Newbie Needs Help


Recommended Posts

Hello, 

I am returning to photography after a twenty year hiatus. 

I just bought the Fuji X-T2 with the 16-55 f2.8 lens.

I am going to shoot a play tonight and I don't have enough time

to learn the camera, there have been many changes over the last

twenty years. LOL.

What would be my best settings for consistent photos under adequate stage lighting?

Thank you, Joe

LOL.....Thank you, fseaver. 

I actually went with Auto ISO (6400 max), Auto Shutter, and kept the Aperture on manual, I mostly used f2.8.

I chose Pro Neg Std and got some very pleasing results.

My first camera was a Canon F1N. I have had so many manual film cameras in my life

that I was so pleased to see Fuji get back to basics with their control dials.

I am very pleased with this camera.

Cheers, Joe

Thank you, George_P!!

I bought it last month (August) for 1,090 USD dollars. It was on sale because the X-T3 was waiting in the wings.

Also, picked up the 16-55 f2.8 WR lens for same price.

I'm amazed at how many features and buttons this beast has! The learning of it is taking me forever!

    • Because the sensor assembly is moved electrmagnetically. When there is no power it is essentially free moving.

      This is the equivalent of 43 minutes, 40 seconds of exposure. NGC 1502 is a neat little cluster located in the Camelopardalis Constellation. This region of space was thought to be fairly empty by early astronomers, but as you can see, there is a lot there. Kemble's Cascade (a.k.a. Kemble 1) is named for Father Lucian Kemble, a Canadian Franciscan friar who wrote about it to Walter Scott Houston, an author for the Sky And Telescope magazine. Houston named the asterism for Fr. Kemble and the name "stuck". NGC 1501 is the Oyster Nebula. A longer focal length telescope is needed to bring this one into good viewing range, but it is well worth the effort.

    • Looking for input; there are some decent deals and might want to take advantage to expand my lenses for my 100s already own: 110/2 32-64 35-70 100-200 + TC   Shooting mostly family shots, bringing my kit to capture family outings indoors and out. Tracking the 63/43 effective FLs on the two, but has anybody used both? Would the 55 (covered by two zooms right now) be redundant? Would the 80 be too similar in character to my 110 for portraiture?
