- Want to know the best settings for the Fujifilm X-T3 or Fujifilm X-T4? In this video, I’m going to go over how I’ve personally set up my Fujifilm X-T3 for professional wedding and portrait photography, travel photography, family documentation, and filming TH-cam videos. And since the controls on the X-T4 are virtually the same, these settings are also applicable to the Fujifilm X-T4! Use these settings as a starting point, and tailor them to what's best for you and your photography/shooting style.

Dear, Today i was purchased my new Fujifilm XT-3 from Amazons. and now i search the beginer guide for my camera then unfortunately i saw your video on top of the search list. you don't believe how much is helpful to me as i am using first time any fuji product in my life. your video is really helpful tome. Wallah you help me a lot. Thnaks for uploading this beautiful video. May God bless you always ..Amen
Awesome!
First ten minutes of the video already cleared up a few issues-thanks.
Joseph Schutz nice! What were the issues?
Dude! Why thumbs down? If you don’t like his content, move along.
Ryan Macalandag haha all good dude. It happens
Brilliant! I use this video every time my camera goes off.
Did thank you! I just updated firmware and it reset everything. Had to watch this all over again.
My X-T3 arrives tomorrow. I'll be going back through this video again once it's here. Even if I don't set my settings the same way this is still a fantastic walkthrough of setting up the camera. I've moving up from the X-T1 so there's a lot more camera for me to learn with the X-T3. Thanks!
Awesome!
My one arrived 3 days ago. An amazing camera for photos and videos.
Thank you! I am setting up my new X-T3 today. This was so helpful!
Chef Chelsea Jordan yes!!
Thanks mate for that first contact. I just had the XT3 today and your video help me a lot !
Awesome!
Just bought an X-T30 (moving from an X-T2) and was having issues with some of the menu items. This helped with pretty much everything. Thanks a ton!
Taylor Davis awesome! Definitely planning to do an xt30 video as soon as my local rental shop starts stocking them .
Thanks Reggie ! I just bought one and your video is just the thing ! Great editing , content and brilliant video in all !
Gireesh Bala much appreciated. Glad that the video was helpful!
Thanks for sharing this seriously! Have been using this for our churches social media for the past few months - KILLER CAMERA!!
Nice!
@@Reggiebphoto Yes, thank YOU!
Thank you. Just got the x-t3 and this helped a lot
vintagehunter awesome glad to help!
28:20 Gosh, finally someone mentioned the crop when you do photos. I didn't know that tip, and I was shooting 1.25 crop. Thanks.
Thanks for the help man
That’s is amazing teaching, thanks for sharing
Thanks so much brother. Just got my x-t3 and I’m so lost lol. Coming from a canon 80d. Well done video.
Glad to have helped out! I’ve been using fuji for 5 years now so a lot is second nature to me, but realized it’s not so obvious to others. Felt like I should share my knowledge! Let me know if you have any settings or problems areas that you’d like a more detailed video on.
I'm going through the same misery now coming from canon
From a dad to another dad, please keep volume consistent between your recording and transitions. I'm waking the whole house when I watch your videos :P It is also regarded professional to keep volume consistent in clips. I hate that youtube also do this with their ADs. Nice video, thanks.
I try my best. But as a dad, I can only do the best I can eith the time I have. I aim to have all my volumes peak at the same level. As far as what TH-cam does with their ad j don’t have visibility on what volume level they present the ads in.
@@Reggiebphoto Just friendly feedback :) Quite big difference on intro :P Thanks
Aleksander T. E. I know and this video is one of my older ones. I filmed the menu portion with a sleeping baby strapped to me and a sleeping kid in another room. I appreciate the feedback but I have to stick with my limitations as I’m not a pro video maker haha
This was very interesting and extremely useful. Thanks. And I subscribed immediately.
aweseome i'm glad to hear!
Thanks for the very detailed and useful explanation of all the settings 👍
Gary Wedley has you’re welcome!
Thank you! This was so helpful and easy to follow. Your work is beautiful as well!
Thanks so much! Glad to help :)
Thanks for this boss! I've only just started getting into my XT-3 and beginning to unlock the video capabilities. Really stoked I got it for a bargain on e-Bay. Keep these tutorials coming bro!
Jonathan Brady you’re very welcome. If you have any specific topics you want covered or specifical video requests, just let me know!
