One of the best educational videos I've seen on TH-cam. Relatively short and to the point, just the way I like my tutorials! My X-S10 arrives tomorrow and I cannot wait to learn how to use it and have an excuse to get out of the house more during these lockdown times :)
Wow, thanks! It was a pleasure to read your kind words, appreciated.
How is your experience so far? Mine just arrived, and I'll be using it on my first trip back to the the States in 3 years. I'm loving the camera so far.
Decided to go in for the x S10
Thank you for a very comprehensive review of the S10's exposure settings. Not many videos about S10 are out there, and fewer still with your level of explanation!
My pleasure! Thanks for taking the time to comment.
You are correct most videos are reviews not how to use this camera as this video is. I just got this camera and there is lot to learn for a newbie like me. At least now I can set it the Mode to M and can now actually focus using the lens.
@@cubehire3653 Thanks for your kind words.
I watched countless videos to both decide to buy this camera (my first mirrorless) and then even more to learn how to use it. This was by far the best video I have seen. I will certainly rewatch it with camera in hand multiple times. I just got my camera this week. Thank you, Maarten!
Thanks for the kind words, always great to know that my videos are useful and appreciated.
One of the best tutorials I have ever seen. I salute you sir!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for your kind words.
These videos are so well explained and thorough, I almost feel guilty getting all that knowledge for free. Thank you very much! I really appreciate your videos.
Glad you like them, no need to feel guilty, thanks for the kind words.
Thank you Maarten, your VDO is very details and also showing how to setting make me understood after bought xS10. I watch many times.
Thank you again from Thailand
Glad it helped, thanks for taking the time to comment.
NO ONE CAN TOUCH THIS Gentleman! Par excellence. Nuff said!
That's more than enough, thanks for your kind words. Incidentally, there are a few people who are allowed to touch me.
@@MaartenHeilbron Thank You for the reply, and humour, and You’re Welcome! Looking forward to you getting the new XT-5 and your thoughts on it. Best!
I'm looking forward also.
Hi Maarten, thank you. This is the best video on X-S10 I've ever seen.
Great work!

Wow, thanks! A real pleasure to read your kind words.
I’m new to photography and your videos are a godsend. Thank you
Happy to help! Thanks, I appreciate your kind words.
Thanks man!.. Exposure is a complex subject, you make it easier to understand.
Always nice to read that my videos are appreciated, thanks for your kind words.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video -- it's easy for someone to follow and catch on to a new system. Personally, I appreciate the detailed walkthrough, as it helped me evaluate whether I would find it easy to operate this camera's PSAM mode vs the Fujifilm X-T30 ii's multiple dials.
Always nice to read that viewers appreciate my videos, thanks for commenting.
What a great, calm and super informative video! Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it! Always a pleasure to read kind words.
A bit late to the party but I just bought a X-S10 and this video was extremely helpful and informative. You present in a clear and thoughtful manner which is much appreciated and in a way that doesn't go over the head of nubs like me! Thankyou and subscribed :)
Thanks for the kind words and the subscription!!
Thank you for your service! Amazing video quality, content, and presentation. Worth the instant sub!

Please, feel free to repeat that as often as you feel compelled to do so. It always falls on thankful and appreciative ears.
Thanks Martin, as usual, superb info.
Thanks, I appreciate your kind words.
Thank you so much for your this video. Just got a brand new X-S10 and your video is amazing!
Always nice to read that my videos are useful and appreciated, thanks!!
Great stuff as always. Thanks Maarten!
Always my pleasure - thanks for your kind words.
I just bought this camera, and your videos are so fantastic. Thanks.
Glad you like them! Thanks for the kind words.
This was a very helpful video. I was goofing up my EV on manual with auto iso I have figured out the issue. Sharing the menus is very helpful. I have changed a number of settings after watching your video. This is my first "real" camera so I have alot to learn. Very kind of you to do these videos. I love Fuji cameras especially the sensor Thank your sharing your information.
Great to hear! Always nice to read that viewers appreciate my videos.
Merci beaucoup ! Bien expliqué et détaillé. Exactement ce dont j'avais besoin 😊🙏
Ce fut un plaisir de lire vos gentils mots, toujours agréable de savoir que mon contenu est apprécié. Merci mille fois.
thank you so much for this video! I´ve learned so much
I'm so glad! Thanks for your kind words.
