Extremely helpful! Many thanks indeed. I played your video-stopped it-looked at the camera-backed up the video- played it again-set the camera-repeat until I got to the end! I think I jumped in at the deep end and you have definitely thrown me a life ring.
Hi I like your videos and this time I wanted to check if i was missing anything about the way I shoot video. Personally i believe Movie silent mode mode is the MOST important function that allows hybrid shooting, it remembers the video settings without changing ANY of the dials before starting recording. By using that function correctly you only need to turn the dial to video and thats it. The way you have shown i believe is the most complicated and cumbersome. Rgrds
Thanks for the kind words, and you make a good point. I do try to cover all the bases, and I'm sorry that I didn't state all the advantages of the silent mode, so thanks very much for the additional detail and clarity, appreciated.
@@christianhaugerud7787 The X-H1, when used with the silent mode, is one of the most efficient to switch between the settings - the video settings menu is independent of the stills.
@@MaartenHeilbron Ok, I'm considering the xh1 mainly for stills photography, but want to be able to easily switch to video. Non professional shooting, typically family etc. I like to shoot with the Fuji dials. So my question is really this: How do I go from Fuji-dial style stills shooting to casual video the fastest?
@@christianhaugerud7787 The settings will switch from stills to video when you change the drive collar. To also switch your aperture, shutter and ISO, use silent mode, then each will have its own saved parameters.
Thank you Sir, for reading and studying the manual and explaining it to us in short form. Got this camera today and I can't wait to experiment with it and continue filming my documentary series. Best regards.
@@MaartenHeilbron These must not necessarily be downvotes like 'didn't like' but instead mean 'didn't find what I expected to' and that's somehow ok - still not conscious in any way. Keep the good work up!
phenomenal video, really!! You said at 14:30 it only records in 720P through the "Cam Remote App" is there any solution to record in Camera Settings? because I need a Wireless monitor and it would be great but not in 720P.. :/ Thank you!
Thanks for your kind words. No, there is no solution or workaround for this issue - an inexpensive on-camera monitor is about the only way to monitor the image if you're in front of the camera. Here's one that I've used, works well and is kind of affordable: bhpho.to/2K14Ite. I demonstrate it here: th-cam.com/video/tAlLgpRBYz0/w-d-xo.html
Around 04:00 I understando you can enable auto-iso but you cannot use auto-iso on movie mode, can I have a better explanation? is it possibile to set fixed shutter speed, aperture and auto iso range to accomodate little light change in the scene, even on manual movie mode? On my G80 can't do that, and also can't use exposure comp, frustrating.
@@MaartenHeilbron nice to know, with Lumix G80 on manual video mode you can't use auto iso neither EV compensation useful to little changes in the light of the scene 👍🏻 Thank You
This ability - making EV adjustments in manual exposure mode while AutoISO is on - is a fairly recent addition with most manufacturers. I think they thought it would be obvious that once the aperture and shutter are set manually, the only possible exposure adjustment is ISO - but clearly many prefer to use the EV dial to set it.
One question regard to what you're doing at 12:34. I'm finding my exposure is consistently crushing the blacks--shadow settings are too low--even after I've set the shadows at -2. It there any other way to correct his in-camera that you know of. I use the X-H1 a LOT---but i've never been able to solve this issue. I really love using this camera for video--except for this one issue. I even get the problem in Eterna.
I'm not having that issue, and I also shoot quite a lot under widely varying circumstances. I use Eterna (DR 100 and 400) as well as chrome, usually as I said in the video with shadows and highlights at -2. In fact, I usually have to make a (very small) adjustment to bring the blacks down to 0 (referencing FCPs waveform) so they don't look slightly grey. Not sure what to suggest, I know you're an expert videographer, with a good handle on histogram, so can't begin to imagine what I might be doing differently.
@@MaartenHeilbron Maarten, thanks so much for your response. I've been off and on again with the X-H1, mainly because I've been working on learning the Nikon Z6 and reorienting my self to the GH5. I've finally come around to think it's a really great camera--but shooting non-native lenses I'm compelled to shoot with a speed booster--and get great results--at least as far as I'm concerned. I'm going to give this another shot with the X-H1 and pay close attention to my histogram. I really, really, really wish these camera companies would include a waveform. I mean, how hard would that be?!?! All this reminds me--last winter I did this video with the X-H1, using Vivaldi's "Winter" from the Seasons. If you can spare 3 minutes give it a glance---LOVE the X-H1--a camera that has gotten a raw deal IMO. th-cam.com/video/GJ6ASrvWwcw/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for sharing that video - lovely images, great colours. If there are two things that I'd love to have its 1) gain instead of ISO (for video anyway) and 2) waveform - you're right, it's so much easier (at least for those of us who are familiar.
@@MaartenHeilbron I agree. I don't see that waveforms take all that much more processing than histogram. We video people should be able to choose at the very least. It wouldn't kill them to give us a few videocentric options.
The videographers who are serious enough about video to demand and use waveforms buy cameras that include this feature, as well as other capabilities appropriate to their craft. Except for crash and burn shots (the camera is likely to be damaged while getting the shot) they don't bother with cameras like this. According to my dealer, the most popular camera is the Sony A7 series, he says that production crews will regularly buy a bunch for this purpose.
Hey Maarten, thanks for your suggestions! Curious if you have some answers or thoughts on this concern of mine. Everything on X-H1 says it can record up to 15 min clip internally but when I record it breaks up the recording session into clips that are 5:18 in length. That's with 4k and 1080p. The 4k clips are about 4.14 GB and the 1080p clips are 1.34 GB. Why are they doing this and why is no one mentioning this? It's very inconvenient for recording audio and video separately and syncing those. I have to sync 3 clips to one audio file now or stitch those 3 clips together and sync the audio file to it. I read somewhere that it's limited to 4gb files but that can't be true since the 1080 files are the same in length but only 1.34GB. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Why are you having to sync the clips separately? Once they're on the timeline, you should need to sync only the first one and the rest will fall into place. That's a process that works for me. However, please do update your firmware, as this is an issue that's been addressed in the latest upgrade (v.2.0). I believe it was originally implemented as a solution to accommodate SDHC cards, but SDXC (ie all cards 64GB and over) didn't have this file system limitation. Hope this helps.
