This is hands down the best instructional video available for the XT3. No fluf or over produced ego tripping, just packed full of good clear precise information. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much. Excellent work and I agree with the other comments, Fuji should employ you to make there instructional videos :)
It's always a pleasure to read the kind words from my subscribers, thanks.
Fujifilm should pay you for this priceless video!👍😍
But then I'd have to tone down the snarky comments, and you'd think I was selling out. I prefer to stay on this side of the fence.
There's a soothing element in your videos, like watching a Bob Ross painting tutorial, but different. Thank you and keep making quality videos!!
Wow, thank you! Sadly, I've never watched a Bob Ross painting.
Reminded me how much we miss new content from Maarten. Thankful we have the previous content so when I decided to pick up a xt3 for fun a few weeks ago I still have a pro to help set up. Many thanks.
Always nice to read from a viewer that appreciates my content, thanks!
That's the best freaking camera tutorial I have ever seen.
How kind of you, thanks for commenting, appreciated.
Just bought this camera about a month ago... Needles to say I have been completely blown away by the amount of functions that fuji has put into this body. Now i need to get a lens that will do it justice
It is a very complex and powerful device. Try the 16-55, it's a worthy lens for this model.
Photojournalism as it should be! Superb Professional illustration and instruction, without doubt, THE best on TH-cam, by far!
Many thanks, Maarten! Please consider publishing E books which we can purchase and always have with us for reference.
Always a pleasure to see your avatar in the comments, and as always I appreciate the kind words. Let me think about that as a concept - and thanks for the suggestion. There is an e-book version of the X-T2 settings that I published with FujiLove magazine.
It is possible to get a link to that e-book version of the X-T2?
The online manuals are always easy to find just Google "(name of camera) manual pdf". The manual for the X-T2 is on this page: fujifilm-dsc.com/en/manual/x-t2/
Never judge a book by its cover!!!
Mr. Heilbron, let me begin by saying that I did judge the first few seconds of your video (mainly the lighting) so much that I almost didn’t continue watching, and that would have been VERY UNFORTUNATE, because this is by far one of the MOST EDUCATIONAL and KNOWLEDGEABLE videos I’ve ever watched, not just about the X-T3 but also about video and first steps into a more advanced path with color grading and such.
Please forgive me for misjudging your video and accept my gratitude.
A few highlights:
- i watched dozens of videos about the X-T3 and they all say “you can’t lock your exposure settings in video mode in case you have to switch to stills for a couple of shots” You showed otherwise! Very important feature specially for someone like myself that have to do that in the middle of shooting.
Your explanation of focus peaking and zebra was priceless.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I was sad at the end of your video for 2 reasons: 1- i wish it never ended. And 2 - there are more people like myself out there and you only have 35k Views and 78k subscribers meanwhile a bunch of “know NOTHING” out there are breaking the 1 mil subscribers.
I am just a huge fan of yours now and just too passionate about your video!!!
Thank you
Thanks for letting me know. The video was recorded at the TH-cam Tokyo studio, and we had tough time getting both the Tokyo tower and me properly exposed. And thank you very much for your kind words, they are appreciated.
As a new fuji-xt3 owner comng from sony, o really learned alot in this video and still have to learn, Maarten i sincerely thank you for this video that no other youtuber has made.
It’s a great pleasure to know that my viewers appreciate my videos, thanks for commenting.
I have to say this is one of the most information packed video I have ever seen regarding "how to". Other youtube channels always just chop them up in tiny pieces and most of them have 0 idea how to work at professional level.
That's so kind of you - thanks for taking the time to comment.
The best detailed reviewer in the planet TH-cam!! Appreciate your every videos. Its most informative and relevant on subject than anything fancy. Thank You sir for all your effort and educational content.
That's very kind, thanks for taking the time to comment, appreciated.
This is a bit of an older clip, but the detail of information and how it was delivered, not only makes it relevant but also makes it a real pro, easy to understand and easy to follow. I wish I've could found this channel before I bought my crappy canon. But anyway, agreed on hands down to Mr. Heilbron. I immediately subscribed and added my like (I had to).
Thanks for that! Always nice to hear from a new viewer who's found my videos worthwhile.
