Of all the photography channels I watch, yours is the best regarding the actual teaching. It's not made complicated, it's clear, practical and I just get it with your style of teaching. I don't know if you are a teacher professionally but you have a great, and I mean this in a sincere way, slightly goofy delivery, but I love it.
I am very sure that even the folks in Fujifilm won’t know how much you know about their camera. Your videos are very useful to me as a new Fuji user. Thanks for all the effort you put in. Looking forward for more.
Another great video! This is a really good thing to enable if you're starting out to get a visual indicator of how DoF changes in various conditions. Enable it, go out and move, change settings, and get a real time indicator of how you can change the look of your shots without having to take a load and review them later. It also reinforces how Fuji could do with overhauling their menus. The three things required to enable/change how the DoF scale performs are in three separate places! Surely they can all be grouped together given they're likely all going to be set/changed together?
Another excellent tip. I have enabled both AF and MF depth scales on my X-Pro2, X-T2, X-T3 and X-T4. The best part of your videos is how clear you make the explanations. Many thanks.
Another example of why you and this channel kicks ass! I switched over to Fujifilm 2 years ago and because of awesome content like this, I keep learning new features this camera has and am blown away by how much is packed into my cam! Keep up the awesome work Master!
I am a young freelance videographer for a certain small company here in the Philippines. I have almost zero knowledge about Fujifilm except for the brand, of course it is popular, yet not affordable. All I use are devices that my boss let me use (Sony a6000, Canon 60D, and Sony a6300 if I am lucky enough). I am saving up to buy a 2nd hand XT200 (big amount for a youngster like me) because I was watching a lot of videos about it and just a week ago, I found your channel. I watched a lot and learned a lot from you but I realized that you're mostly on good tier cameras. I hope you will do reviews and lessons on the low-end of the market. I am not in good terms with my boss (dude even wants to decide on what camera I buy) and is about to leave the company, and I badly need tips to start. Thank you. So much love for your channel. 🙏🏻💖
Thank you for all of your videos. They are making my life so much easier. Anyway and interestingly enough, I wasn't able to the DoF scale when I tried to set it up. As it ends up, I had the screen icon set to large and that was preventing the scale from showing up. Once I retirned to the standard size icon, the scale appeared.
Thanks for this vlog Chris, I have just purchased an xt4 and am in the process of setting it up to match my xt3 and completely forgot about the depth of field indicator. You just saved me a lot of time searching through menus looking to activate this. I managed to get an xt4 at a really good price. I had resisted buying it thinking it was not a big enough upgrade from xt3, but wow was I wrong, ibis has transformed my older non ois lenses, the battery life is made in heaven, focus seems to be snappier, flippy screen and there is more !
Great video! I really love this feature and (having come of age when film and manual focus rings were the only options) do use it constantly when manually focusing. Still, I also find it useful with autofocus to get a decent indication of what distances/objects are in sharp focus vs. those areas in the frame more likely to render.. wait for it.. CIRCLES OF CONFUSION.
Hi Pal. Rageeth here from India.I have been grt admirer for your work . It would b grt if you could put some enlightened advices on the night shoot techniques using XT3.
How does that scale related to the hyperfocal distance, which according to lots of apps and charts, says my 14mm lens focused at about 2m at f16 will have everything from 0.64m to infinity on focus?
How accurate do you find the focus scale. Thank you for your continual explanations of Fuji gear. Having left this system after the XT 1 I am seriously thinking of moving back because of your videos
I missed that this can be enabled for AF mode, plus the explanation of the depth of field scale options. Always something new! Thanks for another great video. And the October cameos by Franken Berry and Count Chocula!
Hi Chris ( or all things Fuji) love looking at your videos. regarding this one my depth of field view is so small that the blue depth of field is so very small i can hardly see the blue area. I tried setting large icons but none of the options show this depth of field at the bottom of the frame. do you have any ideas? All the best....ken
Hi Chris, I'm a newcomer to Fujifilm and recently purchased the XT4 with the 16-80 kit lens along with the 35mm f2. I have been following your videos and am grateful for the way you present them, very useful for me as a new user. I followed your instructions for the depth of field settings but can not seem to make them show in the viewfinder/screen. Is there a setting I have previously made that would not be compatible with the settings for depth of field to show? Thanks in advance for any help you can give. Kind regards, Bill Scott ( Langholm, Scotland)
