Often I’ve been asked about TTL flash groups, why they are needed and how they work. Of course, you might ask yourself if this is something that applies to Fujifilm cameras – it does, and we will concentrate exactly on that. Flash groups are an extension beyond off-camera flash. Simply taking the flash off-camera usually improves the quality of the shot immensely. Enhanced vibrancy, depth, and wonderful shadows are a few benefits. But sometimes it would be nice to add light in more places and direct it where you want, maybe even with some color. For example, I may want to illuminate the background to resemble a cool green jungle and illuminate the subject with a more warm light. When we do that, things get a little more complex. For one thing, you need a flash trigger with multiple receivers. But, more importantly how do you balance the light and exposure? After all when you shot TTL the camera sets the exposure – blindly. The answer, of course, is flash groups. With flash groups you can add as many speedlights as you wish, assign them to one of several groups, and set the group exposure and even flash head zoom independently.
Foreground – two groups on speedlight each, one using yellow gel. Background one group with green gel on two speedlights.
In the above example I may place a couple speedlights with green gels to illuminate the background and a couple on the subject to provide warmth and depth, maybe from different angles. In this case, if I apply the background to one group and each subject light to their own group, I can control the lighting as I please. And because we use TTL, the overall result will be exposed correctly – always. But, what if I want to decrease the background? Simple, just reduce the background group’s exposure. Since it is still TTL, the camera will compensate and maintain a good exposure, but with the background a little lower.
Which RAW converter is the best for X-Trans Files? Well, this is a questions that needs to be investigated continuously, since every update can introduce improvements or new features. There will never be a final answer, but what is the state of art?
Adrian Evans (aka Stealthy Ninja – Interview here) wrote a comprehensive XF23mmF2 WR Review investigated this question and compared the following RAW converters: Lightroom CC 2015.6 Vs. Photo Ninja 64 1.3.4 Vs. Iridient Developer 3.1 Vs. RAW Therapee 4.2.1148 Vs. Capture One Pro 9.2 Vs. Silkypix Developer Studio Pro 7.0.6.0 VS. Jpeg from the camera
I invite you to go through the test (with lots of comparison samples) here at aevansphoto.
Here on FujiRumors I’ll just share Adrian’s final raking:
It’s a question that pops up very often these days in the comments: when will the Fujifilm X100T Successor come?
Believe me, it’s a very tricky question, because Fujifilm changes plans so often… especially after the Kumamoto earthquake (NOTE: the Sony Factory in Kumamoto produces Fuji X-Trans sensors & sensors also for many other companies).
So, whatever I say, at this stage, take it with a grain of salt. But right now it seems that the Fujifilm X100T successor will be release in 2017 only.
– – – End of the Rumor – – –
Fujifilm, so my very personal guess, has to deal with a shortage of X-Trans III sensors coming from Sony. So they decided to first focus on the Fujifilm X-T2 and use all the sensors available for the X-T2. Once everything goes back to normal and there will be enough X-TransIII sensors again, then Fujifilm can also release the X100T successor. And this will, accroding to the rumor, very likely happen only in 2017.
And upon request from readers, here is a Poll regarding the X100T successor: should it be able to shoot 4K, is Full HD enough, or should it have no Video at all?