Thanks Maarten, a very helpful video to a newbie XS10 owner like me!
Great to hear! Always nice to know my work is appreciated.
Another outstanding video Maarten.
A pleasure to read your kind words, thanks!!
thank you for your beautiful videos!
Glad you like them! Thanks for your kind words.
Professional, informativ, academic 👍🏻
I'm very appreciative of your kind words, thanks!!
Thanks for the swell presentation, Maarten. I've watched several of your videos. Up until now I've only been using point and shoot cameras, currently Canon G16. I stopped using auto quite a while ago. I shoot mostly landscape photography while on hikes. This will be my first Fujifilm. I was originally drawn to the X-T30, but lately the X-S10 has been calling me more, mainly because of IBIS, better auto focus and low light, and the larger grip, which seems more ergonomic if I get a 55-200. I think I'll begin with an XF 18-55 with either I decide upon. I'll subscribe and look forward to seeing more of you! Cheers, Steve
Sounds like a good plan, I have nothing to suggest to improve on that.
Thanks, your video’s are very helpful.
Glad you like them! Thanks for your kind words.
Thank you so much, very well explained!

@@MaartenHeilbron thanks for your reply... Without your tutorials I would not be able to use my xs-10 for its full potential...
@@rajago4666 I'm glad to hear they're useful, thanks again.
Thanks, Marten, for another very informative video. You asked for suggestions on anything you might have missed: Some of your viewers may want to learn more about the new "SP Scene" mode because this is a new feature on an "X-xxx Series" camera. It's a bit awkward to use because you have to go into the Q menu to change scene modes after selecting "SP" on the Mode dial but it is still functional. It may be particularly appealing to X-S10 users coming from Canon Rebels or point-and-shoot cameras. Actually, scratch that last comment--I've been shooting for 20 years now and I still find some of the scene mode settings to be fun to experiment with.
Right, good tips, thanks for your kind words.
New x-s10 user here. Also new to photography. Thank you so much for filming these x-s10 videos! I watched them all and learned a lot!
Awesome, thank you! Always nice to know my videos are appreciated.

Great 👍 thanks a lot for sharing your secrets
My pleasure 😊
I was checking to see your review on the new Fuji offerings and noticed I had not given you the deserved thumbs-up for this video, so here it is, "Thumbs-up" for this review and allow me to add, I am eagerly awaiting your opinion on the new 50S & X-E4!
As always, a pleasure to see your avatar pop up among the comments. And as always, thanks for your kind words.
The X-E4 is on its way (courier problems - should have had it yesterday). Not sure I'm the right person to review the GFX100S, but will continue to consider it as a possibility.
This channel deserve way more views 👍
Thanks for your kind words.
Very good comunication style. MARTIN, I preciated your video nice work and soon I will change Nikon D90 for Fuji x-s10.
Thanks for your kind words.
Thank you so much. Coming from Sony cameras I couldnt find the way to control contrast, this helped a lot
Glad I could help! Thanks for your kind words.
Very helpful videos ☺️... thanks a lot ♥️
I appreciate your kind words, thanks for commenting.
Great video, thanks a lot!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for your kind words.
@@MaartenHeilbron Do you also have any recommendations for lenses? I have a 16-55 f2.8 als I want a super wideangle zoom. Should I go 10-24 or 8-16? SIze and weight is not an issue for me. I want to use it for photo (landscape, travel) and also video + a little bit of vlogging.
So useful! Thanks.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for taking the time to comment with your kind words.
Thank you thank you! I just took my XS 10 out for its first adventure out to the dam near me. I do wish it was weather sealed has it started to sprinkle a little I had to wrap it up.
I would not worry about a few sprinkles. I am grateful for your kind words, thanks!!
Very helpful for new user like me!
Glad to hear that! Thanks for your kind words.
Thank you, Marteen for this great video! I just bought a X-S10 and am still new to the field of photography. There's lots to learn for me! I primarily want to take landscape photos of sunrises and sunsets which is very difficult to find the right settings for. Of all the ways to take a good HDR photo, which do you recommend as the best one? I have read about "expose for the highlights and adjust the shadows in post", auto exposure bracketing and the HDR mode on the fuji. Which do you think results in the best images?
Looking forward to your reply. Thanks again for your insights!
You will get the best sunset/sunrise images by keeping the exposure slightly low as that increases the saturation of the colours. Expose for the brightest object (the sun) and then reduce the exposure slightly.
