X100F - Digital Teleconverter + Fine/Raw: wishlist


Recommended Posts

Currently the digital teleconverter is only available in jpeg only modes.

 

According to the documentation of the Leica Q, the 'trim' feature (that's how they call it) of 35 mm and 50 mm is available in all image modes.  The DNG (raw) however contains always the full 28 mm view + data indicating the trim value.

 

It would be nice if Fuji would adopt a similar approach (to be included in a future firmware upgrade) and allow the teleconverter to be used in jpeg+Raf modes.

The 'Q' doesn't really do anything more than put a crop line on the file - if you are using Lightroom it will crop the image when you click the edit icon. It is not really doing any in camera cropping but putting, if you like, a 'trim' line on the file. The Sony RX1RMKII has two choice but both require using JPG files...Fuji uses an "in camera" crop as opposed to a crop in post processing.

 

In the case of Sony - The smart teleconverter (from Sony's detailed specs): When Sony uses the term Smart, they mean an optical crop of the sensor, with no in-camera upscale, so the image is less MP than full 35mm. Given the size and MP of the sensor the quality is excellent.

When Sony says Clear Image, that means in-camera crop, and in-camera upscale back to full sensor MP.

 

I have used the Leica Q extensively and it is a post processing crop as opposed to an in camera crop...which allows Leica to use DNG files. It is also dependent on using Lightroom which is provided with the camera.

 

Something I would like is, to be able use the X100F TC in (slow burst) drive mode as opposed to single shot mode...there is likely a reason that is not possible.

 

I hope that makes sense.

    • Hello. Thankyou,now Is all more clear: I have take some time in your link. Let tell you. I has totaly forget this machine have "compress picture option" and not Only "compress lossless" anyway not change the experiment. RAW  and this last two format look like same result about Number of recording picture. Can tell all results in this: in raw you can make 17 pictures for second. Is wrong. Is about One single Press and wait buffer. Full 30/20/10/8 not change. After 17 Need Press again. You not can Press before "redgreen light recording Is on".   With preshot you can have 25  are more 7 pictures . The story change Only in jpg shot only. In jpg at 30 you have 30 picture but redgreen light off very Fast so you can shot very quicly. At 20 shot Is about start look like infinite shot. 60. So the best performance are this last One  about Speed and recording picture after camera working witout big limit. I want take a shot about Italy cyclet Just for passion. I think i Will use this last setting.  After Need check when battery not are full change and ambient temp.  Anyway my cam look like exactly specific about you link. Im Happy my cam working perfectly.
    • I do not use Flickr, so I do not know what their BB code is. All I did was copy the second link you provided, (starting at https: and ending at  _k.jpg — leave off the [img] and [/img] tags) and pasted it into the message. After a moment, a message popped up asking if I wanted to paste it as the image or as a plain link. I did this twice, the first time I had it paste in as the image and the second time as a link. Nothing fancy or tricky.
    • So do I just copy the BB code from flickr and paste it anywhere on the page like other forums or is there some other trick I need to perform to get it to post?
    • All software is the latest between camera and app. All settings are correct on camera. I have both lossless and uncompressed RAW files on the card in the camera. I have been up and down every reddit thread to no avail and am losing my mind… I’m doing all of the right things. It even sees my camera. It just doesn’t create the “drive” for it (see attached image screenshot).  Please Help!

    • Not sure how to delete threads, but I figured out what was wrong. In short, I was partially misunderstanding the view-mode's function. Also, the "+LCD Image Display" part requires that you have the Image Disp. setting set to anything but Off. Then it will display your last image on the LCD. If it's off, it's behavior will be exactly like the plain Eye Sensor setting.
