3/1/2024 0 Comments Fuji camera remote for macI enjoy selecting the controls manually though. If I use it set up like that, all I need to do is compose. One of the features of the Fuji is an inability to take a technically bad photo. I bought an X100 first, then the X100s, and finally the X100f. Agreed about the quality of the Fuji in every way, I still have my D750, along with a newer (older, actually) Df, along with two Leica M cameras. I do have some information about that here. I downsized from a Nikon D750 in late 2019 and never looked back. The various film simulations are amazing. They are also better than anything else I’ve found for shooting in JPEG mode. I absolutely agree: Fujifilm cameras are fun to use. I have an aging (but still very much loved) X100s my main camera these days is an X-T30. Too early, or too late, wasn’t what I wanted. I used to do that in India, spending hours setting up a scene, and at dusk, having two or three minutes in which to capture what I wanted. I love to see all the small details, and I picture Joanna with her camera set up on a tripod “visualizing” what she sees onto the film. Joanna’s photos are often static images frozen in time, and that IS the image. I enjoy scenes like that, but when possible, I want some “life” in the photo, maybe a bird, whatever. I’m only aware of one photo of yours, and it was lovely. Without planning, results become just luck, or the lack of. The big thing of course, is to plan properly for the photo I hope to capture. …and the instant the camera goes CLICK my attitude changes, looking for something else that might be worthwhile. ![]() The only way I’ve found to capture things like this to my satisfaction is to have everything else “done”, and wait for something important (animal, radio controller, boat, motorcycle, whatever) to hopefully fit into the composition I was planning on - and when things get all screwy, to do the best I can. If it was a still life, and static, things wold be different. Pretty difficult to not be aware of the sky, or the water, or the boats, but no need to pay attention to them. Multi-tasking is probably good, but that’s not how I do things. Camera was fixed, composition was fixed, everything was steady, and the jet ski eventually moved into the viewfinder and reached the spot where I wanted the photo to show it. Maybe I should select a better word than “oblivious”, but that fit. To make it more clear for you, everything else about that image was all set up and done ahead of time, and all my concentration was on the jet ski. Maybe that’s how you do things, but it’s not what I said or meant. Photo composition by you includes not being aware of what is in the viewfinder: If the goal is to convert a RAF file to a JPG, Fujifilm does a better job than anyone because they are the only one who truly understand their (proprietary) film simulations. Fujifilm X Raw Studio is merely a more convenient interface to it. Of course, you can always use the convert-to-JPG feature of the camera itself. A list of compatible Fujifilm cameras and computer-OS versions may be found here. ![]() The software is not compatible with all X cameras. I couldn’t get it to work with the RAF files I have. Again, it’s not more of a hassle than any other raw format. RAFs can be used in just about any other photo editing software (Lightroom, Photoshop, ON1 Raw, Luminar, Affinity Photo, Pixelmator, GraphicConverter, etc.) Silkypix (mentioned by others) and Capture One have versions that are free and do raw conversions from RAF to several other formats. ![]() I don’t find that to be so, except of course that PhotoLab doesn’t convert them. Basically RAF files are one huge PITA to do anything with - even converting them is not simple or, as far as I can tell, free.
