Hello, got a problem with my XT2 (very recent, of course) + 18-55 + new "S" battery: the image in the viewfinder or on the screen becomes (without doing anything) very jerky after a few seconds. Switching to Boost mode seems to fix the problem. Same with grip (using 2 XT1 batteries) ; I also have to be in grip-Boost mode for apparently fixing the problem. Is this a normal behavior?

Note: It does not happen with my XT1 and its non-S batteries !

Thanks in advance for your replies and comments.

Hi,

 

this is normal, it's a battery power saving implementation so no need to worry, it's not a fault.

Many thanks for your comment ; it does not happen with my xt1, it then seems to mean that the basic battery consumption in the xt2 is very important. In fact, the camera is quite hot after a one hour non-stop use (please excuse my poor "french guy " english !)

Bonjour! I found the same thing but I was shooting in a very dark venue so thought it was related to that. I switched to boost mode and no problems after that but the camera got quite warm over the 2-3 hours of shooting (with battery grip). I don't remember ever seeing this issue (or the really warm camera) when shooting with my X-T1 at least to the same degree. For what it's worth I was using my old batteries, not the newer ones (I only have the one that came with the camera).

I have exactly the same configuration.... and the same problems (or are they just normal behavior ?)

This is normal for the X-T2, after about 8 to 10 seconds of no use the refresh rate will drop way down to conserve battery power. If you half press the shutter it will go back to full refresh rate. Also, I believe if you use boost mode it will not do this(Or it at least greatly lengthens the time at which it goes into power saving mode.

 

Here is a video describing it.

      gimbals (& threads getting spammed)

      By jshire · Posted

      Hi, I'm researching a gimbal to get someone as a present & they use a Fuji XS-10. I did a quick search of previous threads on gimbals but all of them seem to either get no replies or spammed by a link to an Amazon list. I'd appreciate any comments from folks who've actually used specific gimbals with the XS-10. I'm aware that some, such as certain models from Zhiyun, DJI & FeiyuTech either don't say that they are fully compatible with the XS-10 but other sites say they do work ok but some functions don't. It's quite difficult to work out which functions work & which don't. Thanks.

      A portrait with a 28mm lens

      By DavidJohn · Posted

      This was snapped during a lunch.  Total shooting time—a few seconds. We so often read that a proper "portrait" should be snapped with a longer than normal lens, a low ISO to get lots of detail, and have a soft light held up above the head, and slightly to the side. The key, in my opinion, is always carry a camera.  Have your camera available to capture candid, authentic photographs.  Available light, no posing.   This portrait used 2000 ISO, the lens wide open at f4, and 1/100 sec. to stop any movement.  I didn't even take time to compose—I just snapped.  I leave the "Face Detection" on unless I'm photographing a landscape or subject other than a person. The GFX100RF has the equivalent of a 28mm lens.  The large sensor renders fine detail even at fairly high ISO ratings.  And the drawing of the lens is just perfect in my opinion.  It was set to B & W, with slightly reduced sharpness and clarity (set in-camera).  Ideal for "portraits."  Now, for some subjects I will likely increase the sharpness and clarity to the normal setting.  The camera is new, and I'm still experimenting with it.
