The Fujifilm X Series Cameras are quite unique in their operation and look of the images they produce. Here are some tips I have picked up from my time with the Fujifilm X-Pro2. Most of the tips will apply to all of the X Series, but some may be more specific to the X-Pro2.

Setting Lightroom Defaults Specific to your Fuji Camera
Where the X cameras really shine and beat out the competition is in their colour rendition. It is mentioned in nearly every review you read and it was the primary reason I switched to Fuji. The different film profiles give you more options and creativity when shooting but you will notice that if you are shooting RAW, you lose those profiles once you import them into Lightroom.

This is because Lightroom is applying it’s own Camera Calibration/Colour Profile by default when you import your Fuji files and is disregarding all of that hard work that Fuji has put into their colour. There is no automatic way to retain the specific colour profile you chose when you were shooting, but you can set your default profile in Lightroom to Provia (or whatever profile you shoot most in) so that you are at least starting from one of Fuji’s bases and not Adobe’s.

To change this default setting in Lightroom:

It’s time to vote the best Fuji X highlight of 2016… and it was such a great year, that I think it will be a tough vote for many out there. But you just have 1 choice.

I also included the two major Kaizen Firmware Updates we got this year, the one for the X-Pro2 and the one of the X-E2.

The Fujifilm X-T2 is now in stock at AmazonUS (via official Fujifilm Seller OneCall). Only a limited number is available.

You can find a few X-T2 also at [shoplink 52162 ebay]ebay here[/shoplink].

AmazonUS also has the EF-X500 in stock.

Fujifilm has big plans apparently, since they just chose to launch a Photo Event in Kyoto with the important name “FujiKina 2017” (in reference to the biggest photography show in the world, the Photokina in Cologne).

Participants will also have the opportunity to Touch & Try the latest and greatest Fujifilm gear.

Of course it’s just a coincidence, that the event starts 2 days after this ;)

Here is the full (google translated) announcement:

Fujifilm Corporation (President: Kenji Ueno) will hold “FUJIKINA 2017 Kyoto” for two days on Saturday, January 21, 201 (Sunday), 2017.

At this event, we will exhibit photographs depicting the themes of “the world of the large format”, “the world of the center finder style”, and “the world of the range finder style” with three galleries scattered in the city of Kyoto. In addition, we have a touch & try that you can experience the latest models, talk shows and studio demonstrations by domestic and international famous photographers who love the X series, free rental service of X series and free quick maintenance service (reservation system) We are doing our favorite thing for pleasing everyone who has patrons.

In addition, if you pre-register for this event, you will receive a memorable item as a bonus.

I am waiting for your visit from the bottom of my heart.

It’s one of the most expected videos of the year by TCSTV… the Best and Worst Camera Gear of 2016. Some mentions go also to Fujifilm:

BEST CAMERA

• #3: The Fujifilm X-T2 makes it on the 3rd overall position: Huge improvement on Video and Autofocus. Very well thought out camera. The Fujifilm X-T2 is the only mirrorless camera mentioned in the top 3. Its big mirrorless competitors, like the Sony A6500, did not make it on the list. (min 11:00)
• #2: Pentax K1
• #1: Nikon D500

APS-C is well represented in this list ;)

BEST TRENDS

• Medium Format Digital Mirrorless. They love the concept. It’s cool to see a lot more people get access to it (min 7:30)
