Thank you very much.

With a ND filter, is it still advisable to adjust exposure compensation?

Jerry, Thank you for your eye-opening advices. How many stops of ND filter do you suggest for the rock face and snowcapped mountain situations?

I am trying to figure out a way to capture the details without doing extensive post work:

Will CPL filter may be beneficial in these 2 situations?

I respect your expertise. Maybe Fuji’s IQ is not as smart as it should be yet.

Can I use one the the ISO settings to accomplish something similar to 5 shot arrangement, such as the HDR setting?

Thank you so very much. It cleared things up a lot for me.

Thank you so much your insight. They are truly educational to me. 
 

I have another question if you would indulge me:

When shooting the face of a mountain that is mostly rocky and under bright sun. The rock face became overexposed as to lose details. What exposure mode will you recommend?

 

In addition, what exposure mode do you recommend to capture details of a snowcapped mountain?

One more question:

What is the difference between a higher aperture setting and a negative exposure compensation? 

[XT-4 loses detail in bright light situations]

Good idea on moving the exposure compensation to minus. This is what I need to do. Thank you very much.

When I shoot a mountain with a rock face under bright sun, XT-4 tends to lose details of the rock structure as compared to iPhone 13 Pro Max. 
 

ia there a way to overcome this as to bring out more details. 
 

Yours,

Mike
