So this is the Ken Rockwell I hear so much about.
Yup! Thanks!
Just got my Xpro3. Been shooting film for the last 3 years (mainly a Nikon FE and Mamiya RB67 Pro-s) and am excited to play with this thing. Thanks for the tips. Clicked a random video and was glad that you were the one who made it. Appreciate you!
Thank you! I have far more about your cameras at my Fuji pages www.kenrockwell.com/fuji/index.htm and my Xpro3 guide www.kenrockwell.com/fuji/x-pro3.htm#usage
Very useful, I think I am sold on the X PRO 3 thanks to the videos!👍
Only good for people pix. I prefer the XT-30 in Fuji, but I’m not a fan of any Fuji other than the x100 series- but we’re all different so hopefully I covered the Fujis strengths and they’re what you need. Thanks!
Thanks.Great vids as always :))
Thank you!!!
Nice Ken, you’re a good teacher!
Thank you!
Ken Rockwell taking TH-cam! Love your work!
Thanks Jaz! I really appreciate it.
just watched the video while waiting for the postman to bring my X-Pro3. Thanks for the nice tips
Thank you!!’
For those who want to monitor both remaining battery and SD card capacity the Standard Sub Monitor setting displays both when the camera is off.
Thank you!
I switched fron Canon to this. I felt I like bit more off than I can chew. Your video was tremendously helpful. Thank you!
Whew! The xpro is a pain to use; it’s not you, it’s the camera’s poor ergonomic design.
Ken, fantastic video. I too would have missed the Fn setting shortcut! Now I have a question when going to the B&W film simulations, you said that the Ye makes it look like it would to our eyes, I thought that would be the STD mode. Can you explain the difference between these two?
Film is overly sensitive to blue. Yellow filter matches film to our eyes spectral sentivity. God only knows what works on digital; try yourself.
@@KenRockwellTV Thank you!
Hi i have purchased one of these. Could you put something up about how to setup the custom settings ie for night shooting everyday black and white . would be really helpful
I don’t use the custom settings. Never could figure them out. See my guide at www.kenrockwell.com/fuji/x-pro3.htm#usage Thanks!
The Fn setting shortcut! Would have totally missed this
Thanks! The battery percentage was the one that even Fujis people didn’t know about.
Thank you, Mr. Rockwell.
Thank you, Mr. H.
Hey Ken, thanks for your insights! As someone who uses an M10r and the x-pro3 recently, I tend to prefer the Fuji experience by a mile. I am interested to know what you think, you being someone who’s very familiar with Leica. Thanks.
I don’t like the Fujis or the LEICAs for actual shooting. Nikon Canon and iPhone have better color rendition for what I shoot, and thus the photos I make with them look better. See www.kenrockwell.com/tech/comparisons/2020-06-leica-versus-iphone-versus-canon-versus-fuji.htm Thanks!
I prefer the way my LEICAs handle over the way my Fujis handle - just that the pictures don’t look as good as with other brands.
May I ask your view on the haptic feedback you get from the shutter button? In my camera, when I half press the button, I need to put a bit of an extra effort to press down the button in order to focus and then the remaining distance till I actually take the photo is minimal with no "click" feeling. It feels a bit soft. How is it in other users?
I don’t recall anything unusual with the xpro3’s trigger pull.
Ken you mention that you use a Leica strap that is 'tooless' to attach to the strap lugs. I'm not familiar with Leica straps can you directly me to the model you mean?
I use the LEICA 14313 get it at www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=leica%2014312&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5336071501&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1
Anyone else notice that the high refresh rate on the EVF only works if you have the shutter button down? I have BOOST on. That doesn't happen on either my H1 or T2. Did I just get a bad one? If not, KEEP YOUR PRO2. That and the frame lines NOT returning to the center like all the other Fuji cameras but the actual focus is in the center. Check it out.
Thanks again!
@@KenRockwellTV Has something to do with the CLARITY setting. I think it's competing with the screen refresh for processor time. New feature I didn't knew I needed so it's not missed. With CLARITY on, pan around with the shutter button 1/2 depressed then while still panning release it.
Hi, im wondering if the screen can tap to focus? Your answer might help md
I forget; I always turn that feature off when cameras have it. It may be in my full written review at www.kenrockwell.com/fuji/x-pro3.htm Thanks!
Ken, I’d love to get your opinion on something…
I’m a professional headshot and portrait photographer, in a small studio and with natural light. I have an XT3 and most recently, a X100V, and I’ve fallen seriously in love with the rangefinder style of the X100. So much so, that I’m considering selling the XT3 to get the XPRO3. I’d love your thoughts on that. I actually like the idea of the “hidden” LCD, and I love the connection with my subject when I look through a rangefinder style camera. It’s intimate and I can feel the camera get out of the way. It feels good to have an eye on my subject.
I have no problem with the XT3, it’s great and reminds me of the old Nikon FE that I trained on as a teen.
I just feel a deep connection to rangefinder style. I trained on film, shooting since I was 13, and something about the analog feel of the XPRO is calling to me, but unsure how it would be for professional headshots and portraits.
Would you feel confident to have the XPRO as a main portrait and even a studio camera? Could it replace my XT3?
