  1. What are you wanting to use X Raw Studio to accomplish? The Raw Converter program will let you apply all of the Fujifilm simulations to the raw files. Also note the X-S10’s playback menu will let you choose a raw image and convert it in camera to a jpeg file, applying the various available settings to the conversion.
  2. How about a different approach? https://fujifilm-x.com/en-us/products/software/raw-file-converter-ex-powered-by-silkypix/ This should read your compressed files and it gives you the means to convert them to other formats (TIFF, JPEG) as well as make a lot of other edits; tone, white balance, fulm simulation, orientation, cropping, etc. before the conversion. Since you are on a Mac, you can set the camera menu’s PC Connection Mode to USB CARD READER, connect the camera to your Mac and use Image Capture to copy the files to your computer’s drive.
  3. Black Vultures (Coragyps atratus)
  4. Get a card reader and you should be okay. Of course, test things a couple of times before going on that big shoot.
  5. The 29.97 number comes from the old days of broadcast television. It was a means to allow color tv to work with the previous black and white broadcasts and not make everyone have to go buy a new tv until they wanted to. It was called theNTSCstandard. This changed in the US a few years back when the entire over the air broadcasting went digital. Other countries (Europe) went with the PAL standard of 25 frames per second. This may help explain: https://petapixel.com/2016/10/05/know-cameras-shoot-29-97fps-not-30/ If you know of any older video folks they can tell you hair curdling tales of problems they would face in trying to convert the older video into the newer standards. 🤢 For the most part, you will be okay using 29.97 or 30 frames per second. Today’s software usually have no problems converting between the two.
  6. Arcturus Arcturus’ bright light was used to open the 1933 World’s Fair in the host city Chicago, Illinois (USA). Back then, people thought Arcturus was 40 light years away from Earth, so it was chosen to go along with the 40th anniversary of the previous Chicago World’s Fair in 1893. https://chicagology.com/centuryprogress/1933fair54/ https://www.space.com/22842-arcturus.html
  7. Still more forest flowers:
  8. Have you tried the 'hard' reset (write down the list of your current settings, pull the batteries out, set it on a shelf for several days and resist the urge to check on it until after several days go by -- several meaning at least four instead of three)? The 'hard' reset option usually causes all the settings to go back to the out-of-the-box factory settings. There is a small chip on the camera board that stores the settings, it is powered by the main battery which is backed up by a capacitor that powers the chip for a short time when the main batteries are pulled out, such as when you swap them out. Once the capacitor is drained, (this can take a while) settings are supposed return to factory fresh defaults. If that option fails, the settings chip may need a visit to your camera dealer's repair shop.
  9. It could be the GFX just does not want to work with that older type cable. Try it with a different newer cable. But it does sound like your C - C cable is working.
  10. I have a small typo (mistake) in that I should have written the white ends are originally USB 1.0, but many manufacturers use it for USB-2.0. this may help: https://www.geeksinphoenix.com/blog/post/2014/01/12/How-to-tell-what-type-of-USB-connector-you-have-by-color.aspx Check your menu settings, for PC Connection Mode. It sounds like you have it set to USB RAW CONV. / BACKUP RESTORE -- this is what it should be to copy the settings to your computer. To transfer images, set it to USB CARD READER, then some of your programs will be able to transfer the images.
  11. You should be able to use a USB-C to USB-A cable for the transfer. USB-C is simply the connector type, it does not speed or slow the data transfer. The GFX-50R uses what used to be called the USB-3.0 speed protocol, (it was renamed USB-3.1 gen 1) which should be in the capabilities of most USB-C to USB-A cables, as well as the USB port on the computer and on the camera. These are supposed to be backwards compatible, in case one end is not up to the task, the other end slows down to accommodate the situation. Does your USB-C to USB-A cable have blue in its connector or white? It should be blue, white means it is actually using USB-2.0 speeds, which should still work, but ... it could be the cable is going bad, or one of the ports is just throwing a fit, just because it can.
  12. More forest flowers ...
  13. By chance are you using both card slots in backup mode? If you are just using one slot, pull the sd card, put it in a card reader and attach it to your computer. It should mount as an external disk which you can look through and make sure there are no shenanigans going on as far as duplicate entries. If you have two cards in the slots, you might be getting the errors through a backup type menu setting.
  14. Why should Reptiles get all of the fun? 😀 Blanchard’s Cricket Frog (Acris blanchardi) Open thread!
  15. I do not think it is easily possible, since the camera turns off saving the raw file and only saves the jpeg. I think you will have to do the best you can using an image editor to salvage what you can in the image.
  16. This may help you: https://www.colinnichollsphotography.com/fuji-wedding-photography-blog/2014/3/3/fuji-xf-55-200mm-35-48-ois-vs-fuji-xc-50-230mm-45-67-ois The 55-200mm has the aperture ring and that can come in really handy. Fujifilm has released that new 70-300mm which 'by most accounts' is really good.
  17. Welcome to Fuji World, it is colorful and then some! 😃 It depends on what lens I have on the camera when I encounter the flowers, I have no special emphasis, unless I really do not think the lens is appropriate for the setting and have time to think it is safe to change it without getting dust into everything. Telephoto lens actually are good at landscapes! Everything I have seen posted for images taken using that new lens you have looks really good. I think you will enjoy it. I think this one was taken at f11, I will check later and let you know if not. I have not tried the 80mm macro lens yet, but the 60mm macro is pretty good. Thank you for your kind words.
  18. Thank you, it has been fun keeping up with the troll family. They do not move very fast, but then neither do I. 🙂
  19. There is DarkTable : http://darktable.org and Fujifilm Raw Converter: https://fujifilm-x.com/en-us/products/software/raw-file-converter-ex-powered-by-silkypix/ Both of these are free and very worthwhile. It seems strange to process jpegs other than to resize them. It certainly can be done with decent results if you saved the original in-camera at 100% quality and only edit them once; never edit - save as jpeg, reopen, edit -save as jpeg, and so on because the lossy format will degrade the image so much the image gets ugly. Perhaps it is better to tune your in-camera settings to give you the desired outcome. The raw converters will let you experiment with various choices and not damage the original. Since Fujifilm released X Raw Studio, capturing raw + jpg is not as needed since one can now just connect the camera to the computer and use X Raw Studio if there is a need for the camera made jpg version, which in turn, saves space on the camera card while shooting.
