Manual Focus question

[SteveMc]

Hi, I want to purchase a Fuji x100 but I have one question I can't find the answer to.

If using manual focus set up at, say 7 feet to take some street photography type shots does this setting stay the same when the camera is turned off and then on again?

Thanks

Steve

Yes, the focus distance setting will survive an ON/OFF cycle.

Presumably, this answer means that you can now go and buy an x100...? ;¬)

Thank you, I thought I read it a couple of days ago but can't for the life of me find the article.

Yes, consider it ordererd 🙂

Is that a good decision?

If you have done your homework 😉 by reading the X100 discussions hereabouts . . . yeh, it's a good decision.

There are rumors the x100 will be replaced soon, announced January 7 . Maybe you should wait and see the new model.

I'd say "Yes", presuming that you've done sufficient research about the x100 to understand what you're getting (and also to understand what you're NOT getting!).

I'd say that most users' problems arise when they get an x100 in an attempt to get away from the DSLR experience, but still expect it to be like a DSLR in use... it isn't! 😱

Or maybe you should buy the X100 you have been studying and researching, know the good and bad points of, and have accepted as what you want rather than buying something brand new with unknown warts and brilliances to take advantage of.

I rarely buy on the bleeding edge. I bought my 2003 E-1 in 2008, after it had been obsoleted several times over. Know what? It's *still* my favorite DSLR, and the only one I've kept despite even better performance from its ancestors and competitors. It produces the photo quality I like and works the way I want.
