S-Speed not displayed in Aperture Priority

Hi there,

Long time viewer of this forum, first time post.

 

I may have a problem with my new X-T2. I also currently own an X100s and X-Pro2.

 

When setting the camera to aperture priority with Auto ISO the camera display fails to show the shutter speed it's selecting with half-depressed shutter button. This is with the option for aperture/ISO/s-speed selected in the display customisation window ticked (I've even cycled the option to see if it engages, and note once ticked you are supposed to get all three, not just two). Both the X-Pro2 and the X100s previewed the anticipated shutter speed in this mode. Fairly important information in Aperture Priority and seems more of a bug than something forgotten since page 67 also details the Aperture priority screen with shutter speed visible.

 

Or am I'm missing something?

 

Cheers

Nick

Love the camera BTW.

You're probably in DR Auto mode.

 

Change your DR mode to 100%, and that should sort you out.

 

edit: just saw that you're not even getting SS even when half-pressing shutter release. that's definitely not normal.

 

sounds like you need to factory reset.

Nick, I don't think it has anything to do with the DR mode, it's probably a menu selection, difficult to track down. When viewing a picture does the SS show when viewing the picture details?

 

But yes a "Setup Reset" should sort it out! You may also try to contact Fujifilm Support, in the UK they are very good at responding to queries.

 

If you do find the reason be sure to let us all know, good luck!

Solved.

Santtu, you're on the money.

When the Shutter AE option is off, the anticipated shutter speed is no longer displayed. Switch it on, and there it is!

Just to confirm, toggling Auto ISO or Dynamic Range setting didn't change the display of the shutter speed. Great advice though.

 

You'd think that this being my third Fujifilm camera I'd be able to identify that.

Thanks for everyone's kind and patient input.

Regards

Nick

I have checked several times and when in Aperture priority and in auto ISO and before pressing the shutter button the SS is not shown, but half press the shutter button and the SS appears. Take the ISO dial off auto the the SS is shown. That is what happens on my X-T2 and the screen/VF is showing the max ISO and not the ISO at the point of taking the shot! Am I missing something here?

May I ask why you switched off ae-lock in the first place? I know many do this because they read somewhere that "it's recommended", but I find it quite the opposite.

 

Unless you are shooting prolonged bursts of moving subjects or rapidly changing lighting conditions, I suggest you keep this on. You can always switch it off if you find yourself shooting those subjects, but afterwards I'd always put it back to on.

 

I think the whole "this is recommended" thing comes from sports or wildlife shooters who most likely will want to keep this off most of the time. But for all other shooting needs, I fail to see the benefit. (same goes for backbutton focus, try giving your camera to a stranger and having to explain bbf to them...).

I shoot a lot of concerts and on stage light is changing constantly and dramatically, and usually I use center af point to focus and reframe or even, using af-c, lock focus on a musician and wait for right moment or expression on his face. So while I do all that, lighting may have changed completely and with locked ae exposure will be completely off, so it's better for me when camera constantly picking right exposure, even while autofocusing.

I've seen shutter AE referred to here, but I'm new to Fuji and don't understand if this refers to the AE-L button or the AE/AF-LOCK MODE setting in the menu, or the INTERLOCK SPOT AE & FOCUS AREA setting in the menu. 

I think I'm having the same issue: I have a manual lens on my X-T1 and cannot seem to get the camera to show me which shutter speed or ISO it's choosing.

As of 2023 AutoDR is the culprit….same on all my fuji cameras, all formats, all with current firmware versions. Switch Auto Dynamic Range OFF and all settings selected automatically by the camera are displayed in the viewfinder during shutter half-press…including aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.  It’s a strange phenomenon in my opinion but a fair compromise, even if you rely on jpegs and can live with DR200 option rather than AutoDR

      Charing battery inside the X-H2 over USB

      By Tomek666 · Posted

      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.

      How to turn OFF the wifi antenna

      By jerryy · Posted

      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.

      Sigma 500mm F4 + XH2S?

      By Stogursey · Posted

      I think my Fuji 150-600 F8 is a brilliant wildlife lens in terms of sharpness, portability and value but the small aperture does cause issues at the start and end of the day - even pushing the ISO as far as I dare, I can see shutter speed down to 1/25s - stabilisation isn't an issue but asking a deer to stand still for that is too much! In the same situation, an F4 would give 1/100s so the difference to the success rate would be phenomenal... and that's without the other improvements like shallower depth of field. I also find that the Fuji's subject detect AF gets pretty iffy in low light - I keep updating to the latest firmware but it doesn't seem to get any better. I was originally looking at the Nikon 500mm F4 E but good examples secondhand are still reasonably expensive but like-for-like Sigma lenses are around half the price. Reviews I have read suggest that they are as good optically, AF performance and IS-wise but you gain a few hundred grams of weight (but less than the older Nikon model). For a couple of grand, I can live with that. Does anyone have any experience mounting one on an XH2S? What about with the 1.4 teleconverter? It feels like that is pushing it anyway - hefty lens + TC + Fringer all sounds a bit...wobbly? It is on the Fringer approved list but I am wary about AF speed in particular. I had also considered looking for a used Nikon 400mm F2.8, which would be even faster (and heavier) and could couple with a TC to give 560mm F4 but again, it is that lens+TC+Fringer combination that worries me as being just too many links in the chain. Of course, what I really want is a native Fuji prime but that doesn't seem to be on the horizon - and if you look at what Nikon and Sony are doing, if Fuji do ever bring out a 500mm prime, it will probably be a small, light and cheapish F5.6, which is only 2/3 stop better than my zoom at the same focal length. Any thoughts anyone?

      How to turn OFF the wifi antenna

      By Greybeard · Posted

      The Amazon link is an annoying feature of this forum - its automatic and is applied to every post for advertising purposes. My question was - how do you know the camera wi-fi is on and requires turning off? I would have thought this would just use up the battery for no purpose if you aren't specifically using a function that requires wi-fi.