As for HDR, the best technique is to bracket several exposures with a range 1-2 stops above/below and combine them using your computer.
Amazing
Thanks, I appreciate the kind word.
A little late but this video was very helpful, thanks!
To be fair, I posted this video 18 months ago - January 2021.
Thanks Maarten for a very helpful video. I'll be testing the camera this weekend and am considering purchasing it with the 70-300mm lens for bird photography as upgrade from a canon SX 60. My other 'larger' choice would be a second hand canon d7 mark 2 with the 1st generation 100-400mm lens which was a hit among nature photographers. Would you have any advice as I consider 'budget' options? The downside of the x-s10 is battery life, lack of weatherproofing and possibly slower auto focus?
A second battery, or simply powering the camera from a USB-C power delivery source are easy solutions to battery life. While the X-S10 is a great camera, I think you might be better off with the Canon solution.
This is great!
Always nice to know that viewers appreciate my work.
that was top class sir only thing im a baby to get all as many mentioned i have to revisit this a lot to learn and understand. a time to time or continuous headings on the subject spoken will help beginners like me. thank you very much sir . hare krishna
Glad it was helpful!
Hello Maarten. As always, you did a fabulous job of explaining the details of the menu of this camera. One question....for HDR you indicated that it would be necessary to do this in post....using a photo manipulation application. In reviewing the owner's manual for this camera (I'm considering buying one) on page 94 it says that the camera is capable of doing the stacking internally...like pretty much every other modern camera I've owned. Is it indeed possible to create the finished image in camera? Also, in auto mode will the camera automatically invoke HDR when warranted?
The camera does indeed have an in-camera HDR. The camera will not invoke that mode automatically. When you use HDR auto setting, it decides the amount of exposure differential between the three images that the in-camera HDR needs.
What I was referring to in the video was exposure bracketing. When you use that feature, up to 9 images can be taken, and if you want to combine those into an HDR image, you'll have to do that in your photo software.
You are a brilliant teacher Maarten, Good on you for taking out time and share your knowledge with us all. I recently bought Fujifilm X-S10 to record videos. I would check your channel to see if you've shared any knowledge how to video on recording videos using this camera. if not, then I would really appreciate if you could make one :D
FYI I'm using the kit lens as well bought an Viltrox 13mm F1.4 for vlogging and night time videos.
Any guidance would be highly appreciated, Keep up the good work. Love from H&M
Thanks, a pleasure to read your kind words. I have many videos about the X-S10, including this one about video: th-cam.com/video/wTF7jLrm6eE/w-d-xo.html
Thank you I am enjoying learning with you but still overwhelmed. I just "graduated" from a Canon Rebel 5 to the Fuji X-S 10. Which video is a good place to start. I am improving but SO much to learn.
Always nice to welcome new grads to my class. Thanks for your kind words. I'm not sure what to suggest, but my "Everything you need to know" is probably a good start. th-cam.com/video/wmomwFw5yWg/w-d-xo.html
Great video. Is there an option to assign ISO to front command dial- Not auto iso but be able to choose iso 200 etc. I typically have everything in manual mode
Yes, you can.
Your videos are so detailed and incredibly useful! Thank you so much for taking the time to share with us!
I had a couple suggestions for a video tutorial, first I own a fujifilm X-A5 that I love, and unfortunately after spending hours and hours online and combing through the online manual. They have no tutorial on Bulb mode:(
The newer camera have it directly on the main dial but older ones don’t, and honestly I can’t find it anywhere:(
Another suggestion if you have not done one already, would be going through all the settings in the camera, and just as you did show in this video, what box to check and why etc…
Hope I didn’t cross the line by offering my thoughts, thank you so much
No, always happy to have suggestions. At this point, the X-A5 has gone back to Fujifilm Canada.
@@MaartenHeilbron thank you so much for your reply Maarten, really appreciated !
Nice informative video...
Thanks a lot, your kind words are appreciated.
Thanks for the very good video again. Are you sure the metering mode is always ”multi” in the video mode? If I change the focusing area by touching the screen during the vide recording it often changes the iso/shutter speed also on bases of brightness of the focus area. Even more weird it did not happen after I changed the ”interlock spot AE & Focus area” to ”off” in the stills mode. Could you check this?
