Hi all,

 

i have a problem with my preview. 

it seems that the preview is more saturated and more contrasty than the final image.

When i look at the monitor (or EVF) the image it looks quite saturated and contrasty and when i take the image, the image changes to a less saturated and less contrasty version.

Anyone else noticed this? 

(i have WB preview on btw.) and screen settings all on "0"

 

thanks, Tom

i have HUGE problems with exposure and color inaccuracy on my LCD as well with EVF .I've used all the metering modes,changed the exposure,preview effect ,nothing.The image is different on the screen ,always much brighter or much darker (depending the mode) than the picture i finally get.Colors also are inaccurate and now i switched again to Fuji X-T1 which is wayyyyy more accurate  and what i see is what i get.I'm going to contact Fuji Service to see what they're going to tell me.

Yes, to me it seems the LCD of the X-T2 slightly darker than the X-T1's .The main problem is: LCD before shot vs image taken (RAW or Jpeg) and EVF before shot vs image taken (RAWor Jpeg) .I'm changing the white balance and the exposure and what i get is different ,meaning that the changes on the LCD or EVF are not accurate.

well, any digital image will look somewhat different depending on the software AND the hardware that you use, as discussed elsewhere one can only get a picture in the EVF and LCD to represent as close as possible what the histogram of the image tells you but it will always be an approximation.

 

 

This is another thread with virtually the same question as this (thread duplication is very common)

In my experience one of the key ways to get in your electronic viewfinder or your liquid crystal display to show an image as close as the one that you will get on your computer is to tune DOWN the EVF and LCD luminosity.  I have it on -1 the EVF and on 0 the LCD)

 

Of course you need to enable the function preview picture too.

 

 

 

Even on the X-T1 many have complained that the picture doesn’t actually represent the image that they see on their computer.

 

I find that

Absolutelly sure! XT1 is a benchmark! Hope Fuji support will fix it. Do you know how we could 'officially' report this issue to Fujifilm?

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By thelostkiwi · Posted

      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

      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.

      Typically you need to make sure the lens is compatible with the camera, i.e. check the lens compatibility charts for your camera, then make sure the respective firmwares are updated so older issues are resolved. After that, each lens has a manufacturer’s profile which will be embedded into the raw file meta data for the images captured using that lens. From there, it is up to the raw conversion software to apply the lens correction to the image. Different converters do that differently, some automatically, some only if a setting is turned on. For in-camera jpegs, the on-board converter does the corrections automatically, assuming the camera recognizes the lens, it applies a generic profile otherwise. I do not know if that can be turned off or not.
