I recently got a Fuji XT-20. Thank you so much for your tutorials Omar 🙏 we all really appreciate it
I've had the X-T10 and X-T20 for over a year and love both !!
Get the xc 35mm f2, it's great for the price.
Good
I’ve just got my fuji XT-3 and got confused how to use. After this video i became like ‘woww i seeee’ thanks for the explaining in detail and explaining way, mimic gives great impression people who watch. Thanks again you tha best Omar🤞🏼
I own a number of Fuji cameras and your explanation / demonstration of this is great. You kept it simple and relatable that anyone should be able to understand. A follow-up video going into the AF Custom settings would be a good compliment to this.
Hey, this is one of the most important topics regarding camera settings. Please do more of that, af modes are very interesting! Thanks!
❤️ became a fuji XT-30 owner watching ur videos. Still learning from your videos. Thank you 😘
Best autofocus video I have ever seen. Thank you! I all makes sense now!
Countless times that I have reviewed this video. Always learned when watching it again. Determined to use XT3 on action sports! Cheers
The XT3 is definitely not an "action sport" camera. If you are looking to capture fast motion try Sony or Canon.
Thanks for sharing. You have that talent to make complex topics digestible and being entertaining at the same time. Kudos Omar!
New to photography and Fuji and I am learning and really enjoying your sense of humor. Thanks
Thanks Omar ! You're making complex things simple with your usual common sense !
Informative video. Note that at 6:02 you recommend single focus but the video shows Continuous focus. Keep doing those useful videos. I love my X T20
imo, these Fujis are just so good even at high ISOs. Personally, I blast my X-E3 and X-T3 up to 12800 if need be. Noise be damned, I'm getting that shot! lol. Thanks for the cool video Omar!
holly damn, I couldn't get myself to go higher than 1200 iso for a good while ! xD
@@migneault62 i feel people these days are way too fixated on having the cleanest image possible and will actually choose to NOT take that important photo, all because the ISO was too high and may be a little noisy. I was like that when I was a noob, and I deeply regret it. I potentially missed my best shots because of it. It was very stupid. I mean, yeah there are limits to how high you can go, but it's not that bad.
Back around the days when I started photography around '06, my Canon 30D's ISO 800 was the highest I'd go because it turned really bad after that, and I used it for 10 years. In retrospect, it wasn't that bad, tbh. But compared to that, a Fuji's 12800 is nothing.
Wanako Plays!
I totally agree. I was the same way with my Canon 60D. Now I have auto ISO set to max out at 12800. A slightly noisy shot is better than no shot because it’s 5 stops underexposed. That’s really the worst it is with modern cameras: slightly noisy.
Great tips as always 👍 Thanks for doing it with the XT2 ❤️
Omar the unsurpassed, ever! Well done!
Outstanding video. Very clear and to the point - and - I liked the summary at the end. Thank you!
Love your tutorials Omar. This one was a great help for me.
Finally my SUMO wrestling photos will be in focus ;)
Your videos and delivery is excellent - thanks so much
There are only a few I watch for photography and Omar is the very best for user experience types of videos and instruction for getting the most out of your cameras especially Fuji but any brand really.
Thanks 👍 made my day!!
Thank you for excellent video, best wishes...
Brilliant as always, thanks for such a great and clear explanation
I just got a XT2, this tutorial was awesome. Thank you!
Super useful tips mate! The 2d 3d concept to decide point/zone and AFS/AFC is very clear!
Thanks for the advice, Omar! 🤙🏼
nice Omar! More confident with my Fuji.. thanks! auto subscribe
This video was super helpful. I’ve been shooting martial art tournaments with my XT-2. I’ll give your tips a try.
Very good video and easy to understand. Many thanks!
Thank you Omar for these explanations. You make it look so simple. Thanks so much...
Thank you for taking time to share your knowledge Omar. Your video's are very helpful and fun to watch. Have a great day!!
Great video(s) of you, Omar ☺
Thx a lot from germany
Gretings from México, excuse me the focus is the same for vídeo ?
Forgot for a moment how good thisman is
This is one of your best videos to date awesome job man.
Appreciate your videos... very informative. teaching for free. Respect. Thanks omar!
perfect summary! very appreciated
very very interesting Omar !
Thank you so much
⛹🏽♀️📷📷📷
Thanks for the informative video and tutorial Omar. I’ve learn a lot from your video
Thanks for the tutorial, your content made me switch ti Fuji and I love it!
Great timing as basketball season starts for my kids. Awesome video hermano.
Your son has quite a vertical leap. Impressive!
Thanks for the tutorial Omar. I do believe I understand what to do now with a faster subject. I'll find out next time out with my camera (tomorrow).
Awesome video! You nailed it!
Thank you for the tutorial. Really appreciate it!
Thank you Omar, really appreciate these quick guides.. definitely helps the beginners.
Omar I love your reviews and tutorials. This was especially helpful in understanding the use of zone focusing and how fast a shutter speed you use. Photographing fast action in the local high school gyms often poses 2 problems for me. The first is White Balance because of the odd mix of lights employed and the second is the lack of sufficient light to have fast shutter speeds even at high ISO. The first issue I solved using custom WB settings. I recently purchased a collapsible neutral gray and white uh... thingy to set the WB. Before that I either let auto WB struggle or sometimes found a white wall in the gym to use to set WB. But I digress. To solve the second problem of the low light I have tried setting the exposure compensation to -1 or lower, to capture darker images. This allowed for faster shutter speeds. I used RAW and then boosted the exposure back up in post processing.
