    Heatboy got a reaction from vivizen in XT2 problem correct exposure   
    @Pete1959: This has nothing to do with not using the exp. comp and being afraid of doing things manually. The issue is that compared to X-T10 / X-T1, X-T2 meters differently, and almost always underexposes, whatever the lighting situation. It doesn't matter if you use spot metering, it will still underexpose in general, and moreover, it's a lot more sensitive in it's metering than earlier Fuji cams. You shouldn't be having to resort to keeping the exp.comp.dial to +⅓ EV by default.
     
    For easy lighting conditions, I cannot for the life of me understand its metering choices. For tricky lighting situations, I always fix exposure/WB manually anyway.
     
    Checking against the histogram, X-T2 is always at least ⅓ EV underexposed compared to the histogram of a jpeg or raw image where levels and exposure are fixed.  Checked and rechecked output vs. EVF and / or LCD. Not an issue in matching exposure.

    Fixes needed for X-T2:
     
    Fuji needs to fix the Auto WB / color signature of the new sensor (X-Trans III) to match the WB of X-Trans II. The old sensor simply had superior skintones and worked much better for SOOC shooters in general. The color signature of the new sensor renders jpegs without the perfect skintones, crispness and beautiful tonality of X-Trans II.  Fix the erratic nature of the new exposure system. Too many times it underexposes by 1/3 to 2/3 stops, compared to the previous gen. cams.

    Heatboy reacted to Filmdude in Is it just me or the lowish light files are too noisy?   
    Part of the SOOC Fuji magic seems to have been lost with the new sensor. The camera shop recently did a SOOC JPEG shoot out and were surprised how low Fuji scored and mentioned something about this Sony sensor not having that previous magic. I got the XT2 mainly for video but will admit to being severely underwhelmed with the stills, especially in low light (or even average lit conditions). I also find it renders very flat and poorly for architecture and landscape.. basically just decent for portraits imo.. then again i am new to fuji and come from a full frame background.. maybe with some better prime lens i'd get nicer results but i did have a X100T briefly and much preferred how that sensor (and lens combo) rendered out in general. my 0.2c
