Fujifilm Cameras: RAW vs. JPEG

[@cdreyes81]

I used to be just RAW only. Since I moved to Fuji, I shoot both but I rely mostly on getting it right in JPG depending on jobs. If it's a portraitd or landscape, I work on those in RAW. If its events, behind the scenes work, time with family, I rely only on film presets i have saved in camera and what comes out is what comes out. I've learned to let go and keep that roughness and imperfection. But the images are beautiful. If it's a batch and i want to use Classic Negative, then I have my RAW and I'll process it through cap 1. I love that Fuji has let me be more free and not be shackled by one frame of mine. I don't have to try and be perfect and control everything. I can let some things just be.

[@d.a.r.a.n.o.i.d]

I’m not a professional and not even an amateur photographer, I just love photography and I only get to take photos on days out/holidays with the family or special occasions, so for me I’m just shooting jpeg and I don’t see myself shooting RAW any time soon, but it’s great knowing what these cameras are capable of. The JPEG’s are awesome and being able to take so many photos and having smaller backup sizes works well for me. Thanks as always for the informative video Chris 👍

Thank you so much Daran!!! 👍 Yeah, the JPEGs out of the Fuji are the best anywhere around!!

[@deputydd4364]

I'm 50/50 on this as an enthusiast. I chose Fuji as the JPGs are so great straight from the camera so I don't waste hours tweaking images and can share with people straight away when I've shot an event via my phone, sharing 2 days later is too late! I started with an EOS300D 16 years ago - have I ever gone back to RAW image......? I do shot RAW if the lighting is awkward and may need extra work though. Great video as always, thanks.

[@pal2tech]

Yep, many people now certainly have to push those images out as quickly as possible. Great that you can know when to switch over and necessitate the shooting in RAW when you know the conditions need it. 👍

[@k1k13004]

agree. Jpgs from my xt4 are amazing in my opinion

[@dr.rationalist9669]

The funny thing about photographers shooting raw or jpeg with expensive gear is often that they both do it for the same reason: They take photography seriously. The ones who shoot raw want to get the most out of their shots by post processing, the ones who shoot jpegs want the challenge of not having this possibility. I remember in film times some people developed their images with the film perforation visible to proof that they didn‘t do any crops in the process. It seems to me the same idea.

[@pal2tech]

Exactly!

[@highamnj]

As good an explanation of the differences as you're going to get anywhere.

Thank you so much Nick!! 👍

[@DavcoMediaTV]

This is the best analogy I've ever seen regarding RAW v JPG. A great way to describe the differences between the two. Have to say I really like your presentation style too.

Thank you so much Ian!!! That's so awesome to hear!!! Cheers to you sir!!! 🙏

[@alancornes8916]

Nice video. For those of us who already understand the JPEG - Raw difference there are still a few compelling reasons to shot JPEG. Storage maybe be getting cheaper but it is still an additional expense and another ‘faff’ to organise especially if you also include back-ups. Then there is the time element of having to sit in front of a computer to both see, and recreate, what you have shot. Yes, RAW files clearly have so much more potential than JPEGS for post processing but do we always need that? These days we can take so many photos keeping up with the post processing can be tough on schedules. Another worry about RAW is obsolescence. Will the technology move on making our current RAW files out of date and the processing software needed for them difficult to come by? There is a certain liberation in taking a photo (JPEG) and knowing that, apart from being able to do all the adjustments that you can do with a RAW file but to a lesser extent, that’s that. It’s a bit like shooting in film.

[@pal2tech]

Great points!! 👍🏻 and yeah, people have less and less time these days to be stuck in front of computers editing.

[@mikafoxx2717]

Yep. It's like getting only negatives back from the drug store versus 4.6 prints. The prints hold up better over time for being useful, but the photographer would probably want the negatives to blow up for big beautiful wall prints.

[@KurtisPape]

This was explained very well, I used raw + JPEG today and had great results. Having the JPEG to compare it to is the ultimate key. I can't believe how much more detail I retained while doing wild life photography, now I feel like I can finally crop!

[@cryptodawk]

Based on the title of the video, I thought you were going to talk about the age-old jpg vs raw argument as it relates to Fujifilm cameras where a lot of people trust the in-camera processing so much that they stopped shooting RAW with Fuji, instead of a crash course in the difference between the two formats. Good introduction to the topic, just somewhat misleading on the title a little bit. All your content is excellent, by the way. Thanks for all the hard work you put into the channel.

Your channel has been so helpful! I've basically learned everything about my Fuj camera on here😂. Fujifilm should pay you.

[@markheywood5626]

Before I moved over to Fujifilm about 4 years ago I only shot RAW. But since using Fujifilm I shoot RAW and JPEG but never use the RAWs. Much prefer the JPEGs and get it as spot on in camera. The Fujifilm JPEGs are fantastic and can be edited better than any JPEG I have seen before. The editing you are showing is all good but if someone can't get white balance and exposure right in camera with a Fujifilm they need to learn how to use the camera.

[@pal2tech]

Most definitely!

[@abmscopes]

Totally agree. I have tried to recreate some of the issues in this and other JPEG versus RAW videos and to be honest, I ended up preferring the Fuji JPEG most of the time. I also found that I could make a similar range of adjustments in both without noting significant artefacts in the JPEG, so unless the user is really woefully under/over exposing it seems to me that most issues can be fixed just fine with JPEGs in post.

[@paulm8157]

Great explanation, especially the point about upgrades to editors to bring out future IQ; seldom mentioned in other posts on this topic.👍 Suggest follow up vid comparing edits capability for different RAW compressions - same or different results. Feed the dog, already!💀

[@pal2tech]

Your last sentence made me spit coffee at my monitor. Thanks, really. 👍 Great idea on the different RAW compressions. I just got asked another question about that -- and it's probably a topic worth visiting for sure.

