Film Simulation Bracketing Not Working as Expected

I set my GFX 100 II camera to Film Simuation Bracketing for the following three simulations: Standard Pro Negative, Acros + green filter, Monochrome + green filter. I found I have to depress the shutter three times to get the three simulations. I thought it would be enough to depress the shutter once and the camera would take care of processing the raw file into three JPEGs with the three simulations. Isn't that how it is supposed to work?

I am shooting RAW + JPEG Fine. My camera body firmware version is 2.21.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Yes, I did. Both with the Drive button and in the menu when choosing the three film simulations. Does the Fujifilm GFX 100 II work differently than the X-series cameras?

The manual says it works the same as X series. "Each time the shutter is released, the camera takes one shot and processes it to create copies with different film simulation settings, chosen using A SHOOTING SETTING > FILM SIMULATION BKT."

The three steps I went through on the X-T4 were:

1. Go into Menu, Drive Setting, BKT Setting, Film Simulation BKT and select the three simulations.

2. Go back into Menu, Drive Setting, BKT Setting, BKT Select, Film Simulation BKT.

3. Switch the camera to BKT mode 

 

Then it took a single image and generated the three images. 

If you're doing that and it's not working I'm not sure what could be wrong. 

 

Does it work on other bracketing modes?

Well, switching it to AE BKT, keeping the shutter depressed while it shot 3 pictures, and then switching the DRIVE button back to FILM SIMULATION BKT fixed the issue.

My menu is apparently slightly different from the X-camera series menu. (I wish I still had my X-H2 to compare.) There is no separate DRIVE SETTING option under the SHOOTING SETTING.

But all is well that ends well. Thank you for your help!

      Infrared Photography on X-E2 665nm

      By Neil Rosenberg · Posted

      I'm not exaggerating when I say that I have searched with great vigor (and at great expense) for a way to capture IR images with a Fujifilm camera for which I didn't have to use major amounts of sharpening to bring out the best. Zooms, primes, Fuji, Tamron, Viltrox, Sigma, Zeiss ... probably 20 lenses all told. Plus multiple IR converted Fuji cameras, X-T1, X-T3, X-T5. I even tried different ways of filtering IR, such as using the Kolari clip-ins and lens-mounted front filters. I was ready to give up until I almost accidentally tried one of the cheapest lenses out there -- the little TTArtisan 27mm F2.8. No hotspots that I could see, and best of all ABSOLUTELY SUPERB SHARPNESS across the entire frame. It's this attribute that I search for, and until now, never achieved. In my prior attempts, I listened to the advice from the "pundits", picking up a copy of the venerable Fuji 14mm F2.8, the Zeiss Touitt 12mm F2.8, Fuji 23 and 35mm F2.0, even the very similar 7Artisans 27mm F2.8, and none of them come even close to the TTArtisan for edge sharpness in infrared. Incidentally, I'm using a Kolari 720nm clip-in filter. Sure the TT has its issues -- vignetting at 2.8, tendency to flare with sunlight nearby, but all in all, this lens is glued to my X-T5 for now. This image was taken hand-held with this lens -- completely unedited!

      Screen is flipped with fan001

      By Tschortschli · Posted

      Hy there When Im using the fan001 on the XH2s and I flip the LCD Screen vertically by 180 degrees then the image flips vertically, what is good but it also flips horizontally. The clean feed on HDMI is not flipping horizontally but its also flipping if the HDMI output info display is on. When I unmount the fan then the image flips only vertically. My firmware is updated to the latest version. Any ideas if there is a fix for that?

      In reply to the original question, it all depends on what you mean by infrared.  If you mean "see thermal information", then I agree with the comments here.  However, if you mean near-infrared, the X-T4, or basically any digital camera can be modified to "see" it.  Check out Lifepixel.com and Kolarivision.com for more info.

      XS10 and manual lenses

      No - I don’t think so - it means you can take pictures if you remove the lens completely - but I’m not sure that is a problem

      XS10 and manual lenses

      By mcewena · Posted

      I bought a manual lens over xmas and it took me a while to find the "shutter w/o lens" function in the menu settings.  So far I haven't found a way to either put that on the Q menu or marry that setting to one of the 4 custom modes.   Am I missing something? Is there a problem if I just leave that setting enabled even when the OEM auto lens is in place? tia
