    Fuji Cannot Activate OVF on X-Pro 1?

    For some reason the lever on the front of my X-Pro 1 will no longer bring up the OVF. Have I done something wrong in the settings, or is this something that will require sending the camera for repair?

    Fuji Restarting My Blog

    I don't know if this allowed, so if it isn't, Moderator please delete it! I've restarted my blog after a long lapse, and so far am sticking to a Monday-Wednesday-Friday schedule. It's not Fuji-specific, but I am a Fuji shooter, and before that I used micro 4/3s. I've had a long and varied...

    Fuji Help finding author (OT)

    Guys, could I get a little off-topic help here? Our friend, the super moderator from sunny Frimley, has written a very enjoyable book. I read it some time ago, but now I cannot remember the title or the author's full name so as to find it in my archives, either on Kindle or Nook. Could someone...

    Fuji Custom Settings on X-T1, X-T20

    On my (now departed) Canon 6D, there were two positions on the top left dial marked, as I remember, C1 and C2. Turning to either of these brought up a specific group of settings. It was much quicker than reconfiguring the camera when I wanted to change into, say flash, mode. Is there any way to...

    Fuji Programmed Automation

    Is there any way to set up an X-Pro 1 or an X-T1 for programmed automation, where the camera selects both aperture and shutter speed?

    Fuji Chimping on LCD

    Trying to fix some setup problems on my new-to-me X-Pro 1, I evidently pushed a wrong button somewhere, and now I can only review photos in the viewfinder, not on the rear LCD. What do I do wrong? Or better, what can I do right to review images on the LCD?

    Fuji New (used) X-Pro 1 and Firmware Question

    Just received my new (to me) $335 Fuji X-Pro 1 and it looks really good. I'm getting it set up as I like it. I think I've asked this question before on this forum, but can't find it. How do I check what firmware version is installed?

    Fuji Dropped My X-Pro1

    Put my X-Pro1 on the seat beside me at a restaurant Saturday night and it was accidentally shoved off onto a tile floor. The shutter button/on-off switch assembly was knocked off. Talked to Fuji repair today and they said the whole top plate would have to be replaced. Cost would be $180 labor...

    Fuji SOOC Jpegs for Magazine Article

    Did something today I've never done before -- submitted some straight out of camera jpegs from my X-T20 as part of the selection to accompany an article I wrote for Georgia Backroads magazine.

    Fuji Male Red-Bellied Woodpecker

    Although we are not seeing nearly as many birds at our feeders as a few years ago (I was told it might be due to an increase in the number of hawks), we do often see Red-Bellied and Downy woodpeckers. We have not seen the rare pileated woodpeckers since I posted a photo some weeks ago. This...

    Fuji Wanna Trade Lenses?

    Since I moved to Fuji last summer, I've bought and sold a few lenses, trying to find the ones that best fit in with my needs and way of working. I'm not there yet, but at this point I know that my very sharp and light 16-50 f3.5-5.6 and 50-230 are keepers, as is the 27 f2.8. I thought the 18-135...

    Fuji X-T1 Questions

    With my X-Pro 1 and my X-T20, if I'm making photographs using the EVF and I want to chimp, I press the playback button and the most recent image appears on the LCD. However, my newly-acquired, used X-T1 does not switch from EVF to LCD when I press the playback button. I've looked all through the...

    Fuji Set-up Guide to Fuji X-T1?

    I was holding out for the prices to come down on the Fuji X-T2, but found a used but not abused X-T1 body at a price that was too good to pass up. I have an X-Pro 1 and a X-T20, so I have a bit of general familiarity with Fuji, but I can see that the X-T1 has a few significant differences. Can...

    Fuji Red Faces

    A few weeks ago I photographed my first wedding with Fuji equipment, after using Canon for 24 years. Both the X-Pro 1 and the X-T20 gave me sharp, detailed files that mostly look better than the ones I was getting from my Canon 6D. The X-Pro RAF files were converted in Capture One, and the X-T20...

