X-T20 | Firmware 1.10 | Touch panel operation when using the EVF


Recommended Posts

TLDR; user can't figure out how "Touch panel operation when using the EVF" works

 

Ok, so got my new X-T20 last night, got it all set up (having had to go on YouTube to figure out how the back button focus works on this camera as compared to my X-T10, aaarggh. Why doesn't the wee square turn green when it's capture the focus like my X-T10 did .. ), updated to the new firmware 1.11, and am mad excited about the ability to use the touch panel operation when using the EVF.

 

However, having tried all the various settings and possibilities, it just will not work.

 

I have

 

  • activated the touch screen on/off => ON 
  • EVF Touch Screen Area Settings => ALL
  • tried using the various view modes, without expected result.

 

I expect that when this is set up correctly, that looking through the viewfinder and touching the lcd screen, the focus points move in the viewfinder also. Is this assumption correct?

Nevermind, figured it out.

Touchscreen, aye, but perhaps they mean "hold your finger down and drag it across the LCD while looking through the viewfinder and poking yourself in the cheek. Oh, and keep your nose away as well because that will also move the focus point". Not quite as snappy for the marketing, I'm sure we can all agree.

 

I was expecting it to work in exactly the same way as the LCD - you touch, it focusses. 

And also, a suggestion for the next update: a way to automatically re-center the focus point.

    • Looking more like the next Fuji camera we see will be an X-T50 but it is still a rumor and no specs have been published.
    • Hey guys, The shutter on/off button switch may be loose on mine. After turning camera on and pressing the shutter/holding close to the area, the camera will turn off and say 'sensor cleaning'. This doesn't happen if I'm shooting via touch screen at all. Everything else is functional. Anyone else experience this before? Would love a much cheaper fix since Fuji Canada just quoted me $700 CAD to fix it, and considering everything else is functional except that part I'm not even sure why MPMB Main Board parts is being replaced😕 I got no explanation from them either.
    • As far as I know the firmware is not country specific. Are you sure that the filename has not been changed ( I am told this can happen with mac os). That's the only thing I can think of.
    • My x-t5 does not exhibit the focusing switch behaviour as you report it, so that is very strange and indicative of a fault. It does not matter whether the flash is attached or not. Once you set the camera for your studio flash, say 1/250th at f5.6, the camera, which is showing you what you will get at that exposure without the flash, will show a black screen unless the ambient light is brighter than what you would typically get indoors. That is why, as Jerry says, you have to set preview exp/wb to off. I have set a button for this.
    • I connected to FRAME.IO a while back and it works fine, but the camera wouldn't connect to the internet all of a sudden today and would get stuck on the reset screen, including initializing and even switching USB Connection mode. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
