Ive just bought a used X-T20 and OMG was i pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to set A, S and M priority! I bought the camera body only and dont have any fuji lenses with the selector switch and really thought Id bought a pup till I found your video. Thank you so much, the X-T20 manual gives no clue how to do this.
Before watching this video i watched a tutorial which lasted 1:36minutes which was very detailed but i found this video more precise and the view much clearer, with no obstructions. I will definitely watch this video again when i purchase the camera. Thanks.
Awesome tutorial! Thanks for taking the time to shoot, edit and publish it. Just purchased my x-t20 and this really helped me to get started after transitioning from a DSLR.
Thanks Ricky. That's one of the reasons we make these videos. BTW... Since this video was made, there have been a number of additions to the X-T20's capabilities, due to free firmware updates.
I just purchased the X-T20 yesterday. I love the Fuji gear and the control system, but a word of advice: The only downside to Fuji is their lens caps, they suck. Probably the loosest of any manufacturer. So I purchased Sensei metal screw on lens caps for my lenses. Very secure and keeps out dust.
Hello! I have a question, how fast does the XT20 take single photos without and with the flash? (not in the burst mode). How long do you have wait after taking a photo to be able to take another one in both cases? (without and with lamp)
Thanks for asking Richard, but we are not planning on any X-E3 specific videos. However, we hope to produce video tutorials on some features which are included in the X-E3.
good day, i have a question about video recording on fuji xt20.. when i was taking video there’s a yellow icon pop up on the screen if i shoot more than 10mins.. is it ok to continue shooting or it will destroy the mechanism of my camera.. thank you hoping your i can get a good answer..
The X-T20 is designed to record up to approximately 10 minutes in 4K (up to 15 minutes in Full-HD). The icon is to advise you that you are about to reach the end of the clip. The camera will shut down as a safety process, to avoid any damage to the camera.
Thank you. For some reason I can not see the scene on the screen with the luminance changes produced by the variations of aperture or speed or ISO. The brightness of the screen always remains the same. I have not been able to solve it. Thank you
If you have any of the three parameters (Aperture, Shutter Speed or ISO) set to "Auto", the camera will adjust that parameter to ensure correct exposure. However, if you have all three set to a manual setting, and you don't see any changes, there is a chance you have the screen setting set. Go to "Settings" > "Screen Settings" > "Preview EXP/WB is Manual Mode" and turn that on. You should then see a preview of the resulting exposure.
Will the camera re quire focus on its own while using the intervalometer function? Like I want that to shoot self portraits but I can't seem to find if that's a feature or not... kind of a big deal for me
Thanks for this video! I am still trying to figure it all out but wondering if you can help me with a few things? 1. When I switch to video mode, a lot of the settings go away, it seems (like autofocusing choices, aperture, etc) - I presume this is by design and I'm not doing it wrong? 2. When I am in video mode, just trying to shoot a video for you tube (me, in a chair, camera on a tripod) and my camera is ALWAYS autofocusing, even when I'm not moving! How do I stop that? 3. I had to buy an HDMI to USB video capture card and it seems to bring in the video in good quality, but there is a lag and so my audio is out of sync. I know the XT20 doesn't have the USB tethering built in, so I guess I'm stuck with this lag, unless you have some suggestions? (As an aside, is this lag also present in the Fuji cameras WITH USB tethering?) Thanks so much! Chris
Brilliant video, thank you. I have a question. When using an uncoupled lens (manual focus)- I set the focus to "M" on the camera. I like to use Focus Peak Assist, but I cannot get it to stay as the default assist. Every time, I have to cycle through standard, split screen, to get to Focus Peak - Ugh. Is there a way to set this as default.. Many many thanks.
When you change the focus assist to a particular option, it normally stays in that selection, until you choose a different option. Please ensure you have the latest firmware (V2.01) installed. Another option is to try a camera reset, but back up any custom settings to your computer first, using Fujifilm X-Acquire. Otherwise, please contact the customer support group of the Fujifilm office in your country, as they are better suited to assist you. In Canada, call: 1.800.461.0416.

