My video with how you can achieve that:
SPORTS FINDER MODE Benefits And When To Use
- Fujifilm says: “Take pictures using the crop in the center of the display. Choose this option for pictures of athletes, birds, and other moving subjects.”
- you can see outside your frame with the EVF or LCD screen getting the range finder experience on every Fujifilm camera
- you can use this mode when you don’t want to swap lenses and you need a little tighter frame
- good for street photography, documentary photography, portrait photography and situation were the space conditions are changing
How To Activate SPORTS FINDER MODE
- Only works With Mechanical Shutter
- Assign a custom button by pressing display
- Shooting Settings > Sports Finder Off/On
Notes

- it applies a 1.25x crop so this means that you’ll get a tighter angle of view (a 23mm Fuji APS-C lens becomes a 28mm APS-C lens giving the field of view of 44mm )
- Very usefull in street photography and in situation were you don’t want to swap lenses
- a 23 f1.4 lens becomes a 44mm lens – making an unique and very versatile setup

I am a volunteer for Greenhouze a 501c3 non profit organization. One of my functions will be to teach a photography course. I was contracted to teach this course because I’ve had experience developing and providing instructors for photography learning centers, both military and civilian. I am retired now but I thought it would be fun opportunity to volunteer for this position. I have watched a few of your videos. I think the service you are providing is beneficial for the community. Late last year I was developing a course for a school that believed art education was under appreciated in this country. Photography was featured in a few of the courses. The school, unfortunately, never got started but I continued to develop non traditional instruction, introducing creative thinking projects early in the course. Anyway keep up the good work I think you are providing a meaningful service.
Thank you!
