XT2 owners, did you know this!

[miguel]

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

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
