Are you a teacher? Or were before YT? I am a photographer for 8 years, I watch like dozen of YT channels in French or English, you are definitely the best one to explain any basic or complicated things to the audience.
He is. I work professionally creating content for Coursera, edX and Udemy, he is a natural.
Really is the best at explaining things. He could be a really good high school teacher.
+1 on this
Chris, no one else is doing this type of testing. So helpful and useful - thank you!
I must say as a Fuji owner I enjoy how you get into all the quirks of the camera, specially the non obvious stuff
The amount of work that goes into your videos is incredible. The insight appreciated.
Always, always excellent tips vs investigations! The best Fujifilm channel out there!!!
I follow you for over 1 year and half and I LOVE you each time I watch a new video… not kidding! you’re the most fun and with rich information to watch!!!! keep up 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Thank you, Chris for leaving no stone unturned. Always great work!
I shoot Lossless compressed for everything. Another very well informed post.
Just the video I was waiting for. Great work! 👍🏼
You are a rock star. This was super helpful. I’m shooting lossless uncompressed, but I’m switching to lossless compressed immediately. No need for those 57 meg shots.
Your videos are absolutely stellar! Sure I learn from many Fuji vids and tutorials on CZcams, but yours are always where I learn the most information in the shortest amount of time, and walking away actually knowing something that sticks in my brain. Thank you for your efforts and attention to detail. You really know how to relate essential information without useless fillers. I wish more CZcamsrs delivered information the way you do. Keep on Rockin (in a free world?)!
Excellent video! I've just purchased an gfx100s and so file management has become more important than ever. This was super helpful, thank you so much for the content as always!
I needed this so much, thank you for not rushing it and doing it properly instead ;) you the real MVP sir
You are so thorough. Thank you for doing all the tests most of us can’t even come up with. Very helpful indeed
Another fantastic video. When reading the title, I didn't think this would be applicable to me, but as usual, I end up learning a lot from your content. Thank you!
Many people don't realise how important this subject is. Thank you really much for this video.
Great info and so well explained as always! Thank you Chris.
Another great post from the most entertaining and informative guy on CZcams. I’ve no idea where you find the time for such detailed, thorough analyses, but thank you for doing so. Saves me the effort and time. Just switched my x-h1 to lossless and will see how it goes.
Can I ask how it's going, two years later?
Very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to do this .
Please note that in my version of Apple Photos on MacOs: Apple Photos can read uncompressed RAF, but not the compressed (lossless) ones.
Thank you, thank you! You do the research well and you pick great topics. Keep it up.
Changed my setting from uncompressed to lossless immediately. I lost count of the settings I changed because of your advice. Thanks so much!
Man, that was a really interesting video. Thanks for the info.
Fantastic video, sir. Especially with how different software treats the files.
Very, very helpful and incredibly interesting. Thank you.
You are consistently the most thorough CZcams photographer. I am delighted when I have a question and a google search brings me to a video you made. It almost always is answered thoroughly.
Thank you so much Jamie!! 🙏🙏
As always ... fantastic video !! Thanks so much
Thank you so much, this was exactly what i needed to know! 👍
Another very clear explanation with good examples. Thank you.
Love the depth Chris...U make understanding Fuji cams worth understanding 😁👌
Great to hear! Thank you so much Ben!!!!! 👍
the only difference i've seen between lossless compressed and uncompressed in fujifilm files is that uncompressed files have a jpeg built in so that there is a preview on Mac computers even if the camera is unsupported by Mac firmware (lke the XT3).
You've covered so many important questions I've had.. thank you for your efforts, sir.
Great enthusiasm and interesting facts! Thank you so much!
Thank you for a very clear and understandable presentation
Gracias Cris! Por hacer ameno este tema tan técnico 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Very thorough, very helpful! Thanks!
Great video! Keep up the good work
Super clear as always! Thanks
WOW... Thank you for all the work on testing... very helpful
No problem!! Cheers!!
