Acros film simulation with colour preview in EVF?

Having owned an X-E1, X-Pro1 and X-T1 and just upgraded to the X-Pro2, I am used to using the live exposure preview in EVF to determine the correct exposure. I wish to shoot Raw to card slot 1 and Acros simulation Jpegs to slot 2. My question is: in this configuration I can't find a way of seeing the live preview in colour while using the film simulation. Has anyone found a work around?

All simulations are always shown in the EVF.

 

You can’t see a raw image, what you see is always a jpeg with any raw processor, embedded in the raw picture.

 

I have never known any better than once you’ve chosen your simulation that is what you visualize. You can, alternatively, shoot raw+fine and have a raw, color, picture and a black and white but what you will see will be the simulated picture of your choice.

Thanks for clearing that up. I guess another option is to just shoot Raw, with no Jpeg in slot 2 and select images for an in camera Acros conversion. I shot a few weddings, for the first time this year, on an X-T1 and a lot of the picture lent themselves to a black and white treatment. It would save a lot of time if I could shoot in Raw colour with an automatic black and white version. I could look at a Photoshop - Action to achieve the same thing. I'll will also see if it is possible to assign a one button custom function to switch the Acros on when required.

      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.

      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

      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.