@@Reggiebphoto indeed I do....I'm wanna see what the best video settings are. I'm more of a video than a stills guy
@@JonathanBradysouth-africa ah gotcha. I have my own go to settings, but I doubt they're the "best". As I'm a photogapher first and learned video through my TH-cam journey. I try to leave the video topics up to the experts haha. What type of videography do you do?
Thank you so much, Just perfect.
Awesome
Thank you so much for this!!
hosanna termaat youre welcome!
Great video/kind of tutorial dude! Thank you.
You’re welcome!
Thanks for all the information and sick B roll!
Seha Sok you’re welcome buddy! Glad it was helpful. Let me know if you want me to do a deeper dive video on any of the settings.
Thank you so much, this information was spot on.
Awesome! I’m glad it helped!
14:29 shutter should be electronic front + mechanical to prevent shutter shock without motion artifacts like electronic shutter can have.
Ryan Hitchman i Shoot with flash, so mechanical shutter for me
Hello, I recently purchased the XT3 and I've been wanting to shoot in Slow Motion; however, on the menu the "FULL HD HIGH SPEED REC" is not highlighted and I am unable to click on it. I just updated the firmware to the latest. Is there a way for me to select that button?
Thanks
Irwin Rojas there’s a probsbly a setting enabled that you have on that’s preventing. What is the current resolution, bit rate, codec, and color settings you have set for filming ?
Thank you for such a guide
zubair alzubair you’re welcome
Good job dude and loved the broll sequence you getting a lot better
Thanks Haris!
Thank you sir 👍 great
Why mine, lens modulation optimizer off, I can’t change it, what should I do?
Reggie, your videos are awesome. I am researching which Fuji camera to buy and your channel has been a big help. Thanks a lot for posting the videos. How do you find the eye focus on the new XT5? That is the only issue that is holding me back from ordering one
Hi Mr. Reggie your channel is a source of my inspiration to the skills which I'm developing. In a couple of months I'll be having my XT4. Would you mine to share your experience to fujifilm video autofocus since most of fujinon using focus by wire. Thank you for your time. God bless!
Albert for serious video work I actually use manual focus. The use face/eye detection for TH-cam, it’s not perfect but it’s good enough for my content
really helpful thanks bro, i am a new entrant so i guess will watch it a few times lol...
Padam Kumar you’re welcome! I’m actually going to make a beginners quick start guide for the xt3 so sub and stay tuned
@@Reggiebphoto looking forward
Thanks for a really good video of all the settings
Diane Fifield you’re welcome!
Thanks for the video! Just getting my X-T3 (yes i know I'm a bit late it's 2021 already) tomorrow. I am currently using X-T20. Has anyone mentioned you looked like a Filipino Artist/singer. Ogie Alcasid. :)
🙌🏽
XT3 is a beast
Yup!
Hey Reggie! Would any of your basic settings change if you were setting up an X-T5?
I’m planning on making an xt5 setup but didn’t know if people wanted to see that
Thanks for the overview!
you're welcome!
Hi Reggie, thank you for all the tips! I watched it a few years ago and again today! Its really helped me coppying how you have set up your camera! There is one problem I have had with these settings. If I want to shoot in auto mode or apperture priority mode it seems that I need to go into deep menue settings because if I move the T back to A - the ISO still stays connected to the front dial and does not go back into auto - is there a quick way to return the camera to auto mode from here? Please assist :)
I no longer have an xt3 anymore so I’m not sure
Also great guide!
Thanks! Hope it helped a bit
Perfect video! Thanks a lot man!
Your very welcome!
i want to make a VIDEO time lapse of the sunset with my XT-3. i want to shoot 4k 10 bit video in aperture priority like i can do with my Sony a7r2. then im going to speed up the video to get the smoothest movement. my question is, what settings to i have to enable/disable in order to have aperture priority in video so that as the light gets dimmer the shutter speed is automatically slowed so that i get a even flow of light over time?
Dynamic Range settings also applies to RAW files!!
They don’t, they get embedded as metadata instructions to adjust the tone curve for certain raw processors to apply an adjustment. It does not actually affect the raw file
Hi and Thanks for the video ! Why does my xt3 don't allow me to choose my Mbps on vidéo mode ? I only have one choice (which is not really à choice.) for exemple, if i choose 4k 16:9 at 23.98, there is juste 400mbps available! How can i fix that ?
Great video! You talked about a video about the movie silent control settings for hybrid shootig on a wedding. Where can I find it?