Interesting, I'll have to try that. That's the information I got when I checked with my Fujifilm tech contact.
@MaartenHeilbron
Your explanation is both charming and endearing, showcasing your genuine passion for photography.
What a pleasure to read your very kind words. Thank you!!
What a video! It's marvelous! And you're a wonderful and kind person. I still have to decide whether to buy myself a X-S10 or a X-T30... what would you suggest?
Thanks for your kind words. The X-S10 is the better camera, but if price is a concern, you will most likely be happy with the X-T30.
@@MaartenHeilbron Yes I have to admit that price is a concern. Sadly.
Subbed! I picked up an XS-10 (18-55 kit) a week ago as my first true “camera”. Your video tutorials have been a godsend! I have already moved on from Auto mode to shooting with aperture priority thanks to you, and am seeing great results almost immediately. I am eyeing that 70-300 lens coming out later this month. Will you be reviewing it?
But, of course! th-cam.com/video/aGaAP35eBog/w-d-xo.html
Hey , Maarten!
Thanks again for this very helpful video. Exposure settings make me struggle sometimes, especially during shooting video...
However, practise helps :-)
Best wishes!
Kamil
Thanks for your kind words, always appreciated.
Thanks for this rapid response . So the speed dial goes to 30 seconds and then on to bulb?
The longest shutter duration (shutter priority or manual mode) before bulb is 15 minutes. Bulb up to 60 minutes.
awesome video!! thanks mate.
For some reason my left dial is not working as exposure control, even on manual... so weird.
Thanks for the kind words. Sometimes a reset resolves issues that seem to have no other solution. I wish the manual was more clear about the cases when the controls were not available.
@@MaartenHeilbron awesome, I’ll give it a go.
Thank you kindly
Thank you 🙏🏽
You are so welcome, thanks for the kind words.
Thanks
I appreciate your kind words.
thia is a great video with reach informations.
Thank you for your very kind words, they are appreciated.
Always great detail and pacing with your tutorial. I have a not so advanced camera because that's all i can afford. The xa7. Is there a way to control the exposure compensation on this one? I can't seem to.
Oh i just found out on the Q menu there j
Is a sun icon. 🌞 😂
Ugghh the thing is on manual mode, it doesn't appear but appears on Apperture priority mode. Any way it could appear on manual mode? 😢
There are only three settings to manage exposure - aperture, shutter and ISO.
Exposure compensation is not a fourth setting, rather a way to easily adjust the settings that are under the camera's computer control in P, A and S modes. As a result, exposure compensation is not available in manual mode.

I am more into heritage photography covering monuments. Considering it's compact size and silence of a mirror less I think it should be good. Can you give some tips on the suitable lens and ideal settings as I would be mostly shooting in daylight ( morning and evening times) and in the open. I need fast autofocus, handy to carry around and use it discreetly with a wide dynamic range . Please oblige with your learned views .
Your lens should be 23mm or wider (16 is probably ideal). Use a tripod, a smaller aperture (f11, f16), and a slower shutter speed. If the shutter duration is long enough (1/15 or more) then the pedestrians/tourists will blur or even disappear. You don't need fast autofocus as monuments tend to be very slow moving.
For portraits can you share the best settings for sharpest images??
Use AutoFocus with face detect.
Thank you for your great X-s10 videos. I just ordered mine, and should be following your tips, soon. I would appreciate your view on ISO. Will I be able to set ISO in Aperture mode? And, what is the "real limit" on ISO for publishing? My last camera was a 35mm film product. I used ISO 100 film almost exclusively, and never over 400 indoors. Aperture mode was my default. Tripods are my family. Thanks for your reply.
A pleasure to read your kind words. ISO can be adjusted in all modes, including manual (a recent advance in digital cameras). This enables you to set both aperture and shutter manually, but still take advantage of AutoISO.
I recommend that you do your own tests to determine which ISOs are acceptable to you - but I think that you will find ISOs up to 1600 are perfectly suitable.
@@MaartenHeilbron Thank you, sir.
You are very knowledgeable on cameras and I would like to know is the Fuji XS10 A better photography camera than the Sony a 6600?
Thanks for the kind words. It's not better, just different.
@@MaartenHeilbron Can I ask you what is the difference?
@@mmitchell6509 The way it looks. The way it feels in your hand. The way the controls work. Some features are also different. Google knows.
