Photography

Digital cameras have changed photography. In the “good old days” you bought a film: either black and white, with an ASA (ASA begat DIN which begat ISO) of 125 or of 400 or a color film with a specific sensitivity with an ASA rating of 50 like the Fuji Velvia 50 or Kodachrome 64… And that was it.

Nowadays, in 2024, almost all raw processing software, from Lightroom to Darktable passing through Luminar and Capture One, support these three functions: texture clarity dehaze They kind of do similar things but they have different effects and different purposes.

The Fujifilm cameras numbering is: The folder: The folders are numbered and start at 100, then it’s 101, followed by 102… The frame number: Each folder can have up to 9999 images Reformatting or changing the SD memory card may not reset the frame numbers.

It’s all in the serial number. The manufactured date is embedded in the serial number. Where’s the serial number? That depends on which Fujfilm camera model.

For me, the most important for me is to have my photos in focus. My clients would not be happy if I delivered out of focus photos.

The other day, my Fujifilm X-H2s went dead. Almost nothing worked. I could turn the camera on and off and that’s it. No shutter button. No AF.

Fuji is not known for its flash system. The only reason I can use the Fujis for work is the Godox flash system that works very well with Fuji.

Both Godox and Nissin are coming with Fujifilm compatible flashes. But let’s agree that up to now, flash has not been a strong suit of Fujifilm X cameras.

This photographer is at the Reifel Bird Sanctuary and he uses a Canon 7D with Canon 500mmL /f4. It’s a great camera and an excellent lens but handheld?
