XT-2 WILL NOT SHOOT RAW?

Merry Christmas.

 

If you haven't figured it out yet,  just use 2 cards and set JPEG & Raw in the menu. The card in the first slot will be the Raw file with the second slot JPEG.

Then remove the card in the first slot and try to read it on your computer. The computer should see them as RAF files. If so you have raw files. If not you have a problem.

 

I use older versions of Photoshop so I cant read the RAF files so I use the Adobe DNG Converter to convert them to the Universal Raw file (DNG). Easily read and edited.

 

Hope this helps  Bob

I have both my cd cards set to only raw and my cards are set to sequencing. After processing my raw files in either Lightroom CC or One 1 Photo Raw 1 I export my files, once I am happy with my post processing, to JPEG. By exporting my raw files to JPEG I can send them to Flickr, Smugmug or to email.

Hi

I am a total Newbie so bear with me, I have my XT-2 set to shoot RAW/JPEG but when I view the files on my SD card I only see files with .JPEG

shouldn't I see two files for each photo one with JPEG and one with RAF extensions?

Thanks, Cara

 

You will never see the raw file when chimping off the camera back.  Whether you are shooting jpeg/raw on one or two cards.  Won't happen.  I will assume that when you load them into your workstation, you then see both...  Also, on a related note, if you just shoot jpeg, not raw, when you chimp on the back of your display and press to go to 100% if you are only shooting jpeg, the image will only show the small, basic one, not a full sized jpeg -- so what you thought was in focus, after peeping at it may cause some disappointment later on when you are editing>

My lowly suggestion:  Shoot JPEG & RAW, either to the same card, or separate card.  This way you will have a full 100% when you chimp off the back of your LCD.  

later on when you are back at your computer, load the JPEG's in.  Nobody says you have to use/keep the raw files.  Delete them if you don't need them.  

 

My two cents.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      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.

      How does one make sure that Fuji's image correction is turned on to correct barrel and pin-cushion distortion on a GFX 100 or GFX100S when using the GF20-35? Is it only applied to the jpegs and not to the raw files? (I was surprised to discover the barrel distortion on the GF 35-70mm lens.) I normally shoot in raw with jpeg back-up and use the raw files, which I convert either in Affinity Photo 2 when editing with that program or in Raw File Converter Ex 3.0 by Silkypix if I wish to process the image in Photoshop CS6. (Adobe DNG is also a possibility.) Thank you for the help. Trevor