Geraldine Wegner haven’t gotten around to making it yet :P
@@Reggiebphoto Oh too bad! You should make it soon. It will be a huge hit! There is no other video about the topic on TH-cam so far (did an in depth search ;))
Geraldine Wegner haha I’m aware. Just waiting to get some free time
Have you experienced an unresponsive or better stated LOCKED ISO setting with your Xt2 or Xt3? When all exposure settings are on AUTO and you move from one set of lightings conditions to another - i find that the ISO remains locked at the MAX of your Pre-set ISO 1, ISO 2 or ISO 3 and not measuring the light and selecting the best ISO setting as i expect. Any info on this you can provide would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
I have not experienced that. I shoot in manual exposure.
I had a difficulty in the my menu settings under user setting.
I was not able to edit the custom settings...it would keep going back to default...but everything else was just fine...
Thanks again Reggie
interesting. do you have a time stamp of where i made those changes?
You probably figured it out by now but when you edit your custom settings make sure you hit the left button on D pad to exit and the camera will ask if you’d like to save changes made.
Why do my settings reset everytime I turn my camera off? How do I make my settings stay the way I set them up?
the internal battery/capacitor has been depleted. if you've stored your camera without the battery inside for an extended period of time, then the capacitor will die out. the capacitor is responsible for retaining the settings when you have to pop out a battery and pop a new one back in
Hi! Can this applied to the xs20 too?
i just ask this guy at work =DDD ! another great video Reggie!
1:42 - 1:50 was dope, especially the Fstop dial
Haha thanks man!
when you shot the bracket mode, the 7 shots were taken so fast but it was really slow on mine. almost 4-5sec each shots even though I have followed all your settings. I wonder if my unit is defective?
Daniel Lim I would double check the drive mode and thenshutter speed as well. The darker the lighting you take the burst, the slower the shutter speeds will be.
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
Hi did you experience when you shoot event and the xt3 feel like heat under the camera. Because my xt3 heat like that when i shoot event. It’s normal?
It’s not impossible, butI’ve never really noticed as I’m usually too focused on shooting. Are you shooting stills or video? I know there can be a potential for cameras to get hot during video shoots.
I shoot only pictures sir but later it’s getting warm I don’t know what’s the problem
Do you turn the camera off when you’re not using it? (During the shoot)
Sometimes sir. Do you recommend bring my xt3 to service center? When you set up your xt3 on this video did you feel warm sir or no warming happen to your xt3 body. I wish i can fix this becauae i love xt3 so much
I’m not really sure as I don’t have experience or expertise on this :(
Which lens were you using in this video? sigma 18-55?
TimeSpace 16mm 1.4 and the 35 f2 + 16mm extension tube
so i got a problem, i can't shoot raw with my XT3 and i've looked all over the place to try and find how to change that. do you by any chance know why ?
Indiana Solo you problably nudged the mode dial on the left to one of the effect modes. The effect modes don’t allow shooting of raw
Reggie Ballesteros lmao after writing the comment i actually found out, but thanks anyways ;)
was that the issue?
@@Reggiebphoto yes it was :)
I am still confused in should i buy xt3 or xh1. l want to use it for my travel shoots aswell sa for my daily use pleas suggest some thing
Rohit Trinagariwar got the video for you right here th-cam.com/video/KBJ6hcU0enc/w-d-xo.html
I found an issue. I cannot activate focus speed when set to a custom function button while shooting SloMo and I have to menu dive to adjust the focusing speed. I like a smooth focus pull while shooting in 24 or 60 but that smooth pull becomes 10 seconds of OOF footage in SloMo 5X . does this happen to you?
Hmm, I haven’t tried it myself because I don’t set focus speed to a fn button. Seems like you can work around it tho by changing your focus speed prior to engaging slomo (?)
@@Reggiebphoto Yeah I was just wondering if you had a work around instead of menu diving since I saw the video you shot when your baby was born. Congratulations by the way!
DeMasi Studios i have the movie mode af custom settings in “my menu”. Once you have my menu set up, pressing ok/menu opens the my menu by default
@@ReggiebphotoThanks I'll give that a shot.
