Re: Fuji x100 low light- done

Hi all! First off a big thank to anyone who chimed in on my topic. Photographing done yesterday evening, must say I am satisfied. The venue was fairly dark. I shot 1500 photos, ony a dozen using flash.  I tried go stay above 1/100 and the ISO was between 4000 and 128000. All shot in acros. Raw developed in fujifilm RAW studio with occasional 2/3 EV compensation.  Next time i will not let ISO go that high but 6400 ISO is perfectly fine. Many were 8000 and also good. I Shot in burst mode, and got a lot of keepers. Shots that I deleted were because of bad focus. Focus hunted but not many times. People were dancing and leaned towards me so i could not get the focus to follow them. Also, few photos were shot at 25600 iso (spinned the wheel accidentaly).also,  In all the comotion I bumped  the exposure comp dial to minus 3 and could not figure out what was wrong. I must say I used my x100f properly the first time. No messing with the settings, being low profile as possible and I think i have captured the mood of the party.

What would I change next time? Keeping ISO bellow 10000 ( i think that noise begins to suffer higher of 8000). Shutter speed 1/125 or higher. Maybe one auto iso setting for "portaits" with 1600 iso, SS 1/80 and I would use the flash. The other auto ISO 10000 and SS 1/200 for dancing floor.

Keeping my eye on x100 line, maybe get a V. Seems like a step up from F in terms of focus speed and lens sharpness.

To sum it up, the x100 is really fun camera to use. I will post a few photos shortly...
