Hi,

I've recently acquired an X-T2 - and while I like it a lot, there's something that bugs me .

When I focus/expose by pressing the shutter button halfway, the diafragm closes to whatever I set it (eg. f16) - this is expected, but when I then release the shutter again the diafragm slowly, step by step, re-opens rather than opening again in one go. It does this with all lenses...I also compared this behaviour with my X-E2, and the older camera re-opens in one go.

The problem with this behaviour is that it maybe takes 5s to go from f/16 bacl to "open", and all this time you hear the noise of the diafragm opening and the EVF flickers while the live view adjust to the changing diafragm.

Anyone else notice this? Is this expected behaviour ?

Any advice welcome..

When getting my X-T3 at the end of last year I recognized a similar behavior and also asked if this is normal, see here the thread I started:

The one answer I received that this is normal for Fuji, so I left it at that.