Thanks for your efforts. Your style of delivery is refreshing and not over the top like so many. As an amateur filmmaker, I am loving this camera, complete with all its quirky ness. I recently bought the x-h1 plus batt grip. As I only have two of the “s” type batteries, my third Fujifilm batt gets consumed at an alarming rate compared to the newer type. I use more or less the same settings as you, except my personal film sim is Pro neg hi. I have noticed that when I first press the shutter release, exposure in the EVF and in the actual recording takes an initial dip. Within a second or two, exposure comes back to what I had set. Is this normal with other users. Kindest regards. Melbourne, Australia.
Maarten Heilbron I’m so sorry not to have replied to your question earlier. My only excuse is that I am touring Ireland at the moment and must have missed your reply. I understand that this is not a “how to fix it” forum. I was making comment in order to see if it’s just me that is reporting the “exposure” issue or if others had experienced it. But to the question, I have set up 24fps in the movie menu, and have the shutter speed dial set to “A”. Even if I ser shutter speed manually, the issue still happens. However, what I have discovered is that, if I set the ISO dial manually ie a set ISO of 200 for example, when I release the shutter, the exposure dips, then recovers to a stable level. This is in both the EVF and during playback, resulting in the first few seconds of footage unusable. But here’s the thing, if I set my ISO dial to “A” (auto ISO ) then the exposure dip does NOT happen! I would have thought that pre setting the ISO and shutter speed as well as aperture would results in a fixed exposure that would not change on shutter release. Now that I know what’s going to happen, I can make allowances for wastage of the first few feet of film 😜, but that seems to be not the normal way of videoing. Hope I haven’t wasted your or other viewers time on this, but perhaps can get other users feedback, as in 50 years of photography and recently, video, this is the finest camera I have owned. Kindest regards and thanks in advance. Richard.
I am experiencing the same with my X-H1, with all exposure settings set manual. I did not think of it before reading this, as I am quite new to video shooting. I have had to discard the first second or two of each clip due to a short drop in exposure (darker picture). I am using the XF 16-55mm f/2.8 lens.
I have been trying to replicate this with several settings and lenses, but can't see it. Can you share all of your settings? Resolution, frame and data rate? Which film sim? F-Log? White balance? I'd like to see if I can replicate this.
Maarten, love your reviews and advice. I use this camera every day for professional productions and I'm glad that, it seems, we have both came to the same conclusions about most of the ways to best use this for video. I have also found that over-exposing (ETTR) doesn't work well on Eterna for skin colors, it likes to be exposed properly.
Hi Maarten, Thank you for the video. I have a quick question please regarding focusing with XH1 in manual focus mode while recording video. I would like to ask if I can refocus using touchscreen or AF ON button during recording of the video? I tried it on my XH1 and both options work before I start recording, but once I start recording I am unable to refocus using touchscreen nor AF ON button, only manually. Many thanks for your answer.
Thank you for such wonderfull x-h1 video. My questions is this, what I have set wrong in my camera setteings, that, I only see WB preview when recording. I am using external recorder, I change WB but on screen and trought HDMI output WB settings are not reflected, I see WB only when I hit record.
Hi Maarten, I've been watching some of your excellent video reviews lately and I some months ago I bought the Fujifilm X-H1 w/ batter grip for photos and videos. I know this video is over a year old, but did you, or any one reading this comment, ever experienced bad audio with the battery grip audio output? I tested 3 different headphones and as soon as I go over volume 6 I get bad distortion and noise as if the sound is clipping BUT the sound is recorded perfectly clear. It must be an issue with the pre-amp of the battery grip. I found very little on the internet about it, maybe it's my grip that is faulty, but I don't want to send it in and be told that Fuji can't reproduce the issue. If anybody has any info on this, please let me know. Being not able to monitor interviews properly is very annoying.
Thanks, but not sure if I got you right, Maarten, the camera can be powered (and battery in the camera recharged) using a USB-C PD connector recommended on the Fuji customer help site. This has helped me eliminate the dependency on those poor batteries for video work. Thanks.
@@MaartenHeilbron I followed your settings for video--Classic Chrome (CC) and all the values for highlights, color, shadows, etc.as well as tried other profiles, including Eterna. But I don't seem to be happy with any setting. It's true, I use old glass with large apertures (usually 1.8-1.4 and 2-2.8 for close-ups and mid-range as well) and everything I do is manual. To elaborate further, while in CC, I find the skin tones to be pleasing but the shadows to be a little too pronounced, maybe? Even with the adjustments. Also, in low light with a 400-500 ISO (coming from GH4 and GX 85, I just can't seem to agree that one should go over 500--maybe, I am wrong as Fuji can comfortably handle 800+), the moving image seems to be not as I would like it to be--pleasing highlights and shadows. No such issue with monochrome at all and my wife thinks I should ditch color altogether! Sorry this post got long!
@@abhijeetpaul5145 Sorry to hear you're not pleased with the results. CC is the least "contrasty" of the profiles, and if you've also reduced the highlights and shadows, that's the best you can get in camera. I usually find that I'd like a little more true black in my images, but those kinds of adjustments are easily made in editing. Have you tried F-Log? Although a little more work, that will give you a flatter starting point.
@@MaartenHeilbron You're too kind! And actually, you know what, I tried the CC as well as the Pro Neg H with reduced shadows and highlights and even color. Also, I added a polarizer. The results are looking better and my wife's opinion on digital color from the camera and in general will change, I remain hopeful! Eterna worked fantastically while I was traveling in India--somehow the light was different as was the haze in the air--environmentally unsound :( but sound for footage :). I couldn't deal with post-processing and so F-log is not an option not for now at least. Whoa, again, my post is long. I sincerely thank you for being so generous with your time. Stay safe.
thank you so much por this video, is perfect for me. I wanna make you a little cuestion, i`m thinking to make a extrabattery external, to connect to the camera when i willl make video, if you have inside a battery, and you connect with usb an external battery, the camera runs with the current electricity from the internal battery or the external? is an idea to have only 2 internal batterys and a big exterbal batery to reccord many time. Can you help me?
