It all makes so much CENTS! The exposure compensation dial has always seemed like a silly, yet ubiquitous dial. Why?? Can't it go away? I used it once 8 years ago. Maarten's going to let me in on why! Your presentation was flawless up until I realized, no, analog cameras also had exposure compensation dials. Then it all unraveled and I realized how brilliant you are Maarten Prior to that my mind was being blown, which was a welcome sensation. Good to know Nasa had a hand in things
Dear Maarten, I learn so much from your videos, why is it that no other RU-vidrs have your knowledge of the things that really matter like LOFing and I think it was "slurping"" I cannot remember the actual name. Keep up the good work.
Loved it! As one of the previous commenters said it’s good to have a chuckle nowadays. Now if you had presented a video entitled “Fuji finally sort autofocus” I would have rumbled you straight away!!
@@MaartenHeilbron Probably not! Anyway, thanks to you for your channel which I discovered and subscribed to a couple of months ago. Love the content and your presenting style, always look forward to seeing a notification of new content.
A long time ago, I studied the formulae for currents and voltages in semiconductors. They are all exponential, so not straight lines, which is usually a cause of distortion of the input in the output of analog circuits, of which there are some in digital cameras. Worse, every single one of the formulae are functions of temperature! Not a stable condition in the real world. It’s no wonder we need compensation mechanisms. We should refer to our histogram when we do the adjustment . Nice to see you back.
Oh dear, to think that there's a potentially real solution to my April foolish fiction is somewhat distressing! Thanks for setting the record straight.
How am I just now watching this? Finally figured out how to control the temperature in camera. Btw, I noticed that in the White Balance settings, I can lower the temperature to a cool blue. This allows me to shoot in extreme temperatures (for example baking videos).
Hi there! Greetings from the UK. Very interesting information and very happy to have learned a few things surrounding exposure in digital cameras. Astro photographers often modify their cameras to force cooling the sensor ( for ex making holes on the camera body) as the cooler the sensor the less noise it produces. I wonder if these two things are technically related? Thanks for sharing
If I use gel packs to cool my sensor, how do I set my ice/s/o ? By the way I just heard, not content to just offer film emulations, Fuji's upcoming camera release (Xt-6??) is offering a "styles" module. It will also be downloadable for upgrade back to the XT-4. By styles they mean famous photographers. Include to date (to be announced) are Henri Cartier-Bresson, Steve McCurry, Elliott Erwitt, Yousuf Karsh and Ansel Adams. This is exciting news and I can't wait take my version of "Moonrise, New York, NY"
Very interesting video Marteen !!! Thx a lot for that. You explain everything so simply that it s a pleasure. For next time can you explain to us what is the origin of April fools joke ? It can be very interesting too… ;). I can imagine you laughing (naughty boy !) reading all these comments… but you are right to laugh , laughing gives happiness and you deserve it !
Thanks for the kind words. There seems to be some human desire to tease, mock and have fun at the expense of others. April Fools Day seeks to limit that to one day per year.
It required quite an effort to follow the thought, amid all these jokes and originalities. In short - making the image brighter with Exp Comp dial, lowers the physical temperature of the sensor... If I made through the humor to the actual info.
Is this a first April video? The name dropping along with some research in the net let me doubt on the serious background. Nevertheless I always expose manually....
If you have the expertise to expose manually, that's highly recommended. I though the video (and description) had enough references to let my viewers determine if I was hallucinating.
@@MaartenHeilbron Dear Marten I supposed a first April video and no halucination (I am a psychologist) because I di not have any remembrance of any article, remark or video on that issue. Nevertheless I enjoy your videos...
Thanks for sharing my sense of humour, and for your kind words. I was using hallucinating in the way it's now being used to describe fiction created by AI LLMs.
That is not true, most if not all small mirrorless cameras overheat, particularly when recording video. For the record, Sony cameras had this issue earlier than others as their video capabilities were more advanced. Sony has addressed this issue with a higher temperature setting and redesign. Most recent Sony models are less likely to overheat that their competitors. At this point, small Fujifilm cameras are the worst culprits.
You had me for a while with the exposure compensation temperature thing, but I quickly came to realize this was AI generated drivel. In fact exposure compensation is just that, an adjustment of either the shutter speed or aperture setting to under expose or over expose your image. This stuff about a miniature HVAC system is garbage. In fact, your camera is cooled by the speed of the shutter. At higher shutter speeds the woosh of air is funneled to the Sea Moss to regulate its temperature. Haven't you wondered why fast shutter durations "freeze" the action? It's because the sudden torrent of air with a 1/4000th shutter momentarily plunges the Sea Moss below freezing (both freezing in Celsius and freezing in Fahrenheit). The electrons in the Sea Moss momentarily stop and apply for EI benefits because there's no work for an electron during winter. When the Sea Moss thaws the local electron union sends its members back to work, and the image is saved. For crop sensor cameras this is electron brotherhood local #733. Respectfully Maarten, I normally wouldn't disagree with you but this AI generated content has got to stop
Thanks. Thought I was clear that I had not used AI, but whatever. You have raised some very interesting points that clearly require further investigation and testing. Thanks for opening my eyes to the shutter speed's cooling effect. And, as a union brother, EB733 can certainly count on my support.
I know I'm stupid. (Despite a rather high IQ). But I have a feeling that my inability to understand this video may have something to do with other factors. Such as Gregorian Chant. Well, maybe chant is not the correct term. Perhaps overheating is something you might experience on a hot date? Although at my location it's freezing. My camera never overheats, but sometimes I do.
So, not stupid. However, I think you may be referring to the Gregorian Chart, an old map held in the archives of the Masonic Order. Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks promise to find it in an upcoming movie. Yes, interesting, often I do overheat before the camera does. Hot date indeed!
