Very impressed with the X100s after a few days of shooting, having moved from a DSLR.
I just have a couple of questions about camera processing set-up if anyone can help:
1) Is there a way to make images shot using the 6 or 3 fps shooting modes save like the rest of the images? Currently I'm getting them saved under 'S...' (instead of 'D...' file names).
2) Is there a way to stop the camera holding the metering it takes when the shutter is half-pressed? I'm used to focussing with a back button, and getting used to the focus lock back button and switching to manual when I need to. Guess it will take a while to get used to the shutter button doing other things than just being a shutter button, which was the previous set up I had.
3) I did read beforehand there wasn't a way to turn off noise reduction (shooting RAW here). Is the best setting for RAW '-2' if I want to reduce noise afterwards in Photoshop?
4) I don't have the Adobe Camera Raw version able to handle the X100s RAF files. I'm using the Adobe RAW Converter to change them to DNG - does this result in any quality loss? Do I need to keep the RAF at all?
Thanks.
 
1) Not as far as I know.
2) Try setting the AFL/AEL button to AFL only and use manual focus mode. This essentially makes the AFL/AEL button into your back button focusing button.
3) I'm pretty sure the NR setting doesn't effect the raw files.
4) Buy Lightroom 5.
