Fujifilm X-Pro2 :: ISO Dial, Yes or No? Here is the answer… and it could be a Pretty Cool Solution :-) :: SRP

Will this be the ISO dial solution of the X-Pro2?

[wysija_form id=”1″]

_ _ _

One of the big questions regarding the X-Pro2 is: will it have an ISO dial? Looking at the FR-Poll, it’s clear that most FR-readers would like one.

Loading ...

Well, it seems that Fuji listened one more time to our preferences (did you know they read us?), and will put an ISO dial on the X-Pro2… at least according to a source, who was right in the past.

But where will Fuji place it?

I asked the source, if Fuji chose the design solution of the Leica M6, with an angled dial. But it doesn’t seem so. The source said, the solution should look more like the one used for the Pentax Spotmatic camera.

If this is correct, this means there could be a little window on the Shutter dial, where you can see (and adjust) the ISO value. You can see it here… and I have to say that, if true, I actually much prefer it over the angled Leica M6 dial.

I tell you, it’s really hard to get on X-Pro2 rumors. But I’ll do my best, fire off some emails to trusted sources and see if they can confirm the shutter/ISO dial. In the meantime, take the grain of salt.

How To Get the HS-V5 Tethered Software in USA

A FR-reader was able to get a copy of the HS-V5 tethered shooting software in USA. Here is what you have to do:

“Tethered Shooting Software IS available in the United States directly from Fuji USA. Call (800) 800-3854 [FujifilmUSA Customer Information Services] – Prompt #4 (Parts). There you can order Fuji’s HS-V5 Tethered Shooting Software for the Fuji X-T1. You have to wait a long time (it took me around 45 minutes). When you get through, be sure to talk to Kelley. The software price is $121.63, plus $9.95 shipping, plus tax (if you live in New Jersey). I ordered it over the phone with a credit card. Kelley told me that the HS-V5 software is available at retail in the U.S. at stores like B&H and Adorama, but they do not show it online. Another person at Fuji told me last week that the software is slated for availability by mid-December. It seems that the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. Fuji has great cameras and lenses, but really falls down on customer service. Too bad. BUT, I got the software!”

Sinjun: “I’m getting much better results when shooting action shots with the Fuji X-T1 since installing the 4.0 Firmware update. Six year old Mack was running full speed on the roof of a house when I saw what he was doing out of the corner of my eye, but I still managed to capture a few frames at 8 fps that were all in focus including this one.“

Organic Sensor: On Feb.1, Panasonic will talk about an Ultra Low Noise 120dB+ (!!) Dynamic Range organic sensor!

November 28, 2015
Rumors

photo Organic Sensor_zps5rutpzz5.png

_ _ _

Back in June 2013, Panasonic & Fujfilm announced, that they were developing an organic CMOS sensor, which, amongst the others should be capable of:

– industry’s highest dynamic range of 88dB
– 1.2 times higher sensitivity than conventional sensors to capture clear images even in low light
– range of incident angle expanded to 60 degrees for faithful color reproduction

But since then, we didn’t hear anything about this almost mythical organic sensor. The last thing I’ve heard from sources, was that Fujifilm and Panasonic were having problems due to too much heat being generated and high battery drain. And 43rumors said the sensor is stil 2 or 3 years to go.

Will it ever become true? I don’t know. Many of us also started thinking, that Fuji and Panasonic completely dropped its development… but maybe that’s not the case.

In fact, on February 1st, at the 2016 IEEE International solid-state circuits conference, Panasonic is giving a talk about an “over 120dB Dynamic Range Ultra Low Noise Organic CMOS sensor”.

So, if this is the development of the same organic sensor that Fuji & Panasonic announced back in 2013, then it means that not only they didn’t drop plans on it, but they were even able to improve its performance, boosting its dynamic range from amazing 88dB to astonishing 120dB+.

I know many of us just started salivating, but we better be careful with this information. It could still be a pretty long way off, before we’ll see it implemented in a Fuji/Panasonic camera (if ever). But in any case, on the 1st of February, we should all listen carefully at what Panasonic has to tell us.

thx to the FR-reader for the link :)
