DPRTV: The Recent Improvement and Benefits of ProResRAW

By Louis Ferreira | Published: September 5, 2020

We previously covered how Finalcut Pro was making ProRes RAW even better here, but above DPRTV provides us with a video showing off these improvements. Unfortunately, Fujifilm and Sony cameras do not have the ability to adjust white balance yet so hopefully, there is an update that adds support later. Below is a summary of the above video.

ProRes Raw recently became more RAW like in Finalcut Pro adding ISO/Color Temperature/Exposure adjustment to the inspector
Other video RAW formats already allowed for white balance and ISO adjustment in post so ProRes RAW is catching up
In the past if you did heavy exposure pushes or white balance adjustments the video would fall apart
Now with the update, ProRes RAW performs as expected
Setting ISO after the fact is something photographers might not be familiar with, but it is common with video
Generally, you shoot at your base ISO and then bring the video up which preserves your highlights
This is more complicated with Dual ISO sensors where your camera has a clean ISO for well-lit situations and a clean ISO for low light
Since this isn’t advertised you can record ProRes RAW and start at your base ISO but then push up through the range until you see the noise drop off, which will tell you the second base ISO of your camera
So you treat your camera as if it has two sensitivities and then edit from there
Many manufacturers are choosing ProRes RAW as their standard
Fujifilm and Sony cameras do not have the ability to adjust white balance yet so hopefully, there is an update that adds support later

New Fujifilm Manager Interview – The Slow Death of DSLR, Strong X-T4/X-T3/X100V/GFX100 Sales, COVID, X-H2, IBIS, and More

By Louis Ferreira | Published: September 4, 2020

Image resources added a new interview with Mr. Udono, Mr. Iida, and Mr. Toshi Iida the now former General Manager Optical Device & Electronic Imaging Products Division at Fujifilm. Below is a summary of the lengthy interview:

Fujifilm’s supply chain has been restored and manufacturing is back to the usual since COVID-19
There was a huge drop in sales due to COVID-19, but the market has been recovering and still feels like it is getting better
Fujifilm thinks they outpaced the market’s recovery thanks to the X-T4
Fujifilm X-T4 has very strong demand
Fujifilm X100V also had stronger than expected demand
“Customers buy cameras even under difficult situations, if the products are unique and innovative.”
Fujifilm doesn’t expect demand to fully return this year, but the holiday season should be good
Fujifilm’s camera profits are still pretty good
CIPA is predicting a 20% year over year drop in the industry, but Fujifilm thinks that it pessimistic
Fujifilm thinks high-end cameras and mirrorless will be a small portion of that drop, which will mainly impact DSLR cameras
The Fujifilm X-T3 continues to sell has strong demand
The Fujifilm GFX100 is still selling better than expected
Fujifilm did well ignoring full-frame and focusing on GFX and APS-C cameras
Fujifilm thinks the high-end full-frame market is limited to $3,000 to 5,000 and they are pursuing it with GFX
Fujifilm wants full frame photographers to upgrade to medium format
GFX has lots of good AF and NonAF adapters for a variety of lenses
70-80% of photographers picking GFX are coming from non-Fujifilm camera systems
Fujifilm thinks the number of switchers is staggering because they are dumping DSLR for GFX
If you’re finally leaving DSLR than why not step up to a larger sensor in your mirrorless camera
GFX50R photographers are shooting street while GFX100 photographers are doing Fashion, commercial, fashion portrait…
GFX is also generating a lot of inquiries from B2B industrial-type customers for archiving at museums and libraries
GFX100 outsells the GFX50R and GFX50S every month
GFX100 Sales volume is 50% above expectations
Fujifilm is working hard to catch up and keep up with the demand
They think the attachment rate is 3 or more lenses, with GFX100 having the highest and GFX50R the lowest
GFX has a higher attachment rate than X cameras
Fujifilm thinks most are switching to GFX for the superior image quality over full frame
Full frame photographers love the medium format look
GFX50R and GFX50S design can use tweaking and there is a balance going on with size, weight, etc…
GFX100 is the perfect GFX camera and it was made with no compromises which is why they made the camera bigger to include IBIS
GFX100 customers want no-compromise quality that they can shoot handheld
Comparing the X-T4 to X-H1 will help you understand what can be done with a few years of R&D
AI will help with more than just AF in the future but they can’t talk about it now
Fujifilm’s current processors aren’t fast enough for AI but future cameras will come with chips powerful enough
Fujifilm doesn’t think 5G will be very useful beyond local stuff before consumer
X cameras use IBIS and OIS combined, but GFX doesn’t need to combine the tech to reach peak stabilization
Most image stabilization choices are made due to image circle limitations, which the GFX doesn’t have compared to X
Fujifilm is transparent about how many stops each lens can provide because of the combined limitations
The X-T4 IBIS (left) is 30% smaller and 20% lighter than the X-H1 IBIS (Right) unit because they removed the three coil springs and went magnetic in addition to improving other small details like the circuitry
The Fujifilm X-T4’s IBIS unit is also 8x more accurate thanks to their new gyro sensor this provides more stops of IBIS (8x more detection accuracy of vibration than X-H1)
The new IBIS allows for the correction of blur at even the edge of the image circle
Three aspects improved the Fujifilm X-T4’s new shutter
- New Coreless DC motor with quicker starting/stopping and more torque
- Analyzed the X-T3 shutter and changed out any weak materials like the shutter material and plastics, which changed the way they filled molds to improve the strength of their glass fiber plastic
- The springs were improved to absorb shock by using new materials and different tension
X-T4’s new shutter lasts twice as long and is one third the volume of the X-T3
The new shutter also improves shutter shock
Using springs to attach the shutter also greatly cut down on the sound of the new shutter
It would be hard to fit the new IBIS unit from the X-T4 in the X-Pro4
Fujifilm is still investigating and keeping their mind open about what to do with an X-H2
After the launch of the X-T4 Fujifilm received a lot of interest asking for the X-T4 in a bigger body with the command dial etc…
Fujifilm needs a breakthrough for X-H2 so it seems they like to introduce new features to their cameras via this product line
There is a lot of internal debate at Fujifilm about how a camera should be held and what buttons are needed, which lead to the removal of the 4 controls on cameras that they might be accidentally pressed
Fujifilm doesn’t think GFX photographers want as much glass as X mount
Fujifilm keeps listening for more lenses to add
Fujifilm dropped the XF33mm f/1.0 for the XF50mm f/1.0 due to size, but also they believe the 50mm f/1.0 has more beautiful Bokeh
The X-Pro3’s flip-down screen further differentiates it from the X-T4
They know the flip-down screen is 50/50 love or hate
Customers that hate the flip-down screen went X-T4 and those that love it have no alternative option
The Fujifilm X-T3 will be produced as long as people are buying it and the price will continue to fall
The Fujifilm X-T4’s hybrid digital stabilization system likely won’t show up on other cameras as digital stabilization because it uses the gyro

