Can I get a little help? I've noticed over the last few days when shooting in aperture priority, the ISO is changing randomly. I took these two shots this morning as an example. Both taken literally one after the other. Any idea why the ISO would change? is this a user issue ( I suspect yes) or a camera issue?

I guess you’re Shooting manual with auto ISO under artificial light. Pretty normal behaviour. Seems white balance is also auto.

Thanks for the reply Trevor. No, I was in auto ISO auto shutter speed too. But yes under artificial light. Although it was doing it on Saturday when I was at the Leigh on sea shoot. Same settings other than I used the compensation dial, and obviously outside.
There is a distinct possibility I'm missing something obvious here to be honest. I'm nowhere near on top of this beast yet

You are handing over the choice to the camera by selecting Auto shutter and auto ISO... so quite naturally it is making the decision for itself. If you do not want it to do so don't use auto Iso. In using compensation you are throwing in another variable. where it may change the shutter speed or ISO to do the compensation. Nothing wrong with the camera just your methodology is confusing.

My thoughts exactly. This camera is a big learning curve from the 6d. But I'll persevere. Thanks for the reply

Just purchased Fuji XT2 with kit lens. As this is a new system to me and on flicking through the manual. It will take me a while to adjust to the settings etc and how to access . Will be reading through all this thread and looking at the number of pages it will take me a while.
Whilst I start that I have a couple of questions
1. Which batteries do you use. I will definitely want to purchase a couple of spares.
2. My canon camera has a lovely flip screen that I can close to,protect the screen. What screen protector would you advise and what are the negatives if any of using these.
Many thanks in advance for any replies. Sure I will find the answer somewhere in these pages but with work and life it will take me a while to plough through.
A little bump everyone. Any advice on screen protectors or are most people not using these.? Thanks for response re batteries folks. I hope I've acknowledged all. Only up to page 60.... Think I have a way to go. Just done a quick search on here for screen protectors nothing came up. Will search via google tonight before I make my mind up.
I just bought a cheap £5 glass screen protector off Ebay. Just search ebay there are hundreds.
As theres no touch screen it doesnt matter too much as long as its see through, the right size and protects the screen.

Just a simple Fujigraph taken at Folkestone Kent UK of a line of local Fishing Boats in The Harbour all "Ready For The Off". I posted a mono version of this snap a little while ago and thought I'd give the colour version an outing.

This river is a long-term project of mine. Slowly working my way towards pictures of it that I like better. It's a very visually complex environment, a bit like shooting in woodland.
Funnily enough, I took a second version of this one at a longer exposure, but liked it less. Apparently 1/5s was about right...

Parked the bike near Tower Bridge and walked from there down the Thames Path to The Cutty Sark pub in Greenwich. It was further than I thought ! Got this from somewhere near the Hilton hotel Rotherhithe sort of area (I don't lknow where I was, but somewhere there on that stretch). I wasn't carrying a tripod. Just the XT2 and standard zoom. Handheld.
Also saw these. Just playing to scratch an itch really.
Pub was great, lovely plate of belly pork, a couple of beers and a lovely bottle of wine.
I didn't take any on the way back. It was a long walk and I had to make tracks, plus it was late and I was a bit worried about my bike because the soft, army panniers are not lockable. It was still there though, and everything was still intact.
Thanks for your suggestions.

Have gone for the X-T1 in the end, opted for a used one from WEX so that I get a warranty for a bit of piece of mind, have also bought an 18-55 on here which will both arrive tomorrow. I'll see how I get on with it over the weekend and then will see what other lenses I may want.
Currently on my radar are the 35mm f/2, Samyang 12mm and possibly a 55-230 as a cheap tele option for the rarer times I'll want that.

Sounds like a good combination. Hope you enjoy the new toy when it arrives and look forward to seeing some of your work.

Guys I used to use Yongnuo triggers with my speedlights when I used canon gear and since moving to Fuji I have been looking at the Goddox system of flashes. Am I correct in thinking I would only need one Goddox trigger and that would control all speedlights rather than one for each unit?

Technically it's possible to get an adaptor that will change the aperture for G lenses. The catch is that it doesn't do it in single f stops, and you have to work out what aperture you have set by the change in shutter speed. I've done it successfully but I can't really recommend it.

Appreciate you taking the time to comment, cheers. Yes, at this point I only have 2 lenses for the Fuji: the 18-55 kit and Samyang 12mm that I use for landscapes. I haven't invested in more lenses as I'm still not sure that Fuji will be my primary (only) system. I broke my Canon camera a few months back and haven't replaced it yet, but have held onto a few lenses just in case I get another Canon body.

Cracking sunny day in Brighton today, X-T2 + XF 35mm f2. First one I left dark as think it looks better, but in the summer I will go back as it is just fantastic in this church.

A few posts back ( this thread moves fast !) I posted a shot of our new cat - decided to try a B&W conversion using Snapseed on my phone and quite pleased with the result :

Just a simple Fujigraph of a local church at Folkestone Kent UK with the never completed bell tower. As you can see in the snap there is only one bell when in fact there should have been two. Apparently as with a lot of things finance ran out before the second bell could be purchased.