Just picked up the camera today while shooting in India for a few months. Lots to absorb here but great content that I will refer to often. Thank you!
It was a pleasure to read your kind words, always nice to hear that my content is useful and appreciated.
I don’t know if I’ve commented before but this video has helped me so much especially regarding focus settings, thanks so much.
I'm so glad! Always nice to know my videos are appreciated.
We bought a X-T3 at work, after comparing it with the a7iii (thanks to your different videos about it, too), and I must say that I absolutely do not regret this purchase!
I still haven't tested all the capabilities it has, video-wise, but I'm really pleased with it.
Thank you for this helpful video, I will share it with my colleagues. :)
I certainly appreciate your kind words, it's always nice to hear that I've provided helpful content. Thanks for sharing.
This is honestly the most concise video of this nature that I have seen, and as questions pop up in my mind you dismiss them in the next moment. I don't have the camera yet but am considering switching, and I'm watching every video I can to make sure I don't make a mistake as I really do love my Nikon d750. Your clip has been incredibly insightful on all the most valuable video aspects - specifically the ease of use for focus assistance and the 48 shutter settings. These are things very few other people cover, they are all just stuck on the film simulations...which are great...but I needed more than that. Honestly remarkable. Humblest Thanks.
How kind of you to say, thanks for your thoughtful comments, they are appreciated.
A million thanks! This video is so clear and packed with information I've had to watch it a few times, and took notes. I've always been a stills photographer, but have just been hired by a charity in Vietnam to do both stills and video. I am utterly lost, but I think you may have just saved me!
Great, always nice to hear that I've provided useful and helpful information for my viewers.
Great explanation of F-LOG. I'll save it for situations that really need it.
If not now, when? Thanks for your kind words, always nice to know I've provided useful information.
OOOMMMGGGGG!!!!! i rarely comment on videos like this..... but OMG was this video helpful... all these details nobody else talks about, all those little codecs and external options no one mentioned...!!! I'll have to watch it again to configure properly my cam and atamos...... thanks!!!!
It was a pleasure to read your very kind comment, thanks for taking the time.
I thoroughly appreciate your thoughtful and meticulously described videos.
It was a pleasure to read your kind words, I do my best to meet both of those criteria.
This was really helpful, thanks. A really good, no gimmicks insightful video with lots of practical tips. I'll be watching more of your content for sure. Cheers
Thank you for your kind words, appreciated!
A vision of clarity, thank you for this! I'm a complete video novice and was able to follow along and get my XT3 all set up and ready to go. Great content.
A pleasure to read your kind words, it's always nice to know that my videos are helpful.
Wow, the tips in this video are incredible. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
It's always a pleasure to read kind words from viewers who appreciate my videos.
2021 and the XT-3 is going strong. Excellent review thank you!
You probably have several more good years to go.
Professionalism at it’s very best superb.
Thanks for your very kind words.
What an amazing tutorial, thanks Maarten! Wrote my first comment in 4 years for this video.
I'm so pleased to hear that you found my content useful, thanks for commenting.
I'm a little confused by your lighting choices, but this video is phenomenal.
This was not the ideal setting. We wanted the Tokyo tower in the background, and got locked to that idea even when we couldn't really light it properly. Otherwise, thanks for the kind words.
Thanks for the tips! I'm subscribing. Watched 13 minutes of this one and had to stop for the night, but got a lot out of it, even for my X-T30. Thank you.
Always nice to know my videos are appreciated, thanks for commenting.
Wow, this was incredibly professional and informative. Thanks a lot Maarten! Can't imagine how one could dislike a video like this.
Thank you, it was a pleasure to read your kind words. I'm an acquired taste.
Fuji I LOVE your flip SCREEN concept! They have in my opinion the best flip screen arrangement on the marked. Makes high/low photo a breeze compared to the Panny/Oly/Canon idea where you have to flip it all the way out before rotating etc which makes you miss the moment. 100% cudos to Fuji here. This vlogging-thingy is just for a few users compared to the large amount of photographers out there.
Hehe, thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Thank you, thank you. I recently got an X-T3 and this was the video I was looking for ... clear and concise instructions.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your kind words.
