Hi Folks,

I have a new X100F - which I am very much enjoying.

I am going bush walking in sunny Australia this weekend.

I am interested to hear from forum members their opinions about which film simulation mode is best for landscapes.

I use Provia/standard for almost everything and tweak in post-processing.  Works for me but lots of folks like the very subtle effects of others.  When I don't use standard, I go to Classic Chrome.

Since you are shooting landscapes, why not try an assortment of simulations on each shot or at least some shots to compare on your monitor or prints later?

Yes, Velvia works well, but the lens on the X100F has a fairly warm rendering, and I find that with Velvia it can sometimes make the greens (in particular) a bit too vivid for my taste. I like Astia, too: it's a little bit more subtle, though still nicely colourful. And you can't go too far wrong with Provia, which is well-balanced as to colour and contrast. It's all a matter of taste, though. Why not play around with these three for starters, and then enjoy experimenting with the rest.

Thanks for the advice folks.

So, I went out this afternoon to Gara Gorge - which is in the Oxley Wild Rivers National Park (NSW Australia).

It was late afternoon and the sun was setting. I used  the Velvia simulation. I am really happy with the X100F and love the the lens flare effect I was able to achieve in some shots. These are all out of camera jpegs - the only editing was some subtle cropping of the edges of a few shots.

      Hello, If you look in the top right-hand corner of each posting, there should be three dots in a row, like this —>  …  <—, click on them and after a moment or twelve, a small menu should drop down from the dots, the last entry in the menu is ‘Edit’. Choose that and after a moment or three you should be in edit mode for that entry. Note: Only you can edit your entries.

      Jerry I found out it's a Cherry Blossom but I can't figure out how to edit it.

      What is most ironic about this is that there must be many of us here that would be interested in significant ads about the products we're discussing. I would be. I normally hate ads, but relevant ones here would actually be somewhat welcome. What are the recent new Fuji product announcements? Is anybody offering a sale? How about 3rd party products? I mean, I actually want to spend money, more or less.

      CANNOT BACKUP OR RESTORE X-T4 SETTINGS WITH FUJI X ACQUIRE

      By Astigmatism · Posted

      I don't think I have your answer, but it's worth trying. It's been a few days, are you still struggling with this? I've used Acquire (on an iMac) and an X-T4 (also an X-T5 and an X-T30 ii) and it worked, at least as far as backing up. No error messages, and a computer file with stuff in it. I understand you get an error message when you attempt to restore the camera from a backup, but, does it look to you like the backup phase is working? I mean, do you get a saved file and no error messages? Do you have any other Fuji cameras, and does it work for them? I have had problems getting Acquire to detect the camera. I did all manner of playing around with starting the software, plugging in the camera, and powering the camera on, in various orders (including what the instructions say). I always got it to work eventually, but it took lots of playing some times. Lately it fires right up. Somebody here commented on this difficulty and the security obstacles in the computer. Are you getting a connection easily, or after trying things, or not at all? Does Acquire show your camera model and the few settings it displays correctly?
