![]() During our testing, we had to keep putting it down every 20 minutes or so to rest our aching fingers. That said, it’s still heavier than a full-frame camera and can get very tiring with prolonged handheld use. It measures 150x104x44mm, which is similar to a full-frame DSLR like the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV (measuring 150.7x116.4x75.9mm) and a little larger than the Canon EOS R5 (which stacks up at 135.8x97.5x88mm).Īt 900g, the body’s 500g lighter than the GFX 100 and that makes it easier to use outside of a studio – the usual haunt of a modern medium format camera. It has resulted in a body that’s shorter and slimmer than the other GFX models, one that can easily be mistaken for a full-frame camera. The new shutter unit and IBIS mechanism in the GFX 100S means Fujifilm has been able to relocate the battery to the single handgrip on the body, allowing it to lose the vertical grip under the body. Called “Nostalgic Neg”, it adds a slight amber tint to highlights and saturates some colours for a more retro look. The GFX 100S gets an additional Film Simulation mode, taking the count to 19. Where the GFX100S improves on the older camera is movie clip lengths – there’s now a maximum recording time of 120 minutes instead of 60 minutes.Īlthough the GFX 100S inherits the same max shutter speed, shutter mechanism durability and sync speed as the GFX 100, Fujifilm claims the new mechanism reduces lag to 0.07 seconds from 0.09 seconds. ![]() 16-bit RAW video recording is also available via HDMI to the latest Atomos Ninja V recorder. 4K/30p 10-bit 4:2:0 internal recording (with a bit rate of up to 400 Mbps) using the full width of the sensor is possible, along with the option of F-Log and HLG 10-bit 4:2:2 or 12-bit ProRes RAW to an external recorder – the same spec as its older sibling. ![]() While the GFX100S can capture 100MP images at bursts of up to 5fps with continuous autofocus, it’s also a capable movie camera. This lets the monitor move up to 90º upward, 45º downward and 60º to the side. That said, the rear LCD monitor is still the same 3.2-inch tilting touchscreen on a triaxial mount. To keep costs down, the Fujifilm GFX 100S gets a fixed OLED EVF with a resolution of 3.69 million dots and a magnification of 0.77x (as compared to the detachable 5.76-million dot EVF of the GFX 100). However, its additional directional movements take some getting used to. We’re calling it a ‘nub’ as it’s not as tall as the joysticks on the previous GFX cameras, and its small size means you’re not accidentally pressing it (which can reset AF-point selection or camera settings). Instead of the usual 4-way joystick controller on the rear, there’s an 8-way textured nub that allows for diagonal movements alongside the usual horizontal and vertical directions. ![]() There’s the usual 1.8-inch status display on the top for showing shooting parameters, but that can be customized to display the virtual dials that were introduced in the GFX 100. (Image credit: Rod Lawton/Digital Camera World)įor potential users who are keen to upgrade from their old systems to the GFX 100S, the addition of a regular mode dial will be a welcome relief. Instead of using the larger NP-T125 packs of the earlier GFX bodies, Fujifilm has opted to use the NP-W235 pack that debuted with the X-T4, though this does offer a CIPA rating of a reasonable 460 shots per charge. Thanks to the sensor and image stabilization combo, the GFX 100S can capture 400MP high-res images by using a pixel-shift mode that was only added to the GFX 100 via a firmware update.ĭownsizing the body has also meant compromising on the battery, however. Moreover, the image stabilization system is able to work alongside stabilized lenses to maintain the level of correction for longer focal lengths as well. In the process of miniaturizing the IBIS mechanism, Fujifilm has also managed to make it more effective as well – it's rated at six stops of compensation for camera shake as compared to the 5.5 stops of correction on the GFX 100. ![]() Despite the downsizing, Fujifilm has managed to retain in-body image stabilization by reducing the size of the IBIS unit by 20% compared to the one in the GFX 100 (and making it 10% lighter too), as the company has done for the smaller X-series cameras like the X-T4 and X-S10. ![]()

