Here are the questions
that Marco answers in this episode:
- I think rangefinder camera
design is superior for use with filters, because focus mechanism is
not affected by screw on filters. However, how do rangefinder
shooters use graduated or split ND filter? Do they use only screw
on type and then compose the scene to be split right down the
middle? Thanks!
Question from:
Garlo in Irvine,
California
- Hi Scott and Marco, Hi! I have
a problem that I am struggling with. I have an Olympus OMD EM10 MK1
and i have noticed that if i take a photo with a lot of contrast
the highlights seem to get burnt out if i try and expose for the
darks. I am saving files in jpeg format. I also have a Nikon D7000
that seems to cope OK although I do save files in raw with this
camera. Is there something i can do in the settings to try and help
with this or is it because of the micro 4 3rds sensor on the older
EM10? Cheers!

- Hi Scott, Hi Marco, thanks for
your great show. I always listen to it during my walks ! I've got a
question regarding the size of the single autofocus point. In the
center of the frame, I can select a focus point which provides
"phase detection" and "contrast detection". I can increase the size
of this point. Does this mean that these phase and contrast
detection methods rely on a scalable number of pixels only, or do
they or one of them rely on a physical detector and in this case
what is the advantage of increasing the size ? I'm using a fuji
x-t2. Thank you and bye/bis bald
Question from: Laurence from
Rennes, France
- This may be a rather simple
question with a complex answer, but a friend and I are both
considering the switch to Fuji and I know both of you use or have
used Fuji cameras. Do you use a RAW developer and subsequent
processing software or do you use the out of camera jpegs and no
RAW at all with software for minor changes? I'm primarily
interested in B&W whereas my friend shoots more
color.
Question from:
Jim in Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma
- How confident should I feel
about my computer being able to read my Nikon and Fuji raw files in
say 20 years time? Thanks for the show guys !
