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

      X100V - How to retain menu position?

      By LauzunLee · Posted

      Is there a way to keep your menu selection on the last option you used? For example.  When I select MENU the cursor defaults to MY Menu.  I scroll up to IQ settings, make a change, and return to shooting. When I press the MENU button again the cursor is back to MY Menu.  I really want it to stay on the IQ setting I was last using (or any other Menu setting). It's a PITA to keep scrolling up and down, back to the previous setting.  (Note.  My Canon Menu retains the position of the last option I was using). Thanks in advance for any help.

      Photos on Angelbird AV Pro SX 160GB vs SE 512GB

      By Tomek666 · Posted

      Im not partal to any brad, just opted to try these based on apparent price / performance.  I'm always looking for best bang per buck, hence Fuji I guess - haha Reliabilty does not concern me, as I always shoot to two cards for pro work (and burst shooting is not a part of that). Made sense for me to get the cheapest / fastest CF cards for hobby shooting.     I just got a Sabrent Rocket V60 512GB cheep (as the back-up card).   As long as neither of these freeze the camera I hope its a cheep solution for my needs. (AB AV Pro SE 512Gb and Sabrent Rocket V60 512GB).  Half a gig of redunat storge for $200USD is something I can live with. (Especially considering I can bust the hell out of the Anglebird). Cheers, Tomek

      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.
