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

      Time Code Synch

      By DMJpix · Posted

      FYI Update - I just learned that the Zoom F6 & F3 recorder/mixers also synch to the UltraSynch Blue over bluetooth. I am planning to record 32bit float on the F6 and it will have frame accurate matching time-code with my two-XH2S' and one XH2.

      Hopefully these will help some. For quite a while now Apple has put stuff into their operating system so that you cannot yourself open the connected camera’s card and see the images, you have to use their or third party software to do that.

      Okay, just for completeness sake: 1.     The camera’s menu connection setting is USB CARD READER. 2.    The computer is turned on, booted and nicely operational. 3..    With the camera turned off, connect the camera to the computer using a known-to-be-good USB C data plus power cable (a data only cable should work as well, a power only cable will not work). 3.   The camera’s charging light may turn on. Turn the camera on. The back screen probably will show the USB symbol as well as the USB letters. 4.    Start up the Image Capture app and see if the camera’s name appears in the devices list. 5.    In the Apple menu, select ‘About This Mac’, click on the ‘More Info…’ button, and on the right hand side of the window that opens, at its bottom is a button called ‘System Report…’, click on it. A new window should open, the left hand side has collapsible dropdown listings, the first is called “Hardware’, within it is the USB listing, select that. The right side pane should give you listings of all the USB devices connected at that moment, one of them should say something like USB PTP Camera. Does either 4. or 5. work?

      Thanks, Yes I knew about the USB issue in newer Macs and macOS but that is why I tested it with High Sierra as well. Also the fact that every other camera easily connects via USB direct with the camera - definitely points out the fact that it is a FUJI specific problem.  Furthermore - I remember being able to direct connect early last year. I rarely take the Cards OUT of the camera  these days. The weird thing is I can connect my iPhone 15 via USB-C to 100s and pull files directly - puzzling. Problem is FUJI rarely listens to anyone.
