Fujifilm X100 settings & notes
Some facts about the camera which are easy to forget as well some notes to self.
ISO
- The hardware is only capable of maximum ISO 1600. Any higher ISO value is pushed with software in camera.
- Auto-ISO can be set to a minimum of 400 and a maximum of 3200.
- When shooting RAW (with Auto-ISO turned off), ISO can be set to a minimum of 200 and a maximum of 6400.
- When shooting in JPG mode (with Auto-ISO turned off), ISO can be set to a minimum of 100 and a maximum of 12800.
Dynamic range (tone mapping)
- DR100 is the default setting for the camera.
- DR200 (changes minimum ISO to 400) will stop down the RAW 1 stop.
- DR400 (changes minimum ISO to 800) will stop down the RAW 2 stops.
- RAW files with DR200 or DR400 will appear darker in post production as they are stopped down, and there is currently no way for e.g. Lightroom to interpret this feature in order to compensate (the way the JPG engine does).
- Dynamic range is really only good if you use the camera’s JPG engine. If you shoot RAW, you should set this to DR100 and tweak exposure in post production.
- If you want to maximize dynamic range and shoot RAW: manually underexpose and bring it up in Lightroom using Brightness and Fill Light.
