Are you a teacher? Or were before YT? I am a photographer for 8 years, I watch like dozen of YT channels in French or English, you are definitely the best one to explain any basic or complicated things to the audience.
He is. I work professionally creating content for Coursera, edX and Udemy, he is a natural.
Really is the best at explaining things. He could be a really good high school teacher.
+1 on this
I must say as a Fuji owner I enjoy how you get into all the quirks of the camera, specially the non obvious stuff
Chris, no one else is doing this type of testing. So helpful and useful - thank you!
I shoot Lossless compressed for everything. Another very well informed post.
You are a rock star. This was super helpful. I’m shooting lossless uncompressed, but I’m switching to lossless compressed immediately. No need for those 57 meg shots.
Just the video I was waiting for. Great work! 👍🏼
Thank you, Chris for leaving no stone unturned. Always great work!
Many people don't realise how important this subject is. Thank you really much for this video.
The amount of work that goes into your videos is incredible. The insight appreciated.
Always, always excellent tips vs investigations! The best Fujifilm channel out there!!!
Another fantastic video. When reading the title, I didn't think this would be applicable to me, but as usual, I end up learning a lot from your content. Thank you!
You are so thorough. Thank you for doing all the tests most of us can’t even come up with. Very helpful indeed
You are consistently the most thorough UA-cam photographer. I am delighted when I have a question and a google search brings me to a video you made. It almost always is answered thoroughly.
Thank you so much Jamie!! 🙏🙏
I needed this so much, thank you for not rushing it and doing it properly instead ;) you the real MVP sir
I follow you for over 1 year and half and I LOVE you each time I watch a new video… not kidding! you’re the most fun and with rich information to watch!!!! keep up 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Excellent video! I've just purchased an gfx100s and so file management has become more important than ever. This was super helpful, thank you so much for the content as always!
the only difference i've seen between lossless compressed and uncompressed in fujifilm files is that uncompressed files have a jpeg built in so that there is a preview on Mac computers even if the camera is unsupported by Mac firmware (lke the XT3).
Your videos are absolutely stellar! Sure I learn from many Fuji vids and tutorials on UA-cam, but yours are always where I learn the most information in the shortest amount of time, and walking away actually knowing something that sticks in my brain. Thank you for your efforts and attention to detail. You really know how to relate essential information without useless fillers. I wish more UA-camrs delivered information the way you do. Keep on Rockin (in a free world?)!
Great info and so well explained as always! Thank you Chris.
Another great post from the most entertaining and informative guy on UA-cam. I’ve no idea where you find the time for such detailed, thorough analyses, but thank you for doing so. Saves me the effort and time. Just switched my x-h1 to lossless and will see how it goes.
Can I ask how it's going, two years later?
Very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to do this .
Thank you, thank you! You do the research well and you pick great topics. Keep it up.
Fantastic video, sir. Especially with how different software treats the files.
As always ... fantastic video !! Thanks so much
Another very clear explanation with good examples. Thank you.
Please note that in my version of Apple Photos on MacOs: Apple Photos can read uncompressed RAF, but not the compressed (lossless) ones.
Man, that was a really interesting video. Thanks for the info.
Very, very helpful and incredibly interesting. Thank you.
Love the depth Chris...U make understanding Fuji cams worth understanding 😁👌
Great to hear! Thank you so much Ben!!!!! 👍
Thank you so much, this was exactly what i needed to know! 👍
Gracias Cris! Por hacer ameno este tema tan técnico 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Changed my setting from uncompressed to lossless immediately. I lost count of the settings I changed because of your advice. Thanks so much!
You've covered so many important questions I've had.. thank you for your efforts, sir.
Very thorough, very helpful! Thanks!
Great enthusiasm and interesting facts! Thank you so much!
Thank you for a very clear and understandable presentation
The other week I was wondering why Fujifilm X-T2 files are so much bigger than Nikon D750 files, and someone on Reddit explained that Nikon uses lossless compression. It made me look for an option to turn that on in my Fuji and I’m so glad I found it. I wish I had been shooting with lossless compression since I got my X-T1 over 5 years ago. Would have saved so much hard drive space.
So thorough as usual 👍
Super clear as always! Thanks
Excellent analysis!
*Very informative and helpful. THANK YOU.*
WOW... Thank you for all the work on testing... very helpful
No problem!! Cheers!!