I can't tell you how many times I've referenced this video. Thanks so much!
That's very kind of you to say, thanks for commenting.
Great video, the Dynamic Range 400 tip was something I hadn't counted on in my learning, so it was really great to hear about that! Thanks a lot! :)
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Sir, this is the second video I see from you and I really love your way to educate and help us as a community. 🙏🔝🔝🔝
Thanks, I appreciate your kind words. Please watch more!
Extremely succinct and valuable, as always Maarten. Thanks for your work on this. Would love to see a quick video on how you hide your mic in your glasses sometime.
Thanks for the kind words - I always try to be succinct. It's really very simple, I just tape the mic using electrical tape. The mic is just inside the arm, then taped again at the end and then you can usually see the cable going behind my ear.
I was searching for a tutorial for recording video with the X-T3. This did the trick. Thanks!
So glad you found my video - and that you found it useful, thanks for taking the time to comment and the kind words.
a much appreciated and informative breakdown. I'm getting my xt3 tomorrow. this is going to help a lot. thank you
Always nice to hear that my content is appreciated, thanks for commenting.
Great show, Maarten. You hit on all the salient points when it comes to shooting video with the XT-3 and video in general, some of which I had to learn the hard way (such as how to get to exposure settings that fall between the manual dial settings, for example). This video is a true crash course and will accomplish exactly what you intended it to do - get someone who is unfamiliar with the camera up and running quickly.
That's very kind of you to say - thanks for understanding exactly what I intend to do with my videos.
thanks so much for this video. I'm new to fujifilm, mirrorless, and cameras with this type of technology. i had my settings so messed up and didn't have a clue how to fix them!
Always nice to know that my videos are useful and appreciated. Thanks for your kind words.
You are amazing! Thanks for this great starter video!
That's very kind, thanks for taking the time to comment.
Best video review for XT3 ever!!
Wow, thanks!!
Once again, fantastic informative video with no BS just helpful information and honest opinions. Thanks for your constant help.
That's very kind of you to say, thanks for taking the time to comment.
Thank you Maarten for a superb illustration of the XT3 video settings. I'm new to video and your extensive and comprehensive tutorial is the best. Many thanks
Always nice to hear from a viewer who's enjoyed my video.
Always the most informative content! Thx Maarten!
A pleasure to read your kind words, appreciated with thanks.
Such a great rundown, Maarten. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it! Your kind words are appreciated.
The best tutorial on TH-cam! 🙌
What a pleasure to read your kind words, thanks for taking the time to comment and emoji.
Maarten Hi! As always your video helped me a lot to get to know more - understanding a great camera like fujifilm Xt3. Still watching other videos as I try to master this camera before I go out for a major shooting activity. Again thanks,
may you have a happy and blessed new year.
Thank you for your kind words and wishes, it's always nice to know i've been helpful.
Maarten - Another example of an excellent review, well worth watching and very informative - I also wish that I was on that beach featured in the video (if you ever need anyone to carry your cases next time, I'm your man)!
Thanks very much to both of you for the Postcard from Tokyo - very kind and thoughtful.
Look after yourself both and keep the great reviews coming - until the next time.
Regards Mark
Thanks for your kind words. Yes, there are lovely beaches in Thailand, and I'll consider your kind offer for the next trip.
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Maarten!
Always nice to know my videos are useful and appreciated, thanks!!
Thank you so much! What a wonderful, detailed and useful video!
A pleasure to read you very kind words, thanks!!
As a new Fuji owner I’m very happy to have these great videos to learn from, Thankyou! 😁
It was a pleasure to read your kind words, thanks!
Thank you Maarten, that was very helpful and no doubt saved me a lot of time. Cheers
That's very kind of you to say, and that's exactly what I'm going for. Thanks.
Thank you for this video Maarten. You truly are a gentleman, scholar and blessing when it comes to your tutorials. Wishing you the very best in 2020 and beyond my friend! 👍 & Sub'd
Thank you. It was a pleasure to read your kind words.
What an excellent video sir. Thank you for taking the time to make this content and share it.
That's very kind of you to say - and it is entirely my pleasure.
