.8, and none of them come even close to the TTArtisan for edge sharpness in infrared. Incidentally, I'm using a Kolari 720nm clip-in filter. Sure the TT has its issues -- vignetting at 2.8, tendency to flare with sunlight nearby, but all in all, this lens is glued to my X-T5 for now. This image was taken hand-held with this lens -- completely unedited!

      Screen is flipped with fan001

      By Tschortschli · Posted

      Hy there When Im using the fan001 on the XH2s and I flip the LCD Screen vertically by 180 degrees then the image flips vertically, what is good but it also flips horizontally. The clean feed on HDMI is not flipping horizontally but its also flipping if the HDMI output info display is on. When I unmount the fan then the image flips only vertically. My firmware is updated to the latest version. Any ideas if there is a fix for that?

      In reply to the original question, it all depends on what you mean by infrared.  If you mean "see thermal information", then I agree with the comments here.  However, if you mean near-infrared, the X-T4, or basically any digital camera can be modified to "see" it.  Check out Lifepixel.com and Kolarivision.com for more info. As regards lenses, I'm not exaggerating when I say that I have searched with great vigor (and at great expense) for a way to capture IR images with a Fujifilm camera for which I didn't have to use major amounts of sharpening to bring out the best.

      No - I don’t think so - it means you can take pictures if you remove the lens completely - but I’m not sure that is a problem

      XS10 and manual lenses

      By mcewena · Posted

      I bought a manual lens over xmas and it took me a while to find the "shutter w/o lens" function in the menu settings.  So far I haven't found a way to either put that on the Q menu or marry that setting to one of the 4 custom modes.   Am I missing something? Is there a problem if I just leave that setting enabled even when the OEM auto lens is in place? tia
