- Here are some of the camera settings I turn off.
Yes, I cheated with some. They were "changed" not "off." But this is free content, man. Don't complain.

What Fujifilm setting do you guys turn off?
jpeg, so that I can experiment with X raw studio :)
Power. Anytime possible. Because small batteries.
Shooting without card OFF!
You have to do the opposite next .
I turn off: half-pressed AF-C (I use the back button, which is small BTW on the XT2 and hard to feel), sound, preview, large indicators and I also switch to Xena Compression
I am getting turned ON.. OFF! I mean OFF
Personally, I always make sure the “Self Destruct” feature is turned off. I turn it off when I first purchase a new or used camera body, then check once a month to make sure it is still turned off.
That is why I do not use Canon because the self destruct feature can not be turned off😆😆😆
Where is this feature???
Suggest also turning AF illuminator to OFF. That laser-light focus aid upset some rough folks in a pool tournament I was photographing - they asked me to turn it off, and seeing how their tattoos were more elaborate than mine, I did😁. No kidding, true story.
Good one!!
Yes! Especially if you are going to shoot animals. They get spooked by that light rather easily and sensitive animals will become camera averse, always afraid of that light.
As I have said before, but will repeat none-the-less, as someone new to photography and the Fuji system - I am incredibly grateful for all that give of their time and effort to share their experience with others. In the case of Omar, we get that all that and the best show in town. I still think he deserves to have his own Saturday morning kids show 😁
Please keep making videos Omar talk about whatever we will watch them all.
Sound off is my first choice too!
Unfortunately I can't compress RAW file because Mac OS X doesn't shows preview for those files...
That is so annoying!! Fix it apple
I was thinking the same thing! I also use other software to compare raw editing like on my iPad such as affinity photo and Pixelmator to do editing for Instagram on the go and it doesn’t support compressed raw. At one point I thought maybe I could shoot compressed raw and convert the ones I need back to uncompressed for usability but currently that’s not even possible.
OMG! I have just turned the Noise Reduction setting down to -4 as you suggest and I just cannot believe the difference it has made. THANKYOU SO MUCH. I love my Fuji XT3 anyway but this has just knocked it out the park, but in a good way! I have it set to record Raw and Fine, the JPEGs are SO good I only have the RAW as a back up, perhaps I might want to change the Film Type or whatever, truth is so far I haven't had to do this. Please please keep up the great work, and THANKS AGAIN for this tip, love it!
Great video! as a hobbyist, I don't get enough time to really really learn my camera. I love taking what pro's choose for their settings and tweaking them as I go along. More videos like this!
Quick preview is actually useful in studio setting. It is not merely a left over from DSLR days.
This was so useful for a mirrorless and fujifilm nube like me!! please keep making more fujilfilm camera tips!!
I don't have Fuji but I just love watching your videos... So entertaining! I would say, however that even for non Fuji users, you had some tips that people can look at in their camera features for on/off or applicable adjustments.
I turned these settings off, and notifications on! Thanks Omar, I really dig your video style! 👏
The last point is amazing! I didn't know that you can scroll through the options, this is super useful! :)
I wish that there's a setting to customize the 'in focus sound' from just a beep to a sound you can record yourself. Imagine every time it's in focus it sounded 'hee hee' by Michael Jackson or 'it gives you focus' by Emperor palpatine from Revenge of the sith ...
I’d vote for the “hee hee!”
I’d go with “my precious” from smeagol LOL
Thank you! The noise reduction one makes a huge difference! I thought that my xt30 had terrible low light performance...
I've been having issues with my XT-5 (different than my XT-3) for a year or so and couldn't figure out why. I'm an industrial photographer who shoots in many industrial settings like ship and Rail Road yards, airplane hangers and filthy manufacturing locations. Mostly on a tripod and nothing moving, so auto focus not an issue, unit I got the XT-5. I just updated my firmware which took care of the screen blacking out. But focus issues and with my focusing spot location moving every time I turn on the camera. This video and what to turn on , was a tremendus help and love your presentation.