How come you doesn't have owners manual that instructed using the 16 - 50 mm kit lens? Because most of the set up is, you have to put to "A" on aperture switch which only the 18- 55 kit lens have. For a beginner like me it's confusing and frustrating. Thank you
Sorry for the confusion. If you would like to download the owner's manual for the XC16-50 lens, you can find it here... www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_cameras/manuals/lens/#zoom_lens
For event photography, that would depend on what you like to see. You may want to have the focus set to single focus and use the touch screen to control your focus. As for colour settings and quality, that will depend more on what you like! Try some different film simulations and see which one you like the most.
In my XT20 the front wheel only works in auto mode if if turn to other mode it doesn't do anything. I have reset the camera to the factory defaults but it is still the same. What I am doing wrong?
Hi Eduardo, If you are using the XF18-55 F2.8-4, there is an aperture ring. For lenses that do not have an aperture ring, the front dial is used to adjust the aperture. Otherwise it is not active.
If you put the light compisation button on C the weel will that controle ! Very handy ! On auto you can use it for the different scene's just press the button one time and you can change the settings . In normale mode then press it again one time and you can change the light setting again !
Yes, you simply place the sutter speed dial to the T mode, (Timed expsosure) This gives you the full range of shutter speed using the front command dial by default but can also assign it to the rear command dial depending on your preference.
Hi Kelsey, Best to use the RR-90 remote. It will allow you to easily hold the shutter release and even lock it should you want to expose for a longer period of time. The X-T20 also has a classic remote cable built into the shutter.
Thanks. It really depends on the country you are located in. Some Fujifilm subsidiaries (like us in Canada) do not sell direct on our website. For other countries, please visit our main website, and choose your country from the drop-down list in the upper right portion of the page. www.fujifilm.com/
Menu - Set up - Screen Setup - Display Custom Settings. There you will see a list of items you can display. You can customize the LCD and the EVF. Using the Disp/Back button, it will toggle through the different view options as well.
Yes. This camera has internal stereo microphones, and does record audio. There is a 2.5mm combination input port that can be configured to accept audio input.
How do i use the touchscreen to focus? When i set it to "af" on the screen and then tough t the screen, it shows "af off" Shouldn't it show me a square where it is focusing? Thanks, in advance, for your help!
Hi Christopher. Double-check that you have the touchscreen turned on. Go to Settings > Button/Dial Setting. On the third screen, choose Touch Screen Setting > Touch Screen Setting > "ON". Then, when in taking mode, tap the top right of the screen until you see "Shot" or "AF". If you have those setting, and are still not able to active the AF, please contact the customer support group of the Fujifilm office in your country, as they are better suited to assist you in real time.

When you have the camera in "Auto-SR" mode, it will not record a RAW image. To enable RAW you can turn the command dial and aperture ring to "A" for Program exposure, and you can record RAW images that way.
Hi friends, I need to ask you a question, I have an HS50 EXR, it really is my favorite camera but it is three years old and I want to know if Fuji is going to update it or if there are any better or same that I recommend, thank you.
Does this camera screen flip to face the person you are shooting? say if you are shooting a self youtube video would you be able to see yourself on the screen while you record?
hi guys, thank you for al the videos that you're doing, these helps us a lot. i just purchased a fuji xt20, but i do have one concern, my camera won't switch to manual focusing, even if i turn the selector on S, C, or M, it does nothing, even "MF" doesn't appear on the screen. i dont understand what's wrong ... what should i do ? thank you a lot for your help
If you have the command switch on the top of the camera set to "Auto", that makes the camera completely automatic SR+. Flip that lever away from "Auto" and you should be able to have manual focus.
Hi. "S" stands for "Single AF", meaning you half-press the shutter and it locks focus, then stays at that focus until you fully press the shutter, or release it and start again. "C" is "Continuous AF", meaning that when you half-press the shutter it will focus and then adjust the focus if the subject moves. "M" is "Manual Focus", meaning that you manually turn the focus ring on the lens.
When using the X-T20 with lenses that do not have an aperture ring you use the front control dial of the camera to control the aperture of the lens. Look on the display screen; if the F number is coloured blue, the lens is in manual aperture mode. Rotate the front command dial to the smaller apertures (bigger numbers). Once you reach the smallest aperture (F16 or F22; depending on the lens), the next click turns the aperture number white and this puts the lens into "A" mode. If the shutter speed dial is on "A" then you are now in "Program". Turn the shutter speed dial off of "A" and you are in Shutter Priority.
Hi Fuji guys! I am a newbie and I got my x-t20 with the 16-50 mm kit lens barely a month ago. Just a quick question, when i set the lens to 35mm, i cannot set it to f3.5 or f4. Is it really normal? Thanks for the help!!
