Fujifilm exposure flexibility using ISO invariance. Understanding what is ISO invariance and why would you use it to improve exposure in your RAW files. REMEMBER: Everything mentioned in this video pertains to shooting in RAW format. For JPEG shooting, the post-production adjustments are not as applicable since you have less image data to work with.

Great video Chris. After your video on DR I've been shooting mostly at DR200. When bracketing ISO for landscapes, 320 seemed to give the best result, rather than lower or higher once I had corrected all three to the same exposure stops. Might be something to explore there around getting the right balance of noise, dynamic range and sharpness!

This is a really powerful video. I have always under exposed by about 1/3 stop to save my highlights and then brought up the exposure later. I've always kind of felt like a fraud when I do that and wondered if it was a superficial effort. Thanks for showing us the ins and outs of this!

@mikafoxx2717 8 ай бұрын

Even better, for cinema cameras, changing the ISO on those don't even change the ISO, it's just changing the exposure compensation and changing the brightness for the screen in post. ISO for cinema cameras only change how many stops above or below grey you get, higher iso means more highlights and low iso means more shadows. Cameras generally don't do this even if they could. Shoot at base iso and use exposure compensation for iso invariant cameras for cinema style exposing. Make sure it's invariant before you do this or you're in for a bad time. Sony cameras and some others have two base ISOs, use only those and compensate. Use a software that uses 32 but floats like RawTherapee to avoid color casts with heavy adjustment in post from bad math, like Lightroom (possibly still) does.

As far as my professor of camera technology told me, ISO is not the amplification of the sensor voltage. ISO just shifts the importance of the dynamic range window every sensor has. If you shoot a photo with ISO 100 1/100s f 4.0 and one with ISO 400 f 4.0 1/100s and you raise the exposure of the first photo in post by two stops, you would get the same image (considering shots are uncompressed raws) Video Gain however IS the voltage applied to the sensor (0,7 V at 0 dB) so plus 6 dB equals one stop brighter. The result is way more noise than high ISO

Love the channel and specially your tips. Can u please make a video for astro settings for fuji cameras as I'm using fuji xe4 and while taking tracked long exposures of 60 secs & even with 200 iso whole image goes blown up with light. Thanks!!

@NBPT428 2 жыл бұрын

Great video. I have an X-T3 and I am definitely going to apply this tip going forward. Just curious, would you compromise this process by using the exposure compensation dial for part of the exposure differential? Thanks so much!!

@izobrr 2 жыл бұрын

X-T4 has two native ISO: 160 and 640 that means if you shoot at ISO 640 or more it applies 4x electrical amplification first (actually it might be the signal is not amplified, but divided for ISO below 640, I don't know). But long story short, your comparison with ISO 200 was incorrect. The sensor got 4 times less signal, so SNR was worse and you actually saw more noise at ISO 200 raised 5 stops. If you shoot ISO 800 and raised 2 stops, then there will be trully the identical level of noise. Cameras which are not ISO invariant, there is not one amplification degree, but a different degree for every ISO value. That was necessary when bitness of the sensor was not able to cover multiple stops. 14 bit sensor means you have 6 bits equal to 6 stops of ajustment when you export 8 bit color depth.

@rikutalvio 2 жыл бұрын

X-T3 and X-T2 switch at 800, but I have not seen any read noise measurements with the X-T4. Can you point me to data showing it's 640? But yeah, this test at 200 is just wrong.

Thanks for interesting video. A question is if there is a point in always underexpose say 2 stops? Other than if you can expose at base iso and correct exposure of course. You wouldn't blow out any highlights that way.

@mrenovatio3739 2 жыл бұрын

Does the X-T4 have the waxy skin tone effect when using high ISO in camera? I know it was an issue with the X-T1 and similar old Fuji cameras. Using low ISO in camera and raising in post (even using the in-camera push processing after taking the photo) had much better results in those cameras.

@normanskistreet 2 жыл бұрын

How would selectively brightening in post compare to bracketing and then merging say 3 shots? Just wondering if ISO invariance kinda makes bracketing obsolete. Also could it be useful for street photography? I'm thinking low light but needing 1/500s you could keep ISO lower and selectively brighten areas of scene that fit the narrative you are trying to convey. Many add a vignette in post but if you under-expose you effectively start out with a vignette already in place.

@barrymayes6712 2 жыл бұрын

Great video-thanks! I love Fuji JPEG’s but of course Fuji processes them really well in-camera. I dislike editing Fuji raw-awful. What’s your advice about underexposing Fuji JPEG’s?

@SquirrelHybrid 2 жыл бұрын

Does ISO invariance work both ways to recover highlights and reduce perceived noise? So if 3,200 can match 12,800 by raising 2 stops in post, can 12,800 also match 3,200 by lowering 2 stops?

@RCWolfFPV 2 жыл бұрын

This is pretty much why I have 2 ISO settings.. 640 and 2000 ALWAYS ( at least in Flog Video) I know its not exactly the same as its not raw, but I find it almost equally clean . I never touch ISO since I post process every shot/ image.

@vishal_trivedi 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks Chris(tine) 😂👍🏽 Say you wouldn’t happen to know what the best bang for buck ISO setting would be for shooting low light video? I recall the XT3 & XT4 are dual gain sensors, so 800 is better value then 640, 2000 is better than 1600 ? Something like that. And then I heard this is only for FLOG? Huh? Is that true? Any idea?

Fun fact: ISO on digital cameras don’t actually alter the exposure, as digital ISO is purely a post-capture signal gain; some cameras boost the analog signal off the sensor, some the digital signal after the analog-to-digital converter. None increase exposure, as you are not altering the light sensitivity of the sensor. What *does* alter exposure is amount of light; ie moving from the shadow to the direct sun, shooting on a sunny day vs overcast, or using a flash or continuous light, and the distance of the light from the subject. Hence all “exposure” triangles are wrong.

While ISO invariance is good it’s always better to shoot for the shadows at high iso. Lifting shadows is where it falls apart and like cleaner if you had just used a higher iso
