Is there way to shoot video with slow shutter on Fuji cameras. Tried all sorts of solutions but can´t get below 1/25


Recommended Posts

So what I want to do is shoot video with slow shutter speeds. Shutterdrag is an other word for it. 1/8, 1/4 and so on. Tried all solutions but the right one.

Tried to set the camera in stills mode to for example 1/8 but when I switch to videomode the shutter speed goes to !/25 and I can´t get slower. Has anyone got an idea or solution?

Regards Peter

My hacked Panasonic GH2 does slowshutter

https://fujifilm-x.com/global/products/cameras/x-t3/feature-movie-recording/#:~:text=The FUJIFILM X-T3 is our first model that,200Mbps bitrate recording when shooting 4K%2F60P 4%3A2%3A0 10bit.

Scroll down to the Movie Recording section, the speeds are listed in the chart. I will not be in a good place to try this for the X-T30 for several days, but you may be able to try it there as well. Just change the movie compression type and see what happens. The chart lists speeds down to ¼ second.

Well I´m not the greatest fan of Fujis menus. It seems like the xt-30 does n.ot allow you to change video compression. No  intra or Long GOP. I checked xt-30 II on the link you sent me  jerryy and cat that the mark 2 can do it either.  It seems like none of my cameras does slower than !/25 or 1/24. Irritating! The xt-1 has very few settings at all but it´s a great stills camera. I have not tried 10bit on the xt-30 though...

Any other good advice, someone? ( I spent an enormous amount of time trying to make the xt30 cooperate for an project, my old Panasonic saved me!

After trying all sorts of solutions, I'm still not able to get below 1/25th shutter speed for shooting a music video on my Fuji camera. I'm starting to think that there may not be a way to achieve this on this model of camera. I've read about some creative solutions that involve using ND filters or exposure compensation, but I'm not sure how much of a difference that will make. I'm also considering renting a different camera with a slower shutter speed, but that is a last resort. Until then I film on my iPhone 14 pro and post my videos on TikTok. I became pretty addicted to this social media but I guess it's good because posting constantly will help me reach more people. SocCeleb is helping me a lot with that.

Works for me.  Try shooting ProRes (that's what I shoot everything in).

    • 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! 
    • I don’t have the 23 f2 but I have read several times that it is considered a little soft at close distance, compared to the 23 f1.4 lenses. These will also focus at shorter distance from the subject, esp. the new one. So that might make a difference. The new 23 f1.4 LM WR  has better resolution, esp. in regard to the 40Mpix sensors, which you don’t have on the X-T2. What practical difference that makes for the value of the pictures one makes is disputable and subjective.  f1.4 will gather more light but with a smaller DOF, which may be desirable in some situations but not so in others, depends. If you like to shoot close ups, you will probably use higher f numbers to get a bigger DOF. Same for landscapes. If you are a bokeh fan, yes the f1.4 lens are better.  The older 23 f1.4 lens that you are considering is a very good and respected lens. The f1.4 vs f2 aperture per se is perhaps not so important. The 23 f2 is very small, light and practical and a great lens for travel and landscapes. So, go figure. I am afraid I just sent you further down the road to insanity !
    • First post here but long time fuji shorter. I use the XT2 with the 23mm f2 / 35mm 1.4 / 16-80mm f4 I'm considering the 23mm f1.4 r (Non-WR) About me: - I shoot black and white only. - I like macro details to wide open landscapes and everything in-between. - I shoot mostly for art, intrigue and creativity of the image. My question - is the 23mm f1.4 going to offer me any meaningful difference over the f2 for the above scenarios Thanks and sorry for bringing it up again...
