MacMurphy Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 What is the cheapest SD card you have used with the XT3 with no problems? I want to use the top video option in 24fps. How many GB will 10 minutes of the top spec 24 fps video take up? Someone suggested a 64GB card would do 15 minutes earlier in the thread, but I saw somewhere else that 10 minutes would be approx 30GB. Hoping to buy the camera in the next day or two, so would like to get the right cards at the same time. I am thinking as a backup plan to rotate 2-3 cards by copying video files onto cheap micro SDs in my phone so I can use the SD cards again whilst out. Any advice much appreciated.

It has OIS and a very, erm, "lightweight" construction but optically it is very good. Yeah, that lens is bananas in good light for $100 or so. Also just got the toy-like 15-45mm which is amazing at 15mm and will hold me off buying the 16-55mm for a good while. May not need it at all if my 50mm Super Takumar and 55mm Minolta Rokkor are sharp enough on this sensor. Got the 23mm f2 for WR and 7artisans 35mm f1.2 for lowlight. The latter flares badly but the 23 has CA open. BTM_Pix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fujinon XF100-400 mm F4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR, Black. Any thoughts about using a teleconverter, pro and con? I have one the XF100-400mm from my (mis)adventure in using the X-T2 for work. I can only comment for using it for stills and I didn't have any complaints about its sharpness or its AF tracking (the Ronaldo goal is part of a 10 shot burst where it nailed all of them) or the OIS but for my use case the slow aperture was a bit of a killer, especially at the long end and especially on a crop sensor camera. Not just low light performance (though that was a problem for floodlit games even in a Category 4 stadium like the Bernabeu here) but the subject separation just isn't there. The TC works well enough optically on it but, again, making an already slow lens slower was a problem for what I was using it for. proteanstar and buggz 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeanRevert Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Hi guys, Ran across an issue today and didn't see mention of it in the manual. When I have my hdmi monitor connected and go to Playback, it plays back to the hdmi monitor but the LCD is blank. Is there an option to disable this? I have my monitor flipped around to the front since this camera doesn't have a fully articulating LCD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flogbox Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Picked up the Fuji X-T3. Bribed my daughter with Maccas to model for a few minutes. No face or eye detect because i was rushing and just didn't think about it. You will see a few spots where it loses focus for a split second but if i had face tracking on at least i'm sure it would have been fine. Hopefully i uploaded the clip correctly. webrunner5, xzobinx, proteanstar and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was rushed and the shutter was set at 125 instead of 120 but surely that wouldnt make it jittery so much? So im not sure if i stuffed some other settin? Any ideas? I now have shutter on the top dial set to T and i use the rear dial to set the rate at 48/120/240. Im hoping that fixes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted March 5, 2019 Super Members Share Posted March 5, 2019 What frame rate did you shoot in and what frame rate did you set the timeline to? Suspecting a miss match. Other than that it looks really good. Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desk Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 A hopefully stupid question here, but I take it that I can use a Rode VideoMic Pro Plus with an X-T3? Does the X-T3 have plug-in power to support this? Desk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
