Fuji XT5 quick test


Drew Eden

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

I tried the Fuji XT5 in the store in London at the weekend.

I was pushed for time so tried a couple of test shots, I plugged my own SD card in to check later.

I had the 18mm f1.4 lens on and took some test shots at 500s, ISO 200, f1.4

They seem a little noisy to me though ? I'm wondering if it might have been another setting on the XT5 I got wrong ?

Maybe I'm being fussy, I focussed on the bottom right hand side of the monitor on the far wall.

I didn't make any changes to this image I just exported it from C1.

 

The 2nd image (darker one) is for comparison and is from my leica Q, 28mm f1.7 500s ISO 200

 

Any ideas ?

First thing that comes to mind with limited knowledge of the settings is my hunch blames the glass not the body. Can you share more info? AF vs MF, what else could you tell was turned on or off? Not much to go by here. The X-T5 is a top tier camera body and you might think a shop would have a perfectly working model for use for sales purposes.

Hi, that's part of the issue, I didn't have much time to spend in the shop as we were headed to a show. Auto focus for a couple of quick snaps. The images here are exported from C1 in Instagram format, 300 x 1080.

The original jpg files are all 7728 x 5152 which suggest they are Large3:2

The lens is the new 18mm f1.4 which gets great reviews. Weird really.

Body has v2.0 firmware according to C1.

I'd love to see similar captures with the same combo. I'm convinced it must be something I've missed. I should have set the camera to capture jpg and raw.

If you didn't shoot in RAW and only have JPEGs to look at, it's quite possible the grain setting was on. This might be reflected in the EXIF data of the JPEG. Not sure if C1 would show it but if you load it up in Fuji X RAW Studio, you should be able to see it under GRAIN EFFECT.

I think you are correct. 5 mins in the shop isn't enough time to get used to the new camera. I got this shot the other day in Berlin. This is SOOC 📷

    • 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.

    • 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
    • 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.

    • 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.
