Forgive me if you already know this info but I feel its only right to share knowledge especially with people on this forum that have helped me.

 

If you shoot in Raw + jpeg normal you get a much lower resolution jpeg image in your playback screen than you will get if you shoot Raw + jpeg fine. If you select slot 2 in playback mode, then press the rear command dial you will see a 100% view of your focussed point. This will be a much larger image than if you select slot 1 which is the lower res image in the raw file.

Try it yourself, it does work very well.

 

The only problem I have is ensuring that slot 2 is the default slot selected.

If you press and hold the playback arrow you will see the message, slot 1 or 2 selected, go for slot 2.

You can also set Switch slot in the playback menu.

 

I am finding that having selected slot 2, taking some pics, switching the camera off and on, next time I check the playback it has switched back to slot 1.

 

If anyone knows how to keep it selected as slot 2, please let me know.

 

Have fun

 

Michael

Its kinda funny anyways tht Fuji won't show you a 100% view of a raw file. Every other Camera I 've owned could zoom in @ 100% regardless of RAW or JPG.

I have my 2 Card slots configured as swap/extension (I forgot whats the right term in the menu) So my RAWs and JPGs end up on the same Card and when Card 1 is full, Card 2 will be used. This way I get to see the bigger JPG zoom and dont have to change review slot every time.

 

I guess If you configure the Xt2 so that JPGs end up on Slot 1 and Raws on Slot 2 it may show the 'bigger' Jpgs as default?

The LCD shows you either the JPG or if you are shooting RAW only, then it shows you the JPG that's embedded in the .RAF file. Which is the same file that (for example) LR shows you during import.

 

You can't really preview a RAW file, it needs demosaicing etc, so you get to see the embedded JPG instead... I think pretty much every camera works like this

Hoschi420,

 

I have just found a quick way to change slots in order to view the larger Jpeg fine in slot 2.

 

Press the menu/ok in playback mode, allows slot change.

 

Still having found a way to make the camera default to slot2 in playback using Raw/Jpeg fine on my cards

      File numbering on GFX100RF

      By Hillsidebeer · Posted

      Just spotted this post on dpreview (https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4764491) that describes an identical problem with the GFX100 II. Given that this issue was reported to Fuji in June 2024, I'm not expecting a new firmware for the GFX100RF to resolve it any time soon.

      Fujifilm X-T5 is so bad

      By Kozlok · Posted

      Either your camera or lens is defective or you could be setting something incorrectly.  What level of experience do you have with photography?  ILC cameras like an XT5 assume the operator is skilled, and the settings allow for a wide variety of choices. If you aren't familiar with settings and modes, it's quite easy to take bad photos with a good camera. You should become familiar with your camera before accepting paid work.  For example, one setting is Focus Priority vs Release Priority. When set for release priority, the camera will take a photo as soon as you press the button. If it's set to focus priority, the camera will not function the shutter until focus is confirmed. If you set AF+MF to ON, then you get release priority, even if the camera is set to focus priority. There are many other modes that affect how the autofocus behaves. Continuous vs single vs manual mode, face detection, pet detection, etc.  Another problem is if your shutter speed is too slow, the image will appear blurry even if it is focused correctly.  If the ISO is too high, the image will be blurry even if everything else is correct. If you choose the wrong aperture, your images can be blurry.  For one of your images that is "bad", maybe post it here with EXIF data so we can offer advice?   Also, maybe watch this video

      X-T5 is a very good camera, I don’t have any issues with it and it takes great images. I would not change it for anything else that is available now, for me it works just fine. Fuji lenses are fantastic lenses. What FW version are you on ?

      Sensor Leaking / Damaged Sensor?

      By Astigmatism · Posted

      Glad to hear the light coming in from the left is just what gets around the lens cap. I think lens caps are just for protecting the lens, and don't promise to achieve total darkness for experiments or whatever else.   As to bad pixels, well, I don't know. I kind of ignore the issue and hope the camera is managing to hide them from me, as otherwise it's just going to make me mad not being able to fix them. I'd be interested to hear how expensive it is to "fix" them (meaning replace the sensor). Also, I think of them as something that only happens during sensor manufacture, but I wonder if there's anything the user does that influences having more or fewer of them.

      Fujifilm X-S20 webcam mode issue

      By Vid · Posted

      Here is what works for me, on my X-S20: Before connecting the USB cable, put the vamera in Vlog mode and select Auto Power Off to "OFF" in the Power Settings menu. Then turn off the camera, connect the USB cable, and turn it on. I am using the Fujifilm X webcam driver that can be downloaded from https://www.fujifilm-x.com/products/software. Note that putting the camera in any other mode than Vlog, or setting Auto Power Off to anything other than OFF, will cause the camera to power off automatically after a while. This is a more than questionable design choice for Fuji - not to call it a bug - as nobody in their right mind would expect a webcam to automatically power off while being used. Remember to set Auto Power Off back to your favorite choice once you are done using it as a webcam. Another thing to keep in mind is that the camera seems to be drawing power from its battery, rather than the USB port, while being used as a webcam. This is not documented in the owner's manual. So I strongly recommend you use a dummy battery with an AC adapter instead of the battery.
