Waiting for delivery of my X-H2s. Question is should I shoot Raw+HEIF or Raw+JPEG. Specific use case is shooting kids sports activities. On my X-T2 I shoot Raw+JPEG. For weekly games I usually just download JPEG to Lightroom, cull, pick and then share JPEG with other parents. I may process some Raw for very low light images or images of my kids. Is there any reason to switch to HEIF?

Congrats on the new camera!

The Fuji HEIF (as I understand it HEIF =!= HEIF, different manufacturers = different HEIF files) format remains unsupported by Windows, i don’t know if it works on Mac. On a Windows PC you will be able to see only the preview as a very small JPEG but not the full resolution HEIF.

If you use a Windows machine and if you want to share images with others stick to JPEG. For everything else you have your RAF files.