Thanks again for a very informative video. I could not see the distance scale until Large Indicators were turned off, did I miss that point. Also yes it works on my XT4 when in manual mode but although the distance indicators appear in the LCD/EVF in S or C there is no distance mark or blue depth showing. It doesn't seem to matter whether the AF box is checked in Display Custom settings or not. Any thoughts? I do enjoy you channel which been a great help since I moved over to Fuji. Thanks again.
There are some items in the GRiii menu that nobody can explain, maybe that would be a good reason to bring Ricoh GR in you videos too! Those that know it all usually skip those items!!! Now I go learn about circle of confusion!🍻🙏
Thanks for the explanation. A topic not really close to this, but I think you have a good answer. I have not found any video of yours that explained it at least? Full frame vs crop, what does it actually mean, and why does it matter for me? AND on lenses that are for cropped cameras they also say this is equivalent to... and then a higher mm after that. Does it really mean that you get in closer with a lens for a cropped camera or what is this. Might be a video there:)
Thanks! I'd forgotten I had this feature on my XT3. But wait....it's not there😩 A few minutes later....found it. I don't think the distance scale is available in you have "large indicators mode" selected.
can you explain the Infiniti focus on Fuji lenses please? I noticed on my Fuji lenses if I crank it all the way toward infinity it indicates farther than infinity. What’s the deal? Thank you very much love your channel.
Just to confirm, the depth of field distance being registered is the distance between the sensor of the camera and the in-focus item, not the distance from the end of the lens to the in-focus item, correct?
OK, after some more work I see the problem. I have set up my XT4 to use "back button" focus. This produces the desired result in Manual but if the shutter release focus (half press) is set to off so focus lock is only set by the back button then it doesn't work with mode S or C. To see the focus point and depth of field you have to set the shutter release to focus on (for half press). Martin
Just a slight correction. The difference between film and pixel basis has much more to do with image size and viewing distance, rather than prints vs. screen viewing. It just happens to be true that typical print sizes are relatively small compared to the huge monitors that we use today, and we have a bad habit of pixel peeping. Smaller JPEGs on Instagram, etc. are more comparable to prints in this respect. In other words, there are definitely certain situations in which film basis DoF may be appropriate in the digital realm. There may also be situations when pixel basis may be more appropriate for some print work (such as extremely large, hi resolution prints).
I have a topic, maybe? Again thanks for your videos. I bought the 35 Tamron 1.4...it does not have an apature ring. I have an adaptor that mounts F mouth to X mount. I have not taken photos for a couple of years and forgotten how to change the apature in camera on the XT3. Can you do a video on using non native lenses without ring
DoF display (blue bar) does not appear if focus is decoupled from shutter (half-press), as in BBF. In BBF, pressing the AF on assigned button doesn’t cause blue DoF to turn on. Compromise, compromise. (Wish all lenses had the old printed DoF scale.)
hello I have a question for you ... I have a gfx50r if I pass in a recipe saved on the camera it no longer recognizes continuous fire but goes into single even if the switch is on afc ... if instead I put the same parameters on the base profile it works quietly. is it a firmware or autofocus problem? thanks for everything you do in the channel !!!
The topic I like to hear is the ADV - FILTER SETTINGS, because I love B&W with only YELLOW or RED colors mixed. I'll like to know why the X-T4 is taking just .JPG images and not RAW? And if there is any possibility in a future Fujifilm update that they can add RAW files for ADV-FILTER SETTING? Can you suggest my question to Fujifilm? Thank you pal2tech!
I can’t seem to see my depth of field scale in manual or auto focus. I’ve selected both from the custom display setting as shown in the video but it doesn’t appear at all whether half pressing the shutter button or not or rotating the focus ring. Could something else be taking it off the screen ?
Is there a way to turn off the permanent display of the focus scale indicator in mf mode? I feel like when I got my new XT-30 II a while ago, the bar only appeared when I pulled the focus and then disappeared again. I had it turned off for a while and now that I have it turned on again, it is always displayed, which is distracting to me. I can't figure it out, please help!
Same for me. I use back button focus ...is that relevant? EDIT: I discovered that I had to set Large Indicators to OFF for the scale to show on the LCD.
