Re: Distance scale on XE2 disappears with with 14mm/f2.8

It doesn't seem to work. When I uncheck the AF Distance Indicato the AF Distance Indicator disappears regardless of where the lens's clutch is. When I uncheck the MF Distance Indicator, it disappears accordingly.

What I want to do is to get the MF distance indicator on the LCD screen when the 14mm/f2.8 is in manual focus mode and/or the XE2 is in either AF or MF mode.

When you have the clutch forward, you have the lens and the X-E2 in AF, not MF. You can verify that because the focus ring on the lens will be locked. The distance scale you are seeing then is the AF distance scale. The X-E2, like the other X-series cameras has both an AF and a MF distance scale.

Go into SETUP MENU 1 -> SCREEN SET-UP -> DISP CUSTOM SETTING (bottom of second screen) and verify that both AF DISTANCE INDICATOR and MF DISTANCE INDICATOR are checked. Uncheck AF DISTANCE INDICATOR and the only time you will see an electronic distance scale in the EVF or LCD is when you use an AF lens without the AF/MF clutch and set the X-E2 into MF with the front switch.
