Just thought I would put links to all the FujiFilm HS-10 posts in an index post. This is one of the cameras which I use currently. It seems to get more use than my others, hence so many posts about it.

On different photography forums, I get a lot of requests for information about the HS-10 and it is easier if there is one page which links to all the posts.

Note : Clicking on any title will take you to that post

Fujifilm S100 fs - Settings Comparison

A couple of weeks back I changed my S100 fs Jpeg settings to Provia, Sharpness-Hard, Tone-Standard, Colour-High.

Typically, my preferred Jpeg film simulation setting is Soft (Astia). However, when set to this, the sharpness setting cannot be changed. If it is changed, then the film simulation setting reverts back to standard, Provia. Hence the reason why I increased sharpness and colour with the Provia setting.

Unless doing something like studio portrait work, I am not a big Provia fan. However, mostly when doing any studio stuff, I shoot Raw anyway.

After shooting a few hundred images, with the new Provia settings, I also wanted to do a comparison against some other settings and film simulation modes.

So, today there was a short period of sunshine and I took advantage of it.

Below are some examples of different settings.


Example 1
This is standard - Provia.

Example 2
Provia and with the Sharpness set to Hard and the Colour set to High.

Example 3
Provia and with the Sharpness set to Hard, Tone set to High and Colour set to High.

Example 4
Velvia film simulation.

Example 5
Soft (Astia) film simulation.

Example 6
Portrait film simulation.

Some quick thoughts.

Of all the settings, Astia still gives the most natural colours. I have always found Velvia 'punches up' the reds too much and skin tones, in particular, can look a little weird. Using Provia with all the settings turned up, seems to give far more natural looking reds.

For the moment, I will leave it set to Provia, and with all the settings turned up high. I'll see what effect there is skin tones though.

Fujifilm S100 fs - Resetting

I've had my Fujifilm S100 fs for over two and a half years and shot close to 32,000 images with it.

Mostly I shoot Raw, or if shooting Jpeg I prefer to use Astia film simulation.

I wanted to increase the in-camera sharpening but found that this causes it to revert back to Provia. As a little experiment, I decided to just shoot Provia with the Sharpness set to Hard and the Colour set to High.

So, for the past two weeks, this is how I have been shooting it.

The images below have been shot in Provia and with colour and sharpness set to high. They are simply shown in chronological order.

All passed through DxO Optics Pro to fix any lens anomalies, but are not otherwise edited. The exception is that a few of the night shots have had some chroma noise reduction and one was cropped.

With setting sharpness to high and looking at an image at 100% view (pixel peeping), sharpening artifacts are evident. However, at reasonable print sizes (say A3) they are not apparent.

The advantage of doing this ? It gives a clean and sharp image which can easily be simply edited to pull out the colour, if desired.

Enjoy.

From here on, the images were all shot this morning and with a very overcast and 'dirty' sky.

 

Cheers
