Your videos are the best go to help with Fuji cameras. I just bought my first Fuji and despite 70 years of photography experience, I was very confused. Your videos are very clear and useful. Thank you!!!
This is a great video and I'll be watching the others too, the Fuji XT30 is my first 'proper' camera and after going through the manual and getting frustrated you've made this easy to understand, so useful and informative. I'm looking forward to trying it out now. :-)
Great vlog, I am going to pick this camera up tommorow and I sure going to put the settings with help of this fine vlog! Thank you! (I sure going to look at all the vlogs in this Tutorials.)
Yes I was confused by this for a while. The answer is that some of the movie settings are now in the AF/MF menu and show up when you are in Movie mode. This would seem to be a sensible move.
Thank you for the info. Received my new X-T30 just in time for my Kalahari trip and now need to learn about it before I go. This video has been super helpful.
Great video, my girlfriend asked me how I could even understand what you're even saying as I listened in x2 speed but it was crystal clear. Really informative.
Great video, thank you. I'm not sure which menu option I accidently touch but the SS indicator only shows up in the LCD when I press the shutter button half way.
@@WaiYingLam Crazy busy here. Not sure if you are a into reading. I came across David Goggins book "Can't Hurt Me" powerful read. I encourage you to check it out. The guys story is fascinating. I hope all is well with you. Look forward to more Fiju news and tips. Keep going my friend, your efforts are appreciated.
Hi Wai, Thanks for this introduction. I am a new x-t30 owner and find the Q menu button and the squares that come up most confusing. If you could scope in on that function slowly for a novice like myself it would be most appreciated and very helpful. Thanks
Great helpful video. One question though. I have my screen view set the way I'd like it set but the RV view is somewhat different. An example is the histogram ... shows on the screen but not in the EV. Any way to make to make the EV view the same as the screen view ? Thanks very much !
Great video ! So much info in short period of time. One question: I bought xt30 with kit lens 18-55mm which felt a bit tighter while zoom in and out comparing to other lens of different dslr cameras. Is it normal? How does the camera auto focuses if it’s too tight for itself to adjust the zoom?
My 18-55 does not feel tight because I bought them used. My 55-200 does feel tight when zooming out and it's perfectly fine. Focusing should not be affected by the zoom mechanic, if you are not having issue with focus, I think it will eventually wear in with use. If you are really worried, I would go to a camera store that sell fuji cameras and have them take a look at it.
Great video anyone else noticed an issue with the evf on manual setting with on eye sensor mode on? Sometimes if I take my eye away and go back to the evf the brightness drops.
Great video! I was wondering what’s the best settings to save battery for photos and video. I saw you touched on that with a couple setting but are there more, of course keeping LCD off will help but what about EVF settings. THANKS FOR YOUR TUTORIALS
I would leave on continuous but if you want to save battery life you can use shooting only which means it will turn on when the shutter is half pressed.
Hi, Is there anyone that does cheat sheets for XT30? i used to have them for my Nikon... So helpful for a Grani like me that has a short term memory condition... I am happy to pay for them. But they were laminated cards that were for different situations... Settings for portrait, action, landscape, lowlight etc etc. If you or anyone can help! Thank you...
Hi there, and thank you for the video it is very helpful. I set up the camera to detect faces and eyes and it is not tracking them. Also it is in auto focus mode and it is not tracking the objects around or whatever exists if it landscape.. I want to use those features they are very useful. Could you please tell me how to make it work? Thank you in advance.. :)
I am not able to use external flash with my Fuji xt200 in spite of being in mechanical shutter mode. Do I need to check any other setting. Please help me if you can.
I just got the xt30 and i can’t seem to snap pictures?! it’s so frustrating 🤨 please help me how i can take pic? i have memory card on, bought the lens but i can’t snap pictures.
On the 5th option of “View Modem EYE SENSOR + LCD IMAGE DISPLAY, i do not get image display after shoot image??? Do I have to set something up in menu?
Please help. I just got my XT30 and I figure the colors of live view screen doesn’t match with the playback screen. However the colors of live view screen match with the JPGs I took. The colors on the playback screen is kind of wash out. Is this normal or is there a solution? I’m new to Fuji cameras.
yes, it will be at least another year before the update comes and it will be getting firmware updates. Find a good sale or buy it used and you will be set.
just curious some of my settings under film simulation i can't access why is that? edit: figured that out but my IS MODE can't be changed not sure why?
Excellent. Just one thing that you subconsciously do. Please take this as constructive and not as an insult. Review this video....how many times do you say, “This is just my personal preference”. If you don’t explain a certain function, it is obviously a personal preference. But, I guess some viewers may need to hear it numerous times. All in all super useful video..thanks
Omg thank you, but please can I ask smth?Speak slower and pause a lil when you explain,it's my first camera ever and sounds like chinese to me sometimes lol

I’ve learned EVERYTHING i needed for this camera in less than 1hour. Thank you very much for this amazing video.
Just bought my XT 30 and this was the best video on settings I have watched (and I have watched heaps). Very helpful and easy to follow.
This has been so helpful the way you walk through everything and even give some explanation as well. Thank you very much.

i just got my xt-30 ii and i am following though your video. however, i dont seem to have a lot of video settings
Yes I was confused by this for a while. The answer is that some of the movie settings are now in the AF/MF menu and show up when you are in Movie mode. This would seem to be a sensible move.
Thank's a lot. My X-T30 will be delivered tomorrow and I will apply most of your settings to my X-T30.
Glad I could help Bernd, if you have any questions, let me know and I will do my best to help
That was very useful. I’ve had the xt20 for some time but I learned a lot with this vid
That was so useful for getting used to my new XT30. Many many thanks.

