Been fumbling my way through settings etc for a number of years with some ok results and some not, went on holiday to Vegas last year and decided to take the camera, took some on auto and some on manual etc,  on auto the night and even some of the day shots were just ok,    visiting again this year, any advice regarding settings, followed  the instructions I got with it but failed miserably as it's not a place you can just stop and have a read of the booklet.Thanks

It seems that you have something specific in mind, but the information you are giving us to work with is so vague that it is difficult to know where to start saying things to help you.

Can you post an image and say what you wanted it to show and why you think it does not get there? Make sure to include the settings you used at that time.

If you want general settings for walking around in an urban environment (such as your trip to vegas);

Use aperture priority and use a medium aperture (f5.6 or f8)

Use auto-ISO and a range such as 200-6400

Use single-point autofocus with the focus point centred (focus and recompose)

Use Preview Picture Effect so that you see under and overexposure in the viewfinder

Use either a general purpose zoom such as the kit 18-55, or a compact prime lens such as the XF 18/2 or XF 23/2

----

Vary these basics as you gain experience and knowledge and need specific settings for particular circumstances.

EG. Use the faster prime lens, f2 wide open in low light situations such as indoors or at night.

Practice often, take the camera and lens out with you when you leave home, make the sort of photos you want to make on your trip in your home territory. Be a tourist in your own town/city/area. Become accustomed to the camera and lens and how it behaves in different circumstances, learn to adjust it to get the results you want. Then when you travel you will not need to think about the basics of camera operation and can focus on the place and the photos you want to make.

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By Don Barar · Posted

      The backslashes you are referring are just symbols denoting path.  Once you import into these LUTS into Davinci Resolve those backslashes are removed by default and you only see is the true file name which has no backslashes.  Convince yourself of this by opening the LUT folder from the Davinci Resolve Project Settings.  Do you see any backslashes in those LUT names? Of course not.  The only name you see is the one that has the underscores and the periods. These LUTS work as designed without having to change any path names.  However, they need to be set up properly through CSTs and by what is supported in Davinci Resolve.  Hence, the FLog2C film simulation LUTS cannot be used because Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut color space and the FLog2C gamut. Alternatively, Davinci Resolve does support Flog2 film simulation LUTS because the color space for FLog2 is Rec 2020 and there is an FLog2 gamut. If all you are doing is changing the path names then you are not getting the correct results.

      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 😕

      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!
