Hi there,

 

after some consideration, I finally got the X-T10 for my girlfriend.

She's happy so far with the camera, though the main issue she's going through is the EVF.

Out on the field, especially in sunny day, the lack of an extended eye cup it's very annoying.

I've looked for an eye cup but I couldn't find anything specifically for this camera.

Except for an adapter and a X-T1, the latter won't fit.

 

Any suggestion?

By the way,i just ordered this, and he indicated he now has the version that does not block the eye sensor. So be sure to ask for that version.

 

Can you please give an update when you receive the new adapter? I actually stumbled onto that when looking for a solution to the terrible eyecup design on the X-T10 and would like to know how it turns out. I'm curious how far it sticks out and how much of the LCD screen it blocks. I was also wondering if other smaller eyecups could be adapted. I like the fact that I can slip the camera into my hoodie pocket but the DK-19 is pretty big. I've read that there are issues with tilting the screen as well as the view through the adapter getting in the way of the corners of the viewfinder.

The "new" model does not block the eye sensor.  My guess is that it sticks out abut 3/4" and only obscures about 1/4', in a half-moon shape, at the top of the LCD.  No issues with the tilting screen if you pull it out from the bottom.  I can do more accurate measurements if wanted and a picture as well.  Too late to do that tonight.

Yes anymore information regarding the new adapter and pictures would be great. Which eyecup are you using with the adapter?

The combination of the shapeways adapter and the Nikon eyecup.  Images attached, taken in a hurry.

Hey sorry for the delay in getting back to you.  I received the version with the cutout for the eye sensor, and I'm pretty pleased.  The assembly isn't quite as snug as I'd like, but given the amount of material to work with on the camera body, it's fine.  The eye sensor appears to work normally, and the Nikon eye cup really helps to block out sunlight in bright conditions.  I'd say it's definitely worth the money.

 

As another poster stated, using the articulating screen can be a little difficult with the eye cup mounted, but it is still usable.  Just have to be careful not to pop the cup assembly off with the screen.

      pocket wizard and XT5?

      By LBAbrams · Posted

      Has anyone successfully used pocket wizards with an XT5? I cannot get it to fire.  Do Fujis and pocket wizards get along? Thanks in advance for your wisdom on this, kind readers!

      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.

      X-T30 II Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display viewmode not working

      By grizzski · Posted

      Hey all, I just got my first camera. The X-T30 II. It seems the Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display view-mode is doing the exact same thing as just the Eye Sensor view-mode setting. Any ideas why this is or what's supposed to be happening? Firmware Version: 2.04

      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.
