Fujinon Lens for Videos


Joe Roxx

Recommended Posts

QUESTION:

Any advise on which Fujinon lens that's best suited for videos? I currently have the XC15-45 kit lens and the XF18-55 f2.8-4 lenses that I use with either the X-T200 or X-S10. The lenses are OK but I need one that's better for low light. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Note that this is just mostly for recreational travel videos.

Also - see the link below. I'm concerned how much noise the lens motor makes during focusing and may make these lenses not suitable for videos.

    • That is so cool, and very clear too!  Thanks Jerry.
    • It must have been some weird glitch in the matrix...I deleted all the uploaded pics and toggled all the fine and raw settings, re-imported and now it works as normal again. Who knows?!🤷🏻‍♂️
    • Thanks Jerry, i must give it a try. I suppose it is better in a place without too much light pollution.
    • It looks like there may be several options that will affect your sequences. [For those reading along, a holy grail sequence is explained here: https://petapixel.com/2018/08/02/how-to-shoot-and-edit-a-holy-grail-timelapse-at-sunset-or-sunrise/ .] I very well sympathize with troubles coming from trying to get remote sequences, but sometimes, well, …, you still have to babysit the camera either in-person or via long distance wifi or ethernet. I noticed several light sources popping up in and out of your Smugmug video. Maybe try using spot metering with the exposure tied to the focus point. As long as no car lights or flashlights, etc. turn on and off inside the focus area, lights outside of the focus area will have far less effect on the overall exposure. You will have to tie the metering to the focus point as explained here: https://fujifilm-x.com/en-gb/learning-centre/which-metering-mode-should-you-choose/ It would be nice if there is a quick-do-this and everything is copacetic, but probably it will take working each part of the issues you are facing one at a time until you can get results you like better. The most troubling part is giving the camera free rein over the shutter speed with other “auto” features turned on as well. Older cameras did not have as much latitude to do as they wanted.
    • what exactly are you doing and what exact steps are you taking? when you say you "import to Lr or my phone" do you mean you are importing to LightRoom on your phone? what sort of phone and how are you importing the image files?