Very helpful, thank you!
Thank you Omar! So helpful this one :) I have xt3 and 56 1.2 and struggle with this exact issue! Will let you know how I get on :)
This was perfect, thank you 🙏🏽
Appreciate the knowledge share!
This was actually quite helpful
Really well explained. Doing Gig Photography getting that sharp focus is so hard especially in low light while trying not to go crazy with the ISO. Going to experiment a little though with some of what you mentioned here.
Very good, thank you Omar
Thank you so much Omar!!!
loved that you summoned Christopher Walken for that bit at 7:02
So helpful thank you!!!
Thanks for the great tip! 😀
Perfect Description.
Excellent 👍
You are my number one in Fujifilm videos!!! Thank You!!!!
You don’t need 1/1000 to shoot action. I shoot bicycle racing from around 1/320 even 1/250; if needed, matter of fact back in the film days the old standard night sports was f/2.8 at 1/250th. Usually for bike racing I’ll try for 1/400 or 1/500, granted high can be better, but not necessary, a little blur on the extremities does show motion. I’ll shoot roller derby if I’m not using a strobe anywhere from 1/250 to 1/500 depending on the ambient light. One thing I notice with the Fuji’s is they focus on Continuous better is using burst drive modes.
Why not set to continuous focus all the time?
Great tips! I really appreciate it. Subscribed!
Thank you!!! GREAT VIDEO
Great video...
"Ohhh, whaaaat we are doing... OOHHHHH AAAACTION!!!" LOL!!!
Yeah the Sumo channel. Great and informative video as usual, in looking forward to the one about the custom settings.
Oh yes right...............I did notice the door................again ;-)
Sorry Omar. I queried XT4, but I liked your presentation. Trying to find out about XT4 capability for AF tracking for wildlife, kids, and birds.
late to the game here but: what focus settings should be used for a subject in one spot, but the are moving quickly from standing to prone (for video settings on the x-T5)?
I missed the ending... too distracted by the awesome sumo move! Great vid btw!
Damn it... I needed this video last weekend hahaha. Great video.. Thanks.
5:05 I love it! :D
Very helpful, thank you 🙂
At 7.42,you mention SINGLE focus mode, but you show in your drawing CONTINUOUS mode…
great video, thanks
Well explained THX!
Little mistake at 6:00 - Shouldn't it be AF-S not C?
thank you! Fantastic
changed a bit with X-T4 - single point with C-AF works very good - but you have to hold the AF-field on the subject ;-)
This is a perfectly timed video for you to post what i was thinking about tonight lol. Cheers!
Wich af settings would you recommand for basketball (X-h2 or 2s?)
Best, short, straight to the point explained! Just subscribed!
Btw, does X-H1 have the same good AF like xt2 you've got?
I discovered AF-C + AF Area to "tag" and track subjects that move across the frame.
Useful! Thanks!!!!
5:08... you made my day Omar 😂 thanks for the great video again and have a nice weekend 📷
Thanks for another great video Omar.
What settings would you recommend for taking pics of a First Holy Communion in a church with on an X-T20 + XF18-55mm F2.8-4 lens using a camera mounted flash like the Godox 860V II pointed upwards ? The church has a 20 ft. high white ceiling
Also in such conditions how do I nail focus and exposure each time ?

Do you have the continuous focus on release?
Thank you! 🙌
Can you explain more about the tracking custom focus. Specially for ice hockey game s.
Thank you
would you suggest zone focusing for daily use ?
Omar, what was your AF-C Custom Setting? You said it was beyond the focus of this video.
Thanks for the informative video Omar. Would you recommend the Fuji XT-3 or the Sony a7iii for fast moving subjects?
Thank you Omar yousfull video Next video 🤲 நன்றி 👍🤗
I am using a X-T1 and I am currently trying to learn shoo2 action sports. Your video is a godsend!! I have a question if I am using a suitable lens like a 90mm f2 or higher could I stop down to like 2.8 to get a higher keeper rate of in focus photos?
Omar, I’m about to sell my Fuji xt20 unless I can figure out how to get my camera to stop focusing in and out during videos. Please make a video on this if you can. 😂🙏🏼
Hi Omar! Great video, thank you! Can you tell me which focus you use for a street photography if somedy step into a frame, and you want that person be in focus? Thank you!
What about release/focus priority setting? What is the best setting for AF-S and AF-C? Does the new firmware update for the XT3 t0 4.0 change your mind? Thanks.
Holy springs Batman! Your kid has a vertical! I find single point/continuous on an X-T2 largely ineffective. Need that zone for almost all instances when continuous. I’ve heard the T3 is better in this respect.
Great video as always :) but you showed the wrong picture at 6.12 minute mark, you talk about AF-S but show an AF-C picture :)
Would you use eye tracking as well for subjects moving towards you ?
I can't get consistent results from the 56mm lens. The 35 f2 on the other hand is very quick with focusing
I would be grateful if sometime you would cover af-c custom modes