Wow, thank you so much for doing this!! This means a lot to me and really helps out the channel!!! You ROCK!!! Thanks again for your kind donation and all the best to you!!!
Hi Chris. Very interesting. I have a xt3. I select the MF distance indicator but I don't see the blue bar in the bottom of the screen. Do I have to change another setting ? Thank you. Have a great weekend ! EDIT : with great advice from others comments, I found what to do. Under screen set up, large indicators mode need to be off! Thank you so much !
It only works with either Fuji or other lenses that have electronic connections to the camera. Does not work for manual lenses, like TTArtisan for example.
Hi... I watch and enjoy your videos but I wanted to point out something you may have got wrong here. When you described "film" vs "pixel" basis for depth of field you described the pixel basis as being for "screen viewing." Actually this is incorrect. Film basis is what the eye sees either in a print or on a screen. It means the photo is acceptably sharp for that entire focal depth/range. "Pixel basis" on the other hand, describes what it would actually mean if you were to zoom in and pixel peep the image - that is the range that will be totally crisp, sharp, and in focus even under magnification at the "pixel" level. This is why that focal depth is much shallower than in the "film" setting because the latter describes acceptable sharpness for viewing purposes (as in a print or screen) whereas "pixel basis" is the actual depth of field that is completely in focus when enlarged and viewed right down to the actual pixel level. Hope that helps and keep up the great work!
Well, I watched several times, but have not been able to see this DOF indicator appear. Is it possible that the X-S10 is missing this feature ? I have set up AF using tips from your other videos and all good on that end.... I even tried to set up the "preview depth of Field" p 85 of the User manual to the FN dial, was not able to find PDoF as a button option.
well, um, i noodled about until trying manual focus mode that there is was. Sigh.. Reminds me of a course in expert systems, where there are leaps in the details that an expert provides, because they just make logic jumps that the less indoctrinated can't quite duplicate.
Great video. Thanks for digging into this function of Fuji camera. However, I do find that the depth of field(Dof) scale to be "very incorrect"! I have X-H2 with XF27mm R WR F2.8 , both with latest firmware. I set the aperture at 8.0, focus distance at 3 meters, this should give me about a total of 6.8 meter Dof, things from 1.8 meter to 8.6 meter should be mostly in acceptable focus. But on the X-H2 Dof scale, the blue Dof scale would only give me about 1 meter Dof, roughly from 3 meter to 4 meter. Even if I set the aperture to 16.0, the X-H2 blue scale would only give me 2 meter Dof, from 3 meter to 5 meter. This is not acceptable. Also, the white distance indicator is not reliable. Lots of disscusion about this issue on Reddit, and 95% of the users suggest this function to be "turned off", because it's so incorrect.
Thanks for a great channel! On the topic of depth of field: I am struggling to find a way to use the focus peaking (I use red) to show DOF. While focusing, manually or with back button, the aperture always stays wide open. The aperture is not activated until you half-press the exposure-button - and at that moment the focus peaking turns off. I find this annoying, and somewhat pointless. After all, I want to check the focus *with* the chosen aperture. Preferably *while* I adjust focus and aperture. Is there a way to fix this? (PS. My eyesight isn’t what I could wish for, so for practical reasons, I rely heavily on focus peaking. I use the X-T3 and X-E2.)
Another little gem from pal2tech. But does the depth of field scale apply to the X-S10. I have the relevant boxes ticked but cannot get a scale to display even with large size icons set to off or am I missing something obvious.
My mistake. I thought I had the large LCD icons off but obviously not. When I checked and made sure they were really off the DOF scale appeared at the bottom of the LCD. Apologies for the query
MF focusing issue. My manual distance indicator for some reason does not work! as the the bar comes up on screen which shows the distance but the blue bar that moves while changing the focus wont come up on screen for some reason. can someone help? that you see on the timestamp 0:49
I'm really hoping a nuke or EMP goes boom, and soon, so surviving "photographers" can find out what it was like to learn photography on a Pentax K1000.
An hour glass tipped on it's side, and there's your circle of confusion. And if that's hard to imagine, just squint. But there are people out there that only want the cheesecake. Not the cookbook. The trick is to make sure you're not buying it.
Being q Fujifilm man does not go well together with being a Mac guy. Fuji is all about granular controls and tweeking. Mac is always second guessing the user and doing what it wants to do. That is why most of your followers are android/PC persons

