Hi, have managed to get a grip of most of the settings by trial and error. The manual is poor with regard to info and it's a shame that there is not a good book to guide you through the camera. Have found the jpgs excellent and the camera has some good features. Love the macro settings and have managed to get some good photos. This camera is a joy to use once you get to grips with it. Would be nice to hear from other members with their experiences using the camera.

there are several threads on this camera and if you use the local search engine you can easily find them ( And there is even a dedicated section to X10/20/30!).

 

Aslo if you call the thread X30 many would overlook the fact that you are asking for opinions and experiences.

You can download a complete manual in pdf format from the Fujifilm website.  Although not perfect, it has LOTS more info than the basic printed manual that comes with the camera.

 

I gnashed my teeth for quite some time before purchasing the X30, since I had an X100S and X-T1 with three great prime lenses.  But I sure am glad I did, before it was discontinued.

 

It goes everywhere, especially on hikes and other nature-based outings.  My neck and shoulders are glad not to be toting more weight, and the zoom lens is incredibly sharp.  The colors are also wonderful.   I only wish it covered 24mm to 135mm equivalents.

 

I am continually impressed by the IQ from such a small sensor.

      X100V - How to retain menu position?

      By LauzunLee · Posted

      Is there a way to keep your menu selection on the last option you used? For example.  When I select MENU the cursor defaults to MY Menu.  I scroll up to IQ settings, make a change, and return to shooting. When I press the MENU button again the cursor is back to MY Menu.  I really want it to stay on the IQ setting I was last using (or any other Menu setting). It's a PITA to keep scrolling up and down, back to the previous setting.  (Note.  My Canon Menu retains the position of the last option I was using). Thanks in advance for any help.

      Photos on Angelbird AV Pro SX 160GB vs SE 512GB

      By Tomek666 · Posted

      Im not partal to any brad, just opted to try these based on apparent price / performance.  I'm always looking for best bang per buck, hence Fuji I guess - haha Reliabilty does not concern me, as I always shoot to two cards for pro work (and burst shooting is not a part of that). Made sense for me to get the cheapest / fastest CF cards for hobby shooting.     I just got a Sabrent Rocket V60 512GB cheep (as the back-up card).   As long as neither of these freeze the camera I hope its a cheep solution for my needs. (AB AV Pro SE 512Gb and Sabrent Rocket V60 512GB).  Half a gig of redunat storge for $200USD is something I can live with. (Especially considering I can bust the hell out of the Anglebird). Cheers, Tomek

      Charing battery inside the X-H2 over USB

      By Tomek666 · Posted

      Would using an external charger be of benefit to the batteries life? I appreace it can be faster, but I doin't mind pluging in the camera over USB to charge. Does charging via the camera do as good a job as lets say the fuji's own external charger? Does the camera stop charging once the battry is full and not over charge? I couldn't find these deatails in these forums or in the manual. Thank you!   Image below shot on X-T2 in a sunny studio.
