Nora's a cutie!
Which adapter are you using? I was going to rent the Fuji one to test it out but if I'm going to pay ~$30-$40 for it, I figured I might as well just go buy one. I've got the same Nokton I wanted to try out (among others), looks like it performs nicely!

I got the K&F . . . . $23 and yes, it does seem to do well. I've been testing with the Nokton 35/1.2 v.2 and the Voigt 15/4.5 v.III with similar results.
Miss Fuji, Bob, great seeing you liking the S10. I was contemplating coming back, selling the A7iii and possibly picking up an A7riii and E4 for walk around although like the 100v too.

I started my comeback thinking of the E-4. Then, the thought of the X-S10 with IBIS and a good grip swayed me.
You may be able to answer question to me as you owe X-S10, please.
I read manual, understanding that front and rear dials switche functionality by the chosen mode, aperture/shutter speed/or exposure compensation.
My question is, what happens if you choose Manual mode with Auto ISO?
Now you need three different controls, but you have two dials.
What do you use for exposure compensation, if front is aperture, and rear is shutter speed, in this kind of set up?

While there is no ISO dial on the X-S10, there is an ISO button. Once pressed, you can change ISO using the joy stick. This is not an issue for me since I do much of my shooting in auto ISO mode and often don’t have a need to change. In fact, I remapped the ISO button to serve as a zoom button when shooting in MF and mapped the ISO button to the Fn button next to the EVF. YMMV. This works for me very nicely

I know that, my question was, how you compensate exposure, if you set ISO to Auto, and Aperture and Shutter Speed to Manual. I use this a lot.
I guess you need to map the wheel on left side to do exposure compensation, if Aperture and Shutter speed are in Manual, front and rear buttons control them.
That's a small hole in the Fuji concept for this camera, if I'm right, but probably not a big deal for most of the users.

OK, you're right. This is an issue when in Manual mode. However, if the LCD/EVF is set to show the image with exposure, then while in manual mode, just set the exposure and use aperture and shutter speed to achieve the desired 'compensation'. I went online to look at the manual. I guess fuji decided that exposure comp wasn't needed in manual mode, which I guess makes sense. See the last sentence in the image below.

I disagree, it doesn't make sense, sorry. That's not pure manual mode if you leave ISO to float, it's Manual only for Aperture and Shutter Speed.
There are situations when you want to override camera metering, that's what Exposure Compensation is designed for in first place.
It is Fuji's misconception on this camera design, using rear dial for essential, but two different functionalities,
running into situation the concept can't support one of those two without assigning different dial for Exposure Compensation.
Preview is just to do rough judgment, Histogram is actually way to go, but both methods fall apart when you use camera for fast action.
There is no time to look those and make quick adjustments. Sometimes you just do it by the experience, in relation what you shot.
If you shot white bird against dark background, you know the bird is gonna be overexposed, or opposite, just an example.
Anyway, thanks a lot for you effort to help on this, as an owner of this camera!

Maybe it is just how I use cameras, but I can't think of a situation in which I would need both and ISO dial and Exposure comp dial. If I am manually setting ISO, I'm also manually setting shutter speed and aperture, manually setting the full exposure. I only need an exposure comp dial when some setting is on auto, such as ISO, and I want to override the camera's metering. If I need the wheel to be exposure comp, I would not need it to be adjusting ISO.

I don't know how you understood my write up, that I'm talking about adjusting ISO, sorry.
I'm actually talking about the same thing you just described, Aperture in Manual, Shutter Speed in Manual, ISO in Auto (floating by camera metering),
then I override metering by Exposure Compensation, in certain circumstances.
This is been my point since I started this discussion. The reason, I was considering X-S10,
but I wanted to know how this is done, it's not clear in Manual. I use this a lot, and it's important to me.