Always a pleasure to watch you and learn with fun all the possibilities of fujifilm .. i had the Xt1 then Xt3 no switching to 100V !!
As always a greatly useful video, Chris. So many features that are hidden or misunderstood that you have made clear. Thank you!
Thank you for all of your videos. They are making my life so much easier. Anyway and interestingly enough, I wasn't able to the DoF scale when I tried to set it up. As it ends up, I had the screen icon set to large and that was preventing the scale from showing up. Once I retirned to the standard size icon, the scale appeared.

so well explained - thank you!
Great video, always find you videos help me relax as I get better from covid. Keep em coming!
Great video Chris👍 very helpful explanation
Thanks Dan!!! 🙏
this feature is very helpful, especially when youre manual focusing in a hurry.
I Watch your program frequently you are a master piece in photography which Fujifilm camera you prefer
Thank you Colin!!! 🙏
Excellent again. this will be really helpful to me. Thanks

I'd say Pixel.

In screen set-up, Large indicators mode (LCD) needs to be Off.

Thanks 😀
Hey thanks for this video! I sent you an email yesterday during the stream regarding a question I asked and you didn't answer yet.
Thanks! I'd forgotten I had this feature on my XT3. But wait....it's not there😩 A few minutes later....found it. I don't think the distance scale is available in you have "large indicators mode" selected.
Thank you for this. Can you make a video on exporting on final cut pro or adobe with Fuji film that would be amazing too!!
Thank you, keep it up
Hello sir. I love your videos. could you make one how to connect xt4 with raven eye? thank you
Thank you😁
Great video! Does anyone know when we could expect the announcement of the x-t5 release date?
can you explain the Infiniti focus on Fuji lenses please? I noticed on my Fuji lenses if I crank it all the way toward infinity it indicates farther than infinity. What’s the deal? Thank you very much love your channel.
I couldn't find the pixel/format on my X-T200, but I found the blue scale for DOF :-)
Just to confirm, the depth of field distance being registered is the distance between the sensor of the camera and the in-focus item, not the distance from the end of the lens to the in-focus item, correct?