I also very occasionally shoot family portraits. My work is all about people and the human connection to clients.
Thanks for any thoughts! I trust your expertise.
The real thing to know is that the xpro series finders aren’t as good as the x100. The simple reason is that the x100 is optimized for only one lens, the 23mm, while the xpro series will have your chosen lens probably only filling a little of the tiny optical finder. By all means get an xpro and try it, but see my written review at www.kenrockwell.com/fuji/x-pro3.htm for details about finder magnification versus lenses. Or heck, get a LEICA M3 www.kenrockwell.com/leica/m3.htm or Nikon SP www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/rangefinder/sp.htm and live it up! They have finders much larger than the tiny xpro finder.
@@KenRockwellTV good to know. I’d love to be able to afford a Leica! Are you saying that even the XPRO 3 EVF is smaller than the X100? How about in comparison to the XT3?
It’s posible to have battery status on the small screen!
Yes! See th-cam.com/video/BZhdCr7lC-M/w-d-xo.html if that’s what you want.
I like the film simulations when shooting video.
But that's more what I use my XT3 for. Xpro is really a street photography gadget.
You can do video, but there is no headphone and it has a worse thermal envelope than the XT3 so it hits limits sooner.
Not sure if you mentioned it but you have to turn on shoot without lens if you use adapted lenses.
Which is under the GEAR menu
Button/Dial setting
Shoot without lens.
(totally logical /s)
Ken, you don't have to jack your voice up to such earsplitting levels.
hi! My levels are very carefully set to TH-cam's standard -14 LUFS. What's the problem? It seems to match everything else. Please let me know; I come from a recording and broadcast background and actually spend far more time recording, processing and editing my audio compared to the vide that just comes from my iPhone. I worry about this a lot, tell me more. My audio will be louder than a very quiet video, but should match just about all normal ones. Hit the gear and "Stats for Nerds" where you can see the average level. TH-cam turns down videos that are any louder than this to prevent overly loud video. Tell me more. Thanks!
Can the front dial be pressed ? Cause my xpro 3 i cant press the front dial
I forget, and it sounds like you have the answer. Thanks!
Any idea why my xpro 3 is buffering after every single shot? Memory card to slow? Works fine in my xt3
Weird. Not sure what you mean, but be sure it’s not set to raw or tif or something odd or data-bloated like that. Even if the card light stays lit, shooting ought not be impacted; that’s why we have buffers: so you don’t have to wait. Thanks!
Just use Continuous Shooting and you won't have to wait.
The Clarity setting is a great one but wrecks havoc with the buffering time on anything other than “0”.
@@rodrigopassingthewater thanks I’ll try this!
@@Shmyrk I forgot to mention that the use of fast cards will also help. If you google “best cards for X-Pro3”, it should give you an idea. Having said this, even if using the fastest cards, your Clarity setting has a big impact on buffering times. Of course, if you’re using slow ones, plus the Clarity setting not on zero, your buffering will be even longer. Not suggesting that you shouldn’t use that setting, just pointing out what may be causing your long buffering times.
This was SO painful. I dumped my X-Pro-2 (and 3 primes) because I like to adjust ISO on the fly and HATED that fiddly dual Shutter Speed/ISO dial. If I had known the X-Pro-3 would allow you to use the front Command Dial (unlike the X-Pro-2, but like the X-E and X-100 series) I would have jumped at it. But the TH-cam universe "influencers" were so focused (pun intended) on that LCD, they forgot to mention that Fuji fixed the most fiddly and annoying (IMHO) aspect of the X-Pro-2. I spent 3 years without a camera I would have loved! Arrgghhh...
Remember that the people who talk the most shoot the least. www.kenrockwell.com/tech/2-kinds-of-photographers.htm
@@KenRockwellTV Turns out...
Haha I actually went out my way and purchased a leica strap when I got my fuji
That strap will outlast the camera! Love mine, thanks!
you can program the battery to display like normal on any screen.
Thanks!
Got the Xpro3 today, I am suprised it doesn't even come with a USB power block? I thought my XT4 is bad when it doesn't come with an external charger....lol
My xt4 came with a USB power adapter and usbc cord - but do any of really need more USB power adapters? Thanks!
I have enough adapters, they clutter my junk drawers.
Fuji's are great if you don't do raw.
Zzz. Thanks!
no, prefer nikon menu
Me too! Nikon and Canon way ahead ergonomically.
Too speed...... Bad!
The whole Fuji system is a pain. I’d go with another brand entirely.
Fuji ruined a X -Pro line by releasing this camera with a stupid and ugly LCD. They should have let users decide to hide or display the LCD.
They want to ensure exclusivity; they don't want "street poseurs" owing this very special instrument. I prefer the X-E3, so I must be a poseur!
I’ll shoot Canon also for over 30 years recall them ever asked users what they should put in a camera.
I’m sure they will make the next one be like the xt4 with just the solid back.
I for one love not having a rear visible LCD. They are just prone to getting scratched, turn on when you don't want them. Besides it's so easy to flip out if you need it. You can review EVERYTHING in the EVF if you so with. It's rather redundant to use the rear lcd. Stick with the Xpro2 :)
