XT-1 - EC dial values don't reflect on screen/viewfinder EC indicator

Hello,

Do you know is it possible to somehow recalibrate exposure compensation indicator /dial in XT-1?

When I'm in aperture or shutter priority mode the values on the dial do not reflect the ones on the screen. Let's say I put the dial in +1 position and the indicator on the screen shows 0, when I put it to +2, the indicator shows + 1 ⅓ etc. What is more - sometimes the onscreen indicator will react only after some clicks - when I put -1 ⅓ on the dial and move it towards 0 it reacts only after 6 clicks (6 moves) and shows - ⅓ (the dial is in + ⅔ position).

When I shoot in manual mode the meter seems to work fine but when aperture / shutter / ISO is in the "A" position and the meter changes into the indicator I cannot set it right.

Do you think that is a hardware problem with a dial? Or maybe it can be calibrated through software?

Thank you in advance for any info/help.

Krzysztof

PS I am not 100% sure but I think that these problems started to appear after servicing th camera in FujiFilm service (due to "rubber skin" issues).

      F/0.85 lens in Fuji X mount

      By Astigmatism · Posted

      I noticed this today on Amazon: "Handevision HVIB4085FX IBELUX 40mm f/0.85 High-Speed Lens for Fuji X Digital Cameras". I know nothing about the lens or the maker, save what it says on the page on Amazon. And of course I'm not promoting it. I just thought it was interesting that there was a lens this fast, and don't think I've seen its equal for our mount. I did have a single element asphere that was just for one wavelength, for collimating light, so its optical performance would deteriorate rapidly away from the center. It was f/0.67. And I have a paper about a microscope objective design that gave an NA of 0.92 which corresponds to f/0.2, which could be a world record as far as I know. The paper is here: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1611.02159.pdf But not anything for mounting on Fuji X cameras. Just thought it was interesting.

      Write error

      By JulioMartinsL · Posted

      Good afternoon, I've been shooting with my xt4 and the same cards, for the last year and never had this kind of problem, but last weekend during a job, my camera showed the Write Error text. Since I was filming a theatre play, there's no way I'd film it again, and proceeded to keep recording. It changed automatically to SLOT 2, and after a while, I've changed the slots. The second card, the one with no problem until then, went to the first slot, and I've put another one in the slot 2. After 5 minutes, the same thing. Write Error, on the slot 1.  When I came home, I've found out that I've lost all the takes that had the Write Error. I'm assuming it's something related to the slots, since it happened to my two fastest cards on the slot 1 and not to the slowest, that was on the second. Both cards that had error, worked perfectly on the slot 2. The second camera could film it, but my footage disapeared. How I'd lost 11 minutes on the first take, and 5 on the second, I tried to recover it with a lot of different programs and couldn't find any solution.  Does anyone here has any sugestion on how to recover the files?

      Hi everyone, and thank you for this initiative. It’s really sad for DPR. I wasn’t an ‘active’ member, but only a reader. To me , DPReview was the place with all the tips you required : camera infos , feedback… I’m not a fuji owner …yet.  But I m planning to be very soon. For now, I m still with my nikon gear.
