Photography

The topic came up in a couple of threads and some of the reading I have done on various photo forums... specifically related to the Fuji X-series cameras.  So I thought I would do a test.

I did a number of comparisons in different light as well as interior & exterior... there was no difference in my testing when using the Fujifilm X100T.

using fully automatic "P" mode




using the same f-stop and shutter speed as "P" mode




metering the same scene

All were ISO 320, F2, at 1/60 second...

Given the specifics, I wish all tests were this conclusive ; )

thanks for the effort! Cheers, Filip

Have a good weekend Filip !!

I was actually expecting there to be a difference
and the Sekonic reading was a bit of a surprise... F 2.0 ⁰/₁₀

too to compare...just wondering

My flip phone has a camera but at the moment I have no way to down load the images...

No message body

No internet nor email on my phone. I like the space... have a coffee and read a book rather than... Voice and SMS in urgent cases... When working the staff knew that I didn't check email after hours... it's not the end of the world if I miss this or that ; )

Not sure why one would expect it to. Program mode and manual mode is the same as driving your car with cruise control set to 60 and manual driving 60.
In program mode the camera is making the decisions and in manual you are but the light meter is the same, just as in your car the speedometer is the same.

was all the chatter about the Fuji X-series (supposedly) exposing different from a hand held meter... and I wanted to confirm or debunk that web-factoid.  One would expect consistency, but there are always some variation...

With older (film) cameras the shutter speed is often off (particularly the slow speeds)... and even modern dSLRs have slightly different exposure priorities.  Canon is/was known to be slightly hot when auto measuring TTL flash.

But yes, it should be consistent...

it is like a calibration test.  

With the x100t I use in-camera JPGs so the camera is doing the post processing and it's interesting to see the choices made...  The Fuji developers know the strong points of the camera, have some idea of what makes a 'good photo', and might prioritize accordingly...

just looking into the details ; )