Thank you, I appreciate your kind words. The best help I can suggest is that you purchase the Fuji battery grip. It will save you a lot of aggravation - it also powers the camera when its plugged in for extended recording time (beyond the three batteries).
Great video! Is there a way to turn of exposure compensation while recording video? I sometimes see the change of exposure in shots with a lot of movement.
Exposure compensation is a dial that allows you to manually change the exposure - so that's not the right term. If you don't want the camera to make exposure adjustments while shooting, you need to make sure that your aperture, your shutter speed and your ISO are at a manual setting.
@@MaartenHeilbron Thanks for your answer. As you said I don't won't the camera to make exposure adjustments. Even if I switch all to manual it will continue to adjust. I can see the changes on the left scale. Any idea why this happens?
@@Rene.gluschek If you have set the aperture and the shutter on numerical values (ie, not A) and the ISO on a numerical value (ie not Auto1, 2 or 3) the camera does not make automatic adjustments.
Hello Maarten, I'm here again.. I watched this video and the one about X-T3 settings.. I'm here to ask if you are you still using X-H1 instead of X-T3 to record your video, and why, considering x-t3 have more option also about internal recording and nor only All-Intra or H265 settings; seems to be more video oriented than X-H1 at now, and thinking about why prefer x-h1 over x-t3 considering ibis can be useless in most situations on tripod, also you need grip for longer clip, thank You :) don't know if you changed your gear by the way.
I am still using the X-H1. Mostly because I don't feel a need to upgrade for what I do. For me, in body stabilization isn't a requirement. I use either a tripod or a gimbal when shooting video. Yes, the grip is needed, but I have one, so it's not an issue. If I were going out tonight to buy a new camera, it would probably be the X-T3, or with a bigger budget, the A7R IV - even though its video bit rates are low.
Fantastic video. I was mirroring your settings to undertake some tests but I cannot for the life of me find out how to display the mic levels on the screen when recording. I am picking up sound though... Same happens on my X-T2. Any pointer appreciated thanks Maarten.
Thanks for your kind words, appreciated. The meters should appear screen left as soon as you switch to video mode. If not check the display custom settings and make sure it’s selected as one of the options.
Thanks for the reply. Worked it out the hard way... when Icons on the screen are set to large, some of the information on the screen / viewfinder no longer dispalys even if selected as an option. Reverting back to normal sized Icons displayed the mic levels. Keep up the highly informative work.. I always learn alot!
Hello maarten, I'd like to switch my shutter for movie to 1/48 when filming in 24p. It seems that I could not find any way to change it to that. Would mind helping achieve it?
Maarten, Great job again. I have ran into the battery issue in the battery grip with my X-T2 and now my X-H1 as well. My question is does Fuji plan to fix this issue or are we going to have live with this weird behavior since it could destroy a critical scene in a shoot? Also do you think they could fix this in a firmware update?
I appreciate your kind words, but I have no inside information from Fuji on this problem. I suspect it could be fixed with a firmware upgrade, but the fact that it hasn’t already been fixed makes me think that there’s something I don’t realize about this.
You like video. I wondered why Fuji discontinued the X-H1. It seems to be a good camera, and now on sale for $899! Are there problems with the IBIS? Doesn’t make sense for them to drop a flagship camera. Unfortunately, the timing is not good, since my funds are low. This is a great deal. Just thinking if something sounds too good to be true, well...
For people shooting in 24 or 25p I suggest setting the T setting on shutter speed dial to 1/50 instead of using 1/60, then using rear command dial to fine tune. It saves a step and keeps last speed in memory.
I record from the camera's HDMI out to an Atomos Ninja Inferno. I recommend any Atomos monitor/recorder that suits your budget and provides the screen size (and HDMI input) you need.
I want to buy this camera with 50mm manual focus lens. Is it good? I will be shooting with tripod and the subject will be sitting down or standing and talking and moving his hands while talking.
Maarten, Appreciate your professional videos and I'm a happy subscriber to your channel. I purchased an X-H1 recently, confirming the latest firmware. In your experience with the X-H1, in video mode, have you ever had the shutter speed and iso become unadjustable (the dials are not locked)?
@@MaartenHeilbron I just checked... and yes, I had SIlent Mode enabled. I don't recall enabling it. :-) Turning it off resolved the issue. Many Thanks!
Wow what an amazing video thank you , I'm most definitely a new subscriber, could you maybe help me with a question. I'm vlogging with my xh1 and half the time I'm not sure if I'm recording as there is no light on the front do you perhaps know a work around, thanx In advance Garth
I am debating between this one and the panasonic lumix g7 for stills, specifically for an online clothing store where showing the texture of the fabric is very important. Which one would you go for?
There is no question in my mind that the X-H1 (or even better the X-T3) will provide higher quality images than the G7. Although the kit lens is suitable, I suggest that for better quality you shoot with Fujifilm's prime lenses or the XF16-70. That said, the key to quality video isn't necessarily the camera, it's the lighting - make sure that you have good lighting when you are recording. If you can have only one "pro" on your video team, I'd choose lighting over camera.
Maarten Heilbron Thank you for the reply. I just realized that I posted my question in the wrong video 🤣 I meant to ask G7 vs XT100 (you see, I have been watching your videos I even get confused). I am a beginner with a tight budget. Thank you again.
Great video as usual. I'm disappointed though in Fuji for allowing a major (to me) issue such as the camera stopping recording video when a battery dies (even with the grip). I was recording interviews a couple months ago and luckily the subject saw the tally light go out and alerted me that something was up. I was busy asking questions and was not really watching the camera. I've got my X-H1 and grip up for sale at a significant discount so I can get the X-T3. Not cool Fuji.
Right, you'd think this would be an easy fix. For the X-T3 it can be USB powered as long as you have a USB-C PD type charger or battery (they're pretty new and kind of pricey, but less than the grip.) BTW - Fujifilm has not yet been willing to lend me the grip, which probably means they're having some issue.