Excellent walk-through. Thanks so much for putting this together!
I appreciate your kind words, thanks for commenting.
Perfect for all us Fuji Video Shooters. Thank you Maarten!
Always nice to know my videos have found their intended viewers. Thanks for the kind words.
the best tutorial on xt3 video .
Thanks, I appreciate your kind words.
Fujifilm 16-55 f2.8 LM lens is great for video! Appreciate your detailed review!
Agreed, and thank you for the kind words.
thank you for this.. it greatly helped me. there were a few parts where there were no video, just the blank youtube wallpaper. it would be good if you updated it with the footage.
Those blank parts are not part of the video - maybe you should check your connection?
Another great video with lots of useful information.
Thanks, always nice to hear from a satisfied viewer.
Many thanks for making this helpful videos with tips and hacks for T-3 users. Please make more, we'll be sure to subscribe and share ur videos.
I appreciate your kind words, thanks. You'll find more tips in my X-T3 review. th-cam.com/video/WXX8acwyQPM/w-d-xo.html
And I am working on an X-T3 travel tips video.
Thanks for all the videos, Maarten!
A pleasure to read your kind words, thanks for commenting.
Quite frankly this is the best video pertaining to the Fuji X-T3 on TH-cam. Wishing now that I had a similar video for the Sony PXW-FS7 the first time I rented one.
Thank you so much for this - it released a tremendous amount of stress - I am buying the camera tomorrow for documentary filmmaking and the occasional sojourn into stills photography. If this has already been addressed elsewhere online i am not sure, but with respect to overheating issues (if you don't mind), I have a two-part question:
i) When recording with an Atomos externally, is there a substantial reduction in the risk of overheating?
ii) Does anyone have any controlled data on overheating times on the Fuji X-T3 while using an external recorder at various settings, so as to be safe?
A pleasure to read your kind words, thanks. I would not be overly worried about overheating for the X-T3, unless you are recording in a hot environment (and in that case, any camera will be challenged).
There is a reduction in the risk, but again, with high external temperatures this risk is not eliminated.
I have not seen these kinds of controlled tests, and as each situation is different, they can't really be applied to real world. I can't find any reports of videographers complaining about overheating.
If I were you I'd put these issues to rest.
i've learned a lot from your youtube. you are great teacher for me. thx always
Thank you, that's very kind.
Been running your videos all night. They must be well loaded because my tablet didn’t get stuck at all!
Nice!!!
Dam I had no idea that plugging the charger for the grip will work while shooting, thank you for that useful tip! The whole video was great!
Thanks, always good to know I've provided at least one useful tip.
all I can say this what call it video need to see in TH-cam thank you so much ,its really helpful and pro video
Thanks. A pleasure to read your kind words.
thank you so very much for making this very informative video. I am just getting into making videos and this is so helpful. I also find your reviews to be the best as they are very fair and your not a fan boy!
It was a pleasure to read your kind words, thanks for taking the time to comment.
Awesome video, so glad i found it, thank you for making it!!
Glad you liked it! I appreciate your kind words.
You helped me a lot ! Thanks from Germany . I subbed your Channel
Thanks for your kind words and subscription.
It’s an extensive tutorial with full information. Thanks 🙏🏽 can I use the same settings for my XT4 camera? How to record video with 70-300 Fuji lens? Any special settings required?
These settings will work for the X-T4 also. No sure that’s a great lens for video, but same settings - unless there’s some specific situation.
Maarten awesome job like always!!! Thanks!
Thanks very much for sharing your kind words, appreciated.
Learned a few things for my XT-2 here as well! Thanks.
Thanks for your kind words, always nice to know that my videos are helpful.
Killer stuff sir! Just got my new XT3 and 10 bit internal f-log results are insane. Can you pls go a little more on the when-to and when-not-to go for f-log and the dynamic range redistribution.
It's simple - don't use F-log unless the dynamic range is more than 8 stops. If it is, first try to fix that, and if it absolutely can't be fixed, use F-Log. Either way, you will have to reduce the dynamic range in editing to about 8 stops, as nearly all displays (for now anyway) support an 8 (or so) bit range. The (partial) solution is to use HLG, so that the displays that do support it can take advantage of the higher dynamic range.