Hi Pat, the experience you have for setting the aperture will depend on the lens. In your case, the kit lens has a maximum aperture range of f3.5-5.6. What that means is that at 16mm (zoomed out all the way) you can set a maximum aperture of f3.5 (the smaller the number the larger the aperture) and at 50mm (zoomed in all the way) you can set a maximum aperture of f5.6. In between the two ranges the maximum aperture changes fairly linearly between the two values, i.e. 35mm is roughly centered between 16 and 50mm just as f4 is roughly centered between f3.5 and f5.6. The reason I said it depends on the lens is because some zoom lenses like Fuji's 16-55 f2.8 have the ability to maintain the same wide aperture throughout all focal lengths. There is certainly a premium both in cost and weight for these lenses though. Hope that helps!
Michael Zimmermann thank you for explaining it thoroughly! Now i understand why i can't set the lowest aperture on the kit lens. What lens can you suggest for a newbie like me? I would like to photograph portraits and street sceneries 😊😊 is the new 35mm ok for that? 😊
Hi Pat - I think you made the right decision starting off with the 18-55mm lens. I recommend spending some time with this lens and figure out which focal length you like and use the most. Then go for that prime lens. Some people say 35mm (which is 50mm equivalent in full frame) is too long meaning too zoomed in for street scenes but then not long enough for a good portrait lens. I tend to think that if you want a lens that is good for both, it is a really good focal length. I think you should also consider the 23mm focal length (35mm equivalent) which is obviously popular because Fuji has the X100 line only with the 23mm length for a reason. If you don't know what I mean by "50mm equivalent" let me know and I can explain more.
There is no option to be able to assign a continuous AF (C-AF) custom setting to the C1 in the Q-menu. One option would be to assign AF-C Custom Settings to a Fn button. Then you could press that Fn button, which takes you directly to the AF-C custom settings, and make your changes in fewer button presses.
Hey Jaydev. On the X-T20 you can change the ISO by pressing the "Q" button and selecting the ISO, then rotating the command dial to select the ISO. If you have the "Auto-SR" mode enables, the ISO is set automatically.
Yes! You can customize the rear command dial so that when you press it in, and rotate, it will change the ISO. Press and hold the "DISP/BACK" button for a few seconds until the schematic of the camera comes up. Scroll to "R-DIAL", toggle to the right. Select "ISO". Now, when you press in the rear command dial you will be able to adjust the ISO, then press the command dial in again to confirm.
great little camera. but fuji keeps falling short of having a great camera. (everyone) want fully articulating screens. and fully funtional touch screens. and IBIS. hopefully the next XT3 will have it. i love the size and weight of the XT20. and touch screen. but wish it had everything the xt2 offers. weather sealed 2sd cards. a screen that adjusts for portraits. and a headphone jack on the camera. fuji really need to enter the world of IBIS. and they need to improve there eye focusing. they have all the great small primes that could be stablized with ibis. fuji has some really good cameras. and is so close to having some amazing cameras. please fuji dont hold back
Appreciate the review but the delivery was so slow-paced I drifted off several times and couldn't put up with it for the whole 18min review. Check your audience retention and you'll see what I mean...
Hey... people do like the detailed reviews. Please don't dumb down for audience retention statistics, if you have good content people will skip to the part that pertains to them, especially if you offer a TOC in the info section for what the subject matter is at the corresponding time. If people can't be bothered to skip or wait for an decent explanation, they have a patience issue!!!! No offence Chris T ;-)
No offense taken 123brummer. My issue was more with the delivery than the content. I agree that a TOC in the description would always be a nice thing. Audience retention is quite helpful to content creators to see what works and what doesn't.
Fair enough. My fear is that we live in a world of 5 minute information bites, and viewer retention will suffer because people gradually lose their attention span because they just want the "best bits" and instant gratification. I do have another channel we're I post regular videos, so I do understand how to read analytics. They are fascinating and sometimes arbitrary at the same time. Sometimes the goal is to hold the viewers attention for the whole clip, other time (like in this case) you may just come here to find the answer to one question and tune out again. .
Our plan is to improve the experience on this channel. We appreciate all this feedback. Makes us better. Thank you folks! We do want to implement a TOC. Thank you for watching!