I've been a professional commercial photographer since 1970 shooting film and large cameras. but once we went all digital, I was completely lost learning software and how to find stuff hidden inside a bazillion menus. Omar truly is a great help and appreciate his feedback and willing to give his point of view. I'm heading to the Pacific North West and worried about my XT-5 not performing like I am used to with all my other Fujis. Now I feel more comfortable after trying some of your suggestions.
Great Tip👍 you are to good buddy. Omar I learn photography by watching your blogs. So always appreciate your support toward community. Keep going buddy 👍👍
Coming from smartphone photography as a hobby, I kept my touchscreen to focus on, on my X-T200 and can definitely relate! Ugh! Great tips, cheers! 😁
Great tip regarding the focus mode! So much easier and quicker! 🤙 Thanks Omar
Great Video Omar!!
Top tips Omar. You are my go to TH-cam for Fijifilm. I have learnt so much from you since I got my xt 20 and Xt3 last March. I would love to see you test the 70 -300mm zoom. Thanks Chris (all the way from Wales)
been using fuji for 5 years already. and just notice there's option to have af point to all... danggg.. I've been struggling changing the af mode just to keep it right and need to change af type just to make it bigger. now i just need to leave it in single point.... thanks omar...
i must admit, one of the many good reasons i keep coming back to your videos is that know i want a fujifilm camera for travel, X100V or something to that effect, but! i'm a little worried about the relative incompatibility when it comes to Fuji raw files and Lightroom, (wormy artifacts etc), and i've tried out capture one, which seems to do a nasty number on my pc's overall perfomance even when it's not open for some reason.
Thanks Omar! I have also learned that turning Flicker Reduction ON would introduce a lag to my shots so that my X-Pro3’s Burst Mode only peaks at 5.7fps using the Mechanical Shutter and 10fps using Electronic Shutter. Took me ages to find an answer online! 🥵
I gave this a thumbs up because it's entertaining. You should be a comedian. Reminds me of Kai W
1:31 - and when using EFV you can often change the focus point accidentally with your... nose ;)
Nicely quick tips! Love the short stories much more rather than a 15min version
You would watch this video even if your not a photographer, I love your sense of humour, it’s so good that it also made me buy a Fuji xt30 ii now I have reason to watch more of your videos 😂😂😂
Nice. Def going to try the last time tip
Hi I just got a fujifilm AX2 the blur warning keeps on showing. I want to know how to disable it. Thank you. Really appreciated. 🙏🏻
one small drawback of the compressed RAW I believe is the lack of a thumbnail preview on OSX Finder.
Yep just realized that. I was wondering why I wasn’t getting previews of my photos. Save me a lot of time now since I don’t have to import everything
Focus Mode ALL!? Brilliant.
The lossless compressed setting is a tricky one because Mac computers only recognize certain files that show preview thumbnails in the finder. Be sure to check that before switching...
I prefer auto focus sound off as you and many have recommended. However, recently I watched one of your older videos on how to use the X-T20 (my personal camera) and you demonstrated that the AF was slow on the X-T20 and the green light came on before the camera was focused; thus some of your photos were not in focus.
Your solution was to wait for the sound (which came on slightly after the green light) before snapping the picture. If you waited for the AF to beep all your photos were focused. What am I missing?
Another vote for turning off auto focus noise off as people assume it’s the shutter and move at the worst time
"be careful to your touch screen"
me, with an X-T1 "huhuh my whaaat?"
Thanks, Omar! I've turned both my sharpening and NR to -4 on my X100V and my Black and White images are already looking more film like! 🙂
Very helpful tips, thanks. I took my XT20 out to shoot last week for the first time in a year.
It took me awhile to figure out how to utilize the last tip (about setting the AF Mode to ALL) and then somehow toggling through the options. Here's the key: Press the Joystick In, and then rotate either of the dials. IF it still doesn't work: Go to Wrench: Focus Level Setting, and make sure that PUSH is set to "Edit Focus Area."
Then you're golden!
-4 noise reduction! Learned that from you a while back. Great advice.
I love my fuji camera - I shoot with the image review off, but I turn it on if anyone else will use the camera so it feels more familiar. It's really cool that I can customise it to my shooting preference and also turn it into a basic point and shoot if I want someone else to take a picture!
Hi Omar, thank you for your video, some of those settings are just pure personal taste, except for the noise reduction tip (tottally agree keep it off), but about the screen/evf WB/exp preview on, you should explain that when using flash or any light it should be off and the photo preview on...
