Anyone using Fuji S100fs?

[LandPirate]

I just bought a Fuji FinePix S100fs and I'm looking for pointers in things to avoid, tricks, etc.

Anyone else using the S100 or other FinePix S camera?

I've got a Finepix S100fs and love it ... except for one thing, whne shooting using RAW file format (Fuji call it RAF for some reason) I cannot enhance in Photoshop CS2. I have to open the RAW file in Picasa or Fujifinepix viewer and convert to a TIFF before I can "play" in Photoshop. Has anyone any other suggestion?

I don't have a S100fs but I love that camera. I was planing to buy it before I got my D60. I think it's a great camera, but it is over-priced. And I can't believe that Fuji still keeps its price so high! And it also has veery large RAW files. Mavis, maybe you should try to update your Camera Raw software. Just guessing.

I have this camera, it take's beautiful pictures. Just one thing to watch out for. The paint on the buttons ware off. I use this camera as my side kick. I've taken Great shot's with this camera. If I'm going to a all day event taking pic's all day it pays off because it's nice & lite. I never shot RAW with this camera though. Other wise it's a great camera.

I have a Fuji S100FS and a S9100. I love them both. They, for the most part, do the same thing, but are very different. I've taken great photos with them.

I have been using the s100 for some time now,
I have no Complaints at all and find this camera works well in all conditions,
I use RAF (RAW) 90% o the time and use a little program called s7raw
this is were i found it.

Raw picture

I had a problem finding my cd with fp viewer and raw converter. hence the info on s7raw.
this is nearly imposable to replace.So back up that cd i created an iso witch i have stored safe now for future use.

On another note Can anyone please help me out
I have 2 4gb sd cards formated FAT
and 1 32gb sd/hc card formatted FAT32

my problem is my camera will only use 4gb of the 32gb card before giving file read errors?
IS this a format problem a camera limitation with sd/hc or just a faulty card ie should I be able to use max storage space on this card..

have googled for answers wit no luck

"On another note Can anyone please help me out

it sounds as if the cards were formatted in the PC - try formatting them in the camera. I use 8 & 16 Gb SDHC cards with no problem.

Nice camera, isn't it?

The first thing to try is to update your Camera RAW - here's the link;

Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows : Camera Raw 3.7 update

assuming that you're using Windows.

If that doesn't fix it you can use the Adobe DNG converter

Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 6.1 update

which will give you DNG files you can open in Camera RAW.

And there's always RAW Therapee, of course - very good but takes some learning!