The link in your reply put it into youtube's spam filter. Yes, that looks like it would work, but I honestly have no idea how long it would last. Here's the product with my Amazon affiliate link (same price, I get a small commission) amzn.to/2M724nB
Just a question Marteen.. I set shutter speed and aperture manually but I want auto iso to adjust exposure? I do i set or control it for movie? I see no real time iso value and don't know how to setup base and iso limit. I usually take some shots with the video shutter speed to read the margin of the scene. So I want to set min and max iso value for auto setting to get proper exposure when the light change. I can do it for still but can't find a way for video. I don't want to reach iso 12800 and get noisy video.
@@MaartenHeilbron that's the problem 🤐 missing features I need. I need a bit of control over different light, how can I handle light for example going outdoor to indoor? 😅
@@MaartenHeilbron but really a dynamic mode doesn't exist? Light change, I can't use auto aperture because isn't smooth, I have to set shutter speed according to framerate. It remains auto iso, but if I can't control exposure during a scene dynamically it's a useless video camera with ibis for handheld, can't do only staged or light controlled movie clip. Maybe an IPhone can do better, is becoming a problem to get fast and dynamic result from this xh1 for video, a big problem 🤔
@@nerdMike There is autoISO in video, you just can't set the parameters. Get the iPhone or reset your expectations. You can already do far more than anyone could even ten years ago.
Thanks for the reply, I have shot some slow pans handheld and on motorised tripod both give results I am not used to coming from micro4/3 and that is a jittery subject as it travels across the screen. I can see this both on the xt3 and xh1 lots of other people have found this and I can't seem to get rid of this..any help from you greatly appreciated. Fuji themselves are investigating this for me, I however think I have more chance of a quicker possibility of sorting this through someone with experience like yourself. Regards.@@MaartenHeilbron
I see today, (15th Nov) that Fuji have admitted a problem by releasing a statement that they will be upgrading their firmware in December for this exact problem. As I also use Olympus I could tell straight away they have a problem but now hopefully it will be fixed. Keep up the great Vids Regards...
@@philipgowdy I hope this helps with your issue - but would still encourage you, when shooting with a tripod and doing slow pans to turn stabilization off.
Audio settings are adjusted using the audio settings (screen 4 of the movie controls). The volume in the headphones are adjusted using system sound settings playback volume.
I would not consider either IBIS or OIS to be a suitable solution for video, except for a little assistance for a non-moving handheld shot where you have a very steady position. Panning and IBIS are not compatible (as the camera is trying to fight the motion) so it should be turned off. I sounds like you need a gimbal, which will give you steady video for those situations (with the camera's stabilization turned off).
I just got one? It has the latest firmware but the af is bad on video, my 18-55 keeps hunting for focus. But what bothers me the most is when panning vídeo is horrible, unusable hurts my eyes. Like rolling shutter i don’t know,
Did you? Always ask yourself if the shot needs AF - if I can use manual I do. For most scenes, the camera to subject distance doesn't change enough to warrant AF. If you are using 30fps and 1/60, a slightly faster shutter speed will minimize the blur for pans. For rolling shutter effect (ie vertical lines are bending, try a slower pan or shoot in HD which is less susceptible.
Maarten Heilbron I always prefer manual focus to be honest, it’s more precise but sometimes like for shooting a video of myself, I like af. I used the 1/48 as I like shooting in 24fps. Same setting I used in my xt30, seems it handles it better? Or maybe it’s just in my head? I’ll try to post a sample on my channel.
@@RodolphosTechchannel You are watching your videos on a screen that refreshes 30 times per second - and so is just about everyone else. When you shoot at 24 frames per second, your computer or other display (like a TV) has to repeat frames (lookup 3:2: pulldown) to create 6 addition frames per second. Try 30 frames to see if that improves the problem.
@@MaartenHeilbron Thank you! Is it really recommended to have the battery grip plugged while recording, or plugging is only for charging while the camera is off?
You didn't buy a cheap camera, why would you compromise its abilities with a cheap card? Of course you can buy a cheaper card, save smaller image sizes, use a slower burst, wait longer for it to save, record video in a lower resolution with a lower bit rate, but then I wonder why you bought the X-H1.
@@MaartenHeilbron yeah I understand... I just didn't thought of it at the time of planning my budget... So it has to be at least 300mb/s? With 170mb/s would be problematic right?

That's my bad explanation. AutoISO works, however, in video mode, the settings can't be adjusted.
@@MaartenHeilbron at least you can use exposure comp to adjust scene?
I would recommend that you use the ISO settings instead of EV to adjust.
@@MaartenHeilbron nice to know, with Lumix G80 on manual video mode you can't use auto iso neither EV compensation useful to little changes in the light of the scene 👍🏻 Thank You
This ability - making EV adjustments in manual exposure mode while AutoISO is on - is a fairly recent addition with most manufacturers. I think they thought it would be obvious that once the aperture and shutter are set manually, the only possible exposure adjustment is ISO - but clearly many prefer to use the EV dial to set it.
Excellent video man. Thank you. So far I’ve been loving this camera!
Thanks, it was a pleasure to read your kind words.
One question regard to what you're doing at 12:34.
I'm finding my exposure is consistently crushing the blacks--shadow settings are too low--even after I've set the shadows at -2.
It there any other way to correct his in-camera that you know of.
I use the X-H1 a LOT---but i've never been able to solve this issue.
I really love using this camera for video--except for this one issue. I even get the problem in Eterna.
I'm not having that issue, and I also shoot quite a lot under widely varying circumstances. I use Eterna (DR 100 and 400) as well as chrome, usually as I said in the video with shadows and highlights at -2. In fact, I usually have to make a (very small) adjustment to bring the blacks down to 0 (referencing FCPs waveform) so they don't look slightly grey.
Not sure what to suggest, I know you're an expert videographer, with a good handle on histogram, so can't begin to imagine what I might be doing differently.
@@MaartenHeilbron Maarten, thanks so much for your response. I've been off and on again with the X-H1, mainly because I've been working on learning the Nikon Z6 and reorienting my self to the GH5. I've finally come around to think it's a really great camera--but shooting non-native lenses I'm compelled to shoot with a speed booster--and get great results--at least as far as I'm concerned.
