<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\nLet\u2019s look at, for instance, my photojournalist work I did for newspapers, such as the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) and magazines, such as the \u201cstern.\u201d Time and again, as photojournalists we happen upon everyday events; however, we aim to capture \u201creal life\u201d \u2013 with as little posing and modification as possible \u2013 with our cameras. In such situations it is immensely important to have equipment that works inaudibly and that does not create a vaster distance than necessary from the protagonists because of its size. That\u2019s another reason I like to take photographs with fixed focal lengths: The lenses are smaller and not as heavy as zoom lenses and enable me to create better photographs thanks to the open aperture, which also allows me to bring order into some very chaotic imagery.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\nI also place my trust in the camera\u2019s technology: All I set manually is the aperture \u2013 the camera determines the ISO setting and the shutter speed. I have preset three choices and alternate between them. This allows me to focus entirely on the optical image structure and on the protagonists when I shoot portraits. All I control is the aperture.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\nMoreover, the electronic viewfinder shows the photo exactly the same way it will later appear on the display. Consequently, potential cases of incorrect exposures are now virtually history. Thanks to the viewfinder\u2019s high speed, I rarely need the assistance of the optical viewfinder anymore. I use the option of having an optical viewfinder at my disposal only if I am taking pictures with a flash or if I\u2019m shooting subjects that are just beginning to move into my photograph. The optical viewfinder allows me to see them before they actually enter my actual section.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\nThe X-Pro2 is also my favorite companion when I take pictures at weddings. The two SD card slots turned out to be a true blessing at these events! Having the ability to make that I have the photos even if a memory card should falter is a priceless benefit. The X-Pro2 also enables me to transfer photos directly to my iPhone and send them out to people right away using the Fujifilm app. Speed is not only of critical importance in the field of journalism. Being able to give the newlyweds pictures right away is definitely a gift.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