Fujifilm Launches Large-Diameter Mid-Telephoto Prime Lens “FUJINON Lens XF50mmF1.0 R WR”

By Louis Ferreira | Published: September 3, 2020

Fujifilm Launches Large-Diameter Mid-Telephoto Prime Lens “FUJINON Lens XF50mmF1.0 R WR”
– The world’s first AF-capable F1.0 interchangeable lens for mirrorless digital cameras
– Realizes creamy and beautiful bokeh, features fast and accurate AF for high-quality portrait photography

TOKYO, September 3, 2020 — FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Kenji Sukeno) is pleased to announce the launch of the “FUJINON Lens XF50mmF1.0 R WR” (XF50mmF1.0 R WR) in late September 2020 for the X Series of digital cameras, renowned for their outstanding image quality with Fujifilm’s proprietary color reproduction technology. It is the world’s first* F1.0 lens with autofocus (AF) capability.

The XF50mmF1.0 R WR is a large-diameter mid-telephoto prime lens with the focal length of 50mm (equivalent to 76mm in the 35mm film format). The maximum aperture of F1.0 produces creamy and beautiful bokeh. Its high-performance AF system can focus on a subject swiftly and accurately, making the subject stand out against a background to create artistic portrait photography. The XF50mmF1.0 R WR is the 35th interchangeable lens for the X Series.

*Among interchangeable lenses for mirrorless digital cameras as of September 3, 2020, according to Fujifilm

With its large-diameter structure, the XF50mmF1.0 R WR is a prime lens boasting the fastest maximum aperture of F1.0 in the history of interchangeable lenses for Fujifilm’s digital cameras. The use of advanced optical technology controls spherical aberration, thereby capturing pictures with creamy and beautiful bokeh. The lens is also equipped with a fast and accurate AF mechanism to capture the photographic moment for high-quality portrait photography. Designed based on the compact and lightweight “X Mount system**” this ultra-bright F1.0 lens weighs only 845g and measures just 103.5mm for excellent portability. Its dust and weather resistance and ability to operate at temperatures of down to -10℃ makes it highly practical.

With the XF50mmF1.0 R WR joining the extensive lens lineup, Fujifilm offers lenses that cover a broad range of focal lengths to complement photographic pleasure delivered by the X Series.

**The system using the X lens mount adopted by the X Series of mirrorless digital cameras featuring APS-C sensors.

1. Main product features

(1) Maximum aperture of F1.0 for creamy and beautiful bokeh

The use of large-diameter lens elements has enabled the maximum aperture of F1.0. The lens consists of 12 elements, including one aspherical element and two ED elements, in nine groups to keep spherical aberration under control. This delivers creamy and beautiful bokeh, making the subject stand out to add an artistic flair.
With its high resolution, the lens can be stopped down for greater image sharpness, providing comprehensive photographic versatility.

(2) Fast and accurate AF performance

The DC motor suitable for driving large lens elements works with the on-sensor phase detection AF system, built into Fujifilm’s digital cameras to achieve smooth AF. This allows fast and accurate focusing on the main subject even when the depth of field is shallow, which requires an advanced level of autofocusing accuracy.
The lens supports digital cameras’ Face / Eye AF function to capture a photogenic facial expression of a subject with accuracy. This makes it a perfect lens for portrait photography.
By bringing a large amount of light into the sensor, XF50mmF1.0 R WR can autofocus smoothly at near-darkness -7EV*** luminance level, an improvement on previous models’ -6EV luminance limit. Even in nightscape photography or other low-light conditions, the lens produces high-quality images with accurate focus, while mitigating camera shakes and reducing digital noise.

***AF at -7EV achieved when mounted on the FUJIFILM X-T4 and FUJIFILM X-Pro3

(3) High level of practical usability

As the lens is designed based on the compact and lightweight “X Mount system” it weighs only 845g and measures just 103.5mm for excellent portability.
The lens barrel is weather-sealed in 11 locations to ensure dust and weather resistance. It also operates at temperatures of down to -10℃. Users can continue shooting even in light rain or in harsh dusty conditions.
The control resolution of the manual focus ring has been improved. Its rotating angle of 120 degrees means the focus plane can be adjusted from the minimum working distance to infinity quickly with minimal movement. The ring is also smooth to operate, responding to subtle movements of the fingertips, to achieve an accurate focusing.

*Update digital cameras’ firmware to the latest version to correct color shading (non-uniformity) at F1.0.
