Good day,

I’m an amateur underwater photographer and I have met an issue with my Fujifilm x-t30 :)

While shooting (not even filming!) underwater in CL (or even single) mode, my camera just stops responding after about 30mins. Removing and changing battery is not an option when you’re in the middle of nowhere in the Red Sea, so I lost so many good pictures to this issue! Today, though, camera has shown me overheating warning, for the first time actually, so when I got to the shore I found out it’s really hot hot hot.

May be there is any settings trick to reduce overheating? Like, remove some load from the camera without spoiling the picture quality, by changing power settings, or changing lens, or stop using Lexar memory card. I will be grateful for any advice.

I am guessing that you use the camera above water for various time lengths without any troubles.

What you describing sounds like the case is not moving heat away from the body to the water. These cameras are air cooled so anything wrapped around the body acting as an insulator will cause problems. Video mode generates extra heat, it will be even more troubling, as will any setting that has the body in active run mode.

If you have no troubles above water, try a different case — you may have to talk to the manufacturer about heat transfer properties. Other that that, does the case gives you easy access to the on/off switch? I do not think it will be easy to manipulate, but if your reactions are fast enough to leave the camera off and turn it on when you need it, rather than just leave it turned on, you may be able to use your current case. The power management setting let you set an auto-shutoff time as well, after say five or ten minutes of not using it, the camera powers down on its own. Then turn it back on when you need it to get those cool rock grouper photos.

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By Don Barar · Posted

      The backslashes you are referring are just symbols denoting path.  Once you import into these LUTS into Davinci Resolve those backslashes are removed by default and you only see is the true file name which has no backslashes.  Convince yourself of this by opening the LUT folder from the Davinci Resolve Project Settings.  Do you see any backslashes in those LUT names? Of course not.  The only name you see is the one that has the underscores and the periods. These LUTS work as designed without having to change any path names.  However, they need to be set up properly through CSTs and by what is supported in Davinci Resolve.  Hence, the FLog2C film simulation LUTS cannot be used because Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut color space and the FLog2C gamut. Alternatively, Davinci Resolve does support Flog2 film simulation LUTS because the color space for FLog2 is Rec 2020 and there is an FLog2 gamut. If all you are doing is changing the path names then you are not getting the correct results.

      I found the reddit topic i refere to :  https://www.reddit.com/r/davinciresolve/comments/1pc3f1e/cant_apply_new_fujifilm_gfx_55_lut/ "Update for y'all, It's just like what @ExpBalSat said, it's because of the backslashes in the names break them. I changed the file name and it works now. "   For me it was the solution. Realy annoying if it doesn’t work for you 😕

      Here is the solution to using the Eterna 55 file simulation LUTs in Davinci Resolve.   In general, do not use the FLog2C to film simulation LUTs as they are not supported by Davinci Resolve for two reasons: 1) Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut Color Space and 2) Davinci Resolve does not support FLog2C gamma.  Instead, use Flog2 which is supported by Davinci Resolve.  Here is an example.  Let's say that you want to use Classic Chrome simulation.  Do the following: Complete your color grade and use a CST to get to Rec 709. Add a node.  Use a CST to convert from Rec 709 to FLog2.  Output Color space is Rec 2020 and Outout Gamut is FLog2. Add a node.  Apply the FLog2 to Classic Chrome LUT Create a combination node from node in steps 2 and 3. Apply a Key to the combination node and adjust the Key Output Gain to get the amount of the combination node that you want applied. So that you do not have to do this over and over again, generate a LUT for the combination node.  Remember to turn off all other nodes before generating the LUT. Hope this helps others. Don

      Thanks for the insights. I think it's really hard to make a decision without having the two side by side!
