You will probably get a better answer over in the General Discussion or the Fuji X System forums (this is pretty much a show photos section) but a 24 MP camera (the XF10 you have) stores images as either jpeg or raw (raf) format. The jpeg size (even at the large-fine setting) still compresses the files to be smaller usually around 6-8MB or so. MP refers to mega pixel count with is different than MB which is drive storage size -- and that is estimated differently than computer memory MB size. The raf storage size will depend on what image size you have chosen in your camera's setting menu -- if it is on the largest setting, the storage size may be around 30MB give or take a few MBs

Hello Jerry and thank you for the explanation ...I am not so sure that I understand...do you mean that then even at the highest settings the file size of 30 MB would be then the normal ?  But My files with the highest settings are not more than 9 MB ....I will when a new doubt arise then direct my post to General Discussion section.

Greetings JUlio

That depends on what you have chosen in your settings menu for the save format. I think you have the camera set to only save images using the jpg format.

If I recall correctly, the camera will, fresh out of the box, be set to use the jpeg (jpg) format and it may be also set to use the Large image size as well as the Fine setting to give you the most resolution. But, and this is the tricky part, using the jpg storage format means the file will be compressed (made smaller) as it is saved. These settings will usually give you a saved file size of around six to eight MB. The files moved over to your computer will have their names end in .jpg and most viewing/editing apps let you view them quite easily.

There is also another save option that you will have to turn on yourself in the settings menu that will have the camera save the images in Fujifilm’s raw format. These files have the file name ending in .raf and you can choose how large they can be as well (up to the maximum possible for your camera’s sensor size). These files will usually need to be edited in a image processing program of some kind before they are easily viewable. These files can be as large as 30MB because they save a lot more information than jpeg files save.

You can also choose to have the camera save both raf and jpg files at the same time, which makes it easy for quick cataloging among other things.

However, getting all of these options set right is better suited for discussing in the other forums.

      How to turn OFF the wifi antenna

      By jerryy · Posted

      It is really easy to find out if the wifi is on. Your computer or tablet or cell phone will have a network settings dealing with wifi, bluetooth, ethernet or “other”. Open that up and go into the section for wifi, and take note of which networks are listed. Turn on the camera and keep watching the list of networks. If your camera’s wifi is turned on, a new network should suddenly show up in your computer/tablet/phone’s network listings. Now go into the camera’s menus and start a wireless connection (the x-app or camera remote app can help you with this). You should see a network show up now. It is not hidden because it has to be visible so that your computer/tablet/phone can join the camera’s network to transfer images. Turn the camera off and that network should disappear. Turn the camera back on and see what happens.

      Sigma 500mm F4 + XH2S?

      By Stogursey · Posted

      I think my Fuji 150-600 F8 is a brilliant wildlife lens in terms of sharpness, portability and value but the small aperture does cause issues at the start and end of the day - even pushing the ISO as far as I dare, I can see shutter speed down to 1/25s - stabilisation isn't an issue but asking a deer to stand still for that is too much! In the same situation, an F4 would give 1/100s so the difference to the success rate would be phenomenal... and that's without the other improvements like shallower depth of field. I also find that the Fuji's subject detect AF gets pretty iffy in low light - I keep updating to the latest firmware but it doesn't seem to get any better. I was originally looking at the Nikon 500mm F4 E but good examples secondhand are still reasonably expensive but like-for-like Sigma lenses are around half the price. Reviews I have read suggest that they are as good optically, AF performance and IS-wise but you gain a few hundred grams of weight (but less than the older Nikon model). For a couple of grand, I can live with that. Does anyone have any experience mounting one on an XH2S? What about with the 1.4 teleconverter? It feels like that is pushing it anyway - hefty lens + TC + Fringer all sounds a bit...wobbly? It is on the Fringer approved list but I am wary about AF speed in particular. I had also considered looking for a used Nikon 400mm F2.8, which would be even faster (and heavier) and could couple with a TC to give 560mm F4 but again, it is that lens+TC+Fringer combination that worries me as being just too many links in the chain. Of course, what I really want is a native Fuji prime but that doesn't seem to be on the horizon - and if you look at what Nikon and Sony are doing, if Fuji do ever bring out a 500mm prime, it will probably be a small, light and cheapish F5.6, which is only 2/3 stop better than my zoom at the same focal length. Any thoughts anyone?

      How to turn OFF the wifi antenna

      By Greybeard · Posted

      The Amazon link is an annoying feature of this forum - its automatic and is applied to every post for advertising purposes. My question was - how do you know the camera wi-fi is on and requires turning off? I would have thought this would just use up the battery for no purpose if you aren't specifically using a function that requires wi-fi.
