Does anyone have the same problem? The image range that LCD and EVF view finder shows is smaller than the actual picture you took. I use the XF 16-55 lens.

The image on LCD

The image you actually get

The picture you get is wider than the image you saw on the LCD or EVF screen.

You could be set you camera in RAW only mode. Try RAW+GPEG so your camera will have something to show you.

Hi, I use the XF 16-55 lens, and I tried all the RAW only, GPEG only and RAW+GPEG model. And there is the same problem, when I check the picture, it is wider than LCD/EVF view finder shows. I'm waiting the reply from the Fujifilm support. Hope they could have solutions.

When you say "image you get" are we talking RAW or JPEG? If it's RAW, do you have lens correction disabled in your raw processor?

Thanks for your apply, I tried both RAW and JPEG, the results are the same. As the lens correction you mentioned, I don't find this setting in the camera :0 

I only have this one lens, so now I'm not sure whether it is because of the camera body or the lens.

It's not a setting in the camera... Fuji doesn't allow you to disable the lens correction, so it's always applied to the JPEGs (some fujinon lenses have a much wider field of view optically than with software correction applied). The camera also applies this correction to the viewfinder feed, so it should always match the JPEG.

I guess it might be the case.

Viewfinders rarely if ever show 100% coverage. That's normal and always has been.

 

It's better to get a wee bit more coverage than less, so as not to cut off something important.

 

Here's a link to a good article that explains something that would seem simple but optically and mechanically isn't.

As mentioned above, most camera's viewfinders do not show 100% of what the resulting image will show.  95% is a common number I've seen on cameras over the years.  I think there was a Sony released several years back that was something awful ... 75% or something like that!

The fact that the Fuji do > 95% is quite good.

      gimbals (& threads getting spammed)

      By jshire · Posted

      Hi, I'm researching a gimbal to get someone as a present & they use a Fuji XS-10. I did a quick search of previous threads on gimbals but all of them seem to either get no replies or spammed by a link to an Amazon list. I'd appreciate any comments from folks who've actually used specific gimbals with the XS-10. I'm aware that some, such as certain models from Zhiyun, DJI & FeiyuTech either don't say that they are fully compatible with the XS-10 but other sites say they do work ok but some functions don't. It's quite difficult to work out which functions work & which don't. Thanks.

      A portrait with a 28mm lens

      By DavidJohn · Posted

      This was snapped during a lunch.  Total shooting time—a few seconds. We so often read that a proper "portrait" should be snapped with a longer than normal lens, a low ISO to get lots of detail, and have a soft light held up above the head, and slightly to the side. The key, in my opinion, is always carry a camera.  Have your camera available to capture candid, authentic photographs.  Available light, no posing.   This portrait used 2000 ISO, the lens wide open at f4, and 1/100 sec. to stop any movement.  I didn't even take time to compose—I just snapped.  I leave the "Face Detection" on unless I'm photographing a landscape or subject other than a person. The GFX100RF has the equivalent of a 28mm lens.  The large sensor renders fine detail even at fairly high ISO ratings.  And the drawing of the lens is just perfect in my opinion.  It was set to B & W, with slightly reduced sharpness and clarity (set in-camera).  Ideal for "portraits."  Now, for some subjects I will likely increase the sharpness and clarity to the normal setting.  The camera is new, and I'm still experimenting with it.
