First of all I really love my little X100. Yet, it is the most irritating but most irresistable camera that I have ever used. Come to think of it very much like my wife!
I can turn the flash on and make any compensation required and the X100 does a great job with fill-in flash. Next image I don't need the flash so switch it off then find in the process that I have somehow managed to produce multiple shots which on play back examination are clearly bracketed shots at 0, -1/3 and plus 1/3 exposures! I only discovered that because it was taking much longer than usual to write to card!
I get out of that OK and then find that the flash doesn't switch on and the usual "flash" sub-menu is nowhere to be found! After trolling through menu's I give up and decide to reset the camera from the menu item.
Bingo, everything is back where it should be! I can usually switch off and in extreme cases remove and replace the battery and everything is restored OK but this time I needed to do a reset. Amazingly none of my data such as time date and settings were changed during the reset!
Has any of this ever put me off this charming, annoying little camera....nah!
I still reach for my X100 before any of my simple to use (by comparison) full frame DSLR's! so I started to wonder just why? I have concluded that in every single incident with the X100, it is something that I have done that has caused it to irritate me, it is probably exactly the same with my lovely wife in fact!
