- The Fuji X-T2 is what's known as an ISO invariant camera, or ISO-less camera. What this means in practical terms is that, in certain shooting situations, you might be able to get a better result, by using a lower ISO than you think you need. When any camera reads data off of its image sensor, that data needs to be amplified before it can be processed. When you increase the ISO on a camera, you're turning up the amount of amplification of the raw sensor data. This makes fainter bits of data more pronounced, which is why this change results in lower light levels being more visible in your final image. They've been amplified. And, of course, when you increase the amplification, you also increase the visibility of any noise that's coming off the sensor, and that appears in your final image as grainy patterns. This is how ISO works on all digital cameras, and it's how it works on the X-T2, but only up to ISO 1600. When you increase ISO past 1600 on the X-T2, you're not increasing…
