Fujiguys: Fujifilm External Microphone Recommendations

The Fujiguys released a video with tips and recommendations about how to capture high-quality audio with your Fujifilm camera. Below is a summary of the above video recommendations:

  • Options
    • Shotgun Mics
      • Best for when you’re close to the camera and is a good option as an all-around microphone because they are directional
      • If you can only get one get a shotgun mic like the Rode Video Mic Pro
    • Lavalier Mics
    • Settings
      • For Lavalier Mics you need to go under Audio settings, external mic levels should be sent manually to -12db
      • For Shotgun mics like the Rode Video Mic Pro he jus has the mic plugged in and is setting the sound on the mic
      • With the Rode Wireless Go you set it to -12db and on the wireless go set the audio to medium
    • Mixers
      • You can use a mixer like the Saramonic in the video to record two separate channels of audio or a mono track with multiple inputs

Future Firmware 1.10: Fringer NF-FX AF-C Nikon AF-S 500/4G VR on Fujifilm X-S10 Tested

Fringer NF-FX AF-C tracking test: Nikon AF-S 500/4G VR on Fujifilm X-S10
Fringer just tested and optimized the Nikon AF-S 500/4G VR. It works very well on Fujifilm X-Trans IV cameras. Fringer also optimized the AF-S 600/4G VR. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work as well as the 500/4G on X mount due to the power supply limitation.

The next firmware release, i.e. v1.10, will include supports for these lenses as well as some of the other big primes.

It seems Fringer is really pushing the limits of what glass can be driven with the Fringer NF-FX since the Nikon AF-S 500/4G VR works fine while the Nikon AF-S 600/4G VR works sporadically due to power supply limitations. I wonder if a bigger camera like the X-T4 can drive the Nikon AF-S 600/4G VR more reliably.

Sirui 24mm f/2.8 1.33x Anamorphic Lens



The Sirui 24mm f/2.8 1.33x anamorphic APS-C lens is now available on Indiegogo for Micro Four Thirds, Sony E, Canon EF-M, Fuji X, and Nikon Z mounts. Here are the technical specifications:

SIRUI Launch 24mm F2.8 1.33x Anamorphic Lens in Micro Four Thirds, Sony E, Canon EF-M, Nikon Z and Fujifilm X Mounts
SIRUI has today introduced a groundbreaking new 24mm F2.8 1.33x lens that redefines what is possible from a wide-angle anamorphic optic. It features the beautiful stretched oval bokeh and streaked lens flares that Siruis affordable anamorphic lenses have become known for, combined with a new wider field of view.

Options for affordable wide anamorphic shooting have been very limited until now. Traditional wide-angle anamorphic cinema lenses have cost tens of thousands of dollars, while DIY anamorphic adapters based on optics designed for projection dont cover wider angles. In addition, most of these solutions have limited close focus.

The SIRUI 24mm F2.8 is designed from the ground up to address these needs. The lens features a 1.33x squeeze factor and has an imaging circle that covers APS-C sized sensors. It is available in native mounts for Micro Four Thirds, Sony E, Canon EF-M, Nikon Z, and Fujifilm X cameras and is sturdily built with an all-metal body. Front filter size is 77mm and the lens barrel is non-rotating, which allows for easy use of variable ND and other filters. With persistent efforts, the SIRUI R&D team resolved key technical problems to deliver a previously impossible 0.6m minimum focusing distance – all without the need for additional diopters.

The fast F2.8 aperture of the 24mm lens allows foreground objects to stand out against smoothly blurred backgrounds and night scenes to be perfectly captured. Combining the fast aperture with the 0.6m close focus also makes for interesting close-up options.

The new 24mm joins the companys existing 50mm and 35mm 1.33x anamorphic lenses to form a set of lenses that share common aesthetics and handling. Cinematographers can now use the lens trio to tell complete cinematic stories with SIRUIs signature look, switching freely between scenes while maintaining common background rendering.

Sirui lenses truly enhance the artistic appeal of your footage and immerse your audience in an anamorphic world.