Richard, I'm glad I was able to help, have a great trip to the Kalahari!
Great video, my girlfriend asked me how I could even understand what you're even saying as I listened in x2 speed but it was crystal clear. Really informative.
Wow, i like doing fast videos already, going at x2 of that, im impressed
Wow! Great explanation, thank you!👍👍👍
I would always use the 3:2, so i get the maximum quality out of the aps-c sensor... You can crop the pick later...
Fantastically useful video. Thank you.
Hell! Thanks for your input and very helpful. Quick question. The film simulation mode is greyed out. Any clues?

Super useful tips for the settings. Thank you.

Hi Wai, Thanks for this introduction. I am a new x-t30 owner and find the Q menu button and the squares that come up most confusing. If you could scope in on that function slowly for a novice like myself it would be most appreciated and very helpful. Thanks
I will try John, it's a bit hard right now because of the lock down but ill put it on the list
Thank you Wai, any time at all in the future is most appreciated. Stay safe.
thank you, great set up video!

this video is very usefull! Thank you! what about the battery life? any tips to manage battery consumption?
Great video anyone else noticed an issue with the evf on manual setting with on eye sensor mode on? Sometimes if I take my eye away and go back to the evf the brightness drops.
hmmm, i have not notice but ill start looking for i now. Thanks for the heads up Ian
Should a new SD card always be formatted before first use?
Great video! I was wondering what’s the best settings to save battery for photos and video. I saw you touched on that with a couple setting but are there more, of course keeping LCD off will help but what about EVF settings.
THANKS FOR YOUR TUTORIALS
I think i cover all of the one i know of. Dont use boost mode, turn of lcd, turn on wifi/bluetooth, IOS on shoot only and use only electronic shutter.
dude, really appreciate this video. Would love to buy you a pint and a burger. I didn't loose hours of my life going through menu structures.
Hi thank you for this videos . I am currently trying to set up my camera. My Is mode is turned off, but I cannot turn it on. Can you help me?
Fujifilm XT30 How do I shoot video in the dark to see glowing objects? In total darkness how do you aim the camera?
Thank you very much for sharing the information.
I wish to seek for assistance that I can’t make any changes on the IS Mode? Kindly advise!
I would leave on continuous but if you want to save battery life you can use shooting only which means it will turn on when the shutter is half pressed.
@@WaiYingLam tqvm
I can't change the IS mode too. The IS mode font color is grey, not white and it is set to off, how to change it?
Very helpful video for me. 👍
Glad it was helpful!

your welcome reinout, glad it could help
Thanks! I am getting mine any day now. Is the shutter speed in movie mode also controlled by the dial? Or is it just auto?
you can control it with the dials
I am not able to use external flash with my Fuji xt200 in spite of being in mechanical shutter mode. Do I need to check any other setting. Please help me if you can.
X-T30 have a crop in 120/100fps? Also maybe you know, X-S10 or X-E4 or Z50 have a crop in slow motion?
I just got the xt30 and i can’t seem to snap pictures?! it’s so frustrating 🤨 please help me how i can take pic? i have memory card on, bought the lens but i can’t snap pictures.
i just bought my xt30 2 days ago and this is so infomative. me too im not a fon touch screen.
Glad I could help, thank you for leaving a comment
Hi Wai Lam, I wonder is there any way we can remove some of the information that we don't want on the Q menu display on the screen?
You can replace most things but I dont think you can removed them
Hi do xt30 can edit custom settings name? Instead of c1 c2 .. c7 can change it to your preferred name. Thanks.
Great video! This helped a lot to set up my camera , was more helpful than the manual, thank you! :)
Glad it helped!
On the 5th option of “View Modem
EYE SENSOR + LCD IMAGE DISPLAY, i do not get image display after shoot image??? Do I have to set something up in menu?
why do i only have 1 page of Movie Settings? Is it because of a firmware update?
Is there no way to control the file file size to small, medium, large raw?
Please help. I just got my XT30 and I figure the colors of live view screen doesn’t match with the playback screen. However the colors of live view screen match with the JPGs I took.

Helpful
Why are some of my options grayed out??
its is worth it to buy a xt30 on dec 2019
yes, it will be at least another year before the update comes and it will be getting firmware updates. Find a good sale or buy it used and you will be set.
Thank you for all off your info....
I'd wait until the new year you might get it cheaper in sales....
X-T30 body has no IS in body (IBIS) so IS option is for lens attached if that lens has IS ... right?
yes, OIS Optical Image Stabilization on the lens
I can not get going the build in flash working
just curious some of my settings under film simulation i can't access why is that?
edit: figured that out but my IS MODE can't be changed not sure why?
Superb!
What lens do you recommend to pair with the t30 for portraits?
Most people like the 50-140mm, 56mm, 80mm or 90mm. Those lens have great background separation from the subject.
Excellent.
Just one thing that you subconsciously do.
Please take this as constructive and not as an insult.
Review this video....how many times do you say, “This is just my personal preference”.
If you don’t explain a certain function, it is obviously a personal preference. But, I guess some viewers may need to hear it numerous times.
All in all super useful video..thanks
thank you very much!
you welcome Kostas, thank you for leaving a comment
How can I change 72dpi into 300dpi?
My is mode won’t turn on. How do I fix it?
I'm not sure why, i best advice to you is try to reset you camera to factor defaults and see if that fixes your problem
thank you again!
Glad to help out Dale, thank you for the comment
PS great vid.. very clear info
One thing I don't like about Fuji is their menu - that';s about it ; )
ya some of it could use a re-design but at this point there is so many option on most camera systems. Its going to take some time and effort to learn.
Omg thank you, but please can I ask smth?Speak slower and pause a lil when you explain,it's my first camera ever and sounds like chinese to me sometimes lol
such a great and simple video. thanks!!