Great video! Keep up the good work
Glad I found this channel. Thanks.
A great, informative video. Thank you.
Thx for testing this! And I keep shooting in uncompressed raw, just like you said: storage is cheap. AND thx also for testing the life span of your mechanical shutter 🙃🤪
I missed that shutter comment in this one. What episode was that?
Great work!
Excellent video! thank you!
I've seen dozens of your video, and just now I was realizing a thing: you gesticulate like and more than an Italian 😅
Thanks, you're the best on youtube.
Hahaha!!!
Firstly, I need to say that thank you for these kind of videos of yours to make people got informed; I saw your videos just a while ago and writing my first comment here.
I actually was wondering what's the difference between that three options, in my previous one x-t20 (there were two though in that device) and currently my new x-e4. Indeed, i watched a video about it a couple of years ago but it wasn't as this detailed, honestly. So, your video is definitely clear to understand and really helpful. Did I thank you before? :) Stay safe!
Nice demonstration, thanks
Excellent analysis!!!
Thank you kindly!
Really helpful. Thanks!
Answers a lot of questions!
Loved it! Please do a video on the mystery of the worms in Lightroom!
👍👍👍 Very valuable video. Thanks a lot.
Oh, Chris, again such a very great video. I never used any other than lossless compressed in Nikon and Fuji, but I enjoyed your lesson so much again. Another look? No glasses and another haircut! Looks a littler strange at first minutes. Happy weekend. Uwe
Great video as usual, so thank you once again. One thing you didn't mention in this video which I caught in another video of yours was that the Mac Finder cannot display Lossless Compressed RAW files. That's a pretty big deal for me as I like to be able to see what I have in Finder. Having seen this video before, I concluded the only way to view my RAW images in the Mac Finder was to include a jpeg. Turns out, as long as I use Uncompressed RAW, I can view those files easily in Finder without the need for the jpeg. Looking forward to your return. Enjoy your break!
Thanks. Great video ! Very usefull
Nice Hair Cut :) - Keep up your great work
Subscribing him is like attending school. Love your videos man.
One difference between compressed and uncompressed is both iOS and MacOS doesn’t support displaying Compressed RAF files, and PhotoMechanic can’t write to them either if you’ve set it up to write to Raw, it writes to XMP sidecar files instead. Fortunately Exiftool does.
Thank you very much....very lucid.
Thank God somebody did a video on this. Love m kerala 💕
thank you Chris !!
Very interesting!! I always use 'lossless compressed' but didn't know the real difference. Thanks a lot Chris!
Hey Juan!!!! Great so see ya here buddy!!! I hope you are doing ok. Cheers to you and your family!!!! 👍
@@pal2tech Thank you Chris!! Cheers to you and your family too!!!
This guy is enjoyable to watch, now if you don't have the time just do this when shooting raw: Select lossless compressed.
great videos!!!
Great video. Every question I had - you covered. I tip my cap to you good sir.
Very clear, i switched to lossless compressed on my X100-V ;)
BRILLIANT - now breathe in !!!!
Outstanding video! Big brother you should be sponsored by Fujifilm! 🎖🎖🎖🎖
That was so helpful...will have to watch it again (dogs and family at suppertime can be distracting...grin) Raw compressed lossless sounds interesrting...🤔
So far have been leaving the XT4 and the X100v on jpeg + raw uncompressed, but thinking of changing the X100V to just jpeg...maybe...go back and forth on that)
Great video
Thank you very much for these very good explanations.
How about a video explaining Fujifilm film simulations, surely that would be much appreciated
Excellent video !! I always take my photos uncompressed, because I rarely fill my Sd card before having transferred my images to my computer. I must admit when I saw your video, I thought it was in 8k, well no, it was only an optical illusion after your beautiful haircut :-).
Excellent video! These nuances are very important but probably will never affect us too much lol but good to know
thanks for the effort and the sharing. i use an older X-T1 and there isn't even a compression choice! all good.
R.I.P Michael Collins .. :( another amazing video thank you by the way
Great information
Thanks Arnie!!!
