Hi, I have an X100T which I love and have taken some great photos with over the three/four years that I've owned it.

(I won it, I'm not particularly camera techy and not very up on camera terminology so please reply in simpleton terms! I had to watch lots of youtube videos to learn how to work it!)

I took it to Lapland last year and managed to get some amazing Northern Lights shots with it.

I am going to South Africa on Safari soon and this camera doesn't zoom so is it going to be completely useless for taking photos of animals from some distance? Is there any way of getting a zoom lens that will fit it? I have been trying to research this and am coming up with nothing. Am I going to have to get another camera or is there a clever way round this?

Hoping someone can help me, thanks 🙂

The x100 series does have the option to screw on conversion lenses, the tcl-x100 and wcl-x100 (tcl is tele-conversion, wcl wide conversion). However, these are not zoom and the tcl will likely not enlarge sufficiently for wildlife.

In short: if you want optical zoom, get another camera.

      Hello, If you look in the top right-hand corner of each posting, there should be three dots in a row, like this —>  …  <—, click on them and after a moment or twelve, a small menu should drop down from the dots, the last entry in the menu is ‘Edit’. Choose that and after a moment or three you should be in edit mode for that entry. Note: Only you can edit your entries.

      Jerry I found out it's a Cherry Blossom but I can't figure out how to edit it.

      What is most ironic about this is that there must be many of us here that would be interested in significant ads about the products we're discussing. I would be. I normally hate ads, but relevant ones here would actually be somewhat welcome. What are the recent new Fuji product announcements? Is anybody offering a sale? How about 3rd party products? I mean, I actually want to spend money, more or less.

      CANNOT BACKUP OR RESTORE X-T4 SETTINGS WITH FUJI X ACQUIRE

      By Astigmatism · Posted

      I don't think I have your answer, but it's worth trying. It's been a few days, are you still struggling with this? I've used Acquire (on an iMac) and an X-T4 (also an X-T5 and an X-T30 ii) and it worked, at least as far as backing up. No error messages, and a computer file with stuff in it. I understand you get an error message when you attempt to restore the camera from a backup, but, does it look to you like the backup phase is working? I mean, do you get a saved file and no error messages? Do you have any other Fuji cameras, and does it work for them? I have had problems getting Acquire to detect the camera. I did all manner of playing around with starting the software, plugging in the camera, and powering the camera on, in various orders (including what the instructions say). I always got it to work eventually, but it took lots of playing some times. Lately it fires right up. Somebody here commented on this difficulty and the security obstacles in the computer. Are you getting a connection easily, or after trying things, or not at all? Does Acquire show your camera model and the few settings it displays correctly?
