Hey...

I own XT-10 and want to upgrade to Fujifilm X-T30 II...

I will be using it mainly for video recording, and I will do it by myself... I mean, I am a musician and I will make videos of me, mainly music videos, playing guitar... I want to know, if I can watch the screeen on a TV or on my Macbook while recording, if the camera is few meters away? Any way also for remote control of camera? I would be happy to have control over focus, and start and end button... Focus remote control would be impossible, I suppose? Video length limit would be 30 minutes?

Thanx...

All of these things are possible.

You can use the HDMI output to monitor what you are seeing or to store the footage, etc., etc. This can get very involved, so you may want to ask over in the video forums how they do that. If you are intending to just record to the SD card, make sure it is on Fujifilm’s approved list so that there are no glitches.

You can use the Cam Remote app on a smart phone (iPhone or Android) or iPad as wireless remote control — this gives you start/stop as well as shutter speed f-stop, ISO,  control. I am a little hesitant to recommend this route for long day usage as it has to turn on the wifi and bluetooth chips in the camera to operate, which causes heat. How much of a problem this would be for you I do not know. Possibly folks in the video forums can help you or recommend a HDMI recorder that offers working start/stop capabilites.

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By Don Barar · Posted

      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!