Totally - totally agree and that applies to other cameras as well.
just got my first fuji, the XT-3 for about 900$ with 1700 clicks :D watching your channel from a few days, made me buy a fuji ;) and gotta say, coming from olympus/panasonic, the menus are really intuitive and easy in the fuji for someone who nows how a camera works
Cool. Xt3. Great choice
Omar "Ken Rockwell" Gonzalez comes through again and that's why I'm plunkin' down for an X-S10!
nice tip with the ALL focus! big thanks
I know I'm late but this video was definitely OFF the hook ..Simple to follow even so thank you!
Ok! I love the last one! Im coming from Canon and its a bit of a struggle to get comfy with my fuji system. I have a gfx and resently bought a x-e3. It’s nice that you can practice on the little one and get more comfortable with the big gfx. Thank you for great videos! I like you a lot
Learning and laughing at the same time. Perfekt! 👌🏼😁
Thanks for the fun and interesting clips
You can actually keep your swipe functions while disabling touch for focus. Just leave your Touch Screen Setting 'on', but go to AF/MF and turn Touch Screen MODE to 'off'.
I've turned off my touch screen years ago on the X-T20 and now the X-T30. I have my left eye to the viewfinder and my nose would always bump the screen. Consequently, the focus point would be off onto the back 40. Ruined an afternoon of street shooting. Been off ever since.
Good sensible practical one Omar?
I just found this video a year late, thank you so much! I feel much more confident with some of these tips!
Nice video (as usual...).
Thank you Omar, and a little hello from France !!
Would definitely love more tips like this, thanks Omar!
Omar - you are a riot! Thanks
I switched to lossless compressed, went out to shoot, and now I have no tech (Mac or PC) that can open the files without converting the file type first. Bummer!
Hello Omar, thank you so much for those tutorials...i will try to apply them in the future. But, I would like to ask you for something, can you please make video about retouching those events pictures please? Like the luts, color and skin retouching. That would be really great. One more time, thank you a lot.
love the humour and some great advice
Hysterical and helpful as always!
Beginner xe3 user
Please make video on using Ae-l af-l
And how u lock focus and recompose a shot ,or something like that 🤔
Great tips, Omar! I’m fairly new to the Fuji system but there are still things to learn. I’ll use these as I keep make street photography videos.
Thanks Omar. I have done almost of your tips. I have the X-t2 I wish to have touch screen :D.
👍 nice educational video. Kindly make detailed menu tutorial on fuji x-t100. There are no English videos on this.
Thanks omar, there's always something to learn from your video. I would like to ask about 'depth-of-field scale' and mount adaptir setting.
I turn off mechanical shutter, unless I have to use the flash.
ES is silent and works well in most of the situations.
"its considered a BUTTON" OMG!!, I've put been struggling with that issue since I bought my XS-10 new after launch!!!, I turn it off using touch screen from the screen or main touch screen menu and of course after a while you touch the corner of the screen and its back on again and yes focus point has moved aaaaaghh, seconds lost, shots lost especially for street photos, had no idea the solution was under "button" go figure :( .....Omar, you are a Star :)
Great video!
One observation I made regarding RAW files...I shot the same scene uncompressed and compressed, took it into Photoshop and saved as a large jpg.
Strangely, the compressed RAW saved a bigger jpg than the uncompressed. I don’t know why? Interesting, though.
Sometimes I have to chimp, because the screen and EVF have different tints, dynamic range, and contrast values, which drives me mad, but I got used to approximating what my photos actually look like on a colour and gamma accurate screen.
I keep my touch screen setting on, but set the area setting to right. I'm right eye dominant, so if my nose touches the screen there is no problem and i can keep using the screen for focus selection!
I turn off Raw, because I'm only posting on Insta for now.
Keep 'em for later
Very nice, thank you ! I do have a question, I've got an X-S10, great camera, but I need to know.. In Manual mode: can I stop the exposure compensation from changing as well when turning the dial assigned to Shutter Speed ? Is it normal or is it due to a thing that I've changed in the camera ? One more thing, why can't we assign custom function to the two right dial, or can we ? Thanks !