I'm going to give this another shot with the X-H1 and pay close attention to my histogram. I really, really, really wish these camera companies would include a waveform. I mean, how hard would that be?!?!
All this reminds me--last winter I did this video with the X-H1, using Vivaldi's "Winter" from the Seasons. If you can spare 3 minutes give it a glance---LOVE the X-H1--a camera that has gotten a raw deal IMO.
th-cam.com/video/GJ6ASrvWwcw/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for sharing that video - lovely images, great colours. If there are two things that I'd love to have its 1) gain instead of ISO (for video anyway) and 2) waveform - you're right, it's so much easier (at least for those of us who are familiar.
@@MaartenHeilbron I agree. I don't see that waveforms take all that much more processing than histogram. We video people should be able to choose at the very least. It wouldn't kill them to give us a few videocentric options.
The videographers who are serious enough about video to demand and use waveforms buy cameras that include this feature, as well as other capabilities appropriate to their craft. Except for crash and burn shots (the camera is likely to be damaged while getting the shot) they don't bother with cameras like this. According to my dealer, the most popular camera is the Sony A7 series, he says that production crews will regularly buy a bunch for this purpose.
Outstanding! Great tutorial! Thank you sooo much!
So glad to hear you think so, I appreciate the kind words.
Hey Maarten, thanks for your suggestions! Curious if you have some answers or thoughts on this concern of mine. Everything on X-H1 says it can record up to 15 min clip internally but when I record it breaks up the recording session into clips that are 5:18 in length. That's with 4k and 1080p. The 4k clips are about 4.14 GB and the 1080p clips are 1.34 GB. Why are they doing this and why is no one mentioning this? It's very inconvenient for recording audio and video separately and syncing those. I have to sync 3 clips to one audio file now or stitch those 3 clips together and sync the audio file to it. I read somewhere that it's limited to 4gb files but that can't be true since the 1080 files are the same in length but only 1.34GB. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Why are you having to sync the clips separately? Once they're on the timeline, you should need to sync only the first one and the rest will fall into place. That's a process that works for me. However, please do update your firmware, as this is an issue that's been addressed in the latest upgrade (v.2.0). I believe it was originally implemented as a solution to accommodate SDHC cards, but SDXC (ie all cards 64GB and over) didn't have this file system limitation.
Hope this helps.
@@MaartenHeilbron The firmware update worked great I was totally spacing on doing that. Thanks
Always happy to help.
Can you pls share the settings for flicker free video recording when shooting under incandescent light ( 50 hz ) and 35mm xF lens ?
First, change the lighting if you can. If you cannot, adjust the shutter duration until you find a setting that doesn't flicker.
Thanks for your efforts. Your style of delivery is refreshing and not over the top like so many. As an amateur filmmaker, I am loving this camera, complete with all its quirky ness. I recently bought the x-h1 plus batt grip. As I only have two of the “s” type batteries, my third Fujifilm batt gets consumed at an alarming rate compared to the newer type. I use more or less the same settings as you, except my personal film sim is Pro neg hi. I have noticed that when I first press the shutter release, exposure in the EVF and in the actual recording takes an initial dip. Within a second or two, exposure comes back to what I had set. Is this normal with other users. Kindest regards. Melbourne, Australia.
I certainly enjoyed reading your kind words, thanks! Are you shooting with manual shutter, aperture and ISO?
Maarten Heilbron I’m so sorry not to have replied to your question earlier. My only excuse is that I am touring Ireland at the moment and must have missed your reply. I understand that this is not a “how to fix it” forum. I was making comment in order to see if it’s just me that is reporting the “exposure” issue or if others had experienced it.
But to the question, I have set up 24fps in the movie menu, and have the shutter speed dial set to “A”. Even if I ser shutter speed manually, the issue still happens. However, what I have discovered is that, if I set the ISO dial manually ie a set ISO of 200 for example, when I release the shutter, the exposure dips, then recovers to a stable level. This is in both the EVF and during playback, resulting in the first few seconds of footage unusable.
But here’s the thing, if I set my ISO dial to “A” (auto ISO ) then the exposure dip does NOT happen!
I would have thought that pre setting the ISO and shutter speed as well as aperture would results in a fixed exposure that would not change on shutter release.
Now that I know what’s going to happen, I can make allowances for wastage of the first few feet of film 😜, but that seems to be not the normal way of videoing. Hope I haven’t wasted your or other viewers time on this, but perhaps can get other users feedback, as in 50 years of photography and recently, video, this is the finest camera I have owned. Kindest regards and thanks in advance. Richard.
That's very odd. Which lens are you using?
I am experiencing the same with my X-H1, with all exposure settings set manual. I did not think of it before reading this, as I am quite new to video shooting. I have had to discard the first second or two of each clip due to a short drop in exposure (darker picture). I am using the XF 16-55mm f/2.8 lens.
I have been trying to replicate this with several settings and lenses, but can't see it. Can you share all of your settings? Resolution, frame and data rate? Which film sim? F-Log? White balance? I'd like to see if I can replicate this.
WOW! You helped me a lot. Great video. I'm loving my xh1 even more
That's great, it's always nice to hear from a viewer who has found my videos useful, thank you.
Maarten, love your reviews and advice. I use this camera every day for professional productions and I'm glad that, it seems, we have both came to the same conclusions about most of the ways to best use this for video. I have also found that over-exposing (ETTR) doesn't work well on Eterna for skin colors, it likes to be exposed properly.
I agree with your assessment, and I appreciate your kind words.
Thanks for this video, very helpful! One question. Is the histogram and the highlight warning available while shooting in flog? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the kind words. Both work when F-Log is switched on.
Thanks Marteen very exhaustive vidéo. I have the XH1 and I do the exact Settings to shoot my vidéos. So I’m happy to see it in your tutorial 👍🏼😎
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words.
