EVF frame rate --> without battery grip.

[MichaelAC]

Hi,

I remember to have read in one of the XT2 reviews, that the frame rate of the EVF can be set to 100 Hz even without the battery grip.
But - have forgotten, which of the many reviews.

 

Remark: Yes, I know - with battery grip you can turn on "Boost Mode" and then the frame rate is 100 Hz. All the reviews say this.

But one review said: even without the battery grip you can change the frame rate to 100 Hz.

 

Can anyone confirm this?

Thank you :-)

That's what Fuji says in the specs.

It's not that simple to confirm that claim w/o some kind of measurement setup, though. 

So in the end, most of us will have to trust that the numbers are correct.

Someone could make a video of the EVF with the 1000 fps mode of the Sony RX100 IV. Then we'd know exactly what it does.

There is a video out there that states there is also a "boost" mode in the cameras menu. Perhaps that does it?

[flysurfer]

We know there is a boost mode in the camera menu.

We also know what it is supposed to do.

However, we don't know if it's actually doing it.

It appears that the OP wants independent confirmation of the claim.

Thank you for all the feedback.

 

I didn't mean the "number 100", i.e. whether the claim of "100 Hz" is correct. So no measurement.

My question was re. the function: Is the function to switch the EVF to 100 Hz available even without the battery grip, or only with the grip?

 

@flysurfer: What is "... the boost mode in the camera menu ... supposed to do." ?
If it is supposed to switch to 100 Hz even w/o battery grip, this would be great. I believe Fuji that it will actually do it.

 I believe Fuji that it will actually do it.

 

 

So do I.