@@MaartenHeilbron display shouldn't be a problem, coz I've an Eizo 10 bit grading monitor...what I'm looking for is good dynamic range in images and the log results (after grading) almost always beats the eterna results. Also, the 10-12 bit footages definitely do look better even on 8 bit screens. So I just don't see why I shouldn't be shooting log all the time.
@@rajneessingh222 While I applaud your choice of monitor, you must also consider your audience, who don't have similar quality viewing equipment.
@@MaartenHeilbron What you are saying is ideally correct, but practically I don't see this as a limitation. Last video I edited was 16 bit and it looks phenomenal even on small screens. Same for a GH5 10 bit vs 8 bit video.
@@rajneessingh222 Thanks, but I frankly no longer have any idea what you meant from your original comment - you seem mohave quite enough experience to answer the question.
Incredible good videos so full of information, keep it up!
I appreciate your kind words, thanks for taking the time to comment.
This is excellent! Thank you!
So nice to read that viewers appreciate my content - thanks for commenting.
Very well done and really appreciated!
That's very kind of you to say, thanks for taking the time to comment.
Awesome video. Thanks. This was very very helpful. Subscribed.
Thank you for your kind words, appreciated.
nice - just got an X-T3 - thanks for the tips and hacks
Always nice to know my videos are useful, thanks for commenting.
Superb explanation :) and thanks for sharing.
Thanks, I appreciate your kind words.
Thanks Maarten,
I enjoyed the fast pace that your video provided. I'm am experienced stills shooter wanting to do more video so I was able to keep up with your settings instantly.
It's interesting that many reviewers of the X-T3 rave about the video capabilities (quite rightly) but give us the impression that we should be shooting this camera at warp speed, but in the real world these are not necessarily the best settings for many of us, even the pros.
I have spent hours researching gimbals for the X-T3 Fuji cameras and am keen on the Moza Air 2 but the weight of this gimbal negates the reasons why I switched to mirrorless?
For the moment I am not going to use an external recorder so require the X-T3 screen free of motor mechanisms. I would appreciate your input on this?
Yes of course I subscribed. :)
Thanks for the kind words, and your subscription, appreciated. I agree, if you're producing for youtube or other online distribution, the X-T3's high end settings are more than what's needed (and fill up memory cards super fast!) I'm not sure what your question might be ... what is "screen free of motor mechanisms"?
The Moza Air (or the Ronin-S, which I would recommend) are indeed heavier devices, but they provide functionality that no stills/video hybrid can match. If that's what you need, it's much, much lighter than the steadicam rigs that they replace.
So helpful! Keep it up!
Thank you! Will do!
Thank you for your knowledge. As a thank you I subscribed to your channel :) Please keep up the good work
That's very kind, thanks for commenting and for subscribing.
Just awesome. Thank you.
Thanks for the kind words, they are appreciated.
THANKS FOR SHARING AND FOR THE GOOD WORK!
Always my pleasure, thanks for the kind words - but you might need to have your caps lock key looked at.
Sir, great video, I just needed such a video and details as provided in this, regarding the video settings inX-T3
How kind of you to say, thanks for commenting.
Hi Maarten, now I saw this instructional video again and again and everytime I learned a bit more. Thank You !!! Every time when I see a notice in my e-Mail, that You produced a new video, the day becomes a sunny day.
You mentioned the better quality of the MKX lenses. Could You please comment the quality of the XF 16-55/2,8 in comparison to the MKX 16-55/2,9 ? During travelling abroad 70% of my pictures are stills and 30% videos. In video mode I don't usually use zooming while recording.
Thank you, always nice to hear from a viewer who enjoys my channel, appreciated.
Unless you're doing 100% video work for demanding clients, the MKX lens is overkill. The 16-55 is a great all around lens, and it's what I use.
Wow..That was really helpful. Thank you so much Maarten!
I'm always pleased to read that my videos are useful, thanks for taking the time to comment.
Very happy to find so amazing and clear content about the Fujifilm X-T3. I have a question about. When I record in H265 I can not import the files to Premiere 2019 and I have to convert the codec to H 264. How can I solve this problem? Thanks in advance
I wish I could help, I use FCPX and have had no issues.
