Since I didn't have an appropriate filter for sun shots . . I decided to capture a different perspective of the eclipse. If you were in a partial eclipse area like I am (90% here) it may have seemed to the naked eye that the light dimming effect was noticeable but very minimal . . that's what I...
I'd like to find a 40-55mm step up ring for my X30 . . that would allow me to use a Cokin square filter adaptor that I've had for a long time. Anyone know if a 40-55mm step up ring even exists and if so where I could find it? I've
I tried a few AE bracketed EV 0/-1/+1 images with the X30, and combined them using HDR Efex Pro2 as one way to deal with high contrast scenes that I often encounter on our hikes. What do you think? Shown below are the 0EV reference image and the HDR version.
Using an X30 . . other than shooting RAW . . is there a benefit, or does anyone have a preference, to shooting any particular color simulation mode (e.g. Velvia, Classic Chrome, etc.) if planning to do B&W conversions as an option in post processing? I would think that the different contrast and...
Using S mode at 100 ISO . . when dialing shutter speed down . . the coresponding aperature continues to move as high as f9 but won't go any higher and turns red at that point . . and images taken at shutter speeds lower than that are of course overexposed due to an aperature that has remained at...
I have an old Sandisk 1GB card that works just fine in my X30 . . but want to pick up a couple of new 8GB SDHC Class 10 or better cards to use with the X30. It seems 8GB cards are becoming scarce so alternately a 16GB card might be appropriate. I searched and didn't find anything so a quick...
An odd question I'm sure, and some will likely say 'who cares', but the EXR features were much hyped on the X10 and I'm not sure if the SN/DR/HR modes still operational in some way on the X30?
i.e. does SN = Advanced night scene mode, DR = the dynamic range settings, HR = F image size with...
I usually just shoot JPEG but thought I'd try RAW on my new X30. Camera settings are basically still at new camera default (except for the Fine+RAW setting). I tried one indoor, and then one outdoor where there was plenty of light . . same result for both.
First thing . . I selected Fine+RAW...
1. Dynamic range can be set to auto, 100, 200, or 400. Can someone help me understand (with a simple example) when and why I would use this variable setting? I've never had a camera with this variable setting.
2. Tone settings: for Shadows does a + setting make the shadows lighter or darker . ...
Hi folks . . and new Fuji user after a few decades with Canon kit. Love my new X30 and would like a little longer image review time after each shot. I've read the manual and can't see a way to set a 3 or 4 second review time . . it seems to max out at 1.5 sec. How can I do this or is 1.5 sec the...
