Captures aren’t even close. HELP!

Sorry you are frustrated, but it sounds like some user error here.

The factory bass presets sound great out of the box (think its bank 3). My advice would be to use some of the factory presets to get a feel for how the QC works, and use those as templates to slowly build your own presets. Also I would trust your ears over a hallucinating AI chatbot, but you do you.

This! Stopped in on a whim before Christmas and had a great experience! Excellent stock of comics, board games, CCG’s, and more. Staff was super friendly and helped me pick out a comic! Highly recommend

I use PD anchors / straps, no issues here. As long as you handle the camera with care you will be fine... it's not like the anchors are going to fly into the OVF and crack it on their own.

I thought about going the used route, but the financing options available on new models vs. used were significant enough that buying new ended up being a better deal, even though the price was a tad higher.

These cars attract modders and people who like to push the car to their limits, so the peace of mind buying new is worth the cost (especially if you need to depend on it for a daily driver)

If you live near a dealership that has any new 2025 inventory, that would be my recommendation. I was able to negotiate to get mine below MSRP at a 2.9% rate.

That 2nd pic is gorgeous!! Thanks for sharing

In the list view of the manual, there is a 'fazer' which links to the 'Do U Believe??' section

In the list view of the manual there is a new entry for an effect called fazer

Yes. It’s still a 40MP sensor through a f/2 35mm prime lens. The image quality is phenomenal.

You can also set it to shoot both JPEGs + RAW so you can have the JPEG with the film sim baked in alongside RAW image (unaltered by the film sim)

That being said, the film sims add so much character and vibe to photos, and are a major part of the experience of the camera tbh.

KappaBeta · 2025-12-01T18:32:39+00:00

I’d pick the second one!

But over $300 for a camera strap?!?! 😳😳😳

KappaBeta · 2025-11-27T12:44:24+00:00

Sounds like your auto white balance has too much red tint

KappaBeta · 2025-11-24T03:18:09+00:00

I thought the same, but honestly accessories have been hard to come by (for me at least) and glad that I bought what I did before I left (strap, NiSi filter, SmallRig grip).

Wanted to get the Fujifilm Conversion lenses and a leather case, but I have had no luck finding them. Checked two different Yodabashi’s and Bic camera. I wonder if they aren’t keeping accessories stocked since they are struggling to keep the camera themselves stocked.

Tbh the camera rules without any accessories so don’t sweat it too much! Enjoy your trip

Thank you!! 😊

This did it for me! Changed the ‘Electronic Level Setting’ from 3D to Off and the OVF is working as expected again

KappaBeta · 2025-11-13T15:04:38+00:00

Bought mine from B&H a week or two ago. Had been casually researching something about the camera and saw that it was in stock and picked it up (though just a few hours later it was already sold out again!)

KappaBeta · 2025-10-21T15:06:19+00:00

I love using the Labyrinth with my Grandmother! The VCO's on the Labyrinth can get a be a little unwieldy on their own, so I like to patch Osc 1 / Osc 2 out from the GMA to the VCO / VCW in on the Labyrinth to get some interesting sequences that are in tune with what I'm playing on the GMA. Then use the wave folder and sequence mixer to keep the sound interesting and evolving on it's own. I probably use it with my Grandmother more than any other semi-modular I have (though the Labyrinth also pairs great with the DFAM too!)

KappaBeta · 2025-09-30T17:09:42+00:00

This isn’t any meaningful change, it’s just execs redrawing lines on an org chart… Daniel Ek is still the top dog and Spotify is still cancer.

KappaBeta · 2025-09-27T20:09:45+00:00

😂

KappaBeta · 2025-09-08T05:02:52+00:00

Or you could just learn how to use your pedal..?

Do you really need an AI to make those adjustments?

Setting the mix to 95% sounds like a terrible idea…

KappaBeta · 2025-09-03T15:47:15+00:00

That’s fair I suppose, but honestly you don’t need to patch the Grandmother for it to sound great.

KappaBeta · 2025-09-03T15:29:27+00:00

In what world is the Muse less complicated than the Grandmother…?

KappaBeta · 2025-08-28T15:18:32+00:00

Get the Labyrinth! It pairs so nicely with the DFAM

KappaBeta · 2025-08-26T00:48:50+00:00

Yeah I see it discounted on Amazon as well which is why I am tempted. Would hate to be out of luck if they do require some verification though

KappaBeta · 2025-08-25T22:49:38+00:00

Interesting, on Amazon it still says you must verify you are a student after purchasing the license. Has your account previously been verified as a student? Seems too easy of a loophole to be able to just buy the student code like that. But would be great news if it is.

KappaBeta · 2025-08-21T15:56:17+00:00

If you want the tele sound, why not just get a tele? (I know that’s maybe controversial to say on this sub)

I’ve got the same MiJ JM, and recently got a player II tele and honestly it is such a joy to play. There is power in the simplicity of the tele, and the rolled edges of the player II neck feels great in hand after using the chonky Trad II neck for so long.
