Fuji X70 Owners Thread

[PSILVERMAN]

Sorted now thanks, I was the idiot that was giving it a long press instead of a quick tap to access. Thanks for your help though [emoji2][emoji2][emoji2]

I don't have my camera at hand but from memory you hit the Q button, use the direction buttons surrounding the menu button to move to your required setting, then toggle through them using the command control , push the command control to select.

 

[jimgallaher]

Sorry I just saw you'd solved the problem after I posted !

 

[addicknchips]

JPEG classic chrome. I must admit I feel a bit more comfortable taking this camera to the park rather than the 50-140

 

[jimgallaher]

That's the beauty of the X70 you can always have it with you, never miss a shot again !

 

[PSILVERMAN]

That was my idea for buying it Jim, can't wait to try it out.

First proper time out with the camera in my lunch hour today. All straight out of camera jpegs.

What's your considered opinion of the X70 tele - what's the effect on IQ?

I've only done a quick test as I've not used the camera much yet, its suppose to crop then reproduce at 16MP but you can only do this in JPEG not raw.

This review is pretty good: https://jonasraskphotography.com/2016/01/15/the-fujifilm-x70-review/

Not really into selective colouring but quite like this one.

Had a play with one of these today in Currys - can't get over how small they are !

 

[Throttle]

They are small i was surprised myself having the X100S in the past i expected it a little smaller yet it seemed even smaller than i expected it to be, great little camera that i carry all the time just sticking it in my pocket

 

[Throttle]

Thought id add just a few random photos ive took trying out my X70 whilst walking the dog

Local mill under refurbishment took using the tiltly screen through removed window at the time

[addicknchips]

Used my x70 loads on holiday last week. Unfortunately somehow managed to scratch the back of the screen quite badly.

This is one of my better shots. SOOC raw converted to jpeg velvia to phone.

one more from the holiday. St Ives Harbour

A couple I took at the weekend, the tilting screen is great for getting up close and personal (plus it saves the old back)

 

[jimgallaher]

Took the X70 out today while walking the dog.

Yes that's it the guy who owns the building also owns all the apartments further down in the picture.

Good vantage point for photos at times as well although this was x100!!![CODEA ride through the storm by -Andrew Duxbury Photography-][/CODE]

Has anyone tried infrared filters with the X70 and if so is it any good please?

 

[Barrysprout]

Just picked up an X70 on Wednesday. Lovely little pocketable Fooj.
Slightly puzzled but not overly concerned about the charging indicator. The manual says that while charging the light will be yellow. Mine is orange

Haven't tried yet but will see if I've got any step rings to try a filter in the next couple of days. My prediction will be a lovely hotspot but will hope to be proved wrong.

Thanks, will be interested to hear your thoughts.

Thanks, will be interested to hear your thoughts.

Just had a look through the "bits and pieces that I should really get rid of but daren't part with box" unfortunately I don't have an adapter ring or combination of rings to get from 49mm to 62mm. Took a quick shot out of the window just holding the filter to the front of the camera and it looks like it does have a hotspot.

Still interested in anyone else's charging light colour

 

[Bond6]

So tempted to get one of these

That's a shame, thanks for giving it a go [emoji2]

I think mine is orange. I keep it charging until the light goes off

Thanks Jonathan, it certainly seems to be doing what it's supposed to, the orange turns to green after a while. Presumably if I left it longer it would switch off, but it's a new camera so obviously I'm still at the excitedly watching the battery charge stage!

Mine is due a charge so I'll get on it today and report back!

 

[jimgallaher]

Mine is charging as now, it's orange at the moment, so I'll see if it goes green and report back.IIRC it just goes off when finished though.

 

[Barrysprout]

Thanks Jim. It was the orange that confused me. The manual says that it's yellow.

 

[jimgallaher]

Yeah, it just goes from orange to off.

 

[jimgallaher]

Thanks Jim. It was the orange that confused me. The manual says that it's yellow.

It does look yellowy if viewed from above, but straight on it's definitely orange.
