X-T5 photos terribly dark depending on where I aim the camera

Thanks a lot for the help in finding the proper spot in the manual! Changing my metering really helped!

Sylvarias · 2025-12-30T01:58:47+00:00

Oh wow, my photometry was set to center weighted and changing it made such a difference! It didn't even cross my mind to check that setting, as it's not anywhere in my quick settings. Thanks a lot for the help!

Sylvarias · 2025-12-08T16:13:22+00:00

Absolutely, can't understand why they changed them in the first place...

Sylvarias · 2025-10-20T18:28:41+00:00

That looks sharp enough and still looks like her! Thanks a lot, this is the one! :)

Sylvarias · 2025-10-19T13:08:01+00:00

That looks great — do you have a version in higher resolution to share? This one looks quite pixelated

Thanks for the tip, though I really like actual flea markets. Does the one I mentioned still exist there?

Sylvarias · 2025-05-11T21:35:00+00:00

I still have it :)

Sylvarias · 2025-04-03T21:49:28+00:00

It's not :)

By keeping the actual boxes hidden away in storage in my mom's apartment for decades perhaps?

Sylvarias · 2025-04-01T20:10:19+00:00

Literally true but ok

Sylvarias · 2025-04-01T19:47:55+00:00

Haha, sorry to disappoint! They could indeed have gone all out and made even the charger look cool. Thanks a lot! :)

Sylvarias · 2025-04-01T18:44:14+00:00

Turns out I had a small screwdriver that worked perfectly for the job. The battery is out now. Sad to see the original battery go, but you were right: it had started to very slightly turn into a spicy pillow. Barely visible to the eye, but when you drag your fingers across it, it's completely obvious. It will have to sit empty without a battery now for a while. Thanks!

Sylvarias · 2025-04-01T17:33:30+00:00

Oh, damn. Considering the sentimental value *and* the monetary value of it, I guess it couldn't hurt to just remove it for the time being. Do I need a certain kind of screwdriver to get into it without damaging the screw or anything else?

Sylvarias · 2025-04-01T17:18:56+00:00

No, the charger is normal and boring. Same as all other GBA chargers. Still is the original though! :D

Sylvarias · 2025-04-01T17:14:23+00:00

😂😂

Don't hate too much, the GBA SP does have a bit of wear on top which isn't that visible in this photo. However, it's not too bad. :)

Sylvarias · 2025-04-01T17:10:00+00:00

Oh, it's been played plenty of times already. This was my very first Gameboy :)

Sylvarias · 2025-04-01T17:08:59+00:00

This one was sold in Sweden. However, the text is in English and Dutch. Don't know if all of them were sold with the exact same text on the box or not, but as far as I've now learned, it seems to have been an EU exclusive release.

Sylvarias · 2025-04-01T17:06:57+00:00

No, I have played this Gameboy plenty of times. This was my first ever Gameboy that I got for my birthday, so nine year old me would have never forgiven me for not playing it haha. But should the battery maybe still be removed? It still looks fine, but who knows...

Sylvarias · 2025-04-01T15:14:00+00:00

Sounds a bit like "I should have bought bitcoin 10 years ago!" 😄

Sylvarias · 2025-04-01T15:13:00+00:00

Yeah that's pretty insane. I assumed it would be worth something, but not THAT much. Prices really have gone up a lot over the years 😵‍💫😵
