The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

I spent some time at Teignmouth this morning, for sunrise. The high level clouds didn't really play ball as i'd hoped but i'm pleased with the way this one came out after PP.

Back up on the hills close to home this afternoon. Nearly didn't make it, had a mishap standing on a chair and took a lesson in gravity (9.81m/s squared if I remember correctly).... Felt faster than that!!

Anyways, went up to watch the sun go down. First of a few I took.

Love it! A really nice image (looks warmer than I imagine it was ;) ). Great composition getting the branches spreading out along with the clouds.

Thanks Jim, yes, it was a bit "Brass Monkies" out there this evening.....
 
The standard on here lately has been superb! Really working the Fuji gear lads, love it.

With the 55-200mm on my X-T2 I find CL works better than CH. However I am still yet to be fully confident in it, like I was with my Canon 1D2 and 70-200f2.8.

This was the last of a 6 shot burst where all were in focus, which I was pretty pleased with. The main difference I noted was that the light was good when I shot it.

Can anyone elaborate on this? What do Focus and release mean?

I've yet to read the manual despite owning my X-H1 for well over a year, but I think that Focus means the shutter will trigger once the shot is in focus, and release will mean it will trigger as soon as presses, ie possibly before the camera has focused.
 
Disappointed with my fuji xt30 and Lightroom.



I recently purchased a Fuji xt30 and 27mm lens and I have to say I’m mighty disappointed with the images I’m getting so far.
I use Lightroom and I’m getting really odd watercolour effects in foliage with the raw files and the jpegs need work too. They just look bland and I need to work on the black levels and contrast.

Is it just me?

I wanted something smaller and lighter than my d750 but still with decent image quality. I was getting better images with my old rx100.

It's a long story, but Fuji files really do need a different approach to them in Lightroom. That said, I have both an X-T3 & and an X-T2, and I can pull my files around quite a bit. I suggest you have a look on YouTube, as there's plenty of "How To's" out there.

As Steve said, if you just treat them like Nikon Bayer files, it won't go well. LR default sharpening is particularly a bad idea. Here's a decent overview of the options, fairly balanced from what I can see:

Another two from Suzie`s yesterday, Xpro2 + XF23mm f1.4. First one is so hard to get without people getting in the way, and second was once I came off the beach.

Quick question about the 'area' mode which allows you to select the focus point from the touch screen and assuming continuous auto focus is still possible. Coming from the Nikon D750 which takes forever to move the focus spot around in live view, forever to acquire focus, and forever to actuate the shutter after pressing the release. How can the experience be compared using the X-H1? Does performance greatly differ doing the same with the X-T3? Does this drain the battery quickly?

Invited to a Fujifilm event on Feb 4th in London... Could be interesting!

definitely announcement date for next gen X100 but could we see X-T200 and X-T4 announced in same day???

some rumours suggesting X-T4 might not be an X-T4 but a merger of X-T3 and X-H1 into a sports body with integral grip -as Fujifilm want to make some waves at the Olympics - which in turn suggests there may be a surprise long focal length lens of (fast F4) say glass

it’s going to be interesting for sure