Hi Maarten, I would like to know what camera you would recommend that i a pocket camera like the Sony DSC-HX9V but has at least 30 X Zoom, it doesn't matter the make or Year... Thank you Chiquito.
With apologies, I have no awareness of cameras like that.
Excellent! I understand the rules the camera follows for each of the Dynamic Range and DR Priority settings, but not the consequences. I’ve used Tone Curves on another camera, and in post, but I don’t know how the results for DR & DR Priority differ from tone curves. You chose “Strong” for DR Priority. Is that robust? Bad if you intended extreme contrast, with all highlights blown and all shadows black, I guess, but otherwise?
First, my respect for understanding the rules of DR and DRP. I have no idea what they're up to. Mostly (as in the examples in the video) there's very little, if any, difference in the DR settings. Strong DRP just feels like an extremely flat tone curve. Note, of course, that these are JPEG effects, not RAW. I am grateful for your kind words.
@@MaartenHeilbron I recently saw a video that shows, that the DR does effect RAW
@@UrdenDrizztDo I've read that as well, but I can't seem to prove it to myself.
Whoops you just answered my question😎
Great!
Vielen Dank!
Niets te danken.
Hello dear sir. Another great guide for newcomers. I'm a video shooter mainly and I recently found out from the XT-30 tutorial from a TH-camr (I forgot the name) that in the video in the DR400 setting, if we use compensate dial to turn it -1 we obtain a good balance of highlight recovery and shadow detail, and if turned to -2, we recover the highlight completely while maintaining the shadows to the same level as before. Can you shed some light on this and verify or make a tutorial on this ?
This is one approach, used when you're using Eterna film sim. However, I would recommend you use manual exposure, rather than auto with EV adjustment and just set the exposure (aperture or ISO) to reveal the details you need. There are lots of ways to play with the highlight/shadow curve to work with highlight and shadow details - I recommend staring with the classic chrome film sim. I'll put a video on this topic on my todo list. No promises.
@@MaartenHeilbron Thank you so much ☺️
New X-S10 owner here, thanks so much for the excellent video
Nice to know that my videos are appreciated, thanks!!
@@MaartenHeilbron your welcome
So in the M setting the ISO will be in "auto"? Or do you have to make a menu selection for "auto iOS in M"?
The exposure setting at M does not include the ISO, only the aperture and shutter duration. The ISO is set independently.
Is there a similar option to the T mode in other fuji cameras. Whatvabout a bulb mode
Bulb mode yes, timer no.
Subscribed! Great videos! Just got the camera, still in the box. In the reviews they were saying its an entry level beginners model... but from your videos I see it’s quite a complex device and I’d need to invest a lot of time to understand how the features work as I’m a total beginner. I’ll try my best...
In my book, any camera with a viewfinder, interchangeable lenses, APS-C sensor, full manual exposure and focus controls that saves RAW is not an entry level model. Thanks for your kind words.
Thank you so much for this video. As intuitive and user-friendly Fuji menus are, there are some mysteries that are impossible to solve without outside help. The issue of exposure compensation on manual mode is one of them. Alas, exposure compensation in MM can only be "activated" when ISO is set to Auto. Why? why?
I appreciate your kind words, thanks. This is not an issue, as there are only 3 exposure variables - and exposure compensation isn't one. I did a more detailed video about this issue: What to do when exposure compensation stops working th-cam.com/video/oVT_H7ZeARw/w-d-xo.html
@@MaartenHeilbron Many thanks. I will check it out. Cheers!
Love your content! I bought a new X-S10 last year and I really like it, however I noticed a problem, it took the camera's screen and EVF more than 12 seconds to light up from sleep. When the camera is in sleep, and I half pressed the shutter button, I can hear the IBIS started to work but the screen and EVF just took way too long to wake up, missed a few moments because of this. The camera is running the latest 1.0.2 firmware. I wonder if your X-S10 has the same issue or it's by design? Thanks!
Yes, it's best to turn it off - getting it up from sleep takes longer.
@@MaartenHeilbron Thanks for the quick reply! Actually I played around the buttons today and worked out the way to make it wake up *almost* instantly - just press (or half press) the shutter twice! So when the camera is in sleep mode, first half press does nothing, then the second half press brings up EVF (or screen, depends on the camera position) in less than half second. I guess it's by design but I still prefer if the camera could fully wake up on the first button press.
