The EXR mode of Fuji X10 and the benefits of shooting at 6 Pix (not 12 Mpix)!

  • Fujifilm cameras with the CMOS-EXR sensor (X10) feature a unique shooting mode called the EXR mode. You can use it automatically or choose more specifically: SN (signal to noise), DR (dynamic range), HR (high resolution). The EXR-SN mode allows you to reduce noise, the EXR-DR enables advanced methods of modulating dynamic range, and the EXR-HR mode ensures that the resolution and image fine detail are maximally good. The price to pay is that in the DR and SN modes, you will have to drop the resolution down to 6 MPix (from the native resolution of 12 MPix). In this video, I explain how Fuji's EXR mode works and whether the image quality gained is worth the reduction in overall resolution. I think EXR is a fine mode, but it is not universally the best for every situation. I show you sample photos taken with various settings of Fujifilm's EXR function.

    Thanks for this excellent analysis! I had both the compact XQ1 and XQ2 which had the same sensor and firmware but both had the same lens error issue which plagued both models.

    Good video Tom! Maybe the EXR-SN should be used in very low light conditions, to see the difference, I dont use it that much to be honest. I guess this modes are for begginers, Like Advanced Auto Mode, In which you can prioritize.

      Hi Tommy! Thanks a lot for your feedback. Yes, the EXR-SN is indeed most suited for low light conditions. Low light means high ISO, so one would expect to see some effect in any high ISO image. I, too, don't use it very much in practice. Kind regards!

    I have a Fujifilm Finepix F550EXR that also have this exact mode. Interesting to learn about how it works in detail and how to make use of it the most. Not used the camera in a while but dusted it off again just now in conjunction with also aquiring a Canon EOS700 DSLR from a friend and the little Fuji still a great camera for sure. Only thing with it is the sensor is a bit noisy so at higher ISO esp in low light the images tend to get quite grainy. One thing that is for sure is mobile cameras sure are great today but they cant really beat dedicated photographic equipment although my current mobile actually has a camera from Hasselblad in it and it shows! So in short im now in posession of 3 really good cameras wich is nice!

    Hi Tom...very interesting video! Yes Fuji EXR mode's are little enigma's ...cracking the code! If i compare EXR snr 6 mp with 6mp in aperture mode at iso 3200, i see a bit les color noise and the overall noise is smoother( in snr mode) also a little more detail but the diffrences are minor! Yes i gonna try de EXR DR mode..looks interresting.I have nice results with the 6mp DR400 / Iso100 setting ! Noise mesurment at Iso200 , the snr drops below the (critical) 35dB sensor noise...but perhaps in real world it's different! Ps i have my noise reduction at -2!

    Just wondering if there's any way of lowering the megapixels on the xt20?

    • @tom_photo
      @tom_photo  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi! Indeed you can. In the menu you have image size and quality settings. There you can choose a smaller image size if you want. However on the X-T20 this will do nothing more than basically just reduce the quality of your image. It will not give you a better dynamic range or other benefits. This in contrast with the X10 I talk about in the video. Kind regards!

      @@tom_photo Back in the early 2000's i used to have a nokia phone and the camera was 1.3mp! I got a picture of a tree and it just looked so mosaic & abstract. I also had 2 nikon coolpix point & shoots, one was 3mp and the other was 5mp. Some of my best pictures were taken on them. So i just thought i could experiment with lowering megapixels.

      @@reflux043 Hi! The simplest way would be to use a photo editor that you use to modify your photos anyway (such as GIMP) and make you photo however small. But you probably want a large photo that is pixelated (instead of simply a small photo). So, you can just use a pixelation function on your large photo. Cheers!

      Hi! Thank you for asking. The X10 doesn't have good connectivity. You will need to include a computer to get X10 photos into a phone. First download and then upload to your phone. Kind regards!
