Did you adjust the dioptries in the viewfinder? Since you’re focusing manually, you might see something clearly but the lens will “see” something out of focus if not adjusted correctly.

oh right, it's been a while since i got my x100f.

in fairness, back in the DVD days (which was included in another discussion), some piracy dvd's had the same or higher quality than the so-called "original" DVDs, which were also made in China and had an excellent quality.

haha, you're mean to all of us non-professional photographers :D

to answer your question, you've got to hold the camera of the manufacturer who sponsors your work.

also Fujifilm

Hi Rick, thank you, I'd love to send the camera for repair, however, I am based in Mexico, so shipping across borders would be an issue.

I'll try to find something locally this weekend. Happy holidays!

Thanks, I’ll look them up!

Thanks Bill. I’ve tried repairing things myself and must admit I usually end up making it worse 🙂

Thank you guys. I’ll try to find a place to service it.

Hello guys,

This morning I tried using my camera in video mode. It turned out ok, then I received the err 20 message. the mirror wouldn’t go back to its position although I’ve already tried removing the battery, swapping lenses and turning on and off the camera several times. I can hear twice a moving sound when I try to turn it on.

Anyone here ever faced this error? Living in a small city northwest Mexico does not make it easy finding an authorized canon repair center and the camera is way out of warranty.

Thanks in advance for any insight. Stay safe.

you can't go wrong with Fuji.

I also wanted to try the Ricoh grIII but never got around to do it.

I have had a X100F for a couple years now. Some of my favourite photos were taken with it. I think it’s super easy to use. By now its price should be around $1,000? Definitely less if used.

I turned 40 this year, I'm still for DVDs, actually that's what I use my PS4 mainly for. I wish milk was still delivered to my doorstep in cream separator bottles. I wish people would still interact as they used to and send SMS instead of whatsapp or messenger messages, or even better, use the stupid phones (as opposed to "smart" phones) to make phone calls!! I wish there was more privacy in this IOT world. I wish that people took seriously the scientific studies that have shown the negative effects of health from radiation and not jump on the first 5G phone they can grab a hold of. I wish I could still have a walk to the video store to pick up some DVDs for the weekend instead of sitting around in my couch looking for something to watch for hours and hours but not finding anything interesting. I wish people would sit at the table and talk instead of just scrolling on their phone screens. But most likely the world will never be again that way.

Anyway, it is what it is.

Regarding the main topic, you could use a Linux-based computer and try ffmpeg to create your DVDs. Most Linux distros are and always will be free.

will they create cameras that can give Harry Potter - like photos? that'd be revolutionizing. adding more MP, more stability and more of the same in such a saturated market just won't make it.

Clearly I am a bit outdated :)
