The Official Fuji X10/X20/X30/XF1/XQ1 Thread

[juancarlos66]

With the XF1 is it better to use auto ISO ?

 

[minnnt]

I just use it on 100 or maybe 200/250 if I have to. I find higher iso levels push me into b&w as I hate the noise.

 

[juancarlos66]

100 is what I have mostly kept it on. What does the 400 auto setting do ?

 

[minnnt]

Not sure as I haven't used it but I would think you can set a minimum shutter speed otherwise it would be pointless having auto iso?

 

[minnnt]

What settings do people use for the image stabilisation?

 

[landwomble]

The screw in supplementary lenses would slow things right down. Might as well get an X-Pro1 and an 18-55 zoom - slower aperture but probably cheaper than an X-100 and the 2 supplementaries!

They don't lose any light, apparently.... Around 200 quid for the tele, apparently no noticeable loss of IQ either...!

Had quick play at lunchtime with the fixed xf1.

Mucho bettero.

Sorry, I meant in terms of time rather than aperture! The XF lenses (indeed, all the interchangeable lenses) are bayonet so very quick to change. The X-100 is still very limited as far as focal length range goes even with the supplementaries.

How the heck did you get that effect ? It's great.

 

[minnnt]

You turn the dial to 'Adv' and then select 'miniature' from the menu. There are quite a few pics on this thread, i've added a few.

Thanks.

As per David's post above, you do have to be at a higher view point for it to work.

 

[minnnt]

Have you tried the actual 'toy camera' filter?

I have before the camera went in for repair. You are right it actually miniature mode as opposed to toy mode.

Getting old and loosing my memory... ops:

Didn't like to say...

Very polite as always.

 

[juancarlos66]

Well it's now on my "to try" list. I must explore the settings on the XF1. Thanks David.

Can't wait for the 'Damian takes a shot that isn't into the sun' sequel. Should be a cracker!

 

[deprivedofsleep]

Wow this thread moves fast, guess the little XF1 is popular.

Takes me forever to sort through my photos, as such, here is an old one from the wintery months:

I really like this shot Jon, the focus through the black cabs window is fantastic.



And i also love this shot too, Ric. The expression, processing and the cameras on her top are all perfect.

Top marks to you both!

Thanks David, that's very kind!

Wooooooah! Told'ya it would be a cracker!!

Crop some off the LHS to move the tree across a little.

 

[damianmkv]

Any better ? Just on my way to work so no time

How annoying, work getting in the way of photography !

 

[damianmkv]

I know - it's a complete nightmare

 

[Llamaman]

Ignore post...

 

[minnnt]

Looking coolio now.

 

[Eosai]

Managed to try out my new X10 last night, I'm amazed at the quality of some of the shots with so little light from something so small......I do however long for the hybrid OVF of the X20

 

[Leslie]

Impressive service from Currys! I ordered an XF-1 yesterday and have just collected it from my local store at lunchtime today.

Why the hell can't they ship cameras with a charged battery though!

 

[minnnt]

Lol.

Yep, the IQ is awesome grom the EXR sensor.

David,

Another nice shot, when do you get time to take so many pics and edit them?

 

[minnnt]

Usually take them in work time and edit them at about 5 in the morning... :sleep:

I'm a little disappointed with it tbh, i think the flat lighting worked against me... I think the xf1's forte is street photography for me personally.

 

[sep9001]

5 in the morning, what time do you wake up?

 

[damianmkv]

Was that RAW David ? I've just started looking at RAW and it's amazing what's hidden..

 

[minnnt]

As I've been saying since my first XF1, RAW is amazeballs. The amount of detail you can pull back should you need to is nice to have. Yes this was RAW, never bothered with JPEG since I posted the one of the mini tripod earlier on in the thread.

Kev, usually up about 4.45am.

What time do you go to sleep?
