Fujifilm Exposure Bracketing and HDR

[@cosmashono7665]

No student of yours would ever fail an exam. Every tutorial of yours makes my X-T4 worth every cent.

[@TheCoomer]

Indeed, I have learned so much on my Fujifilm that I didn't know was possible

[@JanPBtest]

This is the best Fujifilm series on KZbin (probably the entire Internet). I can't f/stop watching it!

[@sergiobento]

Man, it is amazing how you make things seem easy. Never seen someone explain something as well as you do.

[@hoa5262]

i swear every time i google ANY question i have about fuji, you pop up! such an amazing heap of well made, easy to follow knowledge. Thanks so much, you continue to save the asses of the entire fuji community hahahah

[@nolwennroberts7903]

Man... what would I do without your videos. Thank you.

[@videobyredjade]

this guy is the master of explaining things simply. thank you.

The deck you went was the same one you used for the intro. It was like watching inception.

[@pal2tech]

Hahah, exactly!!!!!! A dock within a dream.

[@davidletz9123]

I recently purchased a used X-T2 and found your channel while looking for Fuji-related help videos. Your channel is one of the best, if not the best. Thanks!

[@teacherofteachers1239]

One of my goals for where I want to be when Covid is over - to have something more positive to say for the past year than just "I survived," as serious as that is - is I want to know my camera more thoroughly, and videos like this are what I need. I learned a lot this morning, just as I'm packing my camera for a road trip for work. So now I have some cool experiments to try, which will make me more expert on my camera. Thanks as always for more great content. - Dave

2 thinx to consider when bracketing: 1. you want to use a tripod primarily to avoid geometrical differences between images. Not only your hand movement, but to make thinx worse, the lens geometry and the distortion of perspective are also against you: a slight change of position changes the angles of lines of objex in your image, so merging them into one is far beyond just a small offset move. 2. You want to shoot in aperture priority mode because different apertures change the characteristics of the lens, making certain areas sharper or softer, creating chromatic aberrations, vignetting, and so on. But you want to have the bracketed images geometrically as close as possible.

I've been a big fan of this channel and just realized I never took the time to say proper thank you. One of the most informative, structured and value-adding channels out there. Very big thank you from Croatia. Looking forward to every new "episode". Z.

[@spartanfriki]

OMG! I've had the camera for a while and ever wondered what BKT is, I recently discovered your channel and I'm so proud and thankful of you because there's almost none channels or so many clear tutorials for fujifilm cameras, thank you so much for the information, have a nice day 🙌

[@sueadrianpye5946]

So, I'm delving deeper into my X-S10 settings, AE BKT being one that I've not used often. After multiple searches and still having questions, I thought "what would Chris say about this?" Well, no surprise, you've covered it in detail! After watching this video the clouds have parted and I now understand. Thank you for your amazing channel and thorough content. I am so grateful for all your help!

[@alfanb]

[@seikibrian8641]

I had a trial version of Lightroom when it first came out, but never bought the full version. I never even got a full version of Photoshop, being happy with Photoshop Elements. I think I'll make the leap this year; post processing could be fun, and could add another dimension to my photography.

[@kevinmoore49]

Fantastic the way you explain it makes it easy to understand, can't wait to try this with my x-t3

[@joerichard171]

Another great video Chris. You make understanding these topics real easy. Thank you

[@lswith]

Love this! Only thing I would mention is that you don't get her merge in Capture one so it's not an option unless you pay for an external piece of software.

[@carolkarnib3753]

Really good explanations!!! Simple and direct, thank you :)

[@ScotHacker]

As was true of last month's HDR mode video, note that there *is no* "HDR" mode on the X-T3 dial - HDR mode is *only* available on X-T4! Would be very useful to mention the distinction in these videos, or in the description!

[@anthonyroffe5628]

Fuji 100v has it also.

[@tryx-tah5926]

X-S10 has this feature too! It just doesn’t have a seperate dial!

[@v12shane]

These videos are so helpful. I'm still learning but looking at my first shots with my XT4 vs what I'm taking now, there's a vast difference. Nothing pro by any means, but a clear improvement. And I credit your videos for much of that!

[@djtieff]

Nice tutorial as usual! Good job sir!

[@IanHelmcke]

Your videos are the holy grain of Fuji information! Thank you so much, it help photographers like me know what they are doing haha. Do you have a Instagram or patron page to follow and support!?

[@ManiVaradarajan]

Great video. I feel silly - I wish I had seen this video earlier. I didn't know how to use bracketing on my X-T3 on a recent trip. I fiddled with a 3-stop graduated neutral density filter in the field and it was hard. Thank you for posting this tutorial.

And sometimes SHOUTER!!!! 👍

[@GeoffGrant2010]

Another thought for a future video is to tie the bracketing information to judgements about the amount of dynamic range in a scene and how many stops to bracket. That would be helpful. I find that using ETTR, the Fuji cameras, at least those using the 26mp sensor, will recover at least a stop or two of shadow detail, and ordinarily I don’t need to use HDR to cover the exposure. If scenes have more dynamic range than that, or ,if I’m interested in more detail, then I’ll do HDR. Thanks. The camera settings are very helpful here. Geoff

Can you please do a video on night photography-focusing on how to capture star trails

[@CarolRawlings]

Great info on the AE bracketing - I always look to you first for the best tips! I noticed that the in-camera HDR takes 3 exposures, whereas you took 5 AE bracket exposures. I wonder if the number of exposures makes a difference to the final image. Do you think the photo taken with HDR feature (3 exposures) vs the AE bracketing HDR merge (5 exposures) might account for the difference in shadows, contrast etc? Just curious!

