For Best Results

For best results, use a lens with a focal length of 35 mm or less (50 mm or less in 35 mm format). Prop your elbows against your sides and move the camera slowly in a small circle at a steady speed, keeping the camera parallel or at right angles to the horizon and being careful only to pan in the direction shown by the guides. Use a tripod for best results. If the desired results are not achieved, try panning at a different speed.

Shooting Mode

① Panoramas are created from multiple frames; exposure for the entire panorama is determined by the first frame. The camera may in some cases record an greater or lesser angle than selected or be unable to stitch the frames together perfectly. The last part of the panorama may not be recorded if shooting ends before the panorama is complete.
① Shooting may be interrupted if the camera is panned too quickly or too slowly. Panning the camera in a direction other than that shown cancels shooting.
① The desired results may not be achieved with moving subjects, subjects close to the camera, unvarying subjects such as the sky or a field of grass, subjects that are in constant motion, such as waves and waterfalls, or subjects that undergo marked changes in brightness. Panoramas may be blurred if the subject is poorly lit.

Sensitivity

"Sensitivity" refers to the camera's sensitivity to light. Choose from values between 200 and 6400, or select L(100), H(12800), or H(25600) for special situations. Higher values can be used to reduce blur when lighting is poor, while lower values allow slower shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright light; note, however, that mottling may appear in pictures taken at high sensitivities, particularly at H(25600), while choosing L(100) reduces dynamic range. Values of from ISO 200 to ISO 6400 are recommended in most situations. If AUTO1, AUTO2, or AUTO3 is selected, the camera will adjust sensitivity automatically in response to shooting conditions.

1 Press MENU/OK in shooting mode to display the shooting menu. Press the selector up or down to highlight ISO ISO and press MENU/OK.
2 Press the selector up or down to highlight the desired option and press MENU/OK to select.

- Sensitivity is not reset when the camera is turned off.

L(100) is reset to ISO 200 and H(12800) and H(25600) are reset to ISO 6400 when RAW, FINE+RAW, or NORMAL+RAW is selected for image quality (☐ 86). For more information on the settings available with L(100), H(12800), and H(25600), see page 140.

AUTO

The following options are available when AUTO1, AUTO2, or AUTO3 is selected:

OptionDefault
DEFAULT SENSITIVITY200
MAX. SENSITIVITY800 (AUTO1)1600 (AUTO2)3200 (AUTO3)
MIN. SHUTTER SPEED1/60

The camera automatically chooses a sensitivity between the default and maximum values. Sensitivity is only raised above the default value if the shutter speed required for optimal exposure would be slower than the value selected for MIN. SHUTTER SPEED.

If the value selected for DEFAULT SENSITIVITY is higher than that selected for MAX. SENSITIVITY, DEFAULT SENSITIVITY will be set to the value selected for MAX. SENSITIVITY.
The camera may select shutter speeds slower than MIN. SHUTTER SPEED if pictures would still be underexposed at the value selected for MAX. SENSITIVITY.

- Spotlit subjects (particularly if photographed against dark backgrounds): -2/3 EV

- Subjects with low reflectivity (pine trees or dark-colored foliage): -213 EV

Metering

Choose how the camera meters exposure.

1 Press MENU/OK in shooting mode to display the shooting menu. Press the selector up or down to highlight 📄 PHOTOMETRY and press MENU/OK.
2 Press the selector up or down to highlight the desired option and press MENU/OK to select.

ModeDescription
(MULTI)The camera instantly determines exposure based on an analysis of composition, color, and brightness distribution. Recommended in most situations.
(SPOT)The camera meters lighting conditions in an area at the center of the frame equivalent to 2% of the total. Recommended with backlit subjects and in other cases in which the background is much brighter or darker than the main subject.
(AVERAGE)Exposure is set to the average for the entire frame. Provides consistent exposure across multiple shots with the same lighting, and is particularly effective for landscapes and portraits of subjects dressed in black or white.

① The selected option will only take effect when FACE OFF/EYE OFF is selected for AF/AF/MF SETTING >FACE/EYE DETECTION SETTING (85).

Using the Flash

Use the built-in flash for additional lighting when shooting at night or indoors under low light.

S⚡ (SLOW SYNCHRO)/ [IMAGE] (RED EYE & SLOW)*Capture both the main subject and the background under low light (note that brightly lit scenes may be overexposed).
⚡ REARR (2ND CURTAIN SYNC.)/ [IMAGE] (2ND CURTAIN SYNC.)*The fl ash fi res immediately before the shutter closes.
fire C (COMMANDER)The built-in fl ash can be used to control optional remote fl ash units.
fire (SUPPRESSED FLASH)The fl ash does not fi re even when the subject is poorly lit. A tripod is recommended.

* Red-eye removal is available in these modes when Intelligent Face Detection is active (☐ 85) and red-eye removal is on (☐ 89). Red-eye removal minimizes "red-eye" caused when light from the flash is reflected from the subject's retinas as shown in the illustration at right.

FUJIFILM X-A20 - Using the Flash - 2

① Depending on the distance to the subject, some lenses may cast shadows in photos taken with the flash.
Lowering the flash turns the flash off (③) and prevents it firing even when the subject is poorly lit; use of a tripod is recommended. Lower the flash where flash photography is prohibited or to capture natural lighting under dim light. We also recommend that you lower the flash when the camera is off.
If 📋 is displayed when the shutter button is pressed halfway, the flash will fire when the photo is taken.
Except in commander mode, the flash may fire several times with each shot. Do not move the camera until shooting is complete.

Caring for the Camera

To ensure continued enjoyment of the product, observe the following precautions.

Storage and Use

If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery and memory card. Do not store or use the camera in locations that are:

• exposed to rain, steam, or smoke
• very humid or extremely dusty
- exposed to direct sunlight or very high temperatures, such as in a closed vehicle on a sunny day
• extremely cold
- subject to strong vibration
- exposed to strong magnetic fields, such as near a broadcasting antenna, power line, radar emitter, motor, transformer, or magnet
- in contact with volatile chemicals such as pesticides
- next to rubber or vinyl products

Water and Sand

Exposure to water and sand can also damage the camera and its internal circuitry and mechanisms. When using the camera at the beach or seaside, avoid exposing the camera to water or sand. Do not place the camera on a wet surface.

Condensation

Sudden increases in temperature, such as occur when entering a heated building on a cold day, can cause condensation inside the camera. If this occurs, turn the camera off and wait an hour before turning it on again. If condensation forms on the memory card, remove the card and wait for the condensation to dissipate.

Traveling

Keep the camera in your carry-on baggage. Checked baggage may suffer violent shocks that could damage the camera.

Cleaning the Image Sensor

Multiple photographs marred by spots or blotches in identical locations may indicate the presence of dust on the camera image sensor. Clean the sensor using the 📄 SENSOR CLEANING option in the setup menu (📖 101); if the problem persists, you can clean the sensor manually as described below. Note that there will be a charge to repair or replace the image sensor if it is damaged during cleaning.

1 Use a blower (not a brush) to remove dust from the sensor.

Notices

  • Specifications subject to change without notice; for the latest information, visit http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/index.html. FUJIFILM shall not be held liable for damages resulting from errors in this manual.
  • Although the LCD monitor is manufactured using advanced high-precision technology, small bright points and anomalous colors may appear, particularly in the vicinity of text. This is normal for this type of LCD display and does not indicate a malfunction; images recorded with the camera are unaffected.
  • Digital cameras may malfunction when exposed to strong radio interference (e.g., electric fields, static electricity, or line noise).
  • Due to the type of lens used, some distortion may occur at the periphery of images. This is normal.
