Possible to disable Advanced Filter?

On a few occasions I've accidentally enabled the Advanced Filter mode (via the Drive button).

 

Never once have I wanted to do this intentionally, and it always seems to happen when I'm either half frozen and brain dead (i.e.: shooting in freezing conditions on a snowy mountain) or at a wedding when the bride is about to walk down the aisle.  In both scenarios you're staring at the camera a little perplexed and trying to figure out why none of the manual controls are working as they should.

 

So, how the F do I disable this lovely "feature"?!?!

 

Another ruined photo (taken by some rando at the top of the mountain, I wasn't even aware of the problem until I got home - and no, there isn't a raw file to work from either):

There is a way to disable some functions I am not sure that you can completely disable the workings of the entire multifunctional dial controlling the whole of the advanced filters. Check the one before last of the Functions menu .

 

Only once I had this happening with the dial and it went on continuous shooting. If you leave in in some obvious advanced filter (like black and white with a color filter) you will immediately see that It goes there .

 

I never anymore set any function  ( continuous or advanced) off unintentionally though. Once bitten twice shy I suppose.

You can reassign the button. I changed the function of the button so it is less likely to be accidentally changed. I had managed to do the same. Fortunately I was only wondering around the streets of Indy where I have been many times so it wasn't a big loss.

 

Edit: I actually reassigned the white balance which some how seems to get adjusted on its own as well. You could reassign the drive button, but then it would be more difficult to change from single, continueous, and bracketing. I honestly wish they wouldn't include some of these features on the upper end bodies, but I guess someone would complain that the competition offers these amazing filters.

The advanced filter function operates on the jpeg creation doesn't it? If then you set raw + jpeg you've got the original that can still be converted in the camera.

No, that's the most idiotic thing about it... Turning on the advanced filters disables RAW recording on Fuji cameras (with other brands the filters affect the JPEG, but you still get the RAW...)

it is not a button that needs being reassigned but the whole left hand dial (which has several controls) which needs being blocked.

 

It is possible to do this, I’ve just checked.

 

OP do this if you want to solve the problem.

 

In the function menu ( the one with the spanners) the third menu has a Function Lock submenu, you can lock there a number of functions, also this one.

 

FIRST t! you need to activate the function lock. Then you go back one step and you select the function that you want locked. 

 

Run though the menu.

 

You select Drive Dial and now ALL the functions of the drive dial are locked.

Yes, it is a curse ( and I did my bit to warn others ! )

 

http://www.fuji-x-forum.com/topic/4391-advanced-filter-disaster-%E2%80%93-dont-let-it-happen-to-you/

 

 

Interesting potential remedy suggested but its unclear what else will be affected.

 

Wouldn't it be great if a Firmware update gave us the ability to disable the Advanced Filter simply ?

 

Any chance, Fujifilm ?

Fuji is not in the habit of answering pleas, prayers, queries on this forum or elsewhere.

 

What a shame when there is a such an obvious design flaw involved (btw "pleas" and "queries" I understand, but "prayers" - don't believe in that rubbish)

Not everyone has experienced the “ obvious flaw”. I for one have never but one time turned it unintentionally and it went to CL.

 

Since firmware 3 update , I believe, it has been possible to exclude the working of this by using the procedure described.

 

So, obviously they provided a way to prevent this.

 

Again Fuji is not in the habit of taking part to this or any other forum to explain themselves.

 

If you don’t want to risk doing this by mistake do the procedure as described.

Hi, Milandro: Am trying to lock or otherwise disable the Advanced Filter function. Your directions say to go to the function menu (the one with spanners, whatever those are!). Third option has a Function Lock submenu. But first, you say to activate function lock. Then go back one step and select the function that you want locked. Select Drive Dial and now ALL the functions of the drive dial are locked.

Sounds good, but I can't find the Function Menu and submenu and don't know what spanners are. Have found Function Setting via Display Back, but no further submenu. Can you please direct me? Thanks. Lorraine Gracey

The spanners menu is the many with as a symbol a spanner .