Hi Maarten, Thank you for the video. I have a quick question please regarding focusing with XH1 in manual focus mode while recording video. I would like to ask if I can refocus using touchscreen or AF ON button during recording of the video? I tried it on my XH1 and both options work before I start recording, but once I start recording I am unable to refocus using touchscreen nor AF ON button, only manually. Many thanks for your answer.
Thanks for the kind words. In order for touch focus to work while you're recording, the front focus switch must be at S.
Thank you for such wonderfull x-h1 video.
My questions is this, what I have set wrong in my camera setteings, that, I only see WB preview when recording.
I am using external recorder, I change WB but on screen and trought HDMI output WB settings are not reflected, I see WB only when I hit record.
That's odd. I haven't observed that (and am travelling and can't test it.)
I agree with Tony Kro, MAARTEN YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!! My new resource for video! Bookmarked!
Thanks, always nice to hear from an appreciative viewer.
Any thoughts about doing an updated review on the XH1 with the latest firmware installed?
Yes, I hope to get to that ... but at the moment, my X-H1 is having its HDMI port fixed.
Hi Maarten, I've been watching some of your excellent video reviews lately and I some months ago I bought the Fujifilm X-H1 w/ batter grip for photos and videos. I know this video is over a year old, but did you, or any one reading this comment, ever experienced bad audio with the battery grip audio output? I tested 3 different headphones and as soon as I go over volume 6 I get bad distortion and noise as if the sound is clipping BUT the sound is recorded perfectly clear. It must be an issue with the pre-amp of the battery grip. I found very little on the internet about it, maybe it's my grip that is faulty, but I don't want to send it in and be told that Fuji can't reproduce the issue. If anybody has any info on this, please let me know. Being not able to monitor interviews properly is very annoying.
Yes, I agree, if you turn the volume up too high, it does distort. I'm usually listening on the external recorder, which doesn't have that issue.
Another great Video 🙌🏼 thanks you so much for your work and help
Always my pleasure, thanks for your kind words, appreciated
Thanks for your review. Some good tips there.
I appreciate your kind words, thanks.
Thanks, but not sure if I got you right, Maarten, the camera can be powered (and battery in the camera recharged) using a USB-C PD connector recommended on the Fuji customer help site. This has helped me eliminate the dependency on those poor batteries for video work. Thanks.
You got that right. Those are now fairly standard - although they weren't when the X-H1 was released.
@@MaartenHeilbron Thanks, indeed!
@@MaartenHeilbron I followed your settings for video--Classic Chrome (CC) and all the values for highlights, color, shadows, etc.as well as tried other profiles, including Eterna. But I don't seem to be happy with any setting. It's true, I use old glass with large apertures (usually 1.8-1.4 and 2-2.8 for close-ups and mid-range as well) and everything I do is manual. To elaborate further, while in CC, I find the skin tones to be pleasing but the shadows to be a little too pronounced, maybe? Even with the adjustments. Also, in low light with a 400-500 ISO (coming from GH4 and GX 85, I just can't seem to agree that one should go over 500--maybe, I am wrong as Fuji can comfortably handle 800+), the moving image seems to be not as I would like it to be--pleasing highlights and shadows. No such issue with monochrome at all and my wife thinks I should ditch color altogether! Sorry this post got long!
@@abhijeetpaul5145 Sorry to hear you're not pleased with the results. CC is the least "contrasty" of the profiles, and if you've also reduced the highlights and shadows, that's the best you can get in camera. I usually find that I'd like a little more true black in my images, but those kinds of adjustments are easily made in editing. Have you tried F-Log? Although a little more work, that will give you a flatter starting point.
@@MaartenHeilbron You're too kind! And actually, you know what, I tried the CC as well as the Pro Neg H with reduced shadows and highlights and even color. Also, I added a polarizer. The results are looking better and my wife's opinion on digital color from the camera and in general will change, I remain hopeful! Eterna worked fantastically while I was traveling in India--somehow the light was different as was the haze in the air--environmentally unsound :( but sound for footage :). I couldn't deal with post-processing and so F-log is not an option not for now at least. Whoa, again, my post is long. I sincerely thank you for being so generous with your time. Stay safe.
thank you so much por this video, is perfect for me. I wanna make you a little cuestion, i`m thinking to make a extrabattery external, to connect to the camera when i willl make video, if you have inside a battery, and you connect with usb an external battery, the camera runs with the current electricity from the internal battery or the external? is an idea to have only 2 internal batterys and a big exterbal batery to reccord many time. Can you help me?
Thank you, I appreciate your kind words. The best help I can suggest is that you purchase the Fuji battery grip. It will save you a lot of aggravation - it also powers the camera when its plugged in for extended recording time (beyond the three batteries).
Great video! Is there a way to turn of exposure compensation while recording video? I sometimes see the change of exposure in shots with a lot of movement.
Exposure compensation is a dial that allows you to manually change the exposure - so that's not the right term.
If you don't want the camera to make exposure adjustments while shooting, you need to make sure that your aperture, your shutter speed and your ISO are at a manual setting.
@@MaartenHeilbron Thanks for your answer. As you said I don't won't the camera to make exposure adjustments. Even if I switch all to manual it will continue to adjust. I can see the changes on the left scale. Any idea why this happens?
@@Rene.gluschek If you have set the aperture and the shutter on numerical values (ie, not A) and the ISO on a numerical value (ie not Auto1, 2 or 3) the camera does not make automatic adjustments.
hi. can you please make a video on how the Xh1 IBIS works on video recording after installing new firmware?
Thanks for the request - not sure I can find time for this, but I will spend a little time to see how it works and then decide.
Hello Maarten, I'm here again.. I watched this video and the one about X-T3 settings.. I'm here to ask if you are you still using X-H1 instead of X-T3 to record your video, and why, considering x-t3 have more option also about internal recording and nor only All-Intra or H265 settings; seems to be more video oriented than X-H1 at now, and thinking about why prefer x-h1 over x-t3 considering ibis can be useless in most situations on tripod, also you need grip for longer clip, thank You :) don't know if you changed your gear by the way.
