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.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By thelostkiwi · Posted

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      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.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By Trevor R · Posted

      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.
