Fujifilm X-E2



Updated my one day old X-E2 to ver 2 no problem. Friend updated his two months old X-E2 to ver 2 and now sees little sparkling noise dots appearing randomly on his LCD when his lens cap is on the lens. He is wondering why is it so and trying to contact Fujifilm now.

I checked my X-E2 and in aperture priority mode with AF set to M I also get a whole screen of digital noise spots flickering all over. This affect both the LCD and EVF as long as the lens cap is left on the lens. Once you remove the lens cap all is fine. I am sure the good people at Fuji will have a solution to this quickly enough but would suggest bros with X-E2 hold on with the firmware upgrading for now.

It's like this already before firmware update. What happens is when it's very dark, the evf n LCD boost gain to help you to compose, when lens cap is on, the gain is maximum, and signal is 0, so u see random digital noise.

I don't think there's any problem, first this won't show up in photos, and after all you wouldn't take a picture with lens cap on right?
 

updated ver 2... No problem !

Loving it !

Cheers!

Yes you are right. Just didn't noticed it before the upgrade. Guess we'd always take the lens cap off before we turn on the camera.
 

Hi guys, any idea what the price for the basic kit? Theres some Fuji promo going on?

No promo for X-E2. Pricing can be check by walk-in at Funan shops .. TK, SLR etc. They may provide some free goodies..
 

the Match Technical is really good. I used it on the Xpro 1 before I sold the package. Its luxurious and since u are spending, get the best it helps u take better pictures. The combo with the Xpro handgrip transform the X pro to a diff animal. U owe urself to try if the diff on XE2 is as great. happy shooting

For the Lensmate I'm not sure where to find it locally, maybe someone else can help.
For Match technical , u can find it at Chiff cameras (I was just there today ) as they are the local distributors.

I do find the Match technical thumbs up on my XE2 better than the Lensmate on my X100s, but end of the it's subjective I guess. The Lensmate is definitely good enough , being better than most of the cheaper knockoff versions on EBay.

Lensmate's around SGD 9x plus shipping. U can find a few friends to save on shipping. The Match technical is around $16x to $17x locally or u can also order direct from the website.
 

to all xe2 user, do u guys press down AF lock button when pressing the shutter button ?
 

u half press the square become green. then need press af lock to lock the green