I am still using the X-H1. Mostly because I don't feel a need to upgrade for what I do. For me, in body stabilization isn't a requirement. I use either a tripod or a gimbal when shooting video. Yes, the grip is needed, but I have one, so it's not an issue. If I were going out tonight to buy a new camera, it would probably be the X-T3, or with a bigger budget, the A7R IV - even though its video bit rates are low.
Fantastic video. I was mirroring your settings to undertake some tests but I cannot for the life of me find out how to display the mic levels on the screen when recording. I am picking up sound though... Same happens on my X-T2. Any pointer appreciated thanks Maarten.
Thanks for your kind words, appreciated. The meters should appear screen left as soon as you switch to video mode. If not check the display custom settings and make sure it’s selected as one of the options.
Thanks for the reply. Worked it out the hard way... when Icons on the screen are set to large, some of the information on the screen / viewfinder no longer dispalys even if selected as an option. Reverting back to normal sized Icons displayed the mic levels. Keep up the highly informative work.. I always learn alot!
Right. I'll have to remember that can be an issue for display items.
Hello maarten, I'd like to switch my shutter for movie to 1/48 when filming in 24p. It seems that I could not find any way to change it to that. Would mind helping achieve it?
Set the shutter to 1/60 then use the back dial to set 1/48.
Maarten, Great job again. I have ran into the battery issue in the battery grip with my X-T2 and now my X-H1 as well. My question is does Fuji plan to fix this issue or are we going to have live with this weird behavior since it could destroy a critical scene in a shoot? Also do you think they could fix this in a firmware update?
I appreciate your kind words, but I have no inside information from Fuji on this problem. I suspect it could be fixed with a firmware upgrade, but the fact that it hasn’t already been fixed makes me think that there’s something I don’t realize about this.
You like video. I wondered why Fuji discontinued the X-H1. It seems to be a good camera, and now on sale for $899! Are there problems with the IBIS? Doesn’t make sense for them to drop a flagship camera. Unfortunately, the timing is not good, since my funds are low. This is a great deal. Just thinking if something sounds too good to be true, well...
Well, that's too bad. I like mine, but admittedly, the X-T3 is a better camera.
you should have more followers good sir! thank you! I will use what I've learned today!
I'm happy to hear that you've found useful information in my videos. Thanks for your kind words.
For people shooting in 24 or 25p I suggest setting the T setting on shutter speed dial to 1/50 instead of using 1/60, then using rear command dial to fine tune. It saves a step and keeps last speed in memory.
An interesting tip, thanks for contributing.
Hi Maarten
Which External monitoring, recording do you use ?
and Which External monitoring recording do you recomand for a X-H1 ?
Thanks you
I record from the camera's HDMI out to an Atomos Ninja Inferno. I recommend any Atomos monitor/recorder that suits your budget and provides the screen size (and HDMI input) you need.
@@MaartenHeilbron Hi Maarten, and Between an X-H1 and an X-T3 which of the two would you recommend to start in video?
Although the X-H1 is very capable, I'd prefer the X-T3 as it has a newer and more complete video feature set.
I want to buy this camera with 50mm manual focus lens. Is it good? I will be shooting with tripod and the subject will be sitting down or standing and talking and moving his hands while talking.
Yes, that sounds like a good solution.
Maarten, Appreciate your professional videos and I'm a happy subscriber to your channel. I purchased an X-H1 recently, confirming the latest firmware. In your experience with the X-H1, in video mode, have you ever had the shutter speed and iso become unadjustable (the dials are not locked)?
Thanks for the kind words, appreciated. Have you turned the movie silent mode on? It disables the physical controls.
@@MaartenHeilbron I just checked... and yes, I had SIlent Mode enabled. I don't recall enabling it. :-) Turning it off resolved the issue. Many Thanks!
always happy to help, glad to hear you found the solution.
Wow what an amazing video thank you , I'm most definitely a new subscriber, could you maybe help me with a question. I'm vlogging with my xh1 and half the time I'm not sure if I'm recording as there is no light on the front do you perhaps know a work around, thanx In advance Garth
Thanks, I appreciate your kind words. The tally light function (on the video menu) has options for both front and back recording lights.
Most excellent Martin thanks much
I appreciate the kind words, thanks!
Does it record in 10 bit 4:2:2 All-l in all video recording modes ?
No. Get the X-T4 for that.
@@MaartenHeilbron Ok thank you sir.
I am debating between this one and the panasonic lumix g7 for stills, specifically for an online clothing store where showing the texture of the fabric is very important. Which one would you go for?
There is no question in my mind that the X-H1 (or even better the X-T3) will provide higher quality images than the G7. Although the kit lens is suitable, I suggest that for better quality you shoot with Fujifilm's prime lenses or the XF16-70. That said, the key to quality video isn't necessarily the camera, it's the lighting - make sure that you have good lighting when you are recording. If you can have only one "pro" on your video team, I'd choose lighting over camera.
Maarten Heilbron Thank you for the reply. I just realized that I posted my question in the wrong video 🤣 I meant to ask G7 vs XT100 (you see, I have been watching your videos I even get confused). I am a beginner with a tight budget. Thank you again.
I see. I'd consider the X-T20 over the X-T100, but both can be good choices with the right lens.
Maarten Heilbron Thank you Maarten for taking the time to answer 🙏🏼
Always happy to help, and I always take the time to answer.
Very helpful, thank you
Glad it was helpful, thanks for the kind words.
Great video as usual. I'm disappointed though in Fuji for allowing a major (to me) issue such as the camera stopping recording video when a battery dies (even with the grip).
I was recording interviews a couple months ago and luckily the subject saw the tally light go out and alerted me that something was up. I was busy asking questions and was not really watching the camera.
I've got my X-H1 and grip up for sale at a significant discount so I can get the X-T3. Not cool Fuji.
Right, you'd think this would be an easy fix. For the X-T3 it can be USB powered as long as you have a USB-C PD type charger or battery (they're pretty new and kind of pricey, but less than the grip.) BTW - Fujifilm has not yet been willing to lend me the grip, which probably means they're having some issue.
