About this deal

Far better than the defective fixed diopter of the X-Pro1, the X-T1 has a properly adjustable finder diopter.

To move a focus point, hold the AF button (probably the bottom button of the quad controller depending on how you program it) and press the four rear directional buttons. Press DISPLAY for the center AF point after pressing the (programmed) AF Select button. Then press OK to use the selected point. The X-T1 has a 'Red button' for direct movie recording at any time (on the X-Pro1, X-E1 and X-E2 it was accessed as a drive mode). But video really isn't the camera's strongest suit - it may be easier to start and stop recording than before, but the quality of the footage really isn't great, especially if you view it up close. Manual exposure control is also rather limited; you can set the aperture before you start, and change exposure compensation while you're recording, but you have no control over the shutter speed or ISO. So if video capability is really important to you, the X-T1 is probably not the best camera to buy. Video specification The four-way directional buttons at the rear double as customisable function buttons. Two further custom function buttons are found at the front and on the top-plate. Forget the manual focus ring. Instead, tap the AF-L button for spot manual focus in manual focus mode. It will focus immediately on the subject, and hold it indefinitely.

Overall conclusion

The 1.04-million-dot reinforced LCD viewfinder can be tilted, which is a feature that won’t be popular with everyone but will make creative shooting options easier for those who choose to use it. Other Features A small detachable pop-up flash unit that mounts to the camera’s hotshoe is included in the box, and although it’s not particularly powerful, it will still provide some decent fill flash for portraits. Build and Operation Image: When used in the portrait orientation, the shooting info that’s viewed through the EVF automatically rotates for easier viewing. The electronic level was also used in this shot to ensure the horizon was perfectly straight Fujifilm X-T1 review – Build and handling How to Solve the Fujifilm X-T1 Light Leak Problem - Reviewed.com Cameras TJ Donegan Reviewed.com March 06, 2014

With the addition of possibly the most impressive electronic viewfinder I’ve ever seen on a digital camera, fast AF, weather sealing and intuitively placed manual controls, it’s hard to be anything other than positive about the new Fujifilm X-T1. When you use the Fuji, you'll see how they've actually been thinking about how to rethink what a camera should be and add new features that help us get the shot, as opposed to throwing more junk features in our way to help sell more cameras. Where the X-T1 can’t compete with the GX7, though, is in the coverage of AF points across the frame. Although a 49-point AF system doesn’t sound at all bad on paper, the X-T1’s coverage doesn’t meet the far corner of the frame as it does on the GX7. Added to this, the positioning of the AF point is achieved using the four-way control buttons, because the X-T1 doesn’t support a touchscreen. However, users should appreciate the option to alter the size of the AF point to one of five sizes. The included tiny hot shoe EF-X8 flash is fantastic. I get better-balanced indoor ambient flash exposures automatically, on the first shot, than with any DSLR or LEICA. THese save and recall only the image settings like color and shadows. THey don't save anytning about how the camera shoots or even the image size. All they do is save what's similar to what kind of film you're shooting.

Crop at 100% from above. If this is 6" (15cm) wide on your screen, the complete print would be 35 x 24" (1 x 0.7m) at this same high magnification. Complete full-resolution image. It's good only to a few feet in daylight, but indoors, wow! The entire programming of the XT1 is optimized to give gorgeous, well-balanced results like the X100S, far better than I get from DSLRs unless I spend a lot of time twiddling. With the X-T1, there's no need to twiddle; I just get marvelous flash results. The images look natural as they should, not forced as fill-flash shots often do with DSLRs. The X-T1 just shoots, and the results are always super-sharp and well exposed — better than I get from DSLRs, whose exposure and focus aren't always dead-on as they are with the X-T1. I prefer to set JPG NORMAL, not HIGH. The images look the same, and take up half the space on my card and computer. Fuji is actually advancing the state-of-the-art in photography, while other brands are just sitting around selling the same old thing. This Fuji actually has dials and a control system that work together, not like the could-have-been-great dials on the Nikon Df.Squarely aimed at the advanced enthusiast and prosumer photographer, the Fujifilm X-T1 enters the market with a large 2.36-million-dot OLED EVF that delivers class-leading 0.77x full-frame equivalent magnification, which is immediately pleasing to the eye and boasts an almost imperceptible lag of 0.005 seconds, closely imitating an optical viewfinder. The X-T1 is almost exactly the same size as its closest competitor, the Olympus OM-D E-M1 (shown here with the 12-40mm F2.8 lens). Both cameras are weather-sealed, feature hybrid AF, and have large EVFs and tilting screens. The Olympus uses the smaller Four Thirds sensor, but offers excellent in-body image stabilization which works with every lens.