I definitely shoot uncompressed raw which gives you a little bit more data and that is because I am a landscape shooter and you need every little bit of data you can get because you need dynamic range and there is more data in the landscape photo than most of the photos when you're editing so for me, I shoot lost less raw, which does mean bigger file sizes. I can definitely tell in landscape photography, but I found it hard to tell in Street, Photography and portraits but definitely in landscape. She want as much data as you can and I'm a semi professional landscape shooter. Wow not full-time professional, but I'd still lots of images and do lots of printing say I want as much data as I can. What you didn't do, though and I have done is print and I'm talking large Prince of 1 m x 50 cm. If you do a very large print I guarantee you will notice a difference in image quality and that's why I shoot uncompressed raw and I did the same with Nikon as well when I was with Nikon. Yes it probably doesn't make any difference for a social media post because people are looking at their photos on phones and tablets and so forth you're not going to see any difference but if you're going to be doing large prints, then you will see a difference but 90% of photography isn't printed so probably 95 so if you're not printing then go with lossless or compressed nice, haircut to dude.....ha ha
Good info. I'll be checking my settings when I get home this afternoon.
Silkypix Developer Studio Pro 10 is the best software to edit Fujifilm.
Because, they are the company that created the Fujifilm X Converter. Also the company behind Nikon, Panasonic, Pantex raw converter.
Highly recommended.
Great video again. One piece of additional information, for X-S10 users: lossy compressed files are still not recognized by ON1 RAW (Windows) including in the latest version released yesterday. Not sure about Mac versions and X-T4.
Thank you for all the samples provided. From what I understand the compressed RAWs can be less compatible with older software? - but the simple 50% space saving is a pretty convincing factor.
a real test would be comparing the different compression formats on real-world pictures. Such as : fine foliage, grass , cat fur and so on. Only with difficult situation you would be able to see the difference between lossless and lossy compression.
Think I will shoot Lossless compressed after this video. Thank you for the video
Essential stuff for Fuji owners!
Man oh man some deep deep research done here Chris ! I shoot raw uncompressed, don't know how or why I do that, but it seems I am on the right track. Storage doesn't really become much of an issue with the cost of storage these days. How do you find time to do this ? Completely understand now why you want to do this full time.
One major downside with compressed files. There's no preview available when using Mac OS. And I prefer to sort out the images before importing all of them to Capture One.
That's why you should shoot both jpeg and raw.
This is the only thing preventing me from using compressed raw on Mac.
@@sclogse1 But how to be sure when I edit in any software, the raw is being used and not the jpg?
Lossless is good 😁 I would like to see this with gfx100s
Thank you
Great video, and still the only detailed comparison of the three versions of raw out there. Though, I'd disagree with the conclusion for Capture One users like me (given that the software is fully supported by Fujifilm). Keeping in mind that burst mode high speed fps is very limited with the big X-T5 files, compressed would be the best choice in the situation where you need to keep the speed up for 3-4 seconds to fully capture a developing action scene. Explaining to the client why the buffer lagged too soon is not a good excuse. Compressed will give you nearly twice the time/shots at full fps compared to lossless, and uncompressed is even slower. There is no good argument for uncompressed - if you're worried about legacy in the 23rd century, simply convert everything to DNG and build a time capsule. (But don't be so sure that DNG outlives RAF support... the future might be very different!)
If you every intend to convert Fuji Raw files on an iPad I recommend uncompressed, as there are a number of compatibility issues with iOS.
Well, that's put that to bed :)) Tnx for all that effort.
Great video Chris.
I think compressed raw has lower number of bits per pixel. That might be the reason for the low file size.
One thing I considered was that if you use the Fuji only version of Capture One and you want to convert to DNG first using additional software you stuck because C1 for Fuji only won't edit DNG files.
Dude, you’re cool!
Very useful! Nice tests have you done! I also had this question with brand new camera some time ago and also I have the same option checked, loseless compression. I'm not gonna change it, but I wonder if there is some battery impact because the compression process in each raw or not at all...
I don't think there would be much impact on battery. Probably not even as much as turning down the screen brightness a bit. I wouldn't worry too much about that.
Very good explanation. Canon’s lossy compression made a bigger difference in file size and buffering, still didn’t sacrifice image quality, that I noticed. Maybe Fuji could be a bit (no pun intended) more aggressive with lossy. Or maybe your test shots-full of color & detail-resist compression. It would be interesting to test file size differences on, for example, grey days, high key, low key, … scenes with low intrinsic dynamic range.
