Hello shooters!

Just got a Fuji 100s II mostly for portrait work with and without strobes. Using Godox system. 
two issues: 

1: when trigger on camera it refuses to be in M mode it always jumps back to ttl?? 
 

2: there is a substatial amount of noise in the evf and lcd when trying to focus. Not seen in the final picture but it is extremely distracting and annoying not to be able to see clear but instead going through “snow” have seen others with same issues! But no one had an explanation or solution!

would be grateful if anyone knows anything about settings or explanations that would help.

Thank you!

Doesn’t happen in canon R5 that I came from. So thought it was flawed mabey? 
Fuji has a few settings in how to manage the evf live but none of them fixes it. 
furthermore do anyone know why it won’t stay in manual mode when shooting with studio strobes. It always returns to ttl. A flaw?

Thanks for your help.

another thing - 

do you know why the flash settings won't stay on manuel but always jumps back to ttl. SO annoying and practically makes the camera impossible for my use cases. I’m a godox user. At my seller I tried profoto trigger and flash and it worked but godox won’t work. 
can’t afford to switch to profoto.

there must be a solution.

anyone?

Are you using the trigger X3 F?  I have never yet seen this issue of the flash settings jumping back to TTL. This on various Nikon, Fuji etc over the last 2 or 3 years.

Am about to try a GFX 100SII next week with my Godox…...

    • Here is the solution to using the Eterna 55 file simulation LUTs in Davinci Resolve.   In general, do not use the FLog2C to film simulation LUTs as they are not supported by Davinci Resolve for two reasons: 1) Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut Color Space and 2) Davinci Resolve does not support FLog2C gamma.  Instead, use Flog2 which is supported by Davinci Resolve.  Here is an example.  Let's say that you want to use Classic Chrome simulation.  Do the following: Complete your color grade and use a CST to get to Rec 709. Add a node.  Use a CST to convert from Rec 709 to FLog2.  Output Color space is Rec 2020 and Outout Gamut is FLog2. Add a node.  Apply the FLog2 to Classic Chrome LUT Create a combination node from node in steps 2 and 3. Apply a Key to the combination node and adjust the Key Output Gain to get the amount of the combination node that you want applied. So that you do not have to do this over and over again, generate a LUT for the combination node.  Remember to turn off all other nodes before generating the LUT. Hope this helps others. Don  
    • Thanks for the insights. I think it's really hard to make a decision without having the two side by side! 
    • I don’t have the 23 f2 but I have read several times that it is considered a little soft at close distance, compared to the 23 f1.4 lenses. These will also focus at shorter distance from the subject, esp. the new one. So that might make a difference. The new 23 f1.4 LM WR  has better resolution, esp. in regard to the 40Mpix sensors, which you don’t have on the X-T2. What practical difference that makes for the value of the pictures one makes is disputable and subjective.  f1.4 will gather more light but with a smaller DOF, which may be desirable in some situations but not so in others, depends. If you like to shoot close ups, you will probably use higher f numbers to get a bigger DOF. Same for landscapes. If you are a bokeh fan, yes the f1.4 lens are better.  The older 23 f1.4 lens that you are considering is a very good and respected lens. The f1.4 vs f2 aperture per se is perhaps not so important. The 23 f2 is very small, light and practical and a great lens for travel and landscapes. So, go figure. I am afraid I just sent you further down the road to insanity !
    • First post here but long time fuji shorter. I use the XT2 with the 23mm f2 / 35mm 1.4 / 16-80mm f4 I'm considering the 23mm f1.4 r (Non-WR) About me: - I shoot black and white only. - I like macro details to wide open landscapes and everything in-between. - I shoot mostly for art, intrigue and creativity of the image. My question - is the 23mm f1.4 going to offer me any meaningful difference over the f2 for the above scenarios Thanks and sorry for bringing it up again...
    • I discovered this unmarked government installation today.
