JJC Soft Release Shutter Button for Fuji Fujifilm X-T30 X-T20 X-T10 X-T3 X-T2 X-PRO1 X-PRO2 X100 X100S X100T X100F (Black)

X-T50に装着、シャッターボタンが押しやすくなり満足してます。 X-T50はシャッターボタンの回りが電源レバーになっており、レリーズボタンを付けると電源レバーが操作しづらくなりますが、こちらのソフトレリーズボタンは側面に溝が切られているので、このボタンを回して電源オンオフも出来て便利です。

I tried a couple of other buttons for my old X-E3 (black on black) and I liked this one the best (black metal/ black rubberized pad). The knurling makes it easy to find when you are looking through the eyepiece and your finger does not slide. I also like that with the knurling you can use it to turn the camera on/ off. The padded, rubberized grip is nice. I also found the button quieter than some of the other buttons (not sure why). I prefer the concave button to the convex; easier to find when looking through the eyepiece and a nice feel for me. Due to the size of the button it sits a little high (not flush with the top of the camera). This is not a criticism as the size of the button makes it more useful. I just try to be careful when putting it in a case to not stress the button. Overall a well machined, quality product. Recommend.

The product is well-made and fit nicely on my EDC.

What is a "soft release" button? If you've never used one before, you might be ready for an eye-opener. You see, many cameras employ a shutter release button that works just fine, but is relatively small. This makes you have to push in a somewhat specific manner to engage the shutter and take the shot. What a soft release button like does is screw into the shutter release button (check your camera, and you might be surprised to see there is a screw hole in there you never noticed before, typically used for a cable-release mechanism) and thereby provide you with a much larger, and rounded, shutter release. This servers two functions. First, it makes the shutter much more comfortable to press because of the weight of your finger is now spread over a larger surface area. It instantaneously changes the shooting experience of most cameras. In fact, so much so that you scratch your head and wonder why these are not just normal accessories supplied with every camera! It makes pressing the button so much easier and more comfortable that once you start using one, you'll probably never want to go without one again! Its amazing how such a small addition to a camera can make such a difference in the "feel" of the shooting experience. But the second reason is that the soft-release button can actually help you take sharper photos. How, you might ask? Well, normally you press down on a shutter button, and that press slightly shakes the camera. The soft release button, however, because it is larger and rounder, allows you to engage the shutter with more of a ROLLING manner, where you roll your finger over the button rather than just push straight down. It takes a little bit of practice and you have to learn a new habit of shooting, but once you do, it can really be used to good advantage. This particular model is of good quality and looks nice, as well. Moreover, they provide two small rubber grommets so that you can put it under the screw (just one of them) so that it helps keep the button in place and not unscrew itself from use and fall off. (The fact that they provide two is really great.) And the price is really reasonable for what you get. I can highly recommend it.

Got mine Jan 2019 and just lost it on my most recent europe trip! Thats almost 6 years! Throughout the years it became looser and looser and I had to constantly tighten. Had a few times where I thought I'd lost it if I stored my camera in a pocket or bag not the camera case I would use for long term storage. So like anywhere else that had would brush up against the grip to loosen it while on the go. It became a little ritual thing, before every shot, I'd run my thumb on the release side grip (which was very tactile and responsive) then position my hand on my hotshoe thumbgrip then pointer finger half press if I was on autofocus and click~ After shooting I'd reverse and end with running my thumb on the shutter release again to tighten via side grip and turn off the camera. I have it on a fuji x100V (previously on a a fuji x100F) so it's been on 2 cameras! It was great! May repurchase, I'm going to keep looking around amazon, but wanted to review because it was absolutely a great purchase!
