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!

    • Some elements in (autofocus) lenses are „floating“, so I guess what you are experiencing is normal.
    • How do I turn off the electronic shutter in the menu - the option is grayed out and I cannot select the mechanical option
    • I'm having trouble finding a way to attach a right-angle viewfinder to the Fuji X-H1 camera. Does anyone have experience with how the angle viewfinder behaves in combination with the EVF? Is the Minolta frame diameter of the right angle viewfinder suitable for attaching to the Fuji XH1 (or XT1, 2, 3, 5)? Does anyone have knowledge about which eyepiece is compatible with the Fuji X system? Thank you in advance for any assistance and information you can provide.    
    • I purchased a gently used XF 80mm f/2.8 aspherical macro for my X-T5. Not being familiar with this lens but having had experience with the Leica T mount 60mm macro and Canon and Zeiss macros, I was surprised that I felt what might be best described as a loose lens element that shifted when I tilted the lens, even before being mounted to the camera. In manual focus mode, the lens is fine, but there is a distinct “wobble” when the lens is in autofocus mode. I reported this to the company (I bought it from KEH), and they agreed this was odd and accepted it back for a full refund. I just got a replacement lens and the same thing is happening. I’ve never had an experience in which I feel a lens element loose inside the housing. Is this normal? Should I return it (again)?
    • Old post but hope this can help. You have to make sure that exp. comp. is set to zero in P, S or A mode before you go in to manual mode. If the comp is set to, let say +5, and this is of the range for the settings in manual mode, twisting the comp dial (left dial) want do any changes.