I don’t know how to be clearer. I’ll try with a picture. See the spanner at the bottom? That is the Spanner menu.

You really need to familiarize yourself with the camera functions. Go through them one by one. Read the manual or at the very least watch some You tube tutorials.

Probably a language difference.  In American English, the bottom three icons are wrenches.  

I agree with the recommendation to read the manual.  

When I have something complex (from cameras to cars), I read the manual the day I get it and reread it again after I have been using the item for a few days or weeks.

HOW TO GET OUT OF THE ADVANE FILTER WITH X100F!! 

I HAVE A X100F. I WENT TO THE DRIVE BUTTON AND USED THE ADVANCE FILTER.  I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET BACK TO THE NORMAL SETTINGS.  I FINALLY FOUND IT AFTER MANY HOURS ONLINE.  I WENT BACK TO THE DRIVE MODE BUTTON.  I HIT "STILL"  IT FINNALLY WENT BACK TO NORMAL!  I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE YOUTUBE VIDEO NEVER EXPLAINED THIS. I COULDN'T EVEN FIND IN THE MANUAL.

      Infrared Photography on X-E2 665nm

      By Neil Rosenberg · Posted

      I'm not exaggerating when I say that I have searched with great vigor (and at great expense) for a way to capture IR images with a Fujifilm camera for which I didn't have to use major amounts of sharpening to bring out the best. Zooms, primes, Fuji, Tamron, Viltrox, Sigma, Zeiss ... probably 20 lenses all told. Plus multiple IR converted Fuji cameras, X-T1, X-T3, X-T5. I even tried different ways of filtering IR, such as using the Kolari clip-ins and lens-mounted front filters. I was ready to give up until I almost accidentally tried one of the cheapest lenses out there -- the little TTArtisan 27mm F2.8. No hotspots that I could see, and best of all ABSOLUTELY SUPERB SHARPNESS across the entire frame. It's this attribute that I search for, and until now, never achieved. In my prior attempts, I listened to the advice from the "pundits", picking up a copy of the venerable Fuji 14mm F2.8, the Zeiss Touitt 12mm F2.8, Fuji 23 and 35mm F2.0, even the very similar 7Artisans 27mm F2.8, and none of them come even close to the TTArtisan for edge sharpness in infrared. Incidentally, I'm using a Kolari 720nm clip-in filter. Sure the TT has its issues -- vignetting at 2.8, tendency to flare with sunlight nearby, but all in all, this lens is glued to my X-T5 for now. This image was taken hand-held with this lens -- completely unedited!

      Screen is flipped with fan001

      By Tschortschli · Posted

      Hy there When Im using the fan001 on the XH2s and I flip the LCD Screen vertically by 180 degrees then the image flips vertically, what is good but it also flips horizontally. The clean feed on HDMI is not flipping horizontally but its also flipping if the HDMI output info display is on. When I unmount the fan then the image flips only vertically. My firmware is updated to the latest version. Any ideas if there is a fix for that?

      In reply to the original question, it all depends on what you mean by infrared.  If you mean "see thermal information", then I agree with the comments here.  However, if you mean near-infrared, the X-T4, or basically any digital camera can be modified to "see" it.  Check out Lifepixel.com and Kolarivision.com for more info. As regards lenses, I'm not exaggerating when I say that I have searched with great vigor (and at great expense) for a way to capture IR images with a Fujifilm camera for which I didn't have to use major amounts of sharpening to bring out the best.

      No - I don’t think so - it means you can take pictures if you remove the lens completely - but I’m not sure that is a problem

      XS10 and manual lenses

      By mcewena · Posted

      I bought a manual lens over xmas and it took me a while to find the "shutter w/o lens" function in the menu settings.  So far I haven't found a way to either put that on the Q menu or marry that setting to one of the 4 custom modes.   Am I missing something? Is there a problem if I just leave that setting enabled even when the OEM auto lens is in place? tia
