I Was Framed!

Last Friday I took my Fuji X-T1 in to the repair facility in New Jersey to have a light-leak defect repaired. Today was the first day I had to get out and shoot with it. The fix for the problem must have required the settings to revert back to default. So re-customizing the camera to my preferences was a process of trial and error. By the end of the afternoon I thought I'd managed to get everything back to my personal settings .... except for one. I always shoot RAW, but the default setting for the camera is for 'fine' JPG. I didn't realize there was a problem until I loaded the images from the SD card into my Lightroom catalog. This is the first time since I've been shooting with either the X-Pro1 or the X-T1 that I shot JPG. This image is SOOC (straight out of the camera) with no post-processing.




I'm quite impressed. Nice to know I can get this kind of quality without having to shoot RAW. But I'm still going to shoot RAW anyway. I like to work with as much data as possible.
