Hi,

 

I just start shooting raw after 18 month with my X-T1 ! And now, I have just discovered that I cannot deactivate the red eye feature when using my nissin i40 flash and RAW mode !!!

 

Anyone aware of that and if there is a workaround or setting for that ?

 

many thank

Best regards

David

Seems to be like that...

 

Here's a link describing the same thing: http://www.lightingrumours.com/nissin-i40-fuji-review-7125

excerpt: "For example, when the face detection is turned on it is only possible to fire the flash with a preflash for red-eye reduction. This means there is a little delay between pressing the shutter button and actually taking the photo. OK for an amateur, but unacceptable for a pro. When you change the camera from RAW to JPEG+RAW suddenly it is possible to deactivate the red eye preflash, but not inside the normal flash menu, in a separate menu option."

 

May I ask why you don't shoot in RAW+JPEG mode? It is beneficial for reviewing your images in camera, since the embedded jpeg in the raw file has a much lower resolution, which makes it harder to check focus.

 

 

/edit: this form of red eye removal does not seem to be connected with jpeg-processing, it is hardware. Short pre-flash to force the subject's eyes to close the iris and thus prevent or weaken red eyes.

i've obseved the same red eye bug with firmware 4.2. in RAW mode. The EF-X8 and the EF-X20 are firing always a pre-flash in only RAW mode. This is quit annoying and wrong. The only cure seems to set RAW and (small) JPG.

RER only works with active FD, is it is described in the manual and my books. However, not being able to turn RER off in RAW only mode (when FD is active, of course) is a bug in my view, but I bet Fuji somehow sees it as a weird feature. For the time being, shoot FINE+RAW. That's what everybody is supposed to do, anyway.

Yes this seems to be a bug which happens regardless of the flash unit used. Using face detection with RAW always seems to produce a pre-flash and maybe half a second delay before the shutter fires. Two options to fix this, (1) turn off face detection, (2) enable RAW + jpg. No obvious reason why Fuji couldn't fix this.

Come on Fuji!

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By Giampaolo Masserano · Posted

      I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By jerryy · Posted

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By Trevor R · Posted

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.
