Its a small thing but if you dont know about it, it will drive you crazy.

I have used my X-T1 for a year now, but while out shooting in Lacock a lock icon came on screen when I wanted to use the D buttons to change the focus point. Some how I had pressed the OK button for a few seconds and it locks the settings, so just press the OK button again to unlock, a simple error I know, but it took me ages to find out what I had done.

@Robin: Many thanks for explaining.

 

@flysurfer:

Most things can be found somewhere in the manual. But who has the manual at hand when he is shooting?

There is a full display where Fuji could tell the user how to unlock. In the menu you may find many items that are greyed and you cannot select them. In this case you have to remember which other feature has to switched on or off to make the one that is grey available. This has become worse with FW 4.0.

 

The software should allow me to select the feature and then tell me what other feature I have to disable or enable first. In the same category comes to my opinion that the T1 tells you for about one second after power on that there is no memory card. At this time I typically do not look neither at the EVF nor at the display. So I will notice it only when I try to look at the images that I just shot. BTW my E1 shows the message for about three seconds which makes it much more likely that I see it. I would prefer that I have to acknowledge the warning with OK or what ever to proceed.

 

As much as I love my E1 and T1 but there are quite a few things in the usability that are annoying.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By thelostkiwi · Posted

      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.

      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.

      Typically you need to make sure the lens is compatible with the camera, i.e. check the lens compatibility charts for your camera, then make sure the respective firmwares are updated so older issues are resolved. After that, each lens has a manufacturer’s profile which will be embedded into the raw file meta data for the images captured using that lens. From there, it is up to the raw conversion software to apply the lens correction to the image. Different converters do that differently, some automatically, some only if a setting is turned on. For in-camera jpegs, the on-board converter does the corrections automatically, assuming the camera recognizes the lens, it applies a generic profile otherwise. I do not know if that can be turned off or not.
