Bought 3 x-pro white 1260 batteries for £13 each off the river...They work fine with no screen warnings and no imposed reduction in frame rate.

I use X-Pro White in my X-H1 with no warnings.

I get warnings in mine..perhaps mine are previous generation.

I suspect the important thing is the capacity rating of 1260 mAh rather than the manufacturer, or colour!

The good news is that the X-T3, and I presume X-H1, aren't fussy about the brand of battery, only the charge it holds.

Thanks for this. Does the camera report that they are 126 and remind you that they don’t last very long ?

I only ordered them this morning, they are the S version so I assume they're compatible, X-T3 came saturday , I've been used to DSLR sized batteries so it came as a surprise when it ran out fairly quickly , I was using a 100-400 though. when I saw £80 for a fuji one I thought I'll risk the Hahnels

many thanks. 90mm is a bit special.

Having had a 90mm since it was introduced I think the second to last word should be "very" instead of "bit" :D:D
 
I expect that this has already been covered in the over 1000 pages of this thread, but has anyone got any tips for sharpening with the X-T2/X-T20 and Lightroom?

On Canon I just left Lightroom at the standard settings, but that doesn't seem to work with my X-T2. I've seen some people suggesting turning off sharpening all together and others saying t crank the "Detail" slider up, whilst taking the "Amount" down slightly.

Do you find it is better to start with sharpening turned off and add it, or turned on and remove it?

Dunno if this`ll be of any help (just about to have a read through myself) :) http://petebridgwood.com.gridhosted.co.uk/wp/2014/10/x-trans-sharpening/

Personally I feel that the Peter Bridgewood settings are best left to X-Trans1 and X-Trans2 sensors.

With the X-Trans3 (X-T2 etc) I leave sharpening as whatever LR selects when it imports, I may though nudge the clarity up just a smudge.

The X-Trans3 always have appeared much sharper in their base form than previous generations

Ahh my bad. I don`t use LR so not really sure as to its base sharpening, but assume it`s similar to ACR. At lease it might be a starting point ;)

Yeah, they do seem a bit on the heavy side, albeit slightly less wormy than the standard settings.
 
I have decided not to worry about noise in some of my night gig images, and when it comes to Jazz you can`t beat mono. Two from the Paris House, X-T3 + XF 50mm f2 edited only in Capture one pro 11.

For me when I had both the X-T2 and X-T20, I never used the sharpening in LR6 as I have some of the Topaz plugins and thought Detail did a great job, but now I only have an X-T3 I have not used Detail at all as my only three lenses are pin sharp anyway.

:agree:. I up Clarity by no more than 18.
 
I find very little need for sharpening beyond the LR default application (I think it's around 25) for the X-T3. I've not shot much in the way of landscapes with it yet (off to cornwall for a couple of days later this week so will give it an outing), but when you nail focus I'm finding it tack sharp, even at 200% plus.

Did have my first lock-up yesterday though and had to do a battery pull, wasn't even doing anything intense, single shot, AF-S, nothing fancy. Bit annoying. Not using the fastest card, so could be that I guess. Will report to Fuji and see.
 
Never had an issue with the T2 or H1 with Transcend UHS-II’s cards, not cheap but been 100% reliable in my Fuji’s

I found the default 25 was too much, however it needed some.

I was hoping there was something better than tweaking each individual image.
 
Ok, don't know why this is happening, just took a dozen shots with the new Fuji X-H1, tried to import images the normal way into Adobe Lightroom 6 and there's no files showing...??...although there's files/images on the SD card ok.

So I can't upload any images from my card reader into Lightroom 6. Very strange.
Maybe Lightroom 6 doesn't support the Fuji X-H1 files and maybe needs upgraded....(?)

Any advice/tips appreciated.

X-T3 was delivered Saturday morning , luckily we'd booked a weekend away on Anglesey , just snaps really, I'm still getting to know the camera , all taken with the 18-55 kit lens (which I'm very impressed with) apart from the boat which was 100-400mm on a very bobby boat

All jpegs straight out of the camera

It's a place called Seven Springs on the Eastern Coast. It wasn't far from where we were based so I wandered up to take a look.

Imagine a slice of nature with streams cascading down the mountainside, with waters meeting other springs and dropping into a series of beautiful sunlit pools. And then think again.

Unfortunately Rhodes has had terrible drought for a number of years now, which means most of the Springs are slight dribbles into other wise barren stream beds. The 'lake' these feed into was silted and covered in algae together with heaps of tourist waste, plastic bottles etc. and the water level was so low it exposed the poor upkeep of the old aqueduct used for taking water to the fields and towns.

Kind of heartbreaking really. The Rhodes websites should really update their descriptions..!