The link in your reply put it into youtube's spam filter. Yes, that looks like it would work, but I honestly have no idea how long it would last. Here's the product with my Amazon affiliate link (same price, I get a small commission) amzn.to/2M724nB
Just a question Marteen.. I set shutter speed and aperture manually but I want auto iso to adjust exposure? I do i set or control it for movie?
I see no real time iso value and don't know how to setup base and iso limit. I usually take some shots with the video shutter speed to read the margin of the scene. So I want to set min and max iso value for auto setting to get proper exposure when the light change.
I can do it for still but can't find a way for video. I don't want to reach iso 12800 and get noisy video.
If you don't need AutoISO to compensate for changes in lighting, don't use it. There is no AutoISO control for video.
@@MaartenHeilbron that's the problem 🤐 missing features I need. I need a bit of control over different light, how can I handle light for example going outdoor to indoor? 😅
@@nerdMike The old fashioned method is to take one shot from behind of the talent leaving, then cut to exterior with the talent coming out.
@@MaartenHeilbron but really a dynamic mode doesn't exist? Light change, I can't use auto aperture because isn't smooth, I have to set shutter speed according to framerate. It remains auto iso, but if I can't control exposure during a scene dynamically it's a useless video camera with ibis for handheld, can't do only staged or light controlled movie clip. Maybe an IPhone can do better, is becoming a problem to get fast and dynamic result from this xh1 for video, a big problem 🤔
@@nerdMike There is autoISO in video, you just can't set the parameters. Get the iPhone or reset your expectations. You can already do far more than anyone could even ten years ago.
Have you found anything to stop the jitters in the image when doing a slow pan, with the image stabiliser?
Panning, particularly slowly is not compatible with a stabilizer, as it's continually trying to compensate for movement.
Thanks for the reply, I have shot some slow pans handheld and on motorised tripod both give results I am not used to coming from micro4/3 and that is a jittery subject as it travels across the screen. I can see this both on the xt3 and xh1 lots of other people have found this and I can't seem to get rid of this..any help from you greatly appreciated. Fuji themselves are investigating this for me, I however think I have more chance of a quicker possibility of sorting this through someone with experience like yourself.
Regards.@@MaartenHeilbron
@@philipgowdy Have you tried with the stabilizer turned off?
I see today, (15th Nov) that Fuji have admitted a problem by releasing a statement that they will be upgrading their firmware in December for this exact problem. As I also use Olympus I could tell straight away they have a problem but now hopefully it will be fixed. Keep up the great Vids Regards...
@@philipgowdy I hope this helps with your issue - but would still encourage you, when shooting with a tripod and doing slow pans to turn stabilization off.
Hi,Can you explain how to control Audio while recording using headset?
Audio settings are adjusted using the audio settings (screen 4 of the movie controls). The volume in the headphones are adjusted using system sound settings playback volume.
@@MaartenHeilbron thanks I will try tomorrow.
@@MaartenHeilbron Yes it works. I used ambient noise cancelation headset .Works perfectly.
Thanks for the update.
Can you use focus peaking while using auto focus?
Peaking works only with manual focus.
What a great video!
Thanks! Kind words are always appreciated.
Is there a way to fix the unnatural ibis when filming a video with XH1? This happens when you walk to the handheld or when you Panning.
I would not consider either IBIS or OIS to be a suitable solution for video, except for a little assistance for a non-moving handheld shot where you have a very steady position. Panning and IBIS are not compatible (as the camera is trying to fight the motion) so it should be turned off. I sounds like you need a gimbal, which will give you steady video for those situations (with the camera's stabilization turned off).
You are legend sir
I appreciate your kind comment, thanks!!
Maarten, my H1 is always in Auto when in movie mode... what am I doing wrong? :/ ..... 1 hour later: found it: movie silent control: OFF
Always nice to know my viewers are resourceful and able to manage without me.
Excellent job! You must have had professional training in Cinematography. Looks intimidating to the average person!
Thanks, I was hoping to make it less intimidating.
When 1 battery dies it will continue recording?
Sadly, and frustratingly, no. It stops recording when a battery is exhausted. The way around this is to plug the battery grip in to power.
I just got one? It has the latest firmware but the af is bad on video, my 18-55 keeps hunting for focus. But what bothers me the most is when panning vídeo is horrible, unusable hurts my eyes. Like rolling shutter i don’t know,
Did you? Always ask yourself if the shot needs AF - if I can use manual I do. For most scenes, the camera to subject distance doesn't change enough to warrant AF. If you are using 30fps and 1/60, a slightly faster shutter speed will minimize the blur for pans. For rolling shutter effect (ie vertical lines are bending, try a slower pan or shoot in HD which is less susceptible.
Maarten Heilbron I always prefer manual focus to be honest, it’s more precise but sometimes like for shooting a video of myself, I like af. I used the 1/48 as I like shooting in 24fps. Same setting I used in my xt30, seems it handles it better? Or maybe it’s just in my head? I’ll try to post a sample on my channel.
@@RodolphosTechchannel You are watching your videos on a screen that refreshes 30 times per second - and so is just about everyone else. When you shoot at 24 frames per second, your computer or other display (like a TV) has to repeat frames (lookup 3:2: pulldown) to create 6 addition frames per second. Try 30 frames to see if that improves the problem.
does it happen to you that the camera turns off while recording?
Yes. It's slightly, but not completely predictable, like when a battery in the grip runs out.
@@MaartenHeilbron Thank you! Is it really recommended to have the battery grip plugged while recording, or plugging is only for charging while the camera is off?
IBIS settings ?
On a tripod, they should be off. For handheld, continuous, but it won't help much. Get a gimbal.
@@MaartenHeilbron i could realize the point that , xh1 needs a gimbal for smooth videos. Thank you so much ..👍👍

You didn't buy a cheap camera, why would you compromise its abilities with a cheap card?
Of course you can buy a cheaper card, save smaller image sizes, use a slower burst, wait longer for it to save, record video in a lower resolution with a lower bit rate, but then I wonder why you bought the X-H1.
@@MaartenHeilbron yeah I understand... I just didn't thought of it at the time of planning my budget... So it has to be at least 300mb/s? With 170mb/s would be problematic right?
