Hi guys, 

first of all "hello" - this is my first post here on the forum, I hope you all are doing great. 

I just received my Fujifilm X100V two days ago and I'm setting everything up to my needs. I ordered the Fuji because I want to have like a digital camera that I can shoot like a Film point & shoot like a Contax T2 (38mm f2.8) or a Yashica T4 (35mm f3.5). One of the most important things for this is the built-in flash which I kinda adore on Film cameras and it can give that "snapshot vibe" I know from images from the 80s of my parents.

The flash of the X100V seems even stronger than the one from the Contax T2:
Contax: "The compact camera comes equipped with a flash range of 0.7- 3m. This allows you to take great shots in low-light conditions as well as in total darkness."
Fuji: "Effective range: (ISO 1600) approx. 30cm - 7.4m/1.0ft. - 24.3ft."

So, does anyone has experiences with the flash of the Fuji or even better some useful tips? I have to admit that I didn't shoot flash like ever, so, I would be happy for any sort of guide.

Here are some examples I would like to achieve with the Fuji:

Thank you for reading, stay save!

    • The backslashes you are referring are just symbols denoting path.  Once you import into these LUTS into Davinci Resolve those backslashes are removed by default and you only see is the true file name which has no backslashes.  Convince yourself of this by opening the LUT folder from the Davinci Resolve Project Settings.  Do you see any backslashes in those LUT names? Of course not.  The only name you see is the one that has the underscores and the periods. These LUTS work as designed without having to change any path names.  However, they need to be set up properly through CSTs and by what is supported in Davinci Resolve.  Hence, the FLog2C film simulation LUTS cannot be used because Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut color space and the FLog2C gamut. Alternatively, Davinci Resolve does support Flog2 film simulation LUTS because the color space for FLog2 is Rec 2020 and there is an FLog2 gamut. If all you are doing is changing the path names then you are not getting the correct results.
    • I found the reddit topic i refere to :  https://www.reddit.com/r/davinciresolve/comments/1pc3f1e/cant_apply_new_fujifilm_gfx_55_lut/ "Update for y'all, It's just like what @ExpBalSat said, it's because of the backslashes in the names break them. I changed the file name and it works now. "   For me it was the solution. Realy annoying if it doesn’t work for you 😕  
    • Here is the solution to using the Eterna 55 file simulation LUTs in Davinci Resolve.   In general, do not use the FLog2C to film simulation LUTs as they are not supported by Davinci Resolve for two reasons: 1) Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut Color Space and 2) Davinci Resolve does not support FLog2C gamma.  Instead, use Flog2 which is supported by Davinci Resolve.  Here is an example.  Let's say that you want to use Classic Chrome simulation.  Do the following: Complete your color grade and use a CST to get to Rec 709. Add a node.  Use a CST to convert from Rec 709 to FLog2.  Output Color space is Rec 2020 and Outout Gamut is FLog2. Add a node.  Apply the FLog2 to Classic Chrome LUT Create a combination node from node in steps 2 and 3. Apply a Key to the combination node and adjust the Key Output Gain to get the amount of the combination node that you want applied. So that you do not have to do this over and over again, generate a LUT for the combination node.  Remember to turn off all other nodes before generating the LUT. Hope this helps others. Don  
    • Thanks for the insights. I think it's really hard to make a decision without having the two side by side!
