There's a new Lock setting that can be used to lock all controls i.e the camera's dials and buttons, or a selected set of those dials and buttons. You can assign the Lock feature to a function button but as far as I can tell you have to go back into the menus to unlock the controls - it's not a toggle.

 

Which is a pain. Fuji, please fix.

Agreed. Would to perfect if it is a toggle lock and unlock.

I set up the fn button next to the exposure comp dial to lock exposure comp.  When I press it I get the choice to lock the selected function or all functions.  If I choose lock selected function, I can then go back in using the fn button to unlock the selected function, but if I choose Lock all functions, I cannot go back in through the fn button.  I have to go back in through the menu.  

 

After a little experimenting I found that you can select as many functions as you like in the select functions menu and then lock and unlock them by using the fn button you have setup without going into the menu system to unlock.

 

Just make sure that when you choose your selected functions you do not choose the fn button that you are going to be using to lock and unlock.  I accidentally did this while experimenting and was scratching my head as to why I couldn't unlock the selected functions with the fn button.  Like a dummy it took me a couple of minutes to realize I was locking the very fn button that I had chosen of the lock/unlock function.  That is why if you choose lock all functions you cannot unlock them without going into the menu because you have inadvertently locked the fn button you have chosen for the unlock function.  

 

If you really want to lock everything and still not go into the menu system to unlock everything, simply choose every function in the lock selected menu besides the actual fn button you have set for the lock function and you are good to go.

Didn't fix any of the bugs that bug me though... :(

 

Which makes me wonder, do we have any official way of communicating all the bugs to Fujifilm? Or maybe even any beta test program?

 

FYI, I can read and write Japanese, so I can help with interacting with Japanese support department if necessary.

This new plugin, Tether Shooting Plug-in PRO version 1.3, may be buggy. I paid for the new version, and it shows on "Acquired" on my Adobe Add-ons page. But have been unable to install it either via the Creative Cloud, (it doesn't appear on the activity stream) or via the Adobe Extension Manager. The Extension Manager freezes when trying to install the version 1.3 of the Fujifilm Tether Shooting Plug-in PRO. W

    • Thank you. I will research it.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • Typically you need to make sure the lens is compatible with the camera, i.e. check the lens compatibility charts for your camera, then make sure the respective firmwares are updated so older issues are resolved. After that, each lens has a manufacturer’s profile which will be embedded into the raw file meta data for the images captured using that lens. From there, it is up to the raw conversion software to apply the lens correction to the image. Different converters do that differently, some automatically, some only if a setting is turned on. For in-camera jpegs, the on-board converter does the corrections automatically, assuming the camera recognizes the lens, it applies a generic profile otherwise. I do not know if that can be turned off or not.
    • How does one make sure that Fuji's image correction is turned on to correct barrel and pin-cushion distortion on a GFX 100 or GFX100S when using the GF20-35? Is it only applied to the jpegs and not to the raw files? (I was surprised to discover the barrel distortion on the GF 35-70mm lens.) I normally shoot in raw with jpeg back-up and use the raw files, which I convert either in Affinity Photo 2 when editing with that program or in Raw File Converter Ex 3.0 by Silkypix if I wish to process the image in Photoshop CS6. (Adobe DNG is also a possibility.) Thank you for the help. Trevor