The other week I was wondering why Fujifilm X-T2 files are so much bigger than Nikon D750 files, and someone on Reddit explained that Nikon uses lossless compression. It made me look for an option to turn that on in my Fuji and I’m so glad I found it. I wish I had been shooting with lossless compression since I got my X-T1 over 5 years ago. Would have saved so much hard drive space.
*Very informative and helpful. THANK YOU.*
Great work!
Excellent video! thank you!
I've seen dozens of your video, and just now I was realizing a thing: you gesticulate like and more than an Italian 😅
Thanks, you're the best on youtube.
Hahaha!!!
A great, informative video. Thank you.
Excellent analysis!
So thorough as usual 👍
Glad I found this channel. Thanks.
Nice demonstration, thanks
Great video as usual, so thank you once again. One thing you didn't mention in this video which I caught in another video of yours was that the Mac Finder cannot display Lossless Compressed RAW files. That's a pretty big deal for me as I like to be able to see what I have in Finder. Having seen this video before, I concluded the only way to view my RAW images in the Mac Finder was to include a jpeg. Turns out, as long as I use Uncompressed RAW, I can view those files easily in Finder without the need for the jpeg. Looking forward to your return. Enjoy your break!
Really helpful. Thanks!
Firstly, I need to say that thank you for these kind of videos of yours to make people got informed; I saw your videos just a while ago and writing my first comment here.
I actually was wondering what's the difference between that three options, in my previous one x-t20 (there were two though in that device) and currently my new x-e4. Indeed, i watched a video about it a couple of years ago but it wasn't as this detailed, honestly. So, your video is definitely clear to understand and really helpful. Did I thank you before? :) Stay safe!
Oh, Chris, again such a very great video. I never used any other than lossless compressed in Nikon and Fuji, but I enjoyed your lesson so much again. Another look? No glasses and another haircut! Looks a littler strange at first minutes. Happy weekend. Uwe
Nice Hair Cut :) - Keep up your great work
Thx for testing this! And I keep shooting in uncompressed raw, just like you said: storage is cheap. AND thx also for testing the life span of your mechanical shutter 🙃🤪
I missed that shutter comment in this one. What episode was that?
Loved it! Please do a video on the mystery of the worms in Lightroom!
Excellent analysis!!!
Thank you kindly!
Thank you very much....very lucid.
Thanks. Great video ! Very usefull
Answers a lot of questions!
thank you Chris !!
👍👍👍 Very valuable video. Thanks a lot.
Very interesting!! I always use 'lossless compressed' but didn't know the real difference. Thanks a lot Chris!
Hey Juan!!!! Great so see ya here buddy!!! I hope you are doing ok. Cheers to you and your family!!!! 👍
@@pal2tech Thank you Chris!! Cheers to you and your family too!!!
Thank God somebody did a video on this. Love m kerala 💕
Subscribing him is like attending school. Love your videos man.
Excellent video !! I always take my photos uncompressed, because I rarely fill my Sd card before having transferred my images to my computer. I must admit when I saw your video, I thought it was in 8k, well no, it was only an optical illusion after your beautiful haircut :-).
Thank you very much for these very good explanations.
How about a video explaining Fujifilm film simulations, surely that would be much appreciated
Thank you so much! I’ve learned a lot. I have a few questions. I definitely like the idea of shooting compressed lossless for the space savings but I use a Mac and IOS For photo editing raw photos and they won’t open up the compressed files with the software I use. I wouldn’t mind using a workaround if there was a way to convert Raws from compressed to uncompressed and vice versa as an alternative. What would you suggest? Any thoughts? Because I love the idea of raw editing using affinity photo and pixelmator on my iPad for some quick edits to come close to how I would edit on say capture one. It’s not the same but it allows me to start my photos remotely before a get to a computer.
Very clear, i switched to lossless compressed on my X100-V ;)
thanks for the effort and the sharing. i use an older X-T1 and there isn't even a compression choice! all good.
This guy is enjoyable to watch, now if you don't have the time just do this when shooting raw: Select lossless compressed.
Thank you for all the samples provided. From what I understand the compressed RAWs can be less compatible with older software? - but the simple 50% space saving is a pretty convincing factor.
Great video
BRILLIANT - now breathe in !!!!
