I'm very pleased with all my Fuji kit and can learn to live with this minor inconvenience.
I don't like being beaten by tech, but this is becoming more trouble than it's worth. just over one stop, and it might be the resultant viewfinder brightness change isn't noticeable. In this test it went only between 1/80 and 1/200 sec. * But I've just now noticed I can only control the shutter over a very limited range. So your last paragraph MIGHT * be incorrect - it's indicating the aperture is wide open when in fact it isn't. It's obvious that it must be changing to match the shutter speed setting, as the the viewfinder brightness and histogram remain virtually the same. BUT it does not display the actual aperture in use. I thought it kept showing f3.5 in red (the limit on my Fuji 18-135 lens) but had not tried zooming, and yes, the indicated figure does change to show the wide open figure for each zoom range as you say. The test you suggested is exactly what I described above when I found changing the aperture above the top (f/number) let me control the shutter (* see below) but did not show the aperture setting change to match. Some folks prefer to use the T speed and roll the command dial through the various choices, but using the top dial as a limiter can prevent accidental choices. This technique allows you to get all of the standard speeds close to the main speed your top dial is set to. You can do that by using whichever command dial you have set to control the ss, in this case roll it backwards one notch to get 1/200. That is as it is supposed to be, but you may want to use a close speed such as 1/200 which is not on the dial.
If you set the top dial to a specific shutter speed, say 250, the camera will use 1/250 as the shutter speed. If the settings do not match, something is wrong with the body and you may need to do a full reset, and if that does not work, have a chat with the dealer.Ībout that shutter speed part. Again, if you are indoors, the camera probably is choosing wide-open for the f-stop. If you are indoors doing the test, the light can be darker than one realizes because within their respective limits, human eyes adapt to lighting levels much better than cameras do. The image should show up along with the shot settings that were in-use when you pushed the shutter button, -again as long as you have the displays set up to show these things- the settings, including the f-stop, should match what you saw in the view finder or lcd when you took the shot. Take a shot and then push the playback button. By chance are you sitting indoors? If so, go outside, or into some very, very bright surroundings and maybe boost the ISO above 400. Your lens is a XF lens, so putting the switch to A allows the camera to control the aperture, the f-stop. The shutter speed I will chat about below but I will try to keep it separate so as to not confuse things.
Okay, there are several things in your post.
