Small point (newbie who might be going mad...)

Hello, 

Just recently got my X-T5 (which is lovely albeit blimmin' complicated!). I have got some basic settings on it and I'm now reading through the manual to make sure I at least know about everything.

One thing which is totally throwing me. In the manual it references the selector dial underneath the shutter speed control as being the "Metering Dial". This suggests that this dial would allow selection between things like spot metering, centre-weighted meeting, matrix, etc... right? This is confirmed in multiple places in the manual, see the attached screenshots. However on mine, this control -- unless I truly am going mad -- is only to switch between stills mode and video mode.

What is going on here?!

Thanks

Alastair

I believe you are looking at the X-T3 manual instead of the X-T5 manual.

X-T5: https://fujifilm-dsc.com/en/manual/x-t5/about_this_camera/parts/

See parts 4 and 19, which are the shutter speed dial (4) and the Still/Movie mode dial (19).

X-T3: https://fujifilm-dsc.com/en-int/manual/x-t3/about_this_camera/parts/index.html

Same numbers, but (19) is the Metering dial.

p.s. Welcome to the forum.

Thanks all. Jeepers - talk about a rookie error! Yep... I had Googled the X-T5 manual, Google returned me the X-T3 manual and they're so similar I didn't notice until I had driven myself crazy wondering why the difference between my camera and the book. I am so new to it I genuinely thought I must be missing something!

Sorry folks... bad start! I'll improve.

      X-H2s CF Express Type B write error

      By Chris Hughes · Posted

      Hi Greybeard Thanks for the reply Short answer..... I don't know for sure it's the Delkin that's the problem The camera reports Write Error Card 1 Have tried different combos of cards, and have experienced with both.

      X-H2s CF Express Type B write error

      By Greybeard · Posted

      Does the camera report the write errors? How do you know its the Delkin card that is the problem? Have you tried using the Delkin card on its own - do you still get errors? I have that exact same card and haven't had problems - but rarely shoot video. The only problem I've had thats remotely similar was with a particular combination of two cards in the two slots - either one was fine on its own - switching to a different card in slot 2 solved it.

      X-H2s CF Express Type B write error

      By Chris Hughes · Posted

      Hi, I hope someone can help. I use a Delkin Devices Black 150GB CF Express Type B card alongside a San Disk Extreme Pro SDXC 300MB/s 128GB in slot 2. We only shoot video, 4k, (normally 100mbit), and often get write errors to the Delkin card where the camera struggles to write to it, the camera can be stuck for up to a minute or so. If out on a days shoot this will happen 2 or 3 times. Up until 2 days ago the file was always written to both cards, (we backup to the SD card), but I had an instance where the file was not written, so very worrying! I have the latest firmware, but this is something that has happened on other firmwares too, and on another card too, which Delkin changed under their lifetime warranty. Anyone experienced anything similar? If so what was the outcome? What CFexpress Type B cards are you guys using, I'm going to buy another card today, but probably not Delkin.... Thanks for your help

      Mac Sequoia, X Raw Studio Issues

      Too late - I can live without X Raw Studio for a while - it makes you wonder how much testing Fujifilm carried out while Sequoia was in beta.

      16-55mm f2.8 stops camera from entering sleep mode

      By ContaxRTSII · Posted

      I have four Fujifilm body-XH2, XT30II, XS20 and XT50. Out of these four bodies only XT50 will enter sleep mode for the 16-55/2.8. The rest of the other three refuses to do so but works normally for other Fujifilm lens I have. Since the other three can do sleep mode (for other lens), I will rule out the possibility of menu setup issue. The 16-55/2.8 has the newest firmware 1.33 and it is most likely the reason of this weird issue. I remember it was fine before this 1.33 (August-2024 update) firmware. Wondering if I can get a 1.32 or 1.31 to make it working as I expected? I have tried reflash the lens with 1.33 but that won't solve the problem. I have also clean thoroughly on the electronic contacts... Solution? idea?
