A few months ago, I purchased an X-H2S to use for sports, action, wildlife, and event photography. I also have an X100V that I primarily use for street photography and an X-T3 that I use for a bit of everything, including street photography when I want to use Fujifilm F1.4 lenses.

I have become very comfortable with the controls of the X-H2S and tend to use the camera more than my X-T3. The X-H2S works great for almost everything I do, except for street photography; I find the fully articulating screen, when extended, is difficult to work except when the camera is held vertically. Here are some of the issues I have when the screen is extended to the left side of the camera:

  1. Accessing the screen touch functions is difficult and slow because I am right handed and have an injury to my left hand.
  2. I have problems getting the scene framed properly when I am looking to the left of the lens.
  3. I am concerned that the screen is more likely to break than if it were located behind the camera.

If anyone has advice on how to overcome, or at least mitigate, any of the items I listed I would appreciate the guidance.

Thank you in advance.

The only way to overcome your articulation screen issues is to keep using it until it feels comfortable.
