Is there a trick to toggle off all indicators in the EVF?

On the main LCD display of the X-T2, as you press Display you can toggle between the histogram view, indicator overlay, or unobstructed live view. Looking at the manual on pages 18 and 19, there doesn't seem to be a way to have the unobstructed live view through the EVF. I find this super annoying. If I'm not missing something, is there a way to submit this suggestion to Fuji?

 

For reference, my X-E2 does what I'm talking about.

You can set on or off all info with the personalized LCD/EVF controls. But you probably know that.

 

 

I’ve never done this myself but I guess that you could save the LCD/EVF settings ( all info off in this case) in the personal setting menu and then assign a button the option to switch or or off the personal settings 

 

Fuji receives emails with suggestions on what to do, they must be several hundreds of thousands every day. 

 

Despite this being a gargantuan task, I suppose that there will be several people reading them you can add your to that plethora. If they would even remotely consider to insert all suggestions in the software or hardware we will end up with unworkable amount of menus and a camera even larger and heavier.

 

That’s why they have the customizable menu, which, at least for certain software aspects, provides you the choice to do something that may (or may not) be of interest to others.

You didn't say which camera (other than "not X-E2"), but as far as I know they all work the same. With the EVF active in shooting mode, press the Disp/Back button.

 

Sorry - X-T2. It only has two display modes. One with the indicators inside the shot and one with them outside the shot.  Here's a screenshot from the manual.

You're talking about Screen Set-Up > Disp. Custom Settings? I jus tried what you suggested but this option is not available for My Menu. Am I understanding you correctly?  

 

Actually, I'd be asking them to add a function back to the system being that the X-E2 can still do this. The two options that exist right now are useless in my opinion. Opt1. full screen / Opt2. small screen. Here's a screenshot from the X-E2 manual

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By Giampaolo Masserano · Posted

      I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By jerryy · Posted

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.