[@menardquinto9516]

As someone who just recently got an XE4 and is currently shooting on both raw and jpeg this was really helpful

[@joerichard171]

I only shot RAW and use Capture1. If your a FUJI user, this to me is the best combo since Capture1 allows you to convert the RAW files to any of the FUJI film simulations, plus you have the versatility of having the RAW data for corrections.

[@pal2tech]

Agree. I need to get my lazy ass back into C1 and make some tutorials on that.

[@jimmason8502]

90% of the shots I take are jpegs and out of a Fuji the jpegs are excellent. I also shoot raw and store the raw files in a cloud but have yet to go retrieve any of them

[@Synplex]

Because quite honestly, with the resolution of modern-day DSLRs (48Mp+) You can always just reduce the size of the JPEG to keep it at 300 DPI and still easily print a 11x17 photo. Also modern Adobe software have great grain removing tools that will let you expand them even larger if needed.

[@jamiegominger3566]

Thank you for the explanation! I now understand the difference and can make informed decisions on when to shoot RAW vs. JPEG.

[@pal2tech]

Awesome!! 👍

[@triplescale]

I use Capture One with the Fuji RAWs if I want to print something or make a crop in. The RAWs have much better/more details then the JPEGs (except maybe ACROS). Fortunately Capture One can recreate the Fujifilm simulations quite well.

[@pal2tech]

They are the BEST for that. C1 actually works in partnership with Fuji to ensure the film sims are perfect.

[@blutac318]

I always love your way of explaining things. I’ve tended to shoot both, particularly with Fujifilm. Partly because it’s nice to only crop, and partly because i’m no good at editing. Somehow I always make everything look worse.

[@sclogse1]

Of course on any Fuji X that you shoot only raw on, the camera will also give you a preview of that. How much computing is going on flipping through all those files...probably a lot more than the jpegs that you didn't shoot.

I love the jpgs out of Fuji camera to. I shoot in RAW an Jpg, but the RAWs in moment will be an backup.

Your videos are great! I bought my first Fujifilm camera, an X-T5, largely based on info from your videos. I'm having trouble figuring out what IQ settings get "baked in" to RAW files. When I set IMAGE QUALITY to RAW (only), I see that several IQ menu settings are still available, e.g. FILM SIMULATION. I thought these settings applied only to JPG output, so am confused why they're still available when IQ is set to RAW only. Any light you can shed on this will be appreciated.

[@quite1enough]

July 21st I finally bought x-t3 body black. Only yesterday I found a lens I want (vintage one). Today I was about to try it, but boy oh boy. When SD card inserted camera won't turn on. When I remove SD card, camera still wont turn on, until I remove and insert battery again. When camera is turned on, inserting SD card makes is shut down, and yet again you can't turn on the camera after that. Also camera substantially warmed up without any activity for some reason. Tech service is usually not good in my country but I hope for the best. I'm gonna go to the store where I bought the camera (official Fuji dealer). Situation complicated by already applied protective screen to the camera (I bet they won't compensate me this, lol). I didn't even thought that there's can be serious issues like that. I'll update my story after visiting a store etc. upd. they took camera for diagnostics, and initially wanted to make repairs which may took up to 45 days, but the real issue is in case of repair it looks like I bought renovated camera for the price of new.. so I declined to repairs, only diagnostic, chief manager will be on Monday to solve the issue, but consultants at the store talked about repair of three days old camera in a very bureaucratic manner, like it's not an issue

[@jpdj2715]

Excuse me, a sensor is a photovoltaic cell and is analog. What we generally mean is the entire array of these cells in a chip. The first generations had no "analog to digital conversion" (ADC) built in, so ADC was a discrete piece of electronics between sensor and processor. Today's sensors have ADC baked onto them. And this limits bit depth to the choice of the sensor bakers. The sensor is powered by the camera's main board and read by the CPU and chip sets and the raw file is the result of scanning the sensor and cooking the data. The sensor "does" nothing. And without firmware the rest of the hardware in the camera also doesn't work. The raw file has a lot more information than a JPEG file (data compression with losses). But it is cooked up by the firmware executed by CPU and logic board in scanning the sensor. That sensor doesn't even have pixels (pixels are RGB color, and cells in the sensory are monochrome R, G or B).

Hi Galterius! I've heard the difference is negligible. However, on some computers (mine being one of them) I can't get the preview in file explorer to work with compressed RAWs.

Cool movie. I abandoned Sony for Fuji because of the colors. The colors of Provia, Velvia, etc. are amazing. When shooting in JPG, we can adjust min. sharpness, clarity and color. As far as I know, Fujifilm does not (unlike others) provide films for post-production programs. Obtaining the same color as in jpg when processing rav files is impossible or very time-consuming. As an amateur, I process photos in Luminar Neo. There you need presets with the .dcp extension. I found some on the Internet, but their colors differ from the jpg film. Maybe someone has good Fuji movie presets with such an extension?

That depends on how long the video footage is and what resolution you are shooting at.

Thanks for the detailed info

[@pal2tech]

No problem!

Since there are so many raw formats, isn’t there a risk that your favourite app will not be able to read the files in the future? This has happened to me with my first digital pictures from Minolta digital cameras.

Not that I disagree with the argument, but a magic wand and curve tools in any image editor - even something as old as Jasc Paint Shop Pro can do better than the example here. Feathered selections with a magic wand then allow you to make the adjustments mentioned here without affecting the areas NOT in the selection.

I dislike that you cannot view Fuji RAW files on Lightroom mobile... you have to import them in order to view them... I miss my Nikon for that reason

2:03 is my favourite part of the video...I want the silver edition so bad!
