Hello Everyone, 

I just picked up an XT2 and this is my first Fuji camera, really excited about using it. I've been watching a lot of youtube videos and reading forum post to familiarize myself with the camera and its settings. I am very impressed by the film simulations but really confused on how to use them in conjunction with RAW files. I was under the impression that if I shoot RAW+JPEG(Fine/Norma) with a film simulation selected (e.g. Chrome). Simulation is applied to JPEG only and RAW file is pure raw without any processing that I can edit however I want in post processing. But I took the camera out for the first time and realized the film simulation is applied to both JPEG and RAW. Is there a way to shoot with film simulation applied to JPEG but get unprocessed RAW files from XT2? 

Thanks for everyone's help in advance!

The raw file has (at least) three components:

- the raw data (which doesn't have any film simulation applied),

- metadata which gives all sorts of information about the image including the film simulation in use when the image was taken

- a preview image jpg that image viewers typically use when you look at the raw image (this has the film simulation applied).

The raw file can be processed by a raw converter - Fuji and Adobe (amongst others) have raw converters that can apply any film simulation to the raw data - not just the simulation you used when shooting the image.

    • I only started at 400 ISO to trigger the dynamic range setting on the X-H2 and agree higher ISO will be good for capturing crisp waves I depend on exposure compensation a lot too. For sunsets at the beach, I usually shoot them on a tripod, rarely handheld. At higher ISO, the noise can be considerable when rescuing shadows so I will probably only go up to ~1200.  The closed aperture is to control the amount of light from shooting direct in the sun and create a wide depth of field, but I also agree, dialing back to f/11 or f/8 could work when the sun is very low on the horizon.  I spot meter on the sun, then dial in the exposure compensation to bring up the shadows. Maybe this isn't a good approach, but it seems to work. I think I just need to be more aggressive with the exposure compensation and see what happens. I may have a chance tonight at a different location on the coast and will post my findings. Thanks for the advice.
    • I recently updated my Pixel 6 to a Pixel 10. Now no more connection issues. I'll never know why. Both phones were running Android 16.
    • It's similar to what happens to my XT-5 and Oneplus phone. For those of us with OnePlus/Oppo phones we get told the connection has been lost. So it might be another aspect of the problem, though so far at least it has looked like Samsung and Google phones were working OK. Judging by the number of people who have problems after firmware updates, I find it difficult to understand why Fuji can't make it possible to downgrade. At least then you could back out of something nasty.  Good luck. 
    • Well I have seemed to found the solution. SetUp-Screen setup-EVF Brightness-Auto/Manual. It was set on auto. However, when I choose "manual" and tried to make an adjustment is said "check the finder." While this did not allow me make any adjustments the EVF was substantially brighter. Problem solved. I wish to thank all the help I gave to myself concerning this matter. 🙄 (Actually I just got lucky before someone pointed all this out.)
    • I have just received a new to me xpro2. It is excellent cosmetic shape, however, using an older analog lens the EVF is quite dim compared to the OVF which is nicely lit. I mentioned the lens only for reference. Question: Is there a setting for brightening the EVF or is this a problem with the EVF?
