FujiFilm Video part 1

[greybeard]

Here are the first three video tags for recent Fuji X series cameras:

0x3803 identifies F-log/HLG recording mode

0x0 => Normal mode
0x10 => F-log
0x20 => HLG

0x3804 Peripheral Light Correction

0x0 Peripheral Light Correction Off
0x1 Peripheral Light Correction On

0x3806 identifies Move Compression

0x1 => Long GOP
0x2 => All Intra

0x3810 Codec

0x10005 H.264
0x10004 H.265 (HEVC)

Thanks!

I have a number of videos with the Codec tag defined, but they all show a video CompressorID of "avc1".  Would you have any idea as to the meanings of these?:

Unknown (0x80060001) avc1 X-A5
Unknown (0x80070000) avc1 FinePix XP120 XP121 XP125

Also, are these names OK for the other tags?:

F-logRecordingMode
PeripheralLighting
MoveCompensation

And one more thing:  Could you tell me the format of these 3 tags from the -v2 output?  The Codec tag is "int32u[1]", but I don't have any samples with these other tags so I don't know their formats.

That codec tag is obviously much more complex than I thought.

For the X-T3 the values are 0x10004 and 0x10005 and correspond to h.265 and h.264 - the X-T30 has only the value 0x10005 and only shoots in h.264.
For the X-T2 the only value is 0x10002 and only shoots in h.264.

Given the other values you have I'm not sure what conclusions we can draw.

========================================================
The other names are OK except for the third (I had a typo in my original post):

F-logRecordingMode
PeripheralLighting
MovieCompression

Here is the -v2 output:

  | | | | | 30) FujiFilm_0x3803 = 32
  | | | | |     - Tag 0x3803 (4 bytes, int32u[1])
  | | | | | 31) FujiFilm_0x3804 = 1
  | | | | |     - Tag 0x3804 (2 bytes, int16u[1])
  | | | | | 32) FujiFilm_0x3805 = 1
  | | | | |     - Tag 0x3805 (2 bytes, int16u[1])
  | | | | | 33) FujiFilm_0x3806 = 1
  | | | | |     - Tag 0x3806 (2 bytes, int16u[1])

Great, thanks.

I'll leave 0x3810 Codec as a comment in the code for now.

I've re-thought the tag names and am thinking that this may be better:

0x3803 VideoRecordingMode
0x3804 PeripheralLighting
0x3806 VideoCompression

Sounds good - there are a few more that are currently unknown but seem to be video related