Turn off the focus check auto. Sometimes my lens just jiggles and then the camera zooms on the focus area
But Fuji lossless raws won’t work on a Mac or iPad with Photos, correct?
@They Caged Non ok, had to think back to the issue. They won’t work when importing into Photos on a Mac or iPad. I can’t view them unless they are +jpeg. I can see them just fine directly from the hard drive.
Great movie and awesome advise- made me laugh while learning thanks. Keep them coming!
Begging for the review of the new 70-300mm!!!!!!!!
yes I am waiting for peeps to review it. Seems good on paper, hopefully some store will bundle it with the TC.
It's great and you need it. Just buy it. There I helped you 🤗
My father used to have a barking dog sound as shutter sound on his old compact cheap digital compact camera. „Now everybody smile! 3 - 2 - 1 *wuff wuff* very nice!“ 😆🤣
The way you explain it is hilarious lmaooooo
Thank you for these tips...much appreciated
i don't agree with you with the preview turn off. i agree that we can preview throughout screen but sometime for example when i capture person's emotion i always want to know if i capture it or not so i always put it on 0.5s really helpful!
Good tips, thank you Omar !
This was the first Christmas with a mirrorless camera for me. Shooting with exposure preview in a viewfinder using flash was the most uncomfortable experience ever. I felt like a blind. The photos from dslr last year were better.
Finally I found the way to turn that exposure preview off (in February). Now I want this feature in my Q menu. Didn't manage to find out how to do it yet.
Thanks for the video!
Great tips Omar! Thanks.
Right, right, right, right. On my first digital camera (year 2020) I've turned off everything. Bad idea. Your list is better
I figured out from day one how to turn off the touch screen and the swipe feature -- don't like them. I agree with a lot of your suggestions. Thanks.
Would love to see more videos like this!
Thanks for the final tip!
This was very helpful. I bought a Fujifilm X100V two months ago and kept getting these smooth looking out of focus shots. I think it had to do with the Noise Reduction. Also, I turned off Face/Eye detect after realizing it hinders any other metering mode. I also cut off Long Exposure NR because I tried shooting all Auto at night and I think that ruined most of my shots. I also turned off Natural Live Review. I don't understand the point of that setting. I hoping my next photos are much improved or I am selling the camera.
Thank you so much , game changer !!
I just read an article on the Phoblographer website that says the turning on exposure preview can negatively effect auto-focus.
I haven't deliberately experimented with that but it kind of makes sense: "exposure preview" could perhaps also change the aperture, and with smaller aperture the AF doesn't work as well.
However I'm not entirely sure that it really does that, when you half-press the shutter you can see the DoF changing.
Yes, Tell us about what to turn on, please. Thanks
Omar, recently the preview screen stopped rotating the images. I would take a photo, look at it, and if it was portrait it wouldn't rotate and fill the screen, it used to, but I can't figure out the setting to make it go back to that? Any ideas?
Screen settings. Autorotate PB.
@@ogonzilla SUCCESS
10/10. Great video!
Omar, thanks for the educational videos....very helpful for beginner photographer. One question, what setting do you use for automatic sensor cleaning? Turn on or turn off? Thanks.
Any help? Just received a used Fuji xh-1 .. I’m pressing shutter button, no photos taken, anything I’m missing in control menu? I have it with a sigma lens Nikon to Fuji x mount? Thanks Adam
Hi, I just bought the XF 80mm macro. I need it for my work. It would be good if you could do a video on that.
Wrench settings, screen settings, display custom settings, touchscreen mode OFF
Hi. I just bought x a20. But when i adjust the ISO it suddenly freeze. And need to remove the battery to restart
Toot-tooting my own horn but I'm glad that I already had most of these taken care of, I'm on the XT1 still and I was like dang my noise redud only goes down to -2, cripes! I have my eyes set on the X-Pro 2, I can't wait to find the right deal on it. But I'm in no real hurry. I'm blown away, and away again with the fine/raw quality coming out of this 7 year old sensor and processor. I can wait to breakthrough the X line of cameras like I'm on the Fuji Varsity Photog team! I shot all state *some type of jock-o bro grunt noise of affirmation*!
The only scenario for turning off preview white balance and exposure is for using manual control for flash in dark environments.