    Fuji Pileated Woodpeckers

    I make no pretense to being a bird photographer, but my wife and I are honored that a pair of pileated woodpeckers have taken up residence in the woods just outside our kitchen window. My longest lens is the 50-230, which isn't nearly long enough, so this image is severely cropped. The camera is...

    Fuji X-T 20 Surprises

    After using Canon for 24 years as a full-time professional, I sold my entire outfit over the summer and switched to Fuji. (Before selling the Canon stuff, I dipped my toe in the water with an X-Pro 1 and a 16-50 lens.) A few months later I bought an X-T20 and added 18-135mm, 50-230mm, and 27mm...

    Fuji Converting X-T20 RAW files to DNG for Processing in Capture One 7?

    I've been a satisfied Capture One user since late 2003, upgrading as necessary when I got new cameras. I currently have version 7, which worked with the cameras I've been using for the past few years, including my Canon 6D, Oly E-M5s and Fuji X-Pro 1. However, I recently acquired an X-T20 and...

    Fuji Cracked my Giotto Screen Protector

    Does anyone have experience with the Giotto Schott Glass screen protector for the Fuji X-Pro1? My used X-Pro came with the screen protector already attached, and frankly, I didn't know if it was original equipment or an add-on. I'm not sure how it happened, but I cracked the screen protector...

    Fuji Tethering Camera to Computer for in-Camera RAW Processing

    I have been a faithful user of Capture One since 2003. The last version I bought was v.7, and haven't needed to upgrade until now. However, I recently bought an X-T20 and C1 does not recognize my RAW files. The oldest version they will upgrade is v.8. I'm not interested in spending $300 for the...

    Fuji How to Set Up a Fuji X-T20 to Use a 3rd Party Flash

    To use a 3rd party flash on a Fuji X-T20, go to the menu for "Flash Setting." Choose "Flash Function Setting" and press the right selector button on the back of the camera. This brings up a screen called "Sync Terminal." In the upper left is a box that says either "Off" or "M." If it's "Off,"...

    Fuji Using non-Fuji Flashes with X-Pro 1 and X-T20

    I recently sold most of my Canon equipment and purchased an X-Pro 1 and X-T20 and a few lenses. I still have a Canon 580EXII flash and several Nikon SB28 units which I use both on-camera and in multiple flash setups. I also have several Yongnuo 622C transceivers. I programmed both cameras with...

    Fuji Cheap Fuji Straps

    As makers of fine cameras, it amazes me that Fuji would sell them with such chintzy straps. I replace them with 1-inch Domkes as soon as possible.

    Fuji LM X100S Thumb Rest

    My recently-acquired Fuji X-Pro 1 came with a thumb rest stamped LM X100S. A bit of research indicates that this must be a Lensmate item made for a Fuji X100S. Would that be correct? It seems to fit the X-Pro 1 just fine, although I do not care for it and will probably sell it. Does anyone know...

    Fuji X-Pro 1 Firmware?

    I recently acquired a used-but-not-abused X-Pro 1, which I'm gradually learning to use. I don't find the menus as difficult as my Olympus OMDs, but challenging, nonetheless. I need to check the firmware to see if it's up-to-date, but can't find it in any of the menus. I've downloaded the Fuji...

    Fuji Viewing with Adapted Lenses

    Please excuse my ignorance of all things Fuji! I am interested in acquiring an X-Pro1 and using it with Olympus OM legacy lenses. Will the OVF give me the view through these lenses, or will only the EVF do that? If I'm restricted to using the EVF I might as well get an XT20 instead of the X-Pro.

    Fuji How Good/Bad Is the Fuji 16-50 3.5-5.6 Kit lens?

    Looking at the soon-to-be-released Fuji XT-20. It's $200 cheaper with the 16-50 f3.5-5.6 lens than with the 18-55 f2.8-4 lens. I know the 18-55 has a decent reputation, but how good/bad is the 16-50? I like the range better. Of course, I would like to get the 16-50 f2.8, but that is far out of...

    Fuji X-T1 or X-T10?