Is there a way to take photos and videos on the same mode? Asking because I’m coming from that familiar feeling from my Sony a6500
I don’t think any dslr or mirrorless camera has that capability. The best option you have is to shoot 4K and then pull still frames from the video footage in your editing software
Hahaha no bro I mean like the a6500 you could take a video and or take a photo on manual mode because there was a separate record button for that and the shutter button takes the stills is what I mean! Because I can’t seem to figure out if that exists on the Fuji
Oh that doesn’t exist on Fuji unfortunately. There’s a lot of menu functionality that doesn’t exist on Fuji
Reggie Ballesteros I only asked because my parents have to film my grad with it 😂 shits going to confuse them lmao. Thanks bro!
Reggie Ballesteros is there a way to set a maximum iso for when you run auto iso it doesn’t go past 3200 ?
Set up for fujifilm xtr4
What about it?
BEST SETTINGS for the Fujifilm X-S10,you never explain for this one camera and why?Please give me a explain...
I haven’t had time to make the video yet. Sorry my friend
mate can you make video about how to separate still and video settings. idk how to do it like sony because sony has dedicated 2 custom buttons. I can just swap from Manual (still) to custom dial 1 (4k 24p) and custom dial 2 (1080 120p) so fast. unlike with fuji. i need to adjust the SS ISO etc. i did use movie silent mode, it separated video and still settings, but it forces you to change the settings using touch screen. do you have any suggestion?
Kelvin ZLN movie silent control mode is the only workaround at the moment. It sucks and it’s my biggest criticism about fuji firmware :(
hydrate, dude!! ;-)
I've been dealing with chronic eczema for 25 years. Thanks for the obvious tip.
@@Reggiebphoto good luck! Good settings... thanks!
does in fact using not 425 autofocus points settings reduce autofocus density qnd performance?? 🤔 is not simply a display of autofocus poitns?
nerd Mike it doesn’t reduce performance. It just quickens the time it takes to manually select a point when using the joystick. When you change to any auto tracking modes it reverts back to using all 425 points. It’s a preference working style thing, I didn’t make the choice based on impact to performance or af soeed
Try it for yourself, reduce the points and use af-s single. It’s quicker to move around. Then change to af-s auto. It takes advantage of all 425 points again despite the setting change.
@@Reggiebphoto oh good! In the video I thought to have heard you change performance by using all 425 points. My bad. I sold my D610 still looking at xh1 or xt3, I prefer the xh1 but with af from T3.. On T3 only the af is the main point, nothing else to me.. 🤔😞
nerd Mike actually i checked it again and it does seem to use
Less points when using the 117. BUT it’s still sensor wide. So I haven’t done formal tests to see if one works better for the other. I just personally manually select my points and scrolling across for 425 points takes way longer than 117 points. If that makes sense
Sorry last reply. So when using af-c single or af-s single it reduces the points you can select. When you use group or wide tracking mode it uses all the points even if you select the 117 option it’s grayed out which to me indicates it’s using everything available.sorru for the confusion
Do you know if there's "zebras" in photo mode ? I'm searching this for daaayys....
DLN Agency only blinking highlight warning. Zebras only for video
@@Reggiebphoto Ok thank you !
Dynamic range does apply on RAW images, watch this video
th-cam.com/video/EB5-3xC51l4/w-d-xo.html
interesting. thanks for the comment.
And for jpeg shooters what settings is best?
There are no best settings for JPEGs. Pick the film simulation you like best and go from there
Is this also applicable to X T4? And one last question, Are you Filipino? Salamat
Most the settings are applicable. Many people have been using it to setup their xt4
Why is 'My' not highlighted on my XT3 ? I cant use ?
Tom Skiff sorry can you clarify what you’re referring to? Timestamp maybe?
@@Reggiebphoto 1:54
Tom Skiff you have to set it up for my menu.
What metering mode do you usually use? Thanks
I shoot in preview exposure and full manual, so the metering mode doesn’t actually make a difference
Reggie Ballesteros same here but I always have mine in spot so just wasn’t sure if it really mattered. I know with spot you can turn on interlock spot metering in the menu which is what I have set.
Kristie Jochim metering only does something if you use any of the auto modes.
Reggie Ballesteros thank you so much for your replies! Still learning the Fuji system. May I ask how you go about correct exposure? Do you keep your eye on the exposure compensation or histogram? Or both? I’m trying to figure out the best way to keep my exposure correct but keep a fast pace with my clients which are usually families with kids running around. Thanks
I use a combination of histogram and the highlight warning. I look at the histogram for shadow clipping and the highlight warning prevents any clipped highlights. I shoot in raw and try to keep ISO’s as low as possible. That’s about it
Hey man, I'm using xt4and trying to follow your settings on your xt-3.