@@zwp703 Good tip, thanks!
hi Maarten ,
I have a question about shooting in manual using the view finder on the x-s10...when having set exposure, the effects of changing shutter speed against aperture settings donot appear in live view as I expect they must...what have I done to cause this?...thank you
Unless the camera is in full manual (aperture, shutter and ISO) you won't. Then, there are two settings in the menu - preview exp/wb and natural live view that control the display options. The manual isn't clear, so you may need to experiment to find the settings that please you.
thank you Maarten, this got me home to where I want to be...full manual, no worries...cheers!
You videos are very helpful.
I wish the xs10 had the traditional "focus mode" selection dial on the front.
For a serious amateur photographer (85% photos, 15% video) would you recommend the xs10, the xt3, or the xpro2?
Thanks.
I would recommend the X-T3 or X-S10. Thanks, a pleasure to read your kind words.
Great summary, Maarten! I really enjoy your videos and this one is no exception.
I noticed that the left dial usually used for film simulations can be configured for ISO setting as well. Isn't this the better option than EV in manual mode?
Thanks, I appreciate your kind words. Where did you notice that? It's certainly not mentioned in the manual, and it's not one of the three options in the current firmware (1.02).
@@MaartenHeilbron I am sorry for this untaught statement. I don't even own this camera.
Actually I saw this option in Gordon Laing's initial review:
FUNCTION (Fn) SETTING -> Fn DIAL SETTING -> ISO (on page 3 from 5)
Maybe I misunderstood this completely.
@@martinwolf2619 That is 100% false. I also had a pre-prod for my "loves/hates" video and it didn't do that.
@@MaartenHeilbron Thank you!
What? My X-S10, with firmware v1.02, offers 5 pages of options for the Fn Dial, including ISO - which is the setting I use. I shoot in Manual mode (mostly) and find the Fn dial easier to operate than the dedicated ISO button.
Thanks Mr. Maarten, your content is very useful for me. I'm starting cooking vlog with X-S10 and xf 16-80 f/4 but lighting setup is not so good. Could you please help me some good lighting setup for cooking vlog. thank so much
I would suggest that you purchase a studio lighting kit with 3 good sized LED fixtures.

Please tell about fuji Xc 16-50 budget lens. Is the lens good with xs-10 or not. plz.....❤️
There are many better lenses.
Waoh! Thanks for your explanation and your experience! I bought xs10 kit 18-55 tree days ago and this video help me too much! Can you do a video that explains all about focus with this camera? I'm having problems with infinite focus that's not infinite and can't focus stars at night 😔 I try to put 10 metres this night to shoot. I noticed that if you change focus from the lower to infinite, It goes far after infinite. It's troubleshooting me!
This should help: th-cam.com/video/mu_iDi0VfvA/w-d-xo.html
However, turning the ring all the way to infinity can be a mistake. Watch the blue bar in the on-screen manual focus ruler - don't go further than you need. That tip is here: th-cam.com/video/Or03fm7MwKw/w-d-xo.html
@@MaartenHeilbron thanks! You helped me!! But an only thing, when I set the white point to infinite in the blue bar, everything and stars are out of focus, I don't why. To focus stars i have to set the white point between 10 metres and infinite (under the "m") 😂. With my Canon I have so set to infinite to focus them. It's strange for me
@@Flobulo95 I prefer Fujifilm's approach on this.
Thanks for the video - review. ( Big LIKE ). You are an excellent expert. So far I have had a Canon EOS 70D and a simple camcorder. I don't want a big heavy camera in nature anymore and not two devices. I'm looking for a good camera solution that makes great photos and videos. Would you recommend Fuji X-S10? Thank you for your reply .
Thanks!! Indeed, I would and do recommend the X-S10. It's a lovely little piece of kit.
@@MaartenHeilbron Thank you very much for your answer. I only asked about contradictory focus reports while recording a video ...
@@ivortomana Always happy to help. There are not many cameras that have excellent focus for video. In general, I recommend using manual focus, as in most cases the distance from the camera is not changing - and that makes it very obvious if the camera can't be steady.
@@MaartenHeilbron Thank you very much Maarten for your help. (My second favorite was the Panasonic Lumix G9 ... but bigger and heavier ...)
@@ivortomana and substantially less capable autofocus. Otherwise, a great camera for video production.
When I set manual, auto iso and Fn-D dial to the second default, the exposure compensation dial acts as a light meter, not as exposure compensation. Anyone know why? Thanks.
