Anyone else have issues with you X-T1 becoming unresponsive while using zone focus?

 

I was shooting some horse events this weekend (AF-C, 3x3 zone center, MS, FD off, either single shot or Ch) and on several occasions the camera quit trying to focus or take an image (I have focus priority set so not taking the shot wasn't surprising since it wasn't focussing). I was also unable to manually focus. Usually turning the camera off then back on would get it going again but once I had to physically remove the battery.

Original battery? Nothing unusual on the grip side, like a heat that can be felt or anything like that?

I know my camera was behaving weirdly once but upon close inspecting I noticed that the drive dial was stuck between single shot and bracketing and I was able to reproduce it afterward.

 

Not saying it's the same thing but might be something worth checking next time it happens.

Good to know - I don't think that was the issue here but I will keep it in mind for future inconsistencies. I have occasionally bumped both the drive dial and metering dials out of position. In fact I seem to recall getting the drive dial partway between settings and having the camera not take images as well.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By Giampaolo Masserano · Posted

      I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      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.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By jerryy · Posted

      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.
