Unable to set my XT30 to P mode, but able to switch M & A

[Bachu]

Hi,

I am using XT30 I could work with manual mode but when I tried to move to P & S mode I faced issues with my 18-135 lens(tried only with this though).

I tried following the steps in this video.

I switched shutter speed dial to A, when I tried to switch the Aperture to A mode I got below in the screen, F>< ISO Set  (attached).

Any clue why I am unable to set P mode?

Did you move the lever (below the shutter speed dial) to Auto?

The person in the video you list does say to do that, but his mention is very brief, more of an off-hand remark from which he then jumps to explaining how to set other cameras up that it would be easily missed.

p.s. Welcome to the forum.

Hi Bachu,

Have you found a solution to your problem? I have the same issue at the moment with my x-t30ii.

But I found out, that when you set the Aperture to A (auto) (e.g. at the lens) and the shutter speed to user-selected. Then you can rotate the front command dial (the wheel in the front of the camera) (if its set to F (Aperture)) all the way up, then the mode changes to S (Shutter Priority).

Now leave the mode in S and only change the shutter speed to A (auto) and now the mode changes to P.

Hope this helps.
