#fujifilm #xt4 #xt30
best fujifilm explorer on youtube period. i was waiting for you for so long. keep up your great work. many thanks from Russia!
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! 🙏 🙏 That is so kind of you to say!!!
Your topics are always helpful! But the best is really your way to declear: perfect pronouncing and great methodical action. Thank you!
Thank you so much!!!
I agree with that! He speaks so well and clear
I don't think I've seen a video from you where I haven't learned something new. Thank you Chris :) You really are one of the most knowledgeable people in the field. 7:50 bless you!
This video is perfect. My xt2 frequently chooses the wrong face to focus on. I never figured out how to change the focus. Super educational. Thank you so much!
i'm looking into this just now for my XT2- how to toggle between detected faces. i don't think xt2 has this option. Face select.
So I got my XT4 this week all excited. I was quite overwhelmed to say the least, and your videos are a godsend! Thanks!
Another great video, i just finished a photographing a couple shoot and I was using the 56mm f1.2 on my xt4 & the 23mm f1.4 on an xt3, now unless your up close! Around 15-20feet or closer, forget about face/eye detect! Probably only worked 20-30percent of the shots, I kept having to turn it off all the time as it trying its little heart out but failing dismally when I would take a few steps back to get a better composition or similar. I think Fuji have a lot of work to do here.
Thank you Chris!!! Very helpful!!
Awesome, I always like before I watch cause I know it’ll be good.:)
Very helpful as always Chris! Thanks for this, you make my journey/transition to Fuji very smooth 👏🏻
I didn’t know about continuing to press down to go from face to face while in review. Thanks! Great tips.
Thanks!
Omg you are like a god to fuji x user!! Your videos are very informative for a short amount of time in a video! Thank you!😁
Great video, very useful! I've bought an XT4 recently and i'm still figuring out all the features and configs! Thanks!
Thanks man! (Is your first name Chris?) Very often when I'm looking help for Fuji settings it's your channel that provides the answer I'm looking for.
Another great video! Simply, clear, and detailing every option!! 👏👏👏
Could you please tell me exactly where to find the "FACE SELECT ON" command in the custom button settings screen (when you press & hold DISP/BACK?) on an X-T5? On page 3/10 , I see FACE DETECTION ON/OFF and RIGHT/LEFT EYE SWITCH, but no FACE SELECT option. Thanks for your videos. This has been super helpful.
Like Chris I have Fn1 "face detection on/off". I hadn't realized that the eye setting to go with that is whatever is set in the menu (or Q menu).
Thank god for this useful tip
Fantastic video, Chris! One of your best.
Thanks again for another wonderful Fujifilm video. I am joining the Fuji film club next month. Maybe a video of the very first things to do when you get a Fuji camera.
Bro you are a machine I love it. 👍
Thanks. You mentioned group of people front and back. In this situation I always screwed up a shot, as Fuji focused on one face but not the other one. How should I solve this problem ? Thank you very much if you can reply
One of your best Chris, very helpful to me.
That's awesome, thank you so much Tony!!!! 🙏 🙏
I have an XT-20 and plan to shoot portraits, some very close and some farther away. My aim is to capture more abstract facial images.There will not always be a 'face' per see for the focusing system to 'find'. But at least one, usually two eyes will always be in the frame. Will the eye detection work in this case? Thanks
Again great video and again my positive comment!! Definitely worth to check the 'focus modes' video!!!
Thanks man, this was SO useful. Eye-AF has been baffling me, especially with the face select (which IMO should be the default mode). It seems I have to turn it on everytime too. I put it as a screenswipe but sometimes it all fails on me during a shoot. I had it just now - swiping to the left but it didn't register. I should use my custom button for Eye-AF-select to be sure and safe, I guess.
Brilliant thank you I learned so much 👍🏻
I really hope Fujifilm improves their face/eye auto detect to be on par with the Sony, Canon, and Nikon systems. I really hope they add animal eye auto detect too.
Great stuff as always. Quality Fuji content 👍
Thanks for this awesome fast Friday multiple tips!
Thank you very much. I finally comprehend it.
Awesome video!
Thanks Chris - another fab video!
