Fujifilm is Suing More Than 50 Grey Market Camera Sellers For Unfair Competition

By Louis Ferreira | Published: October 15, 2016

Worldipreview reported that Fujifilm is filing lawsuits against more than 50 grey market sellers in the US:

“Digital camera manufacturer Fujifilm has targeted more than 50 defendants in an action for unfair competition. Filed at the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York on Tuesday, October 11, Fujifilm’s suit alleged that the defendants, which include retailers, wilfully imported and sold grey market cameras. According to Fujifilm, the cameras physically and materially differ from products authorized for import to and sale in the US.”

Fujifilm has been very litigious lately and I am not sure the bad PR is going to be worth the results if they should win. Canon filed and Olympus have filed similar suites in the past.

The Fuji Guys X-T2: New AF-C Custom Settings Explained

By Louis Ferreira | Published: October 12, 2016

The Fuji Guys released a video guide to the new Fujifilm X-T2 AF-C custom mode settings that makes the new settings very clear. The 5 presets of the X-T2 AF-C custom menu vary the Tracking Sensitivity/Speed Tracking Sensitivity/Zone Area Switching to maximize performance.

Tracking Sensitivity – Delay from when the camera loses sight of the subject it is tracking, to when it tries to pick up a new subject. So if the camera is set to 0, the camera will adjust the moment something moves in front of the subject, but if you set the camera to 4 the camera will pause.

Speed Tracking Sensitivity – The way the camera predicts the position of the subject as it is moving, while it is being tracked. If it is set to 0, the camera predicts a constant rate of speed, but if you have it set to 2 or 1, the camera will take into account changes of speed when predicting where the subject will move too.

Zone Area Switching – Only applies when the camera is set to zone AF mode and allows you to prioritize which part of the zone is in focus. So you can set it to center/front (closest to the camera)/auto (first subject the camera locked onto).

The video is loaded with good examples of these settings applied and explanations of when to use each of 5 presets if you don’t want to set your own custom settings.

Fujifilm Photographers have been subjecting their X-Pro 2’s and X-T2’s to some extremes since Photokina and writing about it in the Fujifilm-X site and Blog.

Tommy Simonsen has been pushing his gear in extreme arctic conditions well beyond those encountered by the majority of photographers in a lifetime. In his article he discusses the importance of keeping batteries warm and rotating them into his pockets multiple times before they are completely dead. His camera also sleeps outside at night, secured in a water proof sack so that condensation is never given a chance to form.

Maya Sugiharto and Aviva Minic go untethered in the Australian outback where they encounter severe weather conditions including flash floods, mini cyclones, thunderstorms, gale force winds and red dust storms. They switched from Nikon thanks to the Fujifilm X100S and aren’t looking back.

There are also two lens specific articles from Fujifilm, about the excellent Fujinon XF16mm F1.4 R WR and the new Fujinon XF23 F2 R WR.

The Fujinon XF16mm F1.4 R WR has become many photographers go to lens for photographing weddings/music/photojournalism/street and more. Check out this short article for some impressive work from a variety of photographers and their impressions about this great lens.
