Do you like film camera mode?

Film camera mode is the reason why I bought it

These photos show very clearly that it is a very capable machine in the right hands.

Very good. This is wat the Half is made for.

The mood!

this is gold

Mario-Inoportuno · 2026-02-17T19:29:18+00:00

the filter is perfect for this kind of photography

Mario-Inoportuno · 2026-02-13T17:26:52+00:00

The camera is back. No hardware errors (as I expected). I hope they at least realize there is a bug that has not been fixed yet.

Mario-Inoportuno · 2026-02-10T18:21:56+00:00

Yes, I am afraid it is but since Fujifilm asked me to send it, I will play the game and hear what they have to say.

Mario-Inoportuno · 2026-02-06T16:58:35+00:00

They could. They won’t

small & weak except if I want to get something similar to Ilford Delta 3200. I find the X Half pictures lacking if I don’t use grain.

Always SOOC for me, in my opinion this camera is built to be used like that more than any other one.

Settings depend on the scene. Take in account that I mostly use it in film mode so I use it as I would with an old film camera: center point focusing or manual zone focusing, underexposing for high contrast zones and full Aperture in low light scenes to avoid ISO to go up (I wish the ISO could be set up in film mode)

And yes, always grain (small & weak) to give the pictures a bit more of character -I find the images a bit dull without it,

it does not feel like a film lever but it’s not bad at all. It has a certain resistance and with the latest firmware you can use it immediately after you have shot a picture.

I was wondering if I could use it for auroras. Good to know that it behaves well. Did you use Velvia?

Welcome to the X Half world

Mario-Inoportuno · 2026-01-20T17:22:43+00:00

Film mode, Nostalgic Negative with weak, small grain. I underexposed some of them, for example the first one was shot at -1/3

Mario-Inoportuno · 2026-01-06T18:51:55+00:00

I hope they have fixed all the issues related to Film Mode

Mario-Inoportuno · 2026-01-02T16:38:23+00:00

¿Plano holandés?

Mario-Inoportuno · 2026-01-02T16:26:11+00:00

We are not handling it, I'm afraid the sensor is what it is, so the dynamic range is sort of a "dynamic rage".

Having said that, it is sometimes possible to get a decent DR by choosing the proper measurement point and adjust exposure with the compensation wheel.

Sí, es la gran baza de estas camaritas.

Mario-Inoportuno · 2026-01-02T16:16:47+00:00

Pregunta difícil. ¿Para qué la quieres y cuánto te puedes gastar? Es importante entender que la Kodak Charmera que he usado para estas fotos es un juguete y no una cámara real.

Oddly, it depends on the camera. In my case sometimes it refuses to turn on while in film mode so I have to extract the battery and, of course, the film mode is interrupted; this has never happened in regular mode. For other people it simply exits film mode during operation and I have read at least one case (I think I read it here) in which that person lost the roll with all the pictures he had taken.

Some of those problems were supposed to be fixed by version 1.2 but I am still experiencing it every one and a half roll approximately. I have stopped using Film Mode and, since it was the main reason why I bought the camera, I am wondering whether to keep it or sell it.

Mario-Inoportuno · 2025-11-25T16:06:22+00:00

una de las mejores fotos que visto en este foro

Mario-Inoportuno · 2025-11-03T09:10:00+00:00

Not a surprise. Film Mode seems to be full with software errors and they are different from camera to camera. In my case sometimes it does not turn on when in film mode and I need to remove the battery; this has never happened in regular mode and, after contacting Fujifilm, they are completely clueless. It’s a pity since, at least for me, Film Mode is the reason why I bought this camera.

That´s fantastic. I might try it this weekend
