Why no ISO dial on entry level models?

Just curious. On the XT-30 and XE3 models they don't have the ISO dial like on the X-T3, but they still have the exposure compensation dial. If they wanted to make a simpler design for the entry level models, why not keep the ISO dial and remove the exposure compensation dial instead? Maybe I shoot differently than most photographers but in my mind the most important settings on a camera are the aperture, shutter and ISO controls. Was it a deliberate nerf to get people to buy the X-T3 for the full "Fuji-experience" or do most people use the exposure compensation dial more than the ISO dial?

I use the rear dial to change ISO on both the X-T3 and X-T30 - it keeps the interface the same and is actually easier to use when shooting than the top dial.

I would probably do that too when I buy my first Fuji camera. Do you have to push the dial before setting the ISO? Can you scroll through the Auto ISO settings too with the same dial or how would you typically map both settings?

No - you don't need to push the dial first and yes - you can scroll through all fixed and auto ISO settings with the same dial (the three Auto ISO settings are at the end after the highest fixed ISO).

Awesome! This is exactly how I would setup the dial on the XE3. Would do you use the other dial for? I was thinking if setting it to face/eye detect would be beneficial but I'm not sure.

I use the other dial for aperture - frequently using adapted lenses and lenses without aperture ring it gives me a consistent interface.

      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!