I just got XT-20 with 18-55 kit lens. This is my first real camera and there is quite a lot to learn. So this video really helps me alot.

I just purchased the X-T20 yesterday. I love the Fuji gear and the control system, but a word of advice: The only downside to Fuji is their lens caps, they suck. Probably the loosest of any manufacturer. So I purchased Sensei metal screw on lens caps for my lenses. Very secure and keeps out dust.
Hello! I have a question, how fast does the XT20 take single photos without and with the flash? (not in the burst mode). How long do you have wait after taking a photo to be able to take another one in both cases? (without and with lamp)
Great video.
Thanks for this tutorial
Thank you for watching!
excellent tutorial --- I have ordered an xe3 so this will help a lot

This is a great camera for landscape.

Plz let me know
Does xt-20 can be shoot in RAW ? in Austo mode ?
Why I can not set RAW in auto mode ? Any help ?
When you have the camera in "Auto-SR" mode, it will not record a RAW image. To enable RAW you can turn the command dial and aperture ring to "A" for Program exposure, and you can record RAW images that way.
Is 1080p recording also limited to 10min like 4K or the usual 30min? Thanks for the vid!
1080p is as per usual 29.97 min.
Thank you !
Thanks Gary. We appreciate your support.
Hi friends, I need to ask you a question, I have an HS50 EXR, it really is my favorite camera but it is three years old and I want to know if Fuji is going to update it or if there are any better or same that I recommend, thank you.
HS50 is a great camera! However at this time there is no plan for a bridge style point and shoot camera like the HS50.
Does this camera screen flip to face the person you are shooting? say if you are shooting a self youtube video would you be able to see yourself on the screen while you record?
The X-T20 does not have the ability to tilt the screen all the way around...only the X-A3 has that feature.
hi guys, thank you for al the videos that you're doing, these helps us a lot.
i just purchased a fuji xt20, but i do have one concern, my camera won't switch to manual focusing, even if i turn the selector on S, C, or M, it does nothing, even "MF" doesn't appear on the screen.

thank you a lot for your help
If you have the command switch on the top of the camera set to "Auto", that makes the camera completely automatic SR+. Flip that lever away from "Auto" and you should be able to have manual focus.
@@fujiguys what does the C,M,S toggle do? You only mention C being continuous auto focus.
Hi. "S" stands for "Single AF", meaning you half-press the shutter and it locks focus, then stays at that focus until you fully press the shutter, or release it and start again.
"C" is "Continuous AF", meaning that when you half-press the shutter it will focus and then adjust the focus if the subject moves.
"M" is "Manual Focus", meaning that you manually turn the focus ring on the lens.
hello,
I have 2 lenses without aperture ring. How do I get P and S mode?
When using the X-T20 with lenses that do not have an aperture ring you use the front control dial of the camera to control the aperture of the lens. Look on the display screen; if the F number is coloured blue, the lens is in manual aperture mode. Rotate the front command dial to the smaller apertures (bigger numbers). Once you reach the smallest aperture (F16 or F22; depending on the lens), the next click turns the aperture number white and this puts the lens into "A" mode. If the shutter speed dial is on "A" then you are now in "Program". Turn the shutter speed dial off of "A" and you are in Shutter Priority.
Does this have a BULB mode or long-exposure setting?
Hi Patrick. YES! The X-T20 has a 'Bulb' mode that allows for exposures up to 60 minutes.
Yes, both bulb and T (time) settings.
Thanks!

In between the two ranges the maximum aperture changes fairly linearly between the two values, i.e. 35mm is roughly centered between 16 and 50mm just as f4 is roughly centered between f3.5 and f5.6.
The reason I said it depends on the lens is because some zoom lenses like Fuji's 16-55 f2.8 have the ability to maintain the same wide aperture throughout all focal lengths. There is certainly a premium both in cost and weight for these lenses though. Hope that helps!
Michael Zimmermann thank you for explaining it thoroughly! Now i understand why i can't set the lowest aperture on the kit lens. What lens can you suggest for a newbie like me? I would like to photograph portraits and street sceneries 😊😊 is the new 35mm ok for that? 😊
well said.
