[Official] X-Pro 2 Thread : The Pro Returns


Hi guys,

Wanna check with you guys on smth..

I am currently using both card slots.
Slot 1: raw
Slot 2: jpeg (provia)

I tried to do a raw conversion for a acros simulation but after pressing save, no acros jpeg is saved though.

Anyone also facing such a 'problem' ¿

It saved in the same card as the Raw file. Think Fuji need to fix this in the firmware
 

anyone using the Peak design straps on their Fuji cameras?..
if there a way to fit the anchors through the camera eyelet?

i am using it with the metal strap clip (triangular)which was provided by Fuji at the moment and it is really ugly.

I'm, and there's a very neat solution for this. Go look for Arkady at T K Foto, say Keith recommended u.

Best solution I can find so far.

sorry to jump in on this topic.
i'm looking for a solution on this as well.

does it involve cutting the anchor link's cord though? and re-attaching again?

Nope , zero damage done to camera body or your peak design strap. Totally reversible

Can try this method described by John Rourke:

paiseh, I finally had the time to do this, this is how the 'fix' from Arkady looks like.

basically clips of the right size that fits securely and removable if u wish to later. No cutting or any permanent damage being done.

Read this before but it requires removal of a small metal piece from the eyelet which then 'enlarges' eyelet.

More interested in the above method from Maclean photographic but no sure how it's done. Could be the same as the one by J Rourke

great shares. thanks!
although, i can't fit the anchors through the xp2's holes.
it seems that they used the older anchors, the newer ones are harder to compress.

i'll see if i can make a trip down to tk
 

The X-Pro2 gets a huge firmware update pushing its capabilities further today :) expect no less than X-T2 level of AF and tracking performance.

List of improvements :

List of improvements for the X-Pro2:

* 1. The NUMBER OF THE FOCUS POINT has increased.(*)
* The options available are 91 POINTS(7×13) and 325 POINTS(13×25) on the NUMBER OF THE FOCUS POINT of the AF/MF SETTING in the Shooting Menu.
* 2. Improvement of phase detection AF accuracy.
* By employing the new AF algorithm used in the X-T2, the AF accuracy has been improved.
* 3. AF tracking function has been improved when CONTINUOUS L in the AF-C mode.
* 4. In AF-C mode, AE function will work while pressing the shutter button halfway.
* 5. AF tracking function works while CONTINUOUS shooting in the AF-C mode with the Electronic Shutter.
* 6. AF tracking function works while CONTINUOUS H shooting in the AF-C mode instead of zone AF.
* 7. STILL IMAGE(single frame shooting) is available when CONTINUOUS L in the AF-C mode.
* 8. The focus point of Eye Detection AF has been changed to the eye closer to the camera.
* 9. Compatibility with the Shoe Mount Flash EF-X500.(*)
* Additional functions like the multi-flash lighting, high-speed flash sync and so on can be used with the EF-X500.
* Accordingly, the FLASH SETTING and the Shooting Menu is dramatically changed.
* 10. The items that can be assigned to the Quick Menu have changed.(*)
* FLASH FUNCTION SETTINGS and FLASH COMPENSATION have been added due to the compatibility with the Shoe Mount Flash EF-X500.
* 11. The roles that can be assigned to the Function buttons have changed.(*)
* FLASH FUNCTION SETTINGS, TTL-LOCK and MODELING FLASH have been added due to the compatibility with the Shoe Mount Flash EF-X500.
* 12. Addition of AUTO POWER SAVE.(*)
* AUTO POWER SAVE option has been added to the POWER MANAGEMENT of the Setup Menu. Select ON to save the power consumption and make the battery life longer.
* 13. Addition of setting time in AUTO POWER OFF.(*)
* 15 SEC, 30 SEC and 1 MIN have been added to the AUTO POWER OFF of the POWER MANAGEMENT in the Setup Menu.
* 14. S.S OPERATION option has been added to BUTTON/DIAL SETTING in the Setup Menu.(*)
* Select OFF to disable the shutter-speed fine-tuning using the command dials.
* 15. Change of the CORRECTED AF FRAME in the OVF.(*)
* Specification of the CORRECTED AF FRAME of AF/MF SETTING in the Shooting Menu has been changed.
* ·OFF:The frame moves according to parallax to show the focus point.
* ·ON:The CORRECTED AF FRAME in the OVF is fixed on the recommended value described in the Owner’s manual. If the minimum focus range of the attached lens is greater than the recommended value, the frame is displayed on the position of the minimum focus range.
* *Upgrade the firmware of the lenses after the firmware of the camera is upgraded.
* Camera Body / Lens Firmware Compatibility Table
* 16. The phenomenon is fixed that in rare cases the magnification of the OVF doesn’t switch appropriately when a lens is changed.
* 17. The bright frame movement in the OVF has become more smoothly while zooming in and out.
* 18. OIS function has been improved while using Electronic Shutter.
* 19. The phenomenon is fixed that in rare cases frames of live view on a smartphone drop while using the application software “FUJIFILM Camera Remote”.
* 20. The phenomenon is fixed that exposure sometimes doesn’t change appropriately in Aperture Priority AE while using an M MOUNT ADAPTER.
 

Where do you get that small rectangular clip? This is better than attaching the anchors directly.

Today Fujifilm has announced a cosmetic update to the flagship X-Pro2 with the Graphite X-Pro2 kit (with accompanying graphite XF23/2)
 

Hi all, I've been reading forums and watching reviews for a couple of days now. But I'm still somewhat on the fence. Today I visited the Fujifilm concept shop to try both the Xt-2 and Xpro2. I was initially keen on the XT-2 but it felt very awkward and weird in my hands. The Xpro2 on the hand just felt right. I know of the differences between the 2 cameras so don't have to get into details.

I just want to know why you guys chose the xpro2 (especially for those who bought it after the XT-2 was released). My heart is set out on the xpro2, but my brain is still trying to justify it.

I do mostly street, landscape and occasional portraiture. Dya think Xpro2 would be a good fit for these purposes (well obviously for street it is, but how about landscape?)
