X-Trans and Video never were good friends.

Both, the X-TransI and X-TransII sensor had some serious issue with moiré in videos. However, already the X-Pro2 dramatically improved the Video Quality of Fuji Cameras.

But what about the 4K on the Fujifilm X-T2? Videographer Emmanuel Pampuri says:

Picture quality is amazing. […] It’s more cinematographic than the GH4 […] We don’t have the f-log on firmware right now, Fuji is still working on it. […] Picture quality is very sharp. There is no aliasing, no moiré… it’s beautiful. […] I can use it properly 100% for the Video […] Fuji is still developing the firmware. I get a new firmware every two days […] Battery life is not so good if you don’t use it with vertical grip […] It’s still a CMOS sensor, so there is still an issue with the rolling shutter.

Pre-Order Cactus Wireless Flash Transceiver V6 II … brings HSS to Fuji X System

Share

Cactus V6 II

The Cactus V6 II Wireless Flash Transceiver is now available for pre-order at BHphoto.

Able to support numerous brands and types of speedlights and flashes, the Cactus Wireless Flash Transceiver V6 II is a versatile and capable flash trigger that offers added functionality to make remote flash work easier. This model is able to support Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, Olympus, Panasonic, and Pentax flash systems with ease and uses 2.4 GHz radio communication to trigger other units from up to 328′ away. The main advantage of the V6 II is high-speed sync, of which two modes are offered. A normal setting uses a protocol depending on the camera system involved whereas the Power Sync can boost the flash for moments when Normal HSS is not powerful enough.

Fuji X-T2 F-log

Fuji X-T2 F-log

You know it: the Fuji X-T2 shoots 4K and there’s also an ‘F-Log’ flat profile.

The less known fact (almost never mentioned in first looks): the Fuji X-T2 can’t record f-log internally, but only through HDMI. This is confirmed by the Fuji Guys in the tweet you can see above.

But…

… there is hope for a Fuji-Kaizen udpate. When FR-reader Nerd Nomads asked the Fuji Guys if internal f-log recording can be intruduced via firmware update, they said “I’m sure it’s possible“.

Ok… the comments are open… and remember, Fuji reads us!