Great video again. One piece of additional information, for X-S10 users: lossy compressed files are still not recognized by ON1 RAW (Windows) including in the latest version released yesterday. Not sure about Mac versions and X-T4.
Great video. Every question I had - you covered. I tip my cap to you good sir.
One difference between compressed and uncompressed is both iOS and MacOS doesn’t support displaying Compressed RAF files, and PhotoMechanic can’t write to them either if you’ve set it up to write to Raw, it writes to XMP sidecar files instead. Fortunately Exiftool does.
That was so helpful...will have to watch it again (dogs and family at suppertime can be distracting...grin) Raw compressed lossless sounds interesrting...🤔
So far have been leaving the XT4 and the X100v on jpeg + raw uncompressed, but thinking of changing the X100V to just jpeg...maybe...go back and forth on that)
great videos!!!
Outstanding video! Big brother you should be sponsored by Fujifilm! 🎖🎖🎖🎖
Very useful! Nice tests have you done! I also had this question with brand new camera some time ago and also I have the same option checked, loseless compression. I'm not gonna change it, but I wonder if there is some battery impact because the compression process in each raw or not at all...
I don't think there would be much impact on battery. Probably not even as much as turning down the screen brightness a bit. I wouldn't worry too much about that.
One major downside with compressed files. There's no preview available when using Mac OS. And I prefer to sort out the images before importing all of them to Capture One.
That's why you should shoot both jpeg and raw.
This is the only thing preventing me from using compressed raw on Mac.
@@sclogse1 But how to be sure when I edit in any software, the raw is being used and not the jpg?
Excellent video! These nuances are very important but probably will never affect us too much lol but good to know
Your video are always so interesting! So if I understand well the % difference of the size of a picture taken uncompressed versus lossless compressed will depend of the picture? If I take a picture of uniform color scene, the % of the difference between uncompressed versus lossless compressed will be more important that if it is a scene that contain lots of different colors?
R.I.P Michael Collins .. :( another amazing video thank you by the way
Man oh man some deep deep research done here Chris ! I shoot raw uncompressed, don't know how or why I do that, but it seems I am on the right track. Storage doesn't really become much of an issue with the cost of storage these days. How do you find time to do this ? Completely understand now why you want to do this full time.
Thank you
One thing I considered was that if you use the Fuji only version of Capture One and you want to convert to DNG first using additional software you stuck because C1 for Fuji only won't edit DNG files.
Nice prez thanks - I wonder how DxO Pure Raw would perform especially compared to Iridient?
Does it make a difference converting any version of the raw files to DNG for editing? Is the same data available, such as when a file is under/over-exposed?
Think I will shoot Lossless compressed after this video. Thank you for the video
Great information
Thanks Arnie!!!
Great video Chris.
I think compressed raw has lower number of bits per pixel. That might be the reason for the low file size.
Have always used uncompressed raw and never had a issue, i like to keep my files small to improve workflow and storage. Have you done a video on DNG files and if you should use them for editing and strorage?
Hey, great video as always!
I was wondering if you could do a tutorial on best ways to print photos.
I'm thinking about a book style print that would be affordable and decent quality.
I used to process images myself and miss seeing my pictures on paper. I know there are good photo printers out there ...
Cheers!
This is a great idea for a video. And I know that Chris would do a thorough comparison.
at 6:45 you can clearly see that lossless compressed has much more details than Uncompressed(pre dng segment),you will also notice that after saving raws as dng's
Essential stuff for Fuji owners!
Can you make a video talking about the image quality difference between shooting single mode vs burst CL CH.
I’ve heard in order to get the most out of your camera you need to shoot in single mode 16bit raw, but when you shoot in burst mode the file converts or shrinks to only 14bit raw, shooting stills
Thank you
I guess the transfer/writing process depends also of the speed writing of th SD card, no ? If so, what was the speed writing of yor SD card ? Alos does the difference bewteen un.compressed is likely to affect the format and the cropped possibity of a printing photo, no ?
Thanks Chris. When will you review the new Fuji 18mm? BR
One day... I wish soon!!!!
