You can go directly to 2.10, Fuji firmware updates are cumulative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not plus, but times. It is multiplication, not addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have 1.1 crop applied to a 2x crop, that doesn't mean you've got a 3.1 crop!! ha No, you have a 2.2 crop in action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he meant the + to be an “and” 1.5x. So I don’t think he was writing a formula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebrothersthre3 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I'd only use the face eye tracking for single subject close ups. This looks useful for almost anything. Awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanveer Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I am very curious how the 10-bit 4-2-0 vs 8-bit 8-2-0, both at the same bitrate (XT3 vs XT30). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing that test with the XT3 would probably yield the same results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Kuipers Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I'm really tempted to make this my hybrid camera as I already own the xpro1 and the 35mm f/1.4 and 18mm f/2, and shoot video on a bmmcc and the panny 12-35mm f/2.8. As I only use both for personal projects, this is a bit of a hassle. The thing that holds me back is the manual fly-by-wire focussing of the native xf lenses. On the xpro1 using manual focussing (in photo mode) is horrible. It jitters and the focus is visible in 'steps', not to mention the noise (audible thuck-thuck-thuck). Even if the autofocus modes seems to be good, I would prefer to fall back on a manual focus option that is useable. Can somebody please inform me about the native xf lenses and their preformance in manual focussing mode on the xt3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience they are basically impossible to manual focus at least if you are pulling focus for a moving shot. Focus throw is either way to long or too short. Thats with the 50mm f2, 23mm f2, 18-55mm, and 50-230mm This is pretty much standard across all brands though. I have a set of vintage lenses I use for manual focusing.

With this the focus get's predictable, but throw is very long. edit: the sound stays though. thebrothersthre3 and Martin Kuipers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pannasonic 12-35mm f/2.8 is also notorious for this, but I found that I could get acceptable results with practice. Did you also experienced the same stepping issue with audible sounds on those lenses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just tried the linear mode, actually works really well especially on the 18-55. Still prefer manual glass. Martin Kuipers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be the older lenses or camera that I have that causes it. So I’ll have to check this for myself. And yes I also have a whole bunch of old manual lenses that I like to use :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine the 35mm 1.4 should focus pretty nicely too as its on the large side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frontfocus Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 yes, it’s your lenses. The 18mm and 35mm f/1.4 are the oldest lenses and use loud motors. Newer lenses are better. Some by a bit, some by a lot. The f/2.0 primes are very good, the zooms are noiseless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
