The Fujifilm X-T2 Mirrorless Monocular Fujifilm X-T18 is here!Before leaving for the XNUMX-day trip to Germany, I saw Blackface announced his latest camera review article "Fujifilm X-T2 unboxing + real shot"There are many photos of portraits, landscapes and portraits in the article. I like the hair color. I checked the camera’s specifications, weight, and price. It was decided that it would replace the backup camera on the way, even if Wendy goes abroad. In the interview, this machine is lighter in weight and has a fairly accurate white balance. When I come back, I can deal with photos more easily!

Why would I rush to buy the Fujifilm X-T2 flagship mirrorless monocular?
Initially explained my own experience and needs of using monoculars. I entered the photography class in 2007. Although I used Caon G series cameras in the past, I spent a lot of time buying books and researching Internet information. The master and my friends all use Nikon cameras, so the first monocular is from the N family, and even when it is upgraded to a full-frame monocular, it is still the main thing. I like the color of the scenery and I am used to it. There is no shortage of cheap but easy-to-use lens groups in the operating interface. The articles shared on the blog for the past 10 years are almost taken with N cameras. (Deduct camera evaluation articles)
I don’t know how many photography enthusiasts are the same as myself. On the one hand, they have to use "good quality" to stay in the photos when they want to see the scenery while traveling. On the other hand, they are exhausted by carrying all kinds of equipment during the daily schedule, but they can’t bear it. Let go of the monocular and the lens, and I was afraid that I could not capture the sight of a corner that shocked me. Later I felt that it was some kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder... Travel should be more literal and more of my own.In the past two years, I started to wait and see the lightweight single-lens camera. With mirrorless as the priority, we can get a lighter weight without losing the image quality. Usually, the Sony camera is the most commonly used by friends, and the NEX series have been used in the early days. For adjusting any function, you have to enter the menu. If there are not enough shortcut keys, you can directly Pass.
Before I set off, I saw an article about Fujifilm X-T2 unpacking and evaluation. It is the first real shot introduction in Taiwan. It's okay if you don't read it, you will be in the fire pit...!It took into account the needs of users, and made the three commonly used adjustment elements "ISO, shutter, EV" on the top dial, and this bad friend also carefully shared with me the difference with the monocular user interface, how to save use The weight and peripheral APP applications, when the province's channels were out of stock, returned to a group, and immediately rushed to pay for the bill, hoping that this trip to Germany would bring a different view.
※ Fujifilm X-T2 unprofessional unpacking photos
▲ The 18-55 Kit lens set is purchased this time.
▲ Equipped with F2.8-F4 aperture and high ISO of the body, the shooting situation under low light can meet my requirements for image quality.
▲ The purchase is company goods, and the box contains various manuals, warranty cards, etc.
▲ The X in the box can't help but think of the X-Men. (laugh)
▲ All kinds of original accessories.
▲ This time I go abroad with them to play together!
▲ Another important reason for buying this one is the "hot shoe". I plan to study the flashing lights later and practice shooting still life, so that it can be equipped with flashing light shooting operations.
▲ The screen can be opened up and down to increase the viewing angle.
▲ These dials on the top are very important to me, and you can also see changes in the electronic viewfinder when adjusting.
▲ There are two SD card slots on the side.
▲ Before I started, I always used the screen to watch and shoot. I was not satisfied with the performance of other electronic viewfinders before. I didn't expect to use it almost throughout the journey, and the pictures were very clear and easy to take pictures.
▲ Next, share the real photos and experience of this trip to Germany.
Fujifilm X-T2 real shot Part1-Landscape (blue sky).
When the weather is good and the air is clean, there can be a blue sky as the color of the beautiful scenery. It is really beautiful under light shooting, but my experience in the past is that unless HDR is turned on or a gradient filter is used, sometimes the dark and bright parts are different. If it is too large, it is difficult for the photo to balance the amount of light, so that the photo also has a blue sky without the view being too dark.As mentioned earlier, the reason why I almost used the electronic viewfinder for this trip is that when I tap the camera button, I can immediately see from the viewfinder whether the amount of light obtained from the different focus positions is what I want. The following photos are all used I finished the shooting in this way, and I like the blue tone of Fujifilm X-T2 very much. Just this level convinced me.

