Hey everyone,

i am a Fuji User for a couple of years. Owned my x-s10 since launch and loved every minute with it. Recently i finally got my hands on the x-m5 as a family kind of camera. I enjoy using it a lot. However, i am used to shoot on M+E shutter on my x-s10, since i exclusively shoot fast primes and in the summer i rely on that quite a lot to not overexpose my images. i am aware that not everybody enjoys the electronic shutter, thats fair but for my kind of shooting and workflow it works a treat and it really hasnt let me down so far on my x-s10.

on my x-m5 this settings seems to refuse to do literally anyhting. it will only go higher than 1/4000s of a second if specificially choose electronic shutter only. but i want it to only use electronic shutter when there is to much light for the mechanical shutter. am i the only one with this issue? i am on the latest firmware (v1.10). i have played around with it extensively and i am out of options.

as a comparison here is how it works on my x-s10 vs my x-m5.

x-m5 M+E:

(i am shooting in to a small video light for demonstration)

does anyone have a clue how i could fix this? its such a hassle to manually switch around between electronic and mechanical shutter for my workflow and its lowkey driving me a bit insane. already "destroyed" quite a few shots over the easter weekend and i am strongly considering sending the camera back if i cant fix this.

aaaaah,

the fix was simple. it was connected to the flash settings (a user in a german speaking fuji forum pointed it out).
i have to turn off the flash compeltely in the menu. it was set to "M", and since the camera is not able to use the electronic shutter with a flash it never went over 1/4000s. turning the flash off completely makes the M+E setting behave as expected.

      Purchasing XS-20 in 2025 is a wise decision?

      By Mithun · Posted

      Hi All, Purchasing xs20 in 2025 is a wise decision? Fujifilm launched offers to their most of the products in last few months, so many of the photo enthusiast are planning to use this opportunity. But the below rumors are still in the internet and no one addressing it properly.  I hope this forum can answer, how they feel about xs20 in 2025.  1. XS20 users still facing the over heating issue after upgrading to the latest firmware and shooting outside during hot weather is disaster due to overheating.  2. Over heating occurs during the videography, thats understandable, overheating is a serious concerns during the photography, navigating through the menus, simulations. 3. This camera is not suitable for those who lives in hot climate.

      It would be helpful for the OP to indicate what imaging software as well as the OS (Win/Mac) they are using. We are assuming it is Lightroom Classic. If it LrC, there is an option in the settings/preferences > Presets > Raw Defaults to choose "Camera Settings", which will apply whatever settings were set on the camera when the image was taken to the image you see on the computer screen.

      I would like to know what photos with 50000 ISO give, with the Z6 it is more or less correct then pass to post processing and it disappears, I have no idea what this can give with Fuji

      Bonsoir, Merci le retour d'information. Concernant la publication en anglais ok je le ferai avec Google traduction, néanmoins tout ce qui est publié sur votre forum est en français. J'aimerais comprendre 😂

      None of the XF lenses I own have depth of field scales (so no hyperfocal marking). The X-T5 is weather-sealed and big enough (mine has the accessory MHG-XT% grip fitted) to use the longer telephoto zooms. I have the XF 70-300 and XF 150-600. I would say it is useful for wildlife photography (I mainly do birds), and roughly equivalent to the Nikon D500 in most situations. AF will be different and possibly inferior in some situations. The X-T5 will work well for street/landscape/everything that comes up. Fitted with the compact primes it's light enough and compact enough. XF 16/2.8, 18/2, 23/2, 27/2.8, 35/1.4 or 35/2, 50/2 are all compact and light and match well with the X-T5. XF 16/2.8, 23/2, 35/2 are all weather sealed too (as is the later version of the 27/2.8). I'm unsure about mount adapters and which adapted lenses give AF, EXIF, etc. I have a mechanical only Nikon F to Fuji X adapter, but it's only for an older AF 200/4 micro nikkor so I don't need AF/EXIF, etc.