![]() ![]() Because it is round, it is difficult to maintain orientation of your hand on the five buttons unless you keep feeling for the cord, which comes out at its top centre. One difference I did notice between the Xpress and the Pro V2 in use, the Xpress slides a bit too easily around the desk on its small hard plastic feet. I still have to look at the buttons and occasionally check my printout of the button assignments (nicely done by the software itself either as a ‘you label it’ PDF file or a slightly misaligned labelled HTML file) but it is all improving with continued use. However, while I don’t claim to move about it with the dexterity of a concert pianist, it did not take me long to have my left hand on the ShuttlePro playing a nice duet with my right on the mouse. Initially I thought it might be difficult to get used to all the buttons an all their possible options. Given that I had been using the ShuttleXpress for more than a year and not worked this out myself this revelation was not good for my ego. I really hate ‘D’oh!’ moments, but this was one. It is a bit embarrassing to say, but as I was coming to grips with the SP2, I happened to notice in my reading that most users operated the shuttle with one hand and their mouse with the other. Setup of the V2 is very much a personal matter and determined by the way you work and your own idiosyncratic preferences. Being always available in the background, easy access to the controller setup is via an icon placed in the System Tray. If you need assistance, there is an extensive Users Guide on the accompanying CD. The software is really easy to install and use, and intuitive once you have had a look around its options. By the way, the Contour Shuttle range is compatible with both Windows PC and Macintosh systems.Īll of these arrangements, as mentioned, can be altered to suit the individual user and the target application can be changed at will. When recognised software is activated, that program immediately gains the ShuttlePro’s attention. This range is extensive, for both Mac and PC, and can be seen at the Contour Design website. There are basically two ways to use apply this software – either use the presets, unmodified, or reassign the various buttons to suit yourself.Ĭontour has obligingly provided a large number of preset configurations which dictate the function of each button when working within a particular software application. While some devices might be able to do something with only generic software supplied by the OS, this little gem “takes ya nowhere ‘n tells ya nuttin” without the provided software. More or less completing this circular arrangement are two pairs of elongated silver buttons, again bowing around the ShuttlePro?s centre point but this time closer to the sides of its body, leaving a clear section of ‘deck’ in the middle. ![]() Further down, on either side of that control, are two elongated black buttons, also curving parallel to the jog/shuttle perimeter, but this time aligned with the long axis of the body. Near the top, two rows of four and five clear buttons respectively, are arrayed in a curved fashion not quite parallel to the top end of the body and arcing around the jog/shuttle control. The jog/shuttle is surrounded in an almost circular arrangement by 15 programmable buttons. Both these circular controls work in forward and reverse. (The ShuttleXpress has only one of these fingertip hollows and that is not as convenient.) Around this is the shuttle ring, for larger movements through the timeline. The middle alloy dial is the jog wheel and it has three indentations on its surface for easy manipulation and fine control by a fingertip. ![]() At 30 mm above the desk, and at the highest point on the back of the Shuttle, is the two-part jog/shuttle controller. The wider end faces away from the user and the USB cord extends out from its centre. The V2 is a low-profile, almost flat, desk-hugging accessory with a blunt egg-shaped, footprint that narrows (waist-like) towards the sharper end. If enough is great, then surely a whole lot more of the same must be exquisite? Features I love my ShuttleXpress, but when the idea arose that I might review its much more sophisticated relative, the ShuttlePro V2, I jumped at the chance. Among other things in the out-of-the-box configuration, they make it a breeze to move through the timeline either one frame at a time, or at various speeds in both forward and reverse directions. These units concentrate detailed editing control in one device by allocating button or dial controls to selectable keyboard shortcuts. Soon after sampling the delights of video editing, I found out about jog/shuttle devices via my five button/twin rotary Contour Design ShuttleXpress. Frank McLeod loves his ShuttleXpress, so we found him a bigger brother to play with, the ShuttlePro V2. ![]() ![]() Scarecrow is determined and vowed to get Dorothy to see the Wizard along with Tin Man.

