A Fuji complaint…

I really love my Fujifilm X-E1, but I have a beef with it.

Frequently I’ll use it as a backup body when I’m shooting my X-T2, hanging on a strap with a fast prime while I shoot the XF 16-80mm f/4 WR zoom on the main body.

The position of the exposure compensation dial on the X-E1’s top place, such that it’s flush with the rear edge, combined with the lack of a locking button on said dial, means that I’m often a couple shots into a scene before noticing that its been jostled a couple stops in either direction. This is especially bad when I find out I’ve underexposed the bejeezus out of an indoors shot or three.
