nicely done. I find your presentation more enjoyable compared to the over the top histrionic youtube camera reviewers.. thanks

Thanks! Glad you found the video useful. :)

Absolutely love the idea of a "VIRTUAL DIAL". Fujifilm please! Well done, fully agree, but prefer other workarounds, since indeed also in Bird photography you sometimes want to close the aperture somewhat to get more depth of field. My workarounds: Have stored "Bird" settings (manual mode, fast shutter speed, max. aperture, auto iso, bird detect etc.) in a custom setting (e.g. C1). In there, the exposure compensation is set to zero. Therefore, if I want to reset exposure compensation, I just quickly turn off and turn on the camera (the x-s20 is back running quite quickly), which sets everything back to the original setting, including exposure compensation (unless you have selected "auto update" for the custom settings). Also far from perfect, since you obviously lose some time until you are back to the shutter speed setting (and maybe aperture) you need for the specific situation. A probably even faster way to do it would be to assign "back to C1" to a custom button. But I haven't tried this yet. Or: You quickly focus on the sky and turn the exposure compensation dial until the EV shows exposure compensation zero again. Also: The dial has "clicks" for 1/3 stops, and I kinda learned to feel and memorise the number of clicks I have turned it right or left, so I am (not always) able to turn it back the same number of clicks (no problem, if I am off 1/3 or so). But this method is obviously error prone, if you go more than 3-4 clicks. P.S.: Tried "Back to C1" button. To no avail. None of the manual settings (shutter speed, aperture, exposure compensation) is restored to the C1 preset. Only "C1" appears in yellow. Weird. Don't understand.

Thanks, I have C2 set to 0ev, C3 to +1 and C4 to -1ev so i can use the custom dial to be more accurate. Wish there were more custom modes! Totally get you on counting the clicks, but you are right, its easy to loose track. Fingers crossed for fuji to add this in

Good Idea with C2 etc. P.S.: Tried "Back to C1" button. To no avail. None of the manual settings (shutter speed, aperture, exposure compensation) is restored to the C1 preset. Only "C1" appears in yellow. Weird. Don't understand.

Hay nat. Found your video while having the same problem. Maarten Heilbron did a vid about xs10 exposure. What you can do is map a reachable function button to M+EV. That switches both front and back dials to exposure competition. I use the AFon button. Please keep up the sx20 content.

Oooh, thanks, will check this out!

Exactly having the same issue ! Pls Fuji provide us with the information also in manual mode

Yep! Its such a simple fix!

On my XS10 I have a glitch with the screen histogram. when the camera is in S with auto ISO and exp comp at 0 and I have mistakenly moved the SS to outside the range of the aperture (causing the f number to become red on the screen) the histogram remains unchanged and doesn’t show the pic as being over or under exposed. As I don’t always check the settings, and avoid chomping, but rely on the histogram to ETT I have found my pics regularly over exposed. 😂 Is this just me? Doesn’t matter whether the lcd is in natural live view or not.

Natural live view turns of simulations to the exposure, such as film sims. It's mainly for night or long exposure shots, so I'd turn it off for normal use as the histogram won't work correctly in this mode. As long as exposure simulation is on, that's fine, however when the display for aperture or shutter goes red, this is because you are in Shutter or aperture priority. If you say, were in shutter priority and you set the shutter to 1/8000 and the lens could only open to F4, it would display in red if the exposure could not be achieved. With natural live view off, the histogram will work. Also I. Shutter or aperture priority, the EV dial works normally, -1 EV is just that, as is +2 EV. The issue I discussed was full manual with auto iso, then the EV meter behaves oddly, and you cannot be sure where the dial for EV is set as it's not marked.

Thanks for you spending your time to reply. I agree with your issue but I don’t often shoot in manual mode, I normally use apeture priority. My issue is only in shutter priority which I recently though I’d try. In your scenario in shutter priority when the shutter speed is set to 1/8000 and the lens at f/4 shows red the histogram is still displaying that the photo is correctly exposed rather than pushing all the way to the right. This happens regardless of whether live view mode is on or off. I shoot in MF with Back button focus and don’t use the half shutter press to focus. The f number only shows red when shutter is half pressed. So if using manual focus and looking at histogram for an exposure I have sometimes hurriedly snapped off a shot not checking the shutter speed and only relying on my histogram which is not accurate. I realise the mistake is mine but I feel the histogram should move when the actual photo settings are going to create a poorly exposed photo.

@@andreweberhard3873 ideally the histogram should move, but it won't as in any semi auto mode, the exposure is controlled by the camera. With natural live view enabled, the histogram won't work, the camera displays in red any settings that indicate a problem with exposure. Maybe this could extend to the histogram when exposure cannot be achieved. However turning off natural live view would enable the histogram to accurately reflect any exposure issues. As you are using back button focus, when pressed, the exposure is displayed. Adjust settings to prevent any red numbers. What you change depends if the camera is under or over exposing too. This is where the EV dial actually works. Set negative 3 EV in the case of under exposing and the camera should compensate by changing the aperture to F8. However ISO should be manually set too, or this may change over aperture!!
