good idea - might I suggest that we actually use the Title of the messages for this thread - I know it's not the convention here but it'll certainly make it easier to find things!I'm starting this thread so folks can ask & answer camera operational and setting questions, or, share their tips about something new they discovered.
My first question: How do you turn off image review?
Makes senseWell, maybe it's just me that's dumb, the fact that the battery is rounded off on one corner suggested to me that it would only go in one way. This is not the case.
So, having charged it and put it back in I was understandably horrified that the camera didn't work.
So - if you've charged your battery and put it back, and the camera doesn't work - then you should turn it round!
you realise I'm not speaking upside down (with the terminals at the wrong end). it goes in both ways with the terminals inward . . . somebody needs a slap!Makes sense
The curve of the battery matches the curve of the battery compartment when everything's right.
So simple.
Of course (to both of you) - but why does it fit the other way around? with most cameras you just bung it in . . . and if it's right it fits, and if it ain't it don't!Jono
There's a big arrow on one side, so that should help orient it, so remember which way the arrow goes ...

Hi JoeI hesitate giving this tip because everyone here at GetDPI is so talented.
It of course can apply to all your cameras, but particularly the x100 because of its many options and somewhat convoluted menu.
Determine your most common and/or comfortable camera settings and call it your starting point.
For example, my starting point settings are:
f/8, iso 200, aperture priority, manual focus (af/ae button to focus), compensation 0, flash -1/3. raw plus fine, velvia … (auto iso off but set at 1/3200 and 1/125). The more you learn about this camera the more settings you have to consider.
After a day of shooting and before you put your camera away (or before you take your camera out for the day), make sure you put your settings back to your starting point. This way the next time you start up your camera, you know your starting point and can easily adjust as needed.
Certainly is.. Nothing else works as designed!Yep, it works exactly as designed! Funny that.
