Make sense of bracketed Images.

I love my XT-2 so can't figure out how they can improve enough for me to spring on the XT-3 that is rumored.  Then I got to thinking of the one thing that drives me crazy and how to fix it. 

 

I don't know how many times I've bracketed photos and then during post-process could not identify which images were included in the group.  I tend to take a single shot before or after the bracketed series so then I have a problem identifying which images are part of the bracketed group.

I propose that when bracketing, number the images of the group with an identifier. That is rather than a series of images numbered sequentially, name the group as one image, then number each image. Something like DSCF3657-1.raf, DSCF3657-2.raf, DSCF3657-3.raf, DSCF3657-4.raf, DSCF3657-5.raf, etc. This would identify the bracketed group as DSCF3657.raf with each member of that group identified in sequence.

No more need to take an image of a finger before starting the bracket, then another after the bracket (Which I always forget to do). I don't believe any other manufacturer does this, so Fuji can be the leader.

Nobody else does that because it's not allowed by the DCF specification for camera file naming.

 

I'd think you'd be able to tell by the files' time stamps. They all should be the same, or at least within one second of each other.

 

Hmm, didn't know that!  Too bad.  Likely I just need to remember that finger shot before & after the bracket.  I've also learned info on bracketing and continuous images are saved in the Metadata, but only a very few metadata readers show it.  Being able to read that while post-processing would help.

This doesn't fix what you want but what I do is take a picture of the inside of my hat or hand or something else that is completely different just before and after a bracket or anytime else I want a set of photos to standout. I often do this when change locations where the scenery may still be similar (i.e. different points along the California coast).

      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?
