“Can ETERNA be Used for Still Photos?” Fujifilm X-H1 Development Story #5

Share

Fujifilm has just published the fifth episode of its Fujifilm X-H1 development Story, and this time it’s again about the new ETERNA film simulation.

But while in part 4 time they described the characteristics of ETERNA, this time they investigate one questions: “Can ETERNA be used for still photos?”

“Can it be used for still photos?” We asked the image designing team who created ETERNA mode.

“It’s possible. It can work really well in some cases.” […]. We need to take ideology and the characteristics of ETERNA into account for a good result.

[…] The wide dynamic range and soft tonality will depict the subtle nuances of shadows created in the environment under controlled lights. It will also keep the subject from being oversaturated.

People often use Velvia for landscape photography, but it can be excessive if the subject”s saturation is high. Velvia is good when you need to enhance the saturation, but when the saturation is high enough, try ETERNA or Pro Neg. STD instead.

Another idea is to treat ETERNA in the same way as you would when you shoot cinema, to complement other elements of communication. In editorial, for example, the photographs are combined with texts to deliver a message. ETERNA is a good one to use in editorial as it would complement the text. The images with soft tonality and low saturation allow readers engage into the story seamlessly.

The soft tonality of ETERNA also looks great on matte paper. So when the editorial is printed on a matte paper, then it creates a further enhanced experience for the readers. When you think of the communication in a big picture, ETERNA has its use for sure.

Sony A7R3 vs Fujifilm X-H1: Comparing IBIS, 120fps Slow Motion, Log, Bitrates. The Conclusion is “Shocking!”

Share

Sony A7RIII Vs. Fujifilm X-H1

Pro Shooters had about one hour time to test the Fujifilm X-H1.

One hour is not that much time, but enough to quickly compare some Fujifilm X-H1 features to the Sony A7RIII. They look at IBIS, 120p slow motion, 4K 200mbps, Slog2 vs Flog, and do a codec stress test.

When it comes to IBIS, the Fujifilm X-H1 is far superior. I am actually quite shocked how bad the one on the Sony A7rIII looks like in the video. I mean, if this test is correct and the IBIS on the Sony was not broken, then the Sony A7rIII IBIS looks good on the specs sheet, but not really in real life use.

Also the codec stress test shows that the 200 Mbps of the X-H1 make quite a difference over the 100 Mbps of the A7rIII. Much cleaner image on the X-H1.

They conclude their quick comparison with just one word: “Shocking”

Priolite Adds Radio Trigger Support for Fujifilm and Elinchrom “Working on Fujifilm Support”

Share

Priolite Fujifilm Support

On Friday, the European studio strobe lighting company Priolite announced on their instagram here, that it is introducing a version of its RC-HS-F radio trigger for Fujifilm X-Pro2, X-T2 und GFX 50S cameras that will allow syncs at up to 1/8,000 of a second.

Priolite has just a small market share, but there are Fujifilm X shooter using their products, and who lookf forward to Priolite support, such as the FR-reader, who informed me about this news.

Elinchrom

Godox, Profoto, Nissin, Broncolor, Metz, Cactus, Priolite, Jinbei/Orlit, Conomark and more companies have already added Fujifilm support.

Anyone missing?

Oh right, Elinchrom! They don’t seem to be in a hurry to support Fujifilm.

As we reported here, Elinchrom should add Fujifilm support in 2018 according to a press release they made with Rotolight. But so far nothing has happened.

So I did search on their facebook page, and I have found the following Elinchrom statement, made last week: “We are working on it“.

Sooner or later….

Fujifilm X-H1 Vs. Sony A6300 Vs. X-T2 Video Autofocus :: What does the X-H1 bring over X-T2? :: Shutter Sound X-H1 Vs. X-T2

Share

Fujifilm X-H1 Vs. Sony A6300 Vs. Fuji X-T2

The video above, shared by Erkan Özgür Yılmaz on youtube here, shows the Fujifilm X-H1 with XF16-55mmF2.8 video autofocus compared to the Sony A6300 with 16-50 and the Fuji X-T2 with XF18-55.

At the moment I would be very careful with any comparison that is out on the web, since the test for sure uses still a pre-production firmware, and we don’t know if it’s the latest one. Also, we don’t know which AF tracking settings were used on those cameras.

So watch the video, feel free to comment here on FujiRumors, and keep in mind that what you see is pre-production firmware. In fact it seems strange to me that the X-T2 with the same settings and a slower focusing lens (the XF18-55) is more successful than the X-H1 with a faster focusing lens (the XF16-55).

Fujifilm X-H1 versus X-T2

DPReview wonders, what does the new X-H1 bring over the X-T2?

I know that there are tons of articles like these on the web, so I will point out only, what so far has almost passed unnoticed, and that DPReview makes well to highlight, and some important confirmations, like the improved AF.

“Less obvious improvements, but equally significant to serious videographers include a video-specific shutter speed of 1/48sec, which will give a 360, 180 and 90 degree shutter angle for 24, 30 and 60p footage.

phase-detection autofocus system has been seriously upgraded […] Quite how Fujifilm has managed this without upgrading the X-H1’s processor (which is the same as the one used in the X-T2) is a mystery to us, but it’s impressive.

The X-H1’s eye sensor can react in as little as 0.15sec, when your eye is raised to the finder (compared to the X-T2’s 0.4sec).

Fujifilm has been putting ‘DR’ dynamic range expansion settings in its mirrorless and compact cameras for years, but the X-H1 expands on this (no pun intended) with a ‘Dynamic Range Priority’ mode. This has two settings: weak and strong, which use the camera’s existing DR modes in combination with flattening of the highlight and shadow ends of the tone curve. This gives a flatter, wider DR version of DR200 and DR400% modes, respectively. There’s also an ‘Auto’ setting that selects which level to apply.“

X-H1 Vs. X-T2 Shutter Sound

Last but not least, listen in the video below, how the shutter sound of the X-H1 compares to the one of the X-T2. Video shared by Bjorn Moerman on youtube here.