Hi Pat - I think you made the right decision starting off with the 18-55mm lens. I recommend spending some time with this lens and figure out which focal length you like and use the most. Then go for that prime lens. Some people say 35mm (which is 50mm equivalent in full frame) is too long meaning too zoomed in for street scenes but then not long enough for a good portrait lens. I tend to think that if you want a lens that is good for both, it is a really good focal length. I think you should also consider the 23mm focal length (35mm equivalent) which is obviously popular because Fuji has the X100 line only with the 23mm length for a reason.
If you don't know what I mean by "50mm equivalent" let me know and I can explain more.
Michael Zimmermann hi Michael thanks for all the explanation!! I am not familiar with the 50mm equivalent and 35mm equivalent at all!
Can I connect it to my computer with a usb cable?
For downloading pictures and for charging the battery.
can you transfer videos from your camera to your Android phone
Yes. The X-T20, along with the latest version of the app will transfer video files to an Android phone.
How can I set AF-C SET2 on my preset C1?
There is no option to be able to assign a continuous AF (C-AF) custom setting to the C1 in the Q-menu.
One option would be to assign AF-C Custom Settings to a Fn button. Then you could press that Fn button, which takes you directly to the AF-C custom settings, and make your changes in fewer button presses.
thank you
How do you change the iso
Hey Jaydev. On the X-T20 you can change the ISO by pressing the "Q" button and selecting the ISO, then rotating the command dial to select the ISO. If you have the "Auto-SR" mode enables, the ISO is set automatically.
@@fujiguys thank you sir. Can i customize the settings so that i can change iso by any of its dial for faster operation
Yes! You can customize the rear command dial so that when you press it in, and rotate, it will change the ISO.
Press and hold the "DISP/BACK" button for a few seconds until the schematic of the camera comes up. Scroll to "R-DIAL", toggle to the right. Select "ISO". Now, when you press in the rear command dial you will be able to adjust the ISO, then press the command dial in again to confirm.
@@fujiguys thanks a lot Sir. It really helped me
Glad to be able to assist Jaydev.
Can anyone tell me if xt20 has multiple exposure option?
Thanks for asking. Yes; the X-T20 allows for double exposure images.
@@fujiguys Thank you !
pas mal merci pour les sous-titres….
Ça nous fait plésir!
great little camera. but fuji keeps falling short of having a great camera. (everyone) want fully articulating screens. and fully funtional touch screens. and IBIS. hopefully the next XT3 will have it. i love the size and weight of the XT20. and touch screen. but wish it had everything the xt2 offers. weather sealed 2sd cards. a screen that adjusts for portraits. and a headphone jack on the camera. fuji really need to enter the world of IBIS. and they need to improve there eye focusing. they have all the great small primes that could be stablized with ibis. fuji has some really good cameras. and is so close to having some amazing cameras. please fuji dont hold back
Everyone? I couldn't care less about a fully articulating screen or IBIS, or weather sealing. Fully functioning touch screen would be nice.
We are not holding back....we need to balance as much as we can. We are listening to the community so keep up the feedback! We love it!
I don't want a fully articulating screen
Appreciate the review but the delivery was so slow-paced I drifted off several times and couldn't put up with it for the whole 18min review. Check your audience retention and you'll see what I mean...
Thanks for the feedback. We are always trying to get better.
Hey... people do like the detailed reviews. Please don't dumb down for audience retention statistics, if you have good content people will skip to the part that pertains to them, especially if you offer a TOC in the info section for what the subject matter is at the corresponding time.
If people can't be bothered to skip or wait for an decent explanation, they have a patience issue!!!! No offence Chris T ;-)
No offense taken 123brummer. My issue was more with the delivery than the content. I agree that a TOC in the description would always be a nice thing. Audience retention is quite helpful to content creators to see what works and what doesn't.
Fair enough. My fear is that we live in a world of 5 minute information bites, and viewer retention will suffer because people gradually lose their attention span because they just want the "best bits" and instant gratification.
I do have another channel we're I post regular videos, so I do understand how to read analytics. They are fascinating and sometimes arbitrary at the same time. Sometimes the goal is to hold the viewers attention for the whole clip, other time (like in this case) you may just come here to find the answer to one question and tune out again.
.
Our plan is to improve the experience on this channel. We appreciate all this feedback. Makes us better. Thank you folks! We do want to implement a TOC. Thank you for watching!
no hay nadie que esplique en español la xt20

In order to understand anything of this, you already have to be semi-pro.
Kind of boring
Matthew Mates yeah, I fell asleep
