Lots of underexposed pictures with X-H2S since firmware 3.0

Hi all!

Today I tested the camera, in continuous autofocus mode using the back button to focus, with only the 100-400 lens, only the 70-300 lens, and with the 70-300 lens + 1.4 teleconverter. In all 3 cases, I found the same problem: many photos came out underexposed! From this test, it is clear that the problem is not with the lenses. After that, with the 100-400 lens mounted, in manual mode with automatic ISO selection, and in continuous focus mode, I repeated the following tests in sequence, always pointing to the same spot. I clicked the shutter button halfway multiple times (with the shutter AF, AF-C ON option in the menu) and the exposure meter always gave me an ISO value of 400. Then, I switched AF-C OFF (so pressing the shutter button will not focus anymore) and pressed the shutter button halfway multiple times, still getting ISO values of 400. Finally, I held down the back button (so the autofocus is active and continuous) and pressing the shutter button halfway multiple times the exposure meter gave me values of 160! So, the algorithm somehow makes a mistake in setting ISO when pressing the shutter button halfway, while the back button (or autofocus) is constantly active! Has anyone else noticed this? This is just a terrible situation for people doing wildlife photography (which is one of the reasons this cam exists!). 

 

Thanks!

Hi, i experienced similar issues with exposure during panning. I tried different meterings and sort out that i have to useing compensation but it not always work. For exapmle when i panned plane during landing  - shots at the beiginign point of series were  underexposed but at the end of series exposure was correct (sun was behind me all the time) I have 50-140/f2.8 and 16-55/f2.8. Fuji recently updated firmware of that lenses related to chosing correct exposure but i didn't have time to test it yet.

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By PoorAlchemist · Posted

      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 😕

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By Don Barar · Posted

      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...
