The Tiffen 62mm Digital Diffusion/FX 1/2 Filter is a softening and diffusion filter specifically meant to appear invisible, as if no filtration is being applied. Compared to other diffusion filters, this filter offers virtually no flare or loss of contrast for more subtle applications. It helps to lessen facial blemishes, wrinkles, and gently smooth textured backgrounds while maintaining sharp focus. The 1/2 density provides more softening than the 1/4, but less than the 1.

This filter is constructed from Water White glass and is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and then mounting to precision metal rings.

Q: 5. There is no longer a "view mode" button as there was on the x100F. Is it possible to set the x100v to "viewfinder only", so as not to wait for it to switch over to EVF when you hold it up to your eye?

A: For the most direct way to set this up see page 207 of the manual. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1542674-REG/fujifilm_x100v_digital_camera_black.html

Q: 6. Does this camera need regular sensor cleaning? Does it get sensor spots?

Q: 7. In manual mode does the ISO default to a set number once exposure time is greater than 1 second?

A: If you set the ISO sensitivity to Auto or Fixed Range Auto while in manual exposure mode, the ISO sensitivity is fixed to ISO 100.

Q: 8. There's a small button on the camera-back, below the shutter speed dial. By default is selects various cropping sizes. It can be customizable though. Can you set this button to be a back-focus button, instead of pressing halfway on the shutter button on the camera's top?

A: According to page 149 of the Leica Q2 Monochrom Digital Camera's instruction manual, the Zoom/Lock button on the back of the camera may be programmed for use as Digital Zoom or as Metering Memory Lock (AEL/AFL, AEL, AFL). Page 47 states how to adjust the settings. It states the factory setting is Digital Zoom, but you may alternatively assign automatic exposure metering and/or metering memory lock to the Zoom/Lock button. It states select [Customize Control] in the main menu, select [Zoom/Lock button] in the submenu, then select [Digital Zoom], [AEL/AFL], [AEL], or [AFL]. To access the assigned menu function, press the Zoom/Lock button briefly.

Q: 9. Is the quality of the shot at the wide angle end (24 mm) very clear?

A: The Nikon COOLPIX P1000 Digital Camera has an amazing (35mm equivalent) 24-3000mm zoom lens--the longest available anywhere. The trade-off is that the lens can't be the sharpest ever. But, the 24mm end of the zoom has more clarity than the 3000mm end.

Q: 10. Is a UHS II Memory card necessary?

A: It is not, the X100V is UHS-1 compatible, so you can use UHS II cards, but they will top out at UHS I speeds.
