Just recently we published the first part of the of a long interview with Fujifilm managers about Fujfiilm color science and film simulations. You can find it here.
Now the second part has been published in Japanese by the website dc.watch.
Down below a summary in English (taken from google translate).
Here is a roundup dedicated to third party manual focus lenses for the Fujifilm X system.
You’ll find a wide coverage on various lenses. Damien is surely one of the most active youtubers covering third party glass, but there is also Jonas Rask with a review about the new 7Artisans 35mmF/0.95 and other lenses.
New feature of Fringer NF-FX adapter: LaCA correction
Fringer NF-FX (Nikon F mount to Fujifilm X mount) smart adapter will be released soon. Today we’d like to introduce an interesting feature of the adapter, i.e. LaCA correction.
LaCA, stands for lateral chromatic aberration, is resulting from a difference of image scale at different wavelength of red, green and blue light. LaCA causes colored fringes at high contrast edges of the image.
When we shoot RAW, LaCA can be easily removed by post processing. However, a key feature of Fujifilm cameras is their film simulation. In other words, we usually use the jpeg files directly out of the camera with few post processing. When using native X mount lenses, there is no problem since Fujifilm cameras will correct all the LaCA automatically. But when using adapted lenses, LaCA become a problem.
Fringer NF-FX has a built-in LaCA correction profile data base for all the lenses that have been tested and optimized (see this list). When shooting jpegs, the adapter will provide the LaCA correction profile of current lens to the camera automatically. The latter will use that profile to correct LaCA when generating jpeg pictures. Finally, user get a jpeg photo directly out of the camera which is LaCA free.
The Fuji Guys published a short video, where they talk about the Fujifilm camera remote App.
They say this video is for those, who download the App for the first time or if you are having any troubles with the App itself.
The issues can happen for example if you updated your smartphone.
In this case, the Fuji Guys recommend to delete the App as well as to delete the pairing registration in your camera menu connection settings.
Then download the Fujifilm Camera Remote App again and pair camera and smartphone again.
When you try to transfer images on your phone, the camera might ask you to start up the Fujifilm camera remote App. If the camera does not connect to the smartphone, click “Change – OK” on the camera.
Why this? Francis says:
because if you use the camera on your iPad and on your iPhone, you need to change the registration for which device is going to be using
Done that, click on “join name of your camera wifi network” and wait for the camera and phone to connect.
In my experience this works sometimes to get things going, but not always. Sometimes I can try whatever I want, and it does not connect. Usually I fix it by getting a beer, waiting a while, and try again. Sometimes that works!
Anyway, thanks Fujifilm, we appreciate the effort in explaining the issue. But do you want to do really something cool? Well, then check out the Panasonic camera remote App and copy that one 1:1.
Lots of things make me happy in the Fuji world… the App is not one of them.
