Capture One Opens Your Fujifilm GFX Files with This Hack!

Capture One Vs. Lightroom (C1 Wins)
Comparing Capture One vs Lightroom on GFX50s file using RAF->DNG and manipulate EXIF-Data to PhaseOne IQ250 and no further editing. just opened as it is (lightroom zoom 1:1)

This little “hack” comes from our extremely active Fujifilm GFX facebook group, used already by several members like Jonas Rask, Chris Weiner and Sebastian Reinhardt.

You can open GFX files in Capture one with these simple three steps:

  1. Use Adobe DNG convert to batch convert RAF to DNG (no compression)
  2. Use something like Exif Editor to change camera name to “IQ250” (batch mode too)
  3. Open the files in C1, and you’re done!

This is NOT a captureOne Hack. But a RAF file hack.

(many thanks to Gary Tyson & Vladimir Kostka for their great support)

Below you see a screenshot of the settings that will allow you to use your GFX files with Capture One.

The GFX group is so active, I’m learning so many things about the camera. RAW files, Art Work, Tech Talk, Inspiration, Suggestions, Help… it’s all there, at our Fujifilm GFX community :)

Fujifilm GFX Technologies #3: Through the Glass of GF Lenses & More

Through the Glass of GF Lenses

Fujifilm published episode 3 of their GFX technologies series, and this time it’s about the Lenses (epsiode 1 – Sensor / episode 2 – G-mount). Some excerpts:

  • The reason why we are introducing the new GF Lenses with the new GFX camera system is that the image quality of digital medium format can truly shine if the lenses are optimized for the latest (and future) technologies.
  • G Mount incorporates mirrorless technology and high-pixel-count CMOS sensor so that an ideal lens design could be realized.
  • The G Mount sensor has resolving power of that 4×5 large format with the mere size of 43.8×32.9mm. Rather than cropping the center of large format lenses, better images are delivered by optimal lens design for the image circle.
  • We put much higher cost and labor for GF Lenses than for that of a typical lens.
  • The GF Lenses can cope with a resolution up to 100MP. It means that the lens has a resolving power an image circle that is 4x larger than that of an APS lens. The MTF chart of GF Lenses comes with 40 lines per mm, which is higher frequency than 35mm format lenses, exactly our vision and goal for GF Lens performance.

HSS

Shared by GFX facebook member Robert here:

“Great news! GFX High Speed Sync with Strobes

I’ve conducted successful HSS tests on the GFX. I’m beta testing the triggers that made this possible and the company has asked me not to disclose the model, which is why they are obscured in gaffer tape.

Behind the lamp is mid-day sun, HSS allowed the background and foreground to be properly exposed. Video features 1/2500th and 1/4000th shutter speeds but I’ve tested all speeds over the GFX’s native 1/125.

Flash power on the Broncolor Siros S 800 was set to 4.2 and strobe was in HS mode. (Flash was active in second half of video but Beep sound was turned off.)

Lens was Fuji 63mm wide open at 2.8.

Rarely the flash didn’t fire but it’s still beta. Every time it did fire exposure and timing was perfect, no banding, no color temperature shifts.”

Shutter Lag (corrected)

I didn’t share the previous video, because it was evident that the shutter lag of the GFX couldn’t be so bad. I didn’t want to create useless alarms. But I’m happy to see that J I M I Z E L L  now shared an updated video with the accurate demostration of the shutter lag. So no panic, it’s a lot faster than the previous one ;) Check it out here.
