    Thank you for giving clear, direct, straight information without this nerving, loud and childish self-presentation so many youtubers do nowadays! Your videos are pragmatic, helpful, and informative, and very nice to watch. Thank you 1.000 times!

    Maarten, your videos are best on any topic that I've ever seen, always very clear and interesting. I have the original GFX 50S and I'm gonna try a lot of the stuff you mentioned here. Thank you very much.

    maarten, i love your mini section about the aspect ratio, and i encourage you to do a more in depth video about it
    as a mainly SOOC shooter, aspect ratio is very important to me, so much so that i have set one of my Fn buttons as an aspect ratio instant switch so i can use a deliberate direct-framing technique, but can also switch to the biggest one (for post-process crop) with just a couple of clicks if needed
    more power to you!

    I often look at your videos and admire the continual continuity of consistency, what it says on the tin, is what it will do, however on this one and from the initial introduction, referencing that whilst using the specific camera, for the reasons stated, most menus on most modern cameras follow a similar pattern or route to setting these, I will add that I was drawn to this as I was expecting a possible guide through the, in this case, Fuji approach and although accept that it is down to individual choice, due to the many aspects of different desires, I thought this was going to be a suggested guide, that could be changed to suit the individual, but it would give a general look at what would give a pleasing image by implementing the vast array of choices.
    Instead you gave much time to specific areas and the history or back story into why certain choices are used, specifically the size of image and although illuminating perhaps other aspect could have been included.
    I hope you realise that this is both a good and bad review as your all though your knowledge that you pass on with these videos is really appreciated, it left a void in my expectancy, after seeing the title and the introduction.
    I know your a person that accepts we are all different and that there isn’t only one way or one setting that is right or wrong, like a child who has no idea of the vast choices it will be presented with in the course of its formative years, experienced guidance with consistent trust in the individual giving that information, will hopefully lead to a rounded individual that in time will develop its own choices.

    According to my experience with my XS-10, the Dynamic Range setting helps prevent overexposed highlights without changing the shadows, while the D-Range Priority brightens the shadows without affecting highlights. Anyway, I really enjoy your videos!

    • @MaartenHeilbron
      @MaartenHeilbron  Před 2 lety +1

      Good observation. I find that DR is beneficial only under very specific circumstances, and while the DRP is more obvious, sometimes (like HDR) it’s too obvious.

    Unfortunately I found it very confusing from the start, but then again I am a novice. I imagine it would be very useful for me if it talked through the setup from start to finish.

      @@MaartenHeilbron Dear Martin, I just remember a topic that I found important while taking raw over jpeg and that is the live view mode. When sets on it avoids the restrictions caused by the film sims and tend to give a wrong reading on the histogram while sets off. À difference quite visible editing on capture one. A topic I intend to comment on my channel in Turkey. Take care 😊

    I know you've tackled the subject before and I'll likely go back and scour the archive for that video but one of the technical points I stumble on is that fine understanding of Exposure Compensation. I spend 75%+ of my time in manual with auto ISO (frequently riding EC a lot in my wildlife applications) and most of the balance in full manual. As said, there are only three variables to manipulate on the camera and EC is not a fourth. I know that if I dial in negative EC the camera will give me a bit more ISO to play with. However, if you define an upper ISO limit in your settings, and are bumping against it when selecting positive EC, does the camera then just underexpose the image? Thank you.

    • @MaartenHeilbron
      @MaartenHeilbron  Před 2 lety

      Each camera is different, so you'll have to test and see how it reacts when it goes out of range. On some models, the EV adjustment is limited.
