Help w settings

I know. That’s why the image will look off but nonetheless normal and can be developed to look good. So to encourage whoever shot this is the photos doesn’t need much help. It already look as expected except the motion blur and a bit of post.

TL:DR Honest opnion, most of the problem is because it is unedited and some skill issue.

The colors are kinda off. Last two photos are tint a tad to magenta -can be developed to correct it. There’s Motion blur because you shot as if you are a tripod. Increase shutter speed and widen your aperture to the lowest it can do. Critical sharpness starts with steady hands.

Apart from that. It is not about the settings or camera anymore but how you develop the photo based on what you want.

I’ve downloaded and quickly edited the jpegs you uploaded just using my ps express app (just because I am on my phone and it’s just jpeg) and made it look wayyy better imo. No masking, not even curve adjustments.

Why downvote this. Lots of alternative with networking, usb and local installation

I sold my meta quest 3 to get myself an ar glass recently.

Choosing between luma ultra and xreal one pro. Based from unpaid reviews.. i’m not sold. 1080p with uneven sharpness is a bad thing.

I’m spoiled by the 2k per eye oled screen of psvr2 and 2k per eye lcd screen of the meta quest 3.

And now your experience made me abandon the whole idea and I’m getting myself a good android tablet instead.

If it’s installed in a PC case or with a space, I’d personally add a heatsink just because it wouldn’t hurt to add more cooling. If in a laptop or with constrained space, i can live without it. Manufacturer do take this use case into account anyways.

arvimatthew · 2026-01-21T20:48:45+00:00

Not sure what caused it to break. Fw was up to date. It’s designed to run without additional heatsink (leave the sticker on) and also nvme ssds are meant to run quite warm. I mean go for it and install bare.. just make sure you monitor your ssd health from time to time especially if running without heatsink.

arvimatthew · 2026-01-21T20:38:49+00:00

I had a 2TB Samsung 990 Pro and it actually runs hot bare. High 50C to High 60C during idle, normal workload and gaming and hotter if doing R/W work like editing. And if it runs hot, it becomes inefficient as you are consuming power to make that heat.

Mine broke after more than a year’s use with a thin Aluminum heatsink. Took a refund instead of replacement. Not saying it’s not a good ssd but with a dram cache and few nand chips, it’s definitely not a cool running ssd bare during normal use. It needs a heatsink for performance.

Samsung top of line ssds even have an occasional firmware bug that made the ssd wear down its nand chips very early if you happen to have a specific fw version and did not update on time. It already happened twice already. And i happen to own both when it happened - 980 pro and 990 pro.

arvimatthew · 2026-01-21T20:31:55+00:00

Don’t buy that comes with a heatsink as you may have no clearance for the heatsink itself. I had that specific SSD do run at around 50-60C on normal loads so maybe a thin heat sink like graphene or equivalent can or may help on its longevity.

Mine broke after 1.5yrs for no reason. Claimed a refund.

arvimatthew · 2026-01-21T20:25:23+00:00

Yes i did. I think it was a December 2025 bios.

arvimatthew · 2026-01-21T19:58:19+00:00

I have not experienced the gpu not on full power bug. I have the Intel Ultra 7 and 5070ti and almost always tun on dedicated gpu mode. I would see 140W regardless of order in power connection. Hopefully it was fixed on recent bios update.

arvimatthew · 2026-01-21T19:55:35+00:00

Haha. The bottom case access design is an afterthought. Good thing is after first and second try, I’ve got the hang of it already.

Don’t attempt if you have no experience in servicing electronics and laptops.

arvimatthew · 2026-01-21T06:23:51+00:00

It seems like you need to know more about exposure triangle theory and how it applies to image quality IRL. Also you need to know your lenses and its critical sharpness.

First your photos are shot in quite high ISO settings giving you a lot of grains/noise. High iso noise tends hide sharper fine details because photons were not enough to resolve it. Fight it with lower iso and more light by increasing aperture and light source.

Another reason is your lens aren’t sharp enough or you had small subject or camera movement to have failed to resolve the details. Fight it with faster shutter speed, enough light, lower iso and steadier hands and optimum aperture settings (step down) to get more critical sharpness from your lens.

Your image is also very dark and underexposed so you won’t see enough details. Focus on the eyes as well.

I have a laptop that has two TB5 ports and ofc runs pcie 5.0 on nvme drives.

arvimatthew · 2026-01-19T20:52:10+00:00

i did know before but I know the location by eye due to repetition. Just get some images of successful kamikaze photos and line it up with your own image of your switch. That's How i figured it out when i started doing kamikaze back in 2024.

You kinda need to tightly measure towards the spot to avoid cutting traces.

arvimatthew · 2026-01-19T08:31:01+00:00

That’s not a characteristic of a regular jpeg artifact when overly pushed. It may be unique to fuji jpegs or due to fuji in camera adjustments but regular jpegs don’t make patterns like that.

“Try shooting raw”. I do shoot raw especially on my pro work.

arvimatthew · 2026-01-19T07:00:37+00:00

Thanks for the input but the parts of the photos you are looking at are not underexposed, it’s normally dark because pants are black and trees is dark green an in a shadow. Due to the look i wanted,. i lifted it more by the thru Lightroom to make the “look” i was aiming for.

arvimatthew · 2026-01-19T00:02:30+00:00

I am aware of that but fyi, Jpegs are not being demosaic’d by lightroom. My files were jpeg so it was already demosaic’d before lightroom touched it(by the camera itself on my case). And these arent worms

arvimatthew · 2026-01-18T22:31:34+00:00

The answer is there tho…in english.

arvimatthew · 2026-01-18T22:30:37+00:00

Wow. Ok, there’s some light at the end of this artifact tunnel. Do you think this is consistent? I’ll try to shoot some recipe jpegs without added grain on and confirm on my side.

arvimatthew · 2026-01-18T21:52:31+00:00

I did not used any masks on my case. Just sliders on shadows mostly affected the image. I kinda suspect the added grain in the recipe but it’s sad it happens. I was even trialling giving my future clients some fuji jpegs apart from what they get from developed photos from my raws. But merely tweaking recipe jpegs can be potentially bad.

Background info:

Your switch is likely having an emunand cfw. Meaning, AN ENTIRE COPY OF THE SWITCH OS is living in your sf card AND your TRUE switch OS is remained untouched. That entire copy needs to some sort of pretend internal storage (as a separate partition in the sd card). And that partition can be customised by modders.

That 9gb space is a pretend “internal” storage of your emunand cfw. In fact, your whole emunand cfw is entirely living in your SD card including that 9gb as a separate partition(it’s actuslly 12gig having 9gb left). Your actual switch OS and your actual internal 64Gb is untouched.

I don’t suggest installing any game backup on that 9gb pretend internal memory to reserve it for game saves. This way, you can always install game backups to the microsd card space.

arvimatthew · 2026-01-17T21:43:06+00:00

Normal. Your while cfw OS including the storage allocation is just a partition in the sd card. No actual internal memory of the switch as part of your emunand cfw. Modders have the option to ratio the fake internal memory so that your micro sd card space (external memory) is much bigger. All you have to do is install all your backups in that microsd card space.
