Hello all, RAW doesn't seem to be an available option on my XT-1 while I'm in using full manual settings ('fine' & 'normal' are the only options avail to me). Here are my camera settings: White Balance: 'Shady' (why isn't there a 'flash' setting??); ISO: L (because I'm doing studio portraiture - working with strobes); Speed: 125; Mode: 'S' (single frame). I'm sure there's something simple I am missing here. Appreciate everyone's sage advice to make me a better photographer!

Hi there, Couldn't find any other topics in this. I was using my xt1 with Yong nuo 622 triggers and Bowens 500s no problem. When using my new xt2 at 250 I get darkening along the edge of the photo. Something is not syncing somewhere but can't figure out what it is. Bought a couple of cactus v6IIs as thought the triggers (canon Yong nuo 622s) may not be playing with the xt2 new flash protocol but same issue with then too

Hi, I'm creating this open thread to everyone who'd like to share pictures showing some strobe usage on their x-system. Here's my first contribution, with a sample from a editorial photography photoshoot for a sponsored bodybuilder who participated on FIBO 2015, in Germany. Simple setup, with 2x YN560III triggered from a YN560TX mounted on my X100S (yes, the 100S can also be helpful in situations like these, with the "leaf shutter" technology - and yes, it's a great camera for all pruposes, not necessarily directed for street photography). I used a high shutter speed to kill as much as i can the ambient light and also to give to the model some structure with very hard transitions between shadows and lit areas. The main light was fired from a 80cm silver umbrella (slightly folded) to ensure the light beam was slightly narrow and perfectly diffused, and the second light was placed in the top of the stairs, not only for composition, but also to give some rim light on him. Share your pictures, discuss techniques and gear and happy shootings X100S | ISO200 | 23mm | f5.6 | 1/1000