It does not look like this setting is linked to focus peaking. Am I right and what are your thoughts about that?
The topic I like to hear is the ADV - FILTER SETTINGS, because I love B&W with only YELLOW or RED colors mixed. I'll like to know why the X-T4 is taking just .JPG images and not RAW? And if there is any possibility in a future Fujifilm update that they can add RAW files for ADV-FILTER SETTING? Can you suggest my question to Fujifilm? Thank you pal2tech!
Hi pal2tech i have the BAR along the bottom of the screen , but not the BLUE showing me the distance can you tell me why ?
I can’t seem to see my depth of field scale in manual or auto focus. I’ve selected both from the custom display setting as shown in the video but it doesn’t appear at all whether half pressing the shutter button or not or rotating the focus ring. Could something else be taking it off the screen ?
Does this work for after market lenses with manual focus
Is there a way to turn off the permanent display of the focus scale indicator in mf mode? I feel like when I got my new XT-30 II a while ago, the bar only appeared when I pulled the focus and then disappeared again. I had it turned off for a while and now that I have it turned on again, it is always displayed, which is distracting to me. I can't figure it out, please help!
Hi, both manual and auto are on but nothing even when I press the shutter halfway
Same for me. I use back button focus ...is that relevant? EDIT: I discovered that I had to set Large Indicators to OFF for the scale to show on the LCD.
Thanks!

I can't get that DoF scale on my xt4... I'm doing the exact same thing as explained in the video
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Well, I watched several times, but have not been able to see this DOF indicator appear. Is it possible that the X-S10 is missing this feature ? I have set up AF using tips from your other videos and all good on that end.... I even tried to set up the "preview depth of Field" p 85 of the User manual to the FN dial, was not able to find PDoF as a button option.
well, um, i noodled about until trying manual focus mode that there is was. Sigh.. Reminds me of a course in expert systems, where there are leaps in the details that an expert provides, because they just make logic jumps that the less indoctrinated can't quite duplicate.
So it looks like choosing pixel vs. film just changes the acceptable CoC. Have you figured out what CoC values the different cameras use?
Fantastic. I've been struggling to get the indicators up on both my xs10 and xh1. Your tip on large indicators being off solved it.
Great video. Thanks for digging into this function of Fuji camera.
However, I do find that the depth of field(Dof) scale to be "very incorrect"! I have X-H2 with XF27mm R WR F2.8 , both with latest firmware.

Even if I set the aperture to 16.0, the X-H2 blue scale would only give me 2 meter Dof, from 3 meter to 5 meter. This is not acceptable. Also, the white distance indicator is not reliable.

To be more specific: It is when I want to use a really narrow DOF this is a problem.
Another little gem from pal2tech. But does the depth of field scale apply to the X-S10. I have the relevant boxes ticked but cannot get a scale to display even with large size icons set to off or am I missing something obvious.
that is odd. Dammit I wish I had an XS10 to look at. Anyone else on here know about this and can answer?
I can't get it to appear on my X-T4 either. I wonder if there is some other check box that needs to be un-checked before this will display.
My mistake. I thought I had the large LCD icons off but obviously not. When I checked and made sure they were really off the DOF scale appeared at the bottom of the LCD. Apologies for the query
I turned off large icons but still can't get the DOF to display.
I like the bottle of whiskey! Yeahhhh
Set up as suggeted with NO blue scale eveident. Does something else need to be switched on?
Make sure you aren’t in large indicators mode.
@@pal2tech Fabulous. Thank you so much. Hope you are eeping well. All the best from UK
@@geoffwilson1519 Hey guys...still no blue bar on my xt-3. Large indicators are off. Any other ideas?
MF focusing issue. My manual distance indicator for some reason does not work! as the the bar comes up on screen which shows the distance but the blue bar that moves while changing the focus wont come up on screen for some reason. can someone help? that you see on the timestamp 0:49
When’s the review on Woodford’s Reserve? Or did that have something to do with focus and dof?
I'm really hoping a nuke or EMP goes boom, and soon, so surviving "photographers" can find out what it was like to learn photography on a Pentax K1000.
An hour glass tipped on it's side, and there's your circle of confusion. And if that's hard to imagine, just squint. But there are people out there that only want the cheesecake. Not the cookbook. The trick is to make sure you're not buying it.
Being q Fujifilm man does not go well together with being a Mac guy. Fuji is all about granular controls and tweeking. Mac is always second guessing the user and doing what it wants to do. That is why most of your followers are android/PC persons
