With electronic shutter eliminating the mechanical wear penalty of time lapse, it would be amazing to capture some long and smooth time lapses.  My 64 GB SD card can fit almost 10k Fine JPEGs.  Then I see the 999 shot limit.  This is just dumb.

 

I've found some subject matter that looks jittery if you spread out more than 2 seconds per shot.  That gives you a whole 33 minutes of realtime.  Almost useless for time lapse.  I don't understand the limit.  Enough screen space for the UI.  Implement it with one digit scrolling like the time.  It would take a whole 4 more bits to store the value.  Which is free because they are already 16 bit intergers already, I'm sure.   The only thing I can figure is that Fuji wanted to limit the exposure count in case someone is using mechanical shutter.  But you could force electronic to be enables to unlock the higher digit or something.

 

Running electronic shutter gives you such a wide range of exposures that you can have a great full sun through night transition with 1/32000 through 1 sec of exposure.  

 

Is there any way to get past the 999 limit of shots without resorting to an external device?

I have an XT1, and sometimes it goes past the 999 limit, I have no idea why, or what I am doing to make it do so...

Does anyone know what the remote shutter release cable circuit is for the Super mini stereo jack? I have a remote shutter release (Meyin cheapy) for my GH2, however, although the X-T10 picks up I plugged a cable release in, the remote shutter release does not work with it, which leads me to believe the trip circuit is different to that of the GH2.

 

I've been unable to find a intervalometer for the X-T10 except for the RR-99, however that plug is a LOT less secure. I know there is a built in intervalometer, however this is useless once you want to combine the camera with a slider. The slider needs to control the shutter release.

 

Anyone know if Fujifilm technical is contactable directly regarding?

Alternatively, does anyone know if there is an API or the like which will allow a third party app to talk to the camera (releasing the shutter) via wireless?

    • I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.
    • I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results. 
    • Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.
    • Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.
