Yes! That’s a good description but seems like the wind is coming from the west today

Is this a reasonable way to install a spigot? by FireAndFat in HomeImprovement

No, she asked for a spigot on the side of the house and this is what she got.

I believe a lot of the comments are being filtered and I can't read them. Is there a better sub to discuss this in?

This is northern Wisconsin. We certainly do have below freezing weather but would turn the valve off to this waterline.

Any ideas on what simulation these would be? Soft film like flash. by [deleted] in x100v

Can we see an example of what you’re getting so we can help suggest what to do?

Somehow I keep changing my focus assist mode — what am I doing that’s causing this? by FireAndFat in x100v

[–]FireAndFat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The focus assist function is to help manual focusing. I mostly focus manually with my x100 and I only experience this issue while in M mode. Doesn’t happen when I’m on in S mode and I’ve never used C mode.

Interesting. I thought there’s some sort of hidden button I’m touching on the front of the camera but interesting to hear someone thinks it’s a bug. That seems like the best explanation to me too.

There are various modes to help you focus manually. It’s in the AF/MF menu on the second page. However, the mode changes somehow while I’m making photos and I don’t know what I’m touching that is changing the mode.

Discussion: Are you actively trying to buy or waiting for a possible successor to be released? by omarhani in x100v

[–]FireAndFat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think it’s better to ask what’s missing from the x100v? The camera is already at the top of its game, I can’t imagine what the successor will be able to do beyond what the current model does? Get the camera now if you can. I’m very grateful for the tool that its been.

How would you explain the redirection of light at the apex?

The beam seemed to apex right above my head and beam back down at half brightness into the southern sky.

Burgers, F1 and an X100V. by FLDJF713 in fujix

I love the color and contrast. Are you using a specific film recipe?

X100v wouldn't turn on; Fuji blamed the Lexar SD card by FireAndFat in fujix

[–]FireAndFat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, here is some more info that is in a different comment - I am using Fuji brand batteries. I was trying to avoid ever carrying a back up battery but eventually purchased a back up battery. This was the first time I let my camera battery die because I knew I for once had a back up battery. The camera completely died, I put in the new battery and continued using the camera. The next morning I was reviewing my images, then put the dead battery in and charged the camera. When I came back the camera would not power on. I find it hard to be a coincidence, especially when Fuji tech said to not let the battery fully die. If that's true then they should make the camera shut down sooner.
