I have also have an XF 150-600 that I use for wildlife videography--mostly birds.  That lens has vignetting from 400 mm - 600 mm when shot at the largest aperture.  In general, I do not notice the vignetting with little sky involved.  However, If I have a bird against a bald sky (frequent occurrence in Arizona) I can have wild vignetting that bounces all over the place.  The only solution is to stop down to f/11 which corrects the issue.  For video, the X-H2S does have peripheral correction.  However, it does not seem to work at 400 mm and above.  I have tried with peripheral correction on and off.  Makes no difference--it just does not work.

I did some research on long telephoto zoom lens and vignetting.  Regardless of company (Sony FE 200-600, Nikon 180-600, Canon 200-800), all suffer from vignetting at their longest focal lengths and wide open--it is function of the design. The solution on all of these lens is to stop down by 1 stop where it virtually disappears.  Based on reports, the amount of vignetting for the XF 150-600 is on the low end from all of the reports that I have read--but then again I would expect it to be lower because this is an APS-C camera.

Hope this helps others,

Don

All lenses are a compromise where the designer has to decide what is most important to correct. Most modern lenses, particularly zooms, rely on software to reduce some faults. This allows the lens designers more leeway to address other problems. Vignetting is usually on the list. It will be corrected in the camera in the case of jpegs or in the software in the case of raw output. If you use raw check that automatic lens correction is enabled.

All of a sudden, I’m getting vignetting with both Fujifilm 18-135 and 55-200.  I don’t use lens hoods so that’s not the cause.  Thoughts anyone?

I had the same problem.  Turned out that my Drive Dial was on ADV and therefor activated a filter (Toy Camera in my case) .....

      Display ISO will be chosen when auto iso is set

      By Cronin · Posted

      Found the simple answer to my own question. Having assigned Auto ISO to the rear dial, I only have to push in the dial to make the Auto ISO options appear, then turn the dial to choose. Nice and fast.

      Hello All, I am returning to photography after a decades-long hiatus that was prompted by my loss of access to a darkroom. Digital rendered that excuse moot, so I now return with a recently purchased XT5. I am from the Hudson River Valley in New York where I have spent the past five decades engaged in environmental work, mostly on the Hudson. I teach at Pace University where I direct the Gale Epstein Center for Technology, Policy and the Environment. My project ahead is documenting the unseen Hudson, a combination of the obscure, under-appreciated, and invisible - a street-style approach to people, places and things that make the river what it is. There will be little landscape, if any. The "Mighty Hudson" is well-documented. If nothing else, it will be a mission-driven project to bring me back to photography while learning my camera. I look forward to everything this amazing site can teach me. Cronin

      Fuji X-T4 AF-S and-C

      By IMX · Posted

      Hi,   I would really appreciate if someone could answer this question. Is it possible to have the X-T4 shoot in AF-S for photo mode and AF-C in video mode while the front lever is left at AF-S?  If so, how would this be done or wher in the menu system would I set this up? This is similare to setting the apeture at f/2.8 for photo mode but fioming at f/4 in video which I already have setup. Thanks and kind regards

      According to the manual you can assign auto ISO to any one of the function buttons but I've never tried it. (It's not something I frequently change so all my function buttons do other things.)

      Hello, I have a new xt5 and have enjoyed its setup, until now. I hope someone with patience can help me through my ISO dilemma. My question: I have assigned settings for Auto ISO 1,2 and 3.  Should I be able to select Auto ISO 1, 2, or 3 for a shot? If so, how?  Or is the camera supposed to. At present, my screen shows Auto ISO 3, and never changes. I assigned ISO to the rear dial to no effect. Of course, when I half depress the shutter button is see the actual ISO in real time, but the function of the Auto ISO and how to control it has me confused. Thanks for any help.