After he sings If I Only had a Brain Dorothy felt impressed and she says if a scarecrow back in Kansas could do that the crows would be scared to pieces and Scarecrow curiously asked where Kansas Dorothy replied Kansas is where she lives. He admits to Dorothy that he can't scare a crow and thinks he is a failure. Scarecrow attempts to scare a crow while it pecks a bit of his straw. The Scarecrow is first seen hanging from the pole in the cornfield when Dorothy asked herself which way is the Emerald City he replies that way is very nice way while pointing one direction which surprised Dorothy and he points two directions which confuses Dorothy, who asked him it he's doing it on purpose or couldn't he make up his mind Scarecrow replied that he can't make up his mind because his head is full of straw instead of a brain.ĭorothy frees Scarecrow from the pole he falls over and Dorothy thinks he hurt himself.

But time and again other characters read her words and reveal that, in practice, she isn’t the champion of women that her internal narrative makes her out to be. “The singular life of a reporter” becomes her refrain. The Julia chapters always paint her as chasing justice, and she excuses occasional sensationalizing as necessary to keep the Dot King case on the front page, therefore making it more likely to get solved. Julia herself notes early on that people have a way of seeing themselves as a hero - a forecast of her own hubris. For those not already familiar with the history, it’s not until about a third of the way through “Broadway Butterfly” that it becomes clear why her narrative is woven into the broader story at all. Harding in Palm Beach ahead of his renomination. Then there’s Frances Stotesbury Mitchell, a high society woman with equally high connections getting ready to host the scandal-ridden President Warren G. Ella came from the South and, while she sees more opportunity and less overt racist violence and segregation in New York, is well aware of the dangers she and her family face simply by her connection with a murdered white woman. Coughlin is a hardened policeman whose preconceived ideas of others are solidified, and he’s constantly surprised at “girls these days” living and traveling alone, and at Broadway women’s apparent lack of moral values. Each takes on their own lexicon for a personal feel of character - Julia is obsessed with reporting and the hustle of being a pioneer newspaperwoman, and sees herself as a righteous champion of women. Coughlin, and Dot’s maid and confidant Ella Bradford. In “Broadway Butterfly,” a jazzy true crime historical thriller, author Sara DiVello unearths piles of evidence and presents them through witnesses, detectives and journalists in an attempt to find out what happened to the fast-living, generous and ambitious young woman whose life was suddenly and mysteriously snuffed out.Īll third person limited, the chapters go around between reporter Julia Harpman, inspector John D. ![]() But the hype around the case proved insufficient motivation to catch the killer. The unsolved murder of the beautiful Dot King captivated New York. ![]() “Broadway Butterfly” by Sara DiVello (Thomas & Mercer) ![]() ![]() For example, if the option on a stock is trading at $1, the cost of one contract (commissions excluded) would be $100 (100 x $1). One options contract is generally based on 100 shares of the underlying stock. Buyers have the right - but aren't obligated - to buy or sell the security at a predetermined price (strike price) by a certain date (expiry date). Sellers, also known as writers, are obligated to buy (with puts) or sell (with calls) the underlying security if the buyer decides to exercise the option, or if the option expires in-the-money. Typically, options contracts are very short, such as 30, 60 or 90 days, but can have expiration dates of up to a year.Īn options trade always has two sides: a buyer and a seller. In the case of stocks, which we'll focus on here, you might choose a call option if you think a stock will rise, or a put option if you think it will fall. Options investors generally have an opinion on the future price of an asset, believing it will rise or fall. An easy way to keep them straight is to remember that a call would "call" an asset away, while a put would "put" it to someone else. Owning a call gives you the right to buy the underlying asset owning a put gives you the right to sell that underlying asset. ![]() There are two main types of options contracts: calls and puts. Options are securities themselves, like a stock or bond, and because they derive their value from something else, they're called derivatives. Options are essentially contracts between two parties that give holders the right to buy or sell an underlying asset at a certain price within a specific amount of time.Īn option's value is tied to the underlying asset, which could be stocks, bonds, currency, interest rates, market indices, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) or futures contracts. ![]() ![]() ![]() If there’s one thing that Movavi excels at, it is making you feel like a professional video editor – even if you have limited experience!
