Hello,

I am facing a problem with my X-T2.

When shooting at night and when the shutter is half pressed I see the image on the screen and I expect the image I’ll get to be the same but when I go back and look at my shot I see the image is under exposed. I don’t know by how many stops but it’s definitely a lot darker than what I saw when I was taking the shot. 

I don’t understand it and it’s extremely frustrating. 

Any tip will be much appreciated. 

Thanks

The screen has its own brightness and preview settings which you can change in the setup menu. By default the screen settings make sure that you see something on the screen in all environments including dark rooms. To make sure you‘re getting the correct exposure independently from the screen preview watch the exposure meter on the screen.

Go to the menu, then the wrench/spanner, screen set-up, and Preview Exp/Wb in Manual Mode, so turn that on. You can adjust the aperture, shutter speed, and iso from there, then what you see is what you get. Or you can turn it off, and if you are in low light or in the dark, everything you see will be brighter on screen. Or something along those lines. Its hard to explain.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By Giampaolo Masserano · Posted

      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.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      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.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By jerryy · Posted

      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.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      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.