Exposure compensation is a shortcut to adjust a setting that's otherwise automated. If none of the exposure settings - aperture, shutter, ISO - are auto, then you are in complete control, there's nothing the camera can adjust as "exposure compensation", as you've decided to control all of the settings.
The EV display turns into a light meter to assist you in selecting the right settings. It's all explained and demonstrated here - "What to do when exposure compensation stops working". th-cam.com/video/oVT_H7ZeARw/w-d-xo.html
How to control EV in Manual mode? When i am shooting in manual mode, EV is changing automatically , I can’t able to control it….how can i do that?? Can you help me out?
There are three exposure settings - aperture, shutter duration and ISO. When one (or more) of these are in the A (auto) position, the EV adjusts the automated setting to adjust the exposure to your preference. When you use manual, there is no setting for EV to adjust, so it's disabled. This might help: th-cam.com/video/oVT_H7ZeARw/w-d-xo.html
Is this camera a better option for videos than Sony A6400 or even a6600?
Although it has a higher bandwidth (200 vs 100), in general, no.
@@MaartenHeilbron you addressed exactly my concern, higher bitrate. Thanks!!!
What is Dynamic Range?
The difference between the darkest and brightest objects in a scene. When a scene has a range that's larger than the sensor can accommodate, you'll either be under or over exposing some part of the image.
Using dynamic range tools compresses the range so that the sensor can capture the range in the scene within the sensor's ability.
Was filming with XS 10...controlled indoor lighting manual ss/apeture but auto iso. My exposure kept pulsing from lighter to darker and back again, until I finally decided to go all manual. Not sure what was going on there. Have you experienced this?
Spot metering?
@@MaartenHeilbron I had it on face/eye detect. So the metering was locked on that
@@hasenmyer Try changing the meter mode to centre or matrix, that might calm it down. Maybe it's just searching and alternating between faces and the scene, or thinks it's found a face, even if it's not there?
@@MaartenHeilbron I was filming a talking head shot so I had eye face detect on. Guess I could try manual focus and then switch my metering mode. Any way to turn sensitivity down on metering?
@@hasenmyer If the camera to subject distance isn't changing, I always use manual focus (even though the X-S10 is quite reliable). Interesting request! That's not a feature I've seen on any camera.
Sir , how to get Bulb mode in xs10 ??
The camera must be in manual exposure mode.
@@MaartenHeilbron i got in on manual mode , after 15”00”
Happy to help.
Any strong opinions on lenses for the XS-10?
This is getting a little old - th-cam.com/video/t0vnL908gng/w-d-xo.html. I am working on a few new lenses.
@@MaartenHeilbron Yes, please. Highly welcomed, especially because most of the older Fuji lenses are not perfect for video. Even the XF 35 F2 has crazy focus breathing. Do we have to wait for Sigma for some perfect hybrid lenses?
@@martinwolf2619 Lower your expectations. They were not designed nor sold as video lenses.
If you have pro standards or aspirations for video work, the MKX series th-cam.com/video/URaTdC-1MSA/w-d-xo.html are recommended. However, if you are using non-video lenses, I recommend that you do not use continuous autofocus and that you do not zoom - particularly if you are aware of issues like breathing.
@@MaartenHeilbron Yes, I know. Unfortunately Sony seems to be the better option for serious video work. For the beginning I would be happy with a prime lens which is capable of continuous AF and focus rack.
@@martinwolf2619 I don't understand "unfortunately".
According to Fuji Guys youtube channel, body is magnesium alloy, not plastic.
They're probably right. (And I posted the correction in the description)
👍😀
Were your ancestors from Germany? Because i was born in Heilbronn ,-)
I have no idea. Were there any Heilbrons in Heilbronn? My uncle used to tell a joke about going to the city hall in Heilbronn and asking if there was any inheritance that he could claim. :-) I was born in the Netherlands (as were my grandparents), quite close to the border, so anything is possible.
@@MaartenHeilbron Not really, Heibronn means "sacred well". Perhaps someone called you "people from Heilbronn"... But you should try it. Heilbronn is the richest city in Germany ;-)
@@thorstenbrand4803 That's interesting - I was previously told it meant healthy springs (like a spa). That's good to know, I'll keep that in mind.
Marten and Pal2tech you both guys awesome..
