Two lock buttons surround this dial: AE to the left and AF to the right, to operate the metering and focusing separate to the shutter release.
FUJI FULL FRAME 2016 PLUS
When the thumb is free, when the camera is supported by both hands, it’s within reach yet another built-in horizontal dial, factory set to zoom during playback plus a push-click programable button, up to 22 functions. It allows the single hand use of the X-T2, leaving the index finger to operate the aforementioned controls.
FUJI FULL FRAME 2016 MOVIE
The X-T1 REC button is gone, and now we must turn the left-side DRIVE ring to activate a movie mode, that is far less practical.Īt the rear, the headline goes to the thumb support, very pronounced and well designed hard to find on most mirrorless cameras. At the top there’s another customizable button, behind the shutter release. At the front a built-in horizontal dial is used to pass photos back and forward during playback, or it can be programmed to other 22 functions. Those who cycle mirrorless cameras ON and OFF to preserve battery life, will be happy with this perfect ON/OFF rocker. Surrounding it is the ON/OFF rocker, one of the smoothest pieces I’ve ever used, making a pleasant experience on a daily basis. The index finger gently lands on a two-stage, spring-loaded, top shutter release, that feels smooth to the touch, but has strong clicks when it’s time to focus and shoot. In your hands the X-T2 grip in comfortable, with plenty of girth at the front, absent on the slippery X-Pro. They already have a great APS-C camera (X-Pro 2), and even a medium format (GFX), so maybe the market would absorb a Fuji full frame SLR, with the advantages of an optical viewfinder plus the mechanical dials that they puts on its cameras. But on the other hand it loses the compact mirrorless appeal, and I question why Fuji don’t create a traditional SLR all together, to use with its excellent Fujinon lenses. The good is it’s a comfortable camera to use, with a generous right hand grip, by far the best mirrorless body to use with larger lenses. At 132.5 x 91.8 x 49.2mm of 507g on an essentially metal body, the X-T2 is big to mirrorless standards, which can be both good and bad.
