Hi guys, I'm now a disabled pensioner and trying to keep my hands (& brain !) working. My Fuji S5800 failed and needed replacing. After a little searching, decided on a X-T30. Now, I miss the super macro on the S5800, so was looking at how to add to my X. I didn't realise that lenses were so...

great advice guys - thanks. I haven't looked at the youtube yet as i've been ill. I'm now disabled and trying to find something to keep my brain and hands working. My old friend Fuji S5800 failed me so I thought I'd take a step up the ladder - I hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew...

Right - I took the plunge and bought the X-T30 with 15-45 lens - it arrived yesterday. Does anyone know of a Quick initial setup to get me started please ? This is the first decent camera that I've had, seen, used, so need to start from scratch. Yep - I have the manual, but it talks as if we...

so obvious when someone else says it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, cheers.

Right - I took the plunge and bought the X-T30 with 15-45 lens - it arrived yesterday. Does anyone know of a "Quick Initial setup & preferred settings" to get me started please ? Would it be wise to start another post, or see what happens here ? cheers for all the advice and help guys.

cheers all. I ordered a cable on Tuesday,,,, and it was here Wednesday - fabulous service. I'm sorry if I confused things,,,,, when I'm writing, I understand what I mean ?!?! The reader in the camera stopped working, so I'm saving images to internal memory, which I can then upload to PC, via the...

FLYPHOT: Thanks for your input. As you will see above, the card reader in the camera isn't working. sphexx: The very first thing I did was check the card in other items (all fine), and other cards in the camera (none workied). sk66: Thanks for the link. I've ordered one. I may end up...

Cable / USB: From that manual, it does look like a Micro - Mini AB (a bit rounded). Card reader: I do have card reader/writer/s, but how do I connect it to the camera ? Don't I need the card in the camera, to record the images onto ? Then, as I have been doing, taking the card out, and into a...

Cheers Nod, I was using the inbuilt card reader, but it's playing up - can't read cards. It may be dirty,,,, it may be bu@@ered. I don't know if there is a card reader cleaner on the market. Photo of the socket,,,, I can't currently take/upload images, but as soon as I can, I will. I just...

thanks for the advice. I did look at the equipment forum, but it didn't seem to be what - I thought - I needed. As to computer forum ? I need to know the usb plug type on the camera,,,, whatever the other end is plugged into. I'll try my best in the future.

Hi guys, As in title, I need to use the cable to transfer images to PC, but I'm not 100% certain of the USB type/size. I think its a Micro 2. All this time, I thought I had one in the bag, but it was a different thing. I need to buy one, so need to know for sure. cheers folks

Nope !? I'll stick to a UK retailer. The trouble is that the X-E3 kit works out a bit dear for me at the moment. Looks like i'll need to look for something similar - with 4K video - in my bracket,,,,,, I was very nearly there,,,,

Anyone dealt with TOBY DEALS ? I know they are in Asia, but if the rep' is good, I may not mind.

very useful - thanks. very slightly different to mine, but I looked anyway. No broken sd or bits in the slot,,,, but it's something to know for the future. I thought my cable was in the bag,,,,, so was excited when I went to get it out,,,, but it's a different cable !! I'll have to buy...

Thanks Ben, Some great points there. The X-E3 does have 4K. It also looks pretty great too. At first I thought it was out of my price range, but after tons of searching, both Google and soul (!?!)I can get one for just under £400 - more than I wanted to pay, but it'll be years before I...
