have fun with the new firmware


2.Each value set on ISO sensitivity and Dynamic range can be maintained even if aperture setting mode (P / A / S / M) is changed.

finally that part has been fixed.

btw, just wondering...must use card reader or not? cos i got no card reader tongue.gif
or can just copy the firmware file straight to the camera?
cos x100 no need use card reader, just copy file to formatted card on camera, then off-on and start the process.

rclxm9.gif  rclxm9.gif  rclxm9.gif  hopefully it will be resolved by than. can't wait for 12th march annoucement !!! now if the annoucement is official, will the shops carrying X10 be recalled back to Fuji Malaysia to have the sensor(assuming thats the culprit) change and sell back? how to also see which batch model as dun recalled seeing such label.

am quite newbie here. for this compact, when it says 28-228mm, does it mean the real 28mm or crop, i.e. 1.5 = 42mm - 342mm?

Can't wait to own one....
*
1stly, its 28-112mm.
the crop factor on x10 is basically 4x, or more accurately around 3.94x.
the actual length is written on the lens which is 7.1 - 28.4mm, so which after crop factor is 28 - 112mm.

i can just imagine fuji trying to replace the sensors of all the thousands of X10 sold within a yr worldwide, and do it within say a month.
keep dreaming tongue.gif

couple days ago i purposely went out and tried to look for orbs.
somewhat got la, but it doesnt bother me...and if fuji offers free sensor replacement i'll take it anytime.
my serial btw is 14m01***.

my free case i never bother to use, still in the box.
i using this for walkaround, RM40 only - http://www.manfrotto.com/nano-vi-camera-pouch-black
when i need more protection like go holiday etc i use this - http://products.lowepro.com/product/Apex-60-AW,1907,26.htm

Really? Can't find on the website.

ya, its not on their site.
i walked into their PJ outlet a few weeks back and saw it there.

and iirc, original x10 hood YL was selling at RM130.
this one also not on their site...so whoever is updating it is probably lazy.

I see... Actually the JJC no different with the original right since both also metal type.

if u use the viewfinder, then the JJC apparently blocks more cos doesnt line up properly.
i dont both use filter or hood for such a small camera anyway.
plus with the hood on, you cannot put the camera flat on a table.

Oh... i'm in Melaka so more convenient looking at Shashinki catalog. tongue.gif

Plus i compared between those 2 sites. Some stuffs are cheaper on Shashinki and some are cheaper on YL like the EF-20 flash.

Looking for a spare battery. How much is it at YL?

Wanting to shoot RAW+JPG. Still need to learn a lot about digital darkroom...
dunno about spare batt, cos i got extra one added into the package when i got my x10.

shooting RAW+JPG is what most ppl who want to use b&w will do.
so u set the color the b&w, which means the jpg come out b&w...but later if u want the color version u still have the RAW file to work with.

EF-20 iirc YL offered it for RM420.
the build quality is similar to the 3rd party ones like nissin with plastic hotshoe.
then again its suppose to be a sunpak rebranded, so not surprised.

anyway if u dont need bounce flash, the build-in x10 flash actually does a pretty decent job at throttling its output to match the scene, so u dont get as many hotspots.

Guys,

U all using the bundled strap? There is a small piece of leather which has a hole that goes into the pin at the camera right? My camera dropped twice today because of that damn piece of leather. It just keep slipping out, luckily I was using the original casing, nothing happened.

Perhaps time to get another strap with a different type of connector.
*
i dont even know what the bundled strap is like, all still in the plastic wrappers.
i straight away went and looked for an optech, which is what i use for my DSLR also.
so yea, using this - http://optechusa.com/cam-strap-qd.html


Added on March 22, 2012, 7:43 pmbtw, u talking about the neck strap right?
how did u hook it in? doesnt sound like its put properly to me.

i dont use neck straps for small cameras anyway, kinda overkill.


Added on March 22, 2012, 7:48 pmbtw, that small piece of leather is just to protect the body from the metal parts of the clip.
its not suppose to hold the strap in anyway...

Look at the pic joseph posted up there. The pic after the mosque. See the leather piece there? The strap will go in btw it.

[attachmentid=2751717]

I was using the black strap that came together earlier on, no problem hanging or whatsoever, but once i got the leather case I changed and the leather piece came out a few times which caused my double fall today.
*
looks like some ppl didnt read the manual, cos that strap doesnt look like its going thru the small metal triangle, and that is the piece thats suppose to hold the strap.
that small leather piece just on the sides to protect the body from that small metal triangle.

I looked at the site it's 448, 50 cheaper than Shashinki.

Yeah it is decent. Only problem is i have to take the hood off if i want to use the flash.

I've searched for it. It is cheaper but you won't be able use TTL with it right? Since the contact is slightly different even though the rest looks the same.

i just walk into YL and RM420 is what they told me.
the site is probably marked up abit to cater for online orders.

i'm very curious what settings u use to get orbs?

here are my 2 miserable failed attempts at trying to get orbs.
left side is obviously underexposed just to show where the hotspots are.
all shot in manual mode.

Lol that's really bad. I have yet to try shooting shiny things at daylight but at night it's proven to be as bad as your pic.

Maybe you're lucky to get a good copy!

The reason i didn't get the pouch even though the seller say it's "free". tongue.gif I got myself a Kodak pouch. Somewhat triangular but can fit the camera with the hood on.
*
its still down to certain settings used.
i guess this is a pretty decent thread on it.

The on/off switch on the x10 is not well designed  in my opinion. First it does not
feel precise. Instead of click"on"click "off" it is like going over a bump feeling when "on"
and going over bump again to "off." Real cheap feeling. Another problem is if you
dont shoot for more than 2 min. it will go to sleep mode.
Other cameras you just press
shutter button and it will wake up ready to shoot again. On the x10 you have to twist
lens to switch "off" and then twist the lens to switch "on" again before you can shoot
again. If you are playing tourist at some spot then you have to"on"and "off" the
camera too often.  vmad.gif
*
that is not a camera problem, but user problem.

the menu already has an option to turn off sleep mode.

btw, u dont need to twist the lens to return it from sleep.
simply press the picture review button.
obviously its not as good as pressing the shutter, but it works...also works when u just want to show ppl some pictures.
no need to twist the lens to on, just press the same button.
