Hi everyone,

 I m a new owner of an EXT3, having been out of photography for 10 years my prior 20 years of knowledge is looking useless. I used to shoot a canon which gave me RAW, NOW I have RAF, 1. What's the difference?

2. I have photoshop and do a lot of editing and am used to converting RAW but keep getting the message "not the right type of document". Completely confused what to do.. Help !!

3. I shot seven photos today and got 7 jpeg and and only 5 RAF. Why? What can I do to make sure I get a RAF or RAW  of each when I shot?

The raw file format is manufactorer and model specific. I guess the F in RAF stands for Fuji.

Any raw converter has to be adapted to newer camera models. So older software versions might not be able to read newer files.

Conerning JPG and RAF you should check your settings in the setup menu.

There is no such thing as EXT3 - do you have X-E3, X-T3 or something else?

Which version of Photoshop do you have? If you have an Adobe subscription make sure you have the latest updates.

Some cameras do not support raw with certain settings - if you attach an original jpeg (straight out of the camera) we may be able to tell you why the RAF wasn't created.

Older Photoshop or Adobe Camera Raw versions might not work with RAF files from the X-T3, so it's a good idea to check if your ACR plugin is updated. You might also want to give Adobe DNG Converter a shot to convert your RAF files to DNG because Photoshop can handle those without any hassle.

      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.