I'd suggest you do a little research with Google - I found several useful explanations.
Extremely helpful! Thank you!!!
A pleasure to read your kind words, thanks!
I appreciated my X-T3 more after this!
Thanks, I appreciate the kind words.
Best tutorial ever.
Glad you think so! Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Great review!... Hopefully by the time I pull the trigger and buy the XT3 your videos will have trained me well. One thing I have not been able to determine from any XT3 review video is when using an external recorder (Atomos) can you confirm two things. When filming video in 4K DCI 60P, does it still crop in the sensor when sending over HDMI to the Atomos? Also, what is the maximum bitrate and supported codec when sending 4K DCI 60P over HDMI to the Atomos? Keep up the great reviews!
Thanks, I appreciate the kind words.
The same image is sent to the HDMI out as is recorded on the SD card.
The supported bit rates and codecs are selected and dependent on the external recorder. The camera outputs 4K 60p 4:2:2 10 bit.
Love your personality
So does my spouse. Thanks!
Maarten Heilbron 😂
You're awesome man. Subscribed
Always a pleasure to hear from an appreciative viewer, thanks?
Very helpful for we beginners. Questions: When I switch to Movie Mode why do I need to change from AF-S to AF-C ... it seems to do that automatically? Can you pls consider doing a video on the Sports Finder Mode ... that's not well explained anywhere. Your showing examples is better than trying to read about it.
Thanks, I appreciate the kind words. Yes, it does, but it's helpful to set the switch to remember that's where you are. I do demo sports finder mode in my review, which you might find interesting. th-cam.com/video/WXX8acwyQPM/w-d-xo.html
@@MaartenHeilbron Brilliant rundown on the X-T3 you pointed me to Maarten. So much helpful info. Example: how to use the Wide Focus re 'set focus point to where item enters the screen'. It is hard to find that sort of knowledge. Would be wonderful to see you do more like that?
Another Question: Lots of Shutter choices ... what to use? When? How to minimize changes?
Thanks.
Thanks again for the kind words. I do my best to be honest and detailed. For shutter, use the mechanical shutter unless you have a specific need. I'll think about that as a topic, as more cameras are adding this kind of control, but the reasons to use alternate shutter modes silence the shutter, speed the shutter) are few and finding situations to demonstrate the impact and effects are hard to find.
@@MaartenHeilbron Thx for direction on shutter. Will go MS only right now. Confusing because I want camera to choose best for situation ... but it actually doesn't. Seems the Sports Finder will only actuate if on MS? The shutter choices and operational consequences are not clear; setting to all 3 with idea of "let camera make best choice" negates at least that function ... not intuitive. Thx Maarten ... you're a big help to ordinary folks like me.
Always happy to help. Right, limitations. SportsFinder only works with mechanical, Pre-shot only with electronic ... I found that frustrating (and neither as useful/usable as I'd have liked). Right now my method is to change to one of the others only when necessary.
Great in-depth videos. Honestly I would say these are my favourite on TH-cam! Quick question. In 'Movie Silent Control' mode, can the list of options (ISO, shutter speed, etc.) be navigated with the arrow buttons/AF joystick? Or are you restricted to using the touchscreen to swipe through these options?
Thanks for the kind words. That is an excellent point I should have made or demonstrated - yes, you can use the joystick to navigate, but you must use touch to access the menu. While the mode (in and out of silent) can be set to a function key, activating the menu cannot (as far as I can tell anyway).
@@MaartenHeilbron Thanks for that. Well as long as I can use the joystick to navigate the options that sounds good to me, since I always prefer to use manual controls rather than touchscreen gestures. Looking forward to getting my X-T3 in a few weeks time as a replacement for my Canon 80D!
Using the silent menu, touch works well. Less so for the swipe gestures.
Very useful. Thanks 👍
I appreciate the comment, always nice to know my videos have helped.
Very helpful .. Thank you
I always enjoy the word "helpful" in comments, thanks!
Que calidad de tutorial! el mejor!!
Tu comentario es muy amable, muchas gracias!