[@catherinegrimes2308]

I use AE bracketing when photographing total solar eclipses and end up with hundreds of photographs. I always use the -0+ setting because it makes it easy to find the start of a bracketing sequence. Also, when you scroll through the images as you go through a bracketing sequence it looks like an animation of the sun getting brighter. I have been using a bridge camera for the eclipses, but the plan is to use a Fujifilm for the eclipse in Texas in 2024 because of the better picture quality. After seeing the good reviews, I will probably buy a 70-300mm zoom lens. Unfortunately, that lens doesn't have an IOS off switch and I need the IOS disabled for long exposure shots of the night sky. On looking in the ISO Mode settings of my X-E3, the ISO cannot be switched off even though the manual states that there is an OFF setting. I don't really know what to do but, think that upgrading to the X-S10 camera could be the best way ahead. It seems as shame as I love that little camera.

[@primal_aperture_photo]

Hi Chris..Very well explained! Now I can try out that feature on my camera and know how it works! Thanks so much! I'm hoping you make a video on the burst modes the difference between low burst and high burst. Just a suggestion. :)

Hi, I live in the Scottish Highlands and I'm not new to photography. I've used Nikon for a number of years. Did have the D850 but sold all to reduce weight (familiar theme) so now use the Z7 II which I love. BUT, a friend of mine had a Fujifilm camera which caught my interest and have ordered the X-T5 combined with the 16-80mm - I'm landscape these days. Back Button focus ~ I do prefer the 1st method. Exposure bracketing - I prefer via Photoshop post LRC where I post process 1st image and sync to all then edit in Ps. How do I add "Exposure Bracketing" to 'MY' part of the menu (if you see what I mean ?). Also = how can you set a 2 second delay etc? Ok, to the point > pre learning and I've kind of fallen into your channel regarding Fujifilm and must admit you are drawing me in. Thanks very much. I've just subscribed and Liked. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@kareemtejumola5443]

Thanks for this illuminating tutorial on Exposure bracketing . Nonetheless am not sure what is wrong with my setting, I Followed the tutorial procedure but whatever exposure frames I put like +_ 3, or +_5, my camera always take 10 frames on counting, and 8 pictures finally, this is regardless of either 3 or5 pictures I am expecting . please what can I do to get the required frames expected?

[@togp3403]

Thanks a ton for the videos! I’m patiently waiting for my X-T2 and your tutorials are not only helpful but entertaining. They’re a great way to pass the time while I wait lol. Just a question though, why does the order the shots are taken matter? It’s going to merge the 3 shots either way so why would it make a difference? 6:40

[@johnnydee7480]

Great video; you're taking me to the next level each week. I would love to see the capture 1 version. Also has lightroom fixed the 🐛 feature? I’m also guessing one would need a tripod for using exposure bracketing?

[@pal2tech]

Thanks Johnny!!! Yes, you should always shoot with a tripod when doing exposure bracketing. You don't want the camera moving at all between each bracketed exposure. As far as LR fixing the worms, I doubt it, but haven't tested their latest update. My guess is probably not. I'll look into the latest update for C1 as well if they support the HDR merge feature. For awhile I know it wasn't supported on that platform.

[@lpark8]

Love this tutorial. I was doing each step on my X-T2 while you are doing it. I will experiment with this. One idea for your video content is maybe you can make some creative tutorials like studio portraits. Keep making these videos. Stay safe sir.

[@89grover]

It’s probably not a good idea to use exposure bracketing or HDR setting if your handholding the camera right? Fujifilm n00b right here, that’s I’m loving this channel! What’s the best way to get HDR shots without a tripod?

One again a great video! I have a question. How would you know intuitivly to use exposure bracketing or something like D Range priority setting to handle a high contrast image such as you showed in the video. Many thabks nick

Another wonderful lesson by the best teacher in the whole photo-world. I will try it with my X100V and my Z6, probably the same procedure. Does it make a big difference to merge the shots in LR vs Photoshop?

[@icogicog8287]

Although I have been using X and GFX Fuji cameras for years, I always learn a pearl or two form your videos. Thank you! I was wondering if you have ever done a video on how to use the custom setting in the X or GFX cameras. I tried to figure out if they could be useful, but the manuals are not very helpful. I would love for instance to have a custom setting where I could set the self timer to 2 or 10 seconds and go back to it with one click (or turn of a dial like in the GFX 100s). But so far no luck. HELP!!!!!!

Hi Sir, can we used fujifilm capture 1 to merge Exposure or focus BKT pictures? If can, possible to make some tutorial about that. Thanks

[@CarlosLopezES]

Thank you! I love bracketing, for landscapes it's awesome! One question, do you recommend LR over C1 for bracketing merge? Thanks again!

[@tonygreenwoodN10]

C1 doesn't do bracketing or exposure blending.

[@CarlosLopezES]

@@tonygreenwoodN10 Ohh, thank you. In this case, it's better to transform raws with X-trans or C1 and import into LR or can be imported directly without problems? You know, Fuji raw issues with LR...

[@tonygreenwoodN10]

@@CarlosLopezES I process my raw files in C1 and then export TIFFs to blend in Affinity Photo, then save the blended TIFF image back into C1 - works for me anyway and is much cheaper than having a LR sub.
