XT2 Bracketed exposures

As you all know once bracket exposures has been set up in the Drive menu, you turn the Drive dial to Bracket, press the shutter once and hey presto it takes 3 bracketed images.

 

If you keep your finger on the shutter, the camera sounds like its continually firing a motorised sequence, brilliant I thought, motorised bracketed exposures, just what I want.

But alas, when you check your sd card you only have 3 exposures, not the 10 or more you thought.

 

Is this me or is it normal on the xt2?

 

Without a firmware upgrade is there another way to motorised bracketed exposures? other than prodding the shutter rapidly.

Bracketing on this camera is 3 images.  Default exposure, then one brighter then one darker.  

 

When the camera is in burst mode, you get the intended 3 pic's for that one scene but if you continue to hold the shutter button, the camera will start a new series of 3 and keep doing that over and over.  Unfortunately it doesn't work in a way that every image you take in burst mode is a slightly different exposure.

Hi Adam,

 

I agree in principle with your scenario but when I fire the brackets like that, yes I get lots

of burst activity whilst holding down the shutter, but when I check my newly formatted sd card, there are only three images on it.

 

The only way to get a second set of three images is to release the shutter then press it again.

 

Could you please try this on your xt2

I know it's not the same camera, but on my XT10 when I change to bracketed exposure via the drive dial I press the shutter and get 3 bracketed shots, complete with the noise of three consecutive shutter activations. I must admit to thinking it's the way it should work.

If I press continually nothing further happens, no noise, no further shots, just the end of the process.

 

If I ever wanted to take 3 more shots I'd release the shutter and press again.

Does it do the same if you have CH or CL continuous set or is this in single shot?

With the XT10 the bracket selection and CH/CL are on the same dial, so you can't select bracket and continuous at the same time. I thought that was the same configuration as the XT2? Edited by MirrorMirror

I don't know if would make any difference or not, but if you aren't running latest firmware on the body, make sure to update.  If you are, see if you can reinstall it.  Otherwise, sounds like a problem and will need to be brought in for servicing if you find it to be a problem.  Otherwise, it's just an odd quirk.

Although it is constantly said that Fujifilm listens to its customers, we have been constantly asking (in my case since 2012) for more than 3 pictures bracketing. After more than 4 years, Fuji has finally allowed us to make a +-2 EV bracketing in the X-T2. When will we have the possibility to take, at least, up to 5 pictures? This shouldn't be that difficult!

      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...
