Fujifilm X Half – This is How the Thumb Winder Works
We recently told you that the Fujifilm X Half will have a thumb winder similar to the first ever rangefinder digital camera on the market.
But will it be just a “fake” winder like on this expensive Leica camera?
Well, now we can also give you a few more details on how it works:
- when taking images, pull the lever to display images side by side – the “diptych mode”
- pull the lever to take another image when you are in “analogue mode” – which we explained here
- push the lever towards the body to see the last picture you have taken
So far this “multi-functional” thumb winder is the most intriguing part of the upcoming Fujifilm X Half for me.
But overall Fujifilm has gone very experimental with the Fujifilm X Half. I guess this is the perfect camera to take some risks and try out new concepts.
