WYSIWYG not working in A, S, or P modes

[Ben Calwell]

Greetings -- new X-T2 owner. Do I understand correctly that the What You See Is What You Get feature is available in all modes of the T2? Rico Pfirstinger's book, "Fujifilm X-T2 120 X-Pert Tips" says it should function in all modes. On my camera, it works in manual mode, where the screens darken as you close down the aperture, but in the other modes, the EVF and LCD monitor don't change as I adjust the exposure settings. In the menus, I"ve got the Preview Exp. WB in Manual Mode highlighted. And I know it's labeled "in Manual Mode," but Pfirstinger's book says it should work in the other modes, too. Thanks in advance for any advice.

To summarize what I wrote over at DPReview:

True WYSIWYG only applies to M mode with Preview Exp. in M. Mode turned on.

The AE modes (P, A, and S) are WYSIWYW (what you see is what you want). Most of the time that's the same as WYSIWYG, but you can't always get what you want. If the AE and auto-ISO systems are unable to achieve the desired result because the scene is simply too dark or too bright, the viewfinder will not show the unwanted darkness or brightness.

M mode with Preview Exp. in M. Mode turned off is also WYSIWYW if auto-ISO is used. But if a constant ISO is chosen, the viewfinder has a constant brightness unrelated to exposure, which is particularly useful for framing flash photos.

Thank you again, Doug. I appreciate it.
