Fujifilm X-E2 Camera - Silver (16.MP, CMOS II Sensor)

Product Information

I even passed up on other digital Leica products for this review because none of their products give you a similar experience as a rangefinder (no built in finder/split prism mode, much more expensive too). I have also mainly used aperture priority with exposure compensation for around the last 30 years and not many pictures get away. To change the camera to Manual Mode, you pick whatever aperture you want on the lens and pick whatever shutter speed you want on the camera.

As I've mentioned before, Fujifilm are to be commended for their comprehensive and feature adding firmware updates. No, I didn’t measure that, but there was no need, it’s entirely fast enough to not let a capture worthy moment pass. This would save a lot of time and frustration for many photographers including myself since there is no need to press a button just to move the focus point!

The default behavior for the view mode is “Eye Sensor”, which by default shows everything on the LCD and switches to the EVF when the sensor is activated. In addition to the bigger and higher-resolution 3 inch LCD monitor on the back, which offers 100% scene coverage and 1. It is so bizarre to lift the camera to my eye and see a completely different view than I saw just a second ago, it throws me off completely. Keeping your shooting habits simple and focused like this will really help improve your photography.

There's usually no Program shift available most ways that you can set the camera, but that's not a problem, since all you need to do is flick the aperture or shutter dial instead. Adobe has many of the popular presets already for you in Adobe Camera Raw, but I prefer to use the standard Adobe color profile, the film presets are too contrasty for my taste, unless I'm being experimental. To change the camera to Aperture Priority, you leave the top shutter dial at “A”, while rotating the aperture ring to an aperture of your choice. The X-E2 excels for black-and-white shooting because of its extraordinary sharpness and freedom from distortion, and I love shooting in its optional square format just like my Mamiya 6 or Hasselblad. The X-E2 can use LEICA and other brands of lenses cave-manually with a Lens Adapter, but I wouldn't use anything other than Fuji's XF lenses on my X-E2.Thank goodness the X-E2 names files correctly in its high-speed shooting modes; the X-E1 used to name them something completely different than normal shots. The thing is, until I tried the X-E2, there was a condition I never even realized existed for my skill to estimate exposure. Once out of the box, you’ll have in your hand a deceptively light vintage looking camera body, encasing a 16.

Nikon and Canon's nature and landscape shots offer wild colors that still look natural, while pushing the Fujis and LEICAs start to look artificial. Another defect can be that when shutter is halfway down, the X-E2 won't swap between rear LCD and OLED finder as you move your eye. The positives far outweigh any issues I might have despite this particular issue receiving so much of my attention. It drives me nuts shooting a DSLR or LEICA when I can't see my image pop up instantly in the finder after I've shot it — as I do with my X-E2. So, unless it is the light that changes often and I can’t anticipate it, I will almost always naturally switch to M with my Nikon.Manual focusing is activated by setting the focusing switch on the front of the camera to Manual and using the ring that encircles the lens to focus. The X-Trans CMOS II also has some dedicated pixels for phase detection, along with the contrast detection.

Fuji themselves make a Leica M adapter for their cameras, so it's plainly obvious they are inspiring users to shoot in this fashion.
