Great photos, but 1-3 and 5 are very underexposed. If you shoot in one of the PSAM or Adv. modes you can turn on the custom information view by pressing the DISP/BACK button. By default it will have all options checked - including an histogram. You can check the histogram and rotate the top dial to adjust the exposure to the right, accordingly. Unfortunately, If you took these in SR+, you are at the mercy of the camera.

All photos shot in RAW and edited in LR. This is how I liked them 
Then I would suggest calibrating your monitorAll photos shot in RAW and edited in LR. This is how I liked them
This is a correctly exposed seaworld shot.--

What went wrong with the colours, absolutely not Fuji-like at all? Wrong WB setting?

He is correct. The shots are all dark, oversaturated. The blue channel especially seems overdone.Whats next??? my eyes getting checked???Then I would suggest calibrating your monitorAll photos shot in RAW and edited in LR. This is how I liked them

Hi, Thanks for sharing these. I'm especially interested to see an X-A1 post here since my X-A1 is arriving Thursday.
I like your composition, and was pleased to see the camera focuses well close up and at a distance, and could take those action shots which I know my current camera would have missed. But I'm wondering, like others, about the colors (especially the dominant blue) and the exposure. I hope you don't mind sharing a little about what might have been going on because it kind of doesn't look like normal camera defaults, but maybe it is.
Were these SOOC? Were there any in-camera adjustments to saturation, color, etc.? They look like basically good photos that have been dulled down and made bluer. It would be a big help to me if I knew if that was "photographer's choice" or "camera's choice".
Thanks for any help on this--I keep looking around for recommended settings but haven't found much--

Thanks for the comments. These are all RAW files edited in LR and exported as JPEG. Here is the JPEG from Camera.
Its an excellent camera with twin dials and fantastic JPEG output. You wont be disappointed

Thanks so much! This looks good to me and well beyond what any camera I have now can do. (FWIW, I think the exposure on the earlier one posted looked a little too "under" at least as it uploads here, but the intensified colors in the crowd would actually work well for me if it were displayed as a large print.)Thanks for the comments.

Great to know about the JPEGs. My camera is scheduled to get here tomorrow. Can't wait!

No Problem I used PROVIA simulation mode. Thats why colors popped up. I use PROVIA for landscape photos and ASTIA for people. I think DR was 200 or 400. Again very good camera for the price i paid ($445 for X-A1 with XC 16/50 and XC 50/230 )

I hope you aren't feeling too beat up, we really do "just want to help".No Problem
I would mention that I always use DR100 when I shoot RAW since using DR200 or DR400 underexposes the RAW 1 or 2 EV. The exposure is automatically corrected in the jpg, but not the RAW.
My reasoning is that I don't like boosting my RAW exposures in post.