How did it work out?
@@Reggiebphoto I had to watch like 3 times to follow you because at first it was like why the heck he is jumping lol bec in XT-4 there is separate settings for video. I haven't gone out shooting but it seems very useful man. Keep up the good work.
Hey man so I follow all your settings my for my xt4 and my concern is how do you change metering, it seems changing itself and in auto
Turn on preview exposure on
what are your settings for low light video and settings for low light images?
I use these settings for everything. As far as exposure goes I shoot in manual and the exposure settings always depend on the scene. Can you clarify your question a bit more?
@@Reggiebphoto I need to shoot some video night scenes and I get really bad tests - either too dark or too grainy with flicker (especially in slow motion). obviously if I have good lighting its less of a problem. but I want to understand what is the best setting without bringing artificial lighting
Ohad Marbach for that situation it’s more about how you choose the lighting (subject positioning background etc) as opposed to settings. I made
A video on how to shoot in low light.
28:29 Sport mode is not bad, you can shoot 30 FPS on CH setting. Good video :)
Aleksander T. E. I didn’t say it was bad, but lots of people accidentally swipe it with their nose and crop on accident
It looks as though you can name the different Q settings. How do you do that?
Are you referring to the q menu or the custom film simulation settings (c1 c2 etc)
I want to name each of the custom settings: C1, C2, and so on. I think I found a way to rename, but it is not clear and don't find much in various manuals and videos. By the way, your video is in general very good. We have a large photo club here and about 8 out of our 80 members are now Fuji users. Have passed the video on to them. @@Reggiebphoto
The way you rename is by going to the menu > image quality settings > edit/save custom setting > selecting the c number setting you want to rename > scroll to the buttom and select "edit custom name". There you can rename it whatever you'd like.
And that's awesome to hear. I like to make fuji specific content, and also just beginner/intermediate photography and photo editing tutorials in general. If you'd like please come up with a poll and/or survey for your club on what tutorial/topic they'd like more info on, and I'd be happy to help out. I'm always down for creating targetted content for what my viewers actually want/need. Feel free to dm at @reggiebphoto on instagram to coordinate and send me the survey/poll results :)
👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
LivNG with the NGs 🤘
Xs10 or xt3?
I think there’s a case for either. Depends on what you want to do as their both the same price
Hopefully, a very lengthy instruction manual is included with this camera.
Love the sarcasm lol. I actually LOVE the digital manual online, reads pretty smooth.
there is one. i just download the pdf to my phone just for quick referencing. if you have any questions or want an indetph explanation video of specific settings just let me know!
So, under my image quality, I only have Fine and Normal...
Tyler Miltimore what drive mode are you in?
@@Reggiebphoto drive mode? I'm sorry, I'm very new to fuji
Coming from Olympus sure regret buying the x-t3
Watched the reviews and all the hype and got caught up and bought the x-t3
xt2 would have been better for me
Or maybe the x-h1
Olympus has poor auto focus but the x-t3 misses focus too you have to have everything set just right.
I was going for a lighter system x-t3 and 18-55mm 55-200mm.
Less than 50 oz.
I have xl hands my finger goes an inch past the shutter button.
I'm 6'5" the camera is for someone 5'1" or less
Gary Brown agree about the hype. I made a review compared to full frame and some people say it’s a downer or negative, but I’m just being honest since there’s plenty of hype elsewhere. Most of the reviewers don’t even shoot, they’re just camera review channels
Did you catch your plane or train Reggie? THX anyway!!!
Not sure what you’re referring to 🤔
Tuco Salamanca 😂😂😂
Haha why do you say that?
You look like him haha. Whenever I watch your videos...I feel Tuco is teaching me. 😂 keep going brother you have excellent videos and I like your family in those 🤗
Haha 😂
You must be a American. Unnecessary annoying music in the background.
Yup. And this is also a few years old and my new videos have no background music. Read the upload date
These aren’t the “best” settings. They’re your preferred settings. Big difference
It’s for seo. I also say in the video there is no best
Reggie, background musac! Distracting ,anoying and unnecessary.
All my recent videos have no music
Why do so many people have to start their videos with “what’s up” it’s a verbal tick, try something different, create your own style. Really useful video, but started with a inane “what’s up?”.
Glenn Turnbull appreciate the comment, but it’s literally how I greet people in real life, haha.