Fujifilm X-T2 Real Shot Part2-Food.
Due to the decoration of the gourmet restaurant, there will be a variety of light sources and colors in the shooting environment to test the performance of the camera's "automatic white balance". Of course, all kinds of camera operations can manually adjust the white balance.For travel recorders like us, sometimes I don’t want to spend too much time adjusting the settings one by one, and miss the best time to appreciate the delicious dishes in front of us. We have to take into account the short shooting time and the good quality of the photos. Friends also pay more attention to the accuracy of the camera's “auto white balance”. This time, I think 80% can meet the needs of the user. A small number of them are a bit weird when shooting on-site. I have to clarify it myself.
In addition, the food scenes this time were shot outdoors during the day, indoors during the day, outdoors during the cloudy day, and at night. You can see the environment from the photos. I like a little Japanese style "overexposure, low contrast", but if the light source on site There are some shortcomings. The contrast of the photos is a bit high, which is not my favorite taste. For those who like saturated tones and high contrast, you may like the original way of presentation.

Fujifilm X-T2 Real Shot Part3-Indoors, sunset and evening.
I used to run around carrying the mirror king in order to photograph the interior environment of the restaurant, the aquarium and some indoor places that cannot be photographed by flashing lights, and once fell on the streets of Bangkok to shoot the football team, and was hit by the mirror king K. There was no concussion. Now.In recent years, symptoms of wrist tunnel syndrome have started to appear. The main reason is that I work for a long time and use a computer. After traveling with equipment to take pictures, my two hand muscles will become irritated and my wrists will become painful when I return to the hotel. How to reduce the weight of photographing equipment carried during travel , But it will not greatly compromise the quality of the photo, which really tortures me. (I admit that I am a picture quality control!)
Fujifilm X-T2 is equipped with Fujifilm’s new third-generation sensor-Xtrans CMOS III. Seriously, this is the first time I have come into contact with this brand of camera. I can’t understand the improved quality compared to previous equipment, but I look back on my 18-day travel experience, handheld You can always have successful photos without a tripod, and the noise suppression and particles meet the needs of blogging.In addition, what surprised me the most was that the color temperature of Fuji's evening shots, the color of the burning clouds and the hair color were too pleasing, and the purple tone was very charming.

Fujifilm X-T2 Real Shot Part4-Flowers and plants.
I have always been interested in the theme of flowers and plants, and I will sprint to the travel goals of 3 cherry blossom viewing, 2 maple viewing, and 1 flower sea. I will arrive in Germany at the end of September and early October, and gradually fall into autumn and the environment will start to turn yellow and red. The greening maintenance ratio is so high, and there are parks, large grasslands, and tree-lined corridors everywhere, which are just right for my taste. I took a lot of photos of this type of subject and returned to me for recollection in the future.But the green hair color in the camera is so saturated or even a bit bright. I always like the plain taste... I'm still getting used to it, trying to set it up. It takes some time.One thing I have to make first is that the XT-9 can shoot "purple". The original Nikon D10 was unable to shoot the purple of flowers and plants. Checking the Internet information found that this is the principle that the camera cannot overcome, and only the purple can be photographed. Blue, I didn't expect that XT-2 can shoot purple. Next year, the Hokkaido Huahai group will rely on it.

Conclusion
In Germany, we visited Oktoberfest, palaces, food, nature, museums, etc. The lightweight but powerful performance did not disappoint me. I was very lucky to be able to take it home the first time!Originally, I wanted to add a real shot project to this article-portraits. I didn’t expect nearly 5 photos. There are not a few portraits. If you want to see the performance of Fujifilm X-T2 portrait photography, I recommend you to read the black-faced evaluation article. Finally, this This opening article is shared with unprofessional real shots. I am happy to have Fujifilm X-T2 as a birthday gift. I will leave it as a record today to share with you.
