1. In the EF (E-FRONT CURTAIN SHUTTER) setting, the warning of “TURN OFF THE CAMERA AND TURN ON AGAIN” could appear in rare cases when the FLICKER REDUCTION setting is ON.
2. Switching the CUSTOM setting can make the ISO AUTO setting return back to default when the ISO AUTO setting is changed.

Interesting firmware updates for latest X-cameras, including X-H1 and X-T2: https://www.fujirumors.com/leaked-full-details-of-upcoming-firmware-udpates-first-images-of-gf-250mmf4-and-gf-1-4x-teleconverter/

Notable for the X-T2 - 120 slow motion, internal F-Log, other substantial updates, no Eterna! sad face on that last point

Yes, I've been desiring internal F-Log for my X-T2 but that disappeared when I saw the Eterna profile. I was hopeful that would come to the X-T2. I have hopes of the Eterna LUT... But in playing with F-Log from the X-H1, the bummer about the LUT is that it applies a REC 709 curve which crushes shadows far too much for my liking. I know I could dial back the LUT's application some percentage but then you are losing the color as well. I wish there was an Eterna LUT with a much milder curve. When grading, simply applying a curve to F-Log pushes blues to teal or purple (depending upon initial WB), i.e. more fiddly color correction (which is fine, if need be), whereas the LUT just nails the color with a click. But that curve...

I currently have an X-H1 which I am debating to return. (I actually grabbed that Adorama deal from earlier in the thread. Thanks @Vitaliy!) This is tough - trying to determine if it brings enough benefit.

I LOVE the shutter, the Eterna, relative ease of switch between photo and video, internal stabilization, quickly grabbing both photo/video with my Fuji lenses.

The body grip is GOOD but I'm very happy with the X-T2 plus external battery grip. Either work well for lenses such as Sigma's 18-35. The X-H1 plus battery grip does appear larger to subjects - it's more noticeable - than the X-T2 and that's a bummer for the lower-profile event shooting that I do. I like to blend for candids. I would likely shoot the X-H1 w/o the battery grip at such events. 

I am MEH on the performance of the internal stabilization. It is great to shoot stabilized footage with my 23 or 56, etc. But there is jumpiness that I don't care for and at wider angles, there at times appears to be a "warp stabilizer" effect that I really loathe - I think it happens with a slight change of pitch rather than pan or tilt motions. I have been spoiled with the lens stabilization of Canon's 17-55/2.8 on my C100mkII. I've just picked up Fringer's Smart Adapter and now I really like that lens on the X-T2. It's just large, doesn't go to 1.4, etc.

I DISLIKE the amount of additional aliasing I am seeing in the X-H1 footage. We all know about the 120 slow-mo but I see it in the 60p in circumstances where the X-T2 has none. Need to look more at the 24p in both HD and 4K to compare.

So the aliasing and the irregularities of the IBIS are tripping me up thoroughly. Now with this firmware update. Hmmm....

@MikeLinn posted this in the X-T2 thread - http://colorizer.net/

Seem like a good starting point. I'm suggesting a mini campaign to request the creation of a -2, -2, -4 Eterna LUT as well. Will by him a "coffee" for sure.

Need some advice. A friend of mine is thinking of buying this camera. She works with both photos and videos. She was working with Canon 5D until now. She has several M42 Takumar lenses and one Canon electronic lens left. Will she be able to use these lenses on the Fuji Camera without quality loss? The analogic adaptor comes with an optical lens (normally these kind of adapters have quality loss) and obviously some of the features will not work, such as stabilizer etc. What do you think?

Any has experienced this adapter on this camera? How does it work? How about the IBIS?

Camera heats >50 degrees shooting 4K, very uncomfortable to hold
