With the 80mm at aperture 1.9, the face detection focuses precisely on the pupil and the veins in the eyeball.

Go to 'File' then 'Export' and choose 'Export As'. In the dialog box, select 'JPEG' as the format. You'll see several options to tweak.

Thank you. I will give this a try "export and save a copy"

This is just how photoshop is doing this. Not a X2D filebug.

Doing my usual routine. (did not create jpg in camera).  Edit raw in Photoshop (from lightroom classic). Change to 8 bit.   Then downsize
Save as.   But only jpeg 2000. Comes up no option in photoshop to save to jpg

I am sure I am missing something.  But help would be appreciated

I was recently taking some pics at my daughter's wedding and was using my 28p and 55v on my X2D. I noticed that face detect was often difficult with the 28p unless I was very close to my subjects. With the new 25/2.5v, would there be any improvement in face detect due to the improved quality of the 25, and because it is 2.5 vs 4.0? I would imagine one would have to be closer with the 25v to try to match up with the 28p, but I was just wondering if this feature would improve with a higher quality/ faster lens. Thanks for any comments.

I would find it actually very useful for night photography because X series cameras render the scene completely black in the preview below a certain level of ambient light at night.

Could anybody confirm this feature is really absent on the X1D II?

I can confirm that "drive to infitiy" works on my X2D with all the new lenses (XCD 25V, XCD 28P, XCD 38V, XCD 55V, and XCD 90V). It also works with XCD 21 (make sure that firmware 0.6.1 is installed). I don't have any other XCD lenses. It does not work with my HC 3,2/150 N (firmware 19.1.0) and it also doesn't work with my HC 4,5/300 (firmware 17.0.0).

I actually use this function quite a lot, mainly for night photography. It's always good when you don't have to focus manually to infinity, the results are always excellent.

Good morning all,

I have just purchased the XD2 and noticed, when I look at the back screen or through the EVF with the lens cap on, that there are 2 blue pixels on the sensor. I calibrated once this morning but they remain.

Any thoughts/advice?

Many thanks.

Kind regards,

Paul

My X2D works fine when tethered to my computer using the supplied Hasselblad cable or a Tether Tools USBc to USBc cable. The camera needs to be on when I connect to the computer. A message pops up very quickly on the X2D asking to choose 'Mass storage' or 'Skip'. I press skip to continue. In Phocus under the Capture tab, Job Info section, there is a choice for destination. Maybe it was not chosen to go to the correct place? Not sure after that...
