Just a note on an added functionality. When in playback mode, you can now cycle through blinkies + historgram (and the other info screens) by pressing the “up button” on the pad, OR by presssing the joy-stick “up.”
I find this more natural feeling than using the display/back button - which also brings up other “select/rate” type stuff in which I have zero interest.
Give it a try . . .
I have also mapped the blinkies + histogram to the front fn button. Also very natural feeling. I’m alternating between this way of “checking” and of just leaving the blinkies “on” via the screen setup option. So far it’s a toss up (the best option as others have said would be to be able to just toggle blinkies only, on and off via fn button - I’m amazed that no one at Fuji came to this conclusion in the discussion of implementation). I’m leaning in the direction of just leaving blinkies on all the time. (That way I can map the front fn button “back” to being DOF preview, which on occasion, is really helpful.)
I’m also currently testing to see “how much blink-if-i-cation” (“W.” would say it that way, I’m sure
) there can be w/o highlights “actually being blown” in the raw file. (Another “boooo” to all the camera mfgs who can’t get it in their head that lots of people actually shoot raw files and would like an accurate raw histogram - can it be that hard?). So far I’m at about 2/3 stop additional exposure from the onset of blinkies (specular highlights nothwithstanding).
