How does Fuji x 100f shoot the starry sky?

Turn the circle to the maximum F2, then turn on the manual focus, focus on the brighter star in the sky, and then it will be about iso800. The exposure time will be T-gate, and the manual setting is about 15 seconds. I took photos with 100t, and the operation of 100f should be the same. The most important thing is to have a tripod

In a better environment (no strong moonlight, no cloudy weather, no serious light pollution, usually just looking for a field or country), even a mobile phone can capture the stars, so don't be scared by the final answer. I can take photos with my mobile phone at least ten times in downtown Shenzhen, but the number of stars is very small.

brief introduction

Of course, the specific operation depends on the situation. Take a reservoir in Tunchang, Hainan at around 1 am as an example. Around the first day of the lunar calendar (the new moon, when the moonlight has the least influence on the sky), I experienced this personally.

The environment can almost be photographed by lifting it with a mobile phone. Looking up, you can see the starry sky, which is very shocking. In my impression, the camera parameters at that time should be F2.8, iso400, and then exposed for about 5 seconds, taking more than 600 shots in a row, and then stacked to form a star track.
