Excellent video, but does this affect the raw image at all?

Much better explanation than I heard elsewehere. Thank you!

I like the manual control of DR and HS.

Thank you for explaining this. I was torn between which way, but using DR 400 seems to give me more control with bright skies and darker mountains, not so keen on flatter images, and like a bit of definition. All the best from Scotland

Good to know. I will play with the weak priority setting next time out.

Glad a fresh video is out on this! Fuji is so confusing sometimes

excellent

Wow this is super useful. I thought DR priority only affected DR but I see now what you say on affecting the tone curve. Great way to look at it as a "package" of modification by the camera.

That was really helpful as I didn’t really know those settings in detail. Since I bought the Fuji specifically for shooting Jpeg only I will try DRP-Auto with auto iso. That should give me a good image most of the time and in case I don’t like it that way, I should at least have a good point to start from and get what I want with just a few little adjustments.