Thank you , I couldn't figure it out
Thanks for the tips. As always, very helpful video. Thanks
My pleasure!
Thanks, Chris. Great info and very helpful. Did know the down button tip!
Yeah, pretty cool feature to use!
I've setting my xt20 with AF'l-C switch on and face detection On, but the green box is still not moving, why is it?
Soooo how does one actually find the Face Select setting? Can't find it in the XT-5.
Another KILLER Video! Of course I also didn't know about Face Select button assignment...
Thanks!!! Yeah, they kinda hid that one there.
@@pal2tech I already had a button assigned for Face / Eye detection. I just substituted that function for Face Select. Am I missing something by doing so?... I figure that Face Select has all the advantages, without losing any functionality. Right?...
@@pg205 I think as soon as you review your images it turns face detect off again when using 'Face Select' mode.
I did the same and then found it infuriating that it kept switching it off so I just swapped back to the regular face detect function. Maybe it's fixed by now...
Sam Grimes you’re right! I tried yesterday and found the same! Infuriating... back “Face & Eye detection”!
great clear video
im concerned but only hear from comments about being able to use the touch screen feature to tell the camera where to focus (like to refocus or correct focus when the camera cant find the face)
in your tutorial about shooting movie i hope you can add this topic as well to confirm or maybe there's more things I still dont know. ( at least mention which fuji camera has it)
Every video is a great one, thanks!
Thank you so much Mirko! 🙏
Another great video Chris
Thanks Rob!! 👍🏻
Thanks a lot. Very useful feature.
This is a bit off topic, but where do you get your red button for your Fuji’s shutter release? Great videos and I’m so glad I found your channel
such a good and funny vid. thank you
Thank you!
So helpful. If you have an opening in your tutorials can you do a training vid on setting custom settings on the XT-4? I have been unsuccessful in locking in more than one of the custom settings. I've found nothing on-line that helps. Thanks!
Hi all, just a question I can't find an answer to.... Can you select the face by using focusing point? So half press the shutter over a person face and then face/eye locks on? I believe Sony does something like this. I have a handicap and my right hand has trouble with fine motor control. So being able to so focus point you select the right subject would be great. I looking to upgrade to either the Fuji x-t4 or Sony a7iv.
Good stuff Chris. Thanks
@pal2tech can you turn off the white tracking box ? It’s always looking for something to lock onto
Still i don't have Fuji Camera, But I never miss any videos....👍
Thanks Chris for this video. Very instructive. One question. If face select automatically starts face detection, is it no more convenient to assign this to a function button in stead of face detection itself?
Thank you for the tutorial! Is the "face select" a feature only a feature of the XT-4? I don't find it as an option in the menus of my XT-3. Am I overlooking it?
It's a firmware 3.00 addition. The priority face can be selected by using the touch screen or focus lever.
Make sure you have firmware 3.0 updated.
You should have more abo
Really good video
Hi! Hoping that someone can answer my question. I'm using Fujifilm x-a3 and want to turn on the eye detection, but I can't select it. Does it have any restrictions? Thank you!
More Informative. Thank you dear!
You are most welcome!! 🙏
does XH1 has the ability to choose a face (among others) via custom button ? I cant find it....
What happens with photometry when face detection is on? I noticed I cannot switch to single point - what's the logic here? Thanks!
Awesome video👍🏼
Hi Chris. How to make face/eye focus on multiple faces in a shot.or do these cameras can focus on only one face all the time.
Your video is very informative. Can you please clarify this point. Thank you
Hey pal. Would it be possible to do a AF comparison between XS20 , XT5 and XH2s in face and eye AF?
Brilliant video possibly your best yet thanks. Two quick things what lens have you got on the camera and a daft one where did you get the soft shutter release from 🤦🏻 Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻
Can I move forward and back, left and right, with AF-C face detect on and will it keep tracking?
Great video! I have my XT3 set for back button focus. Does the face eye AF work the same way with BBF as you described using the 1/2 shutter press? Thanks
Great Video!
question: Though shooting for decades, I am relatively new to Fuji cameras, starting with the X30, then XT3, and now just getting the XT5. Love these cameras, but still trying to process the intricacies of the many AF modes and options, particularly Face/Eye detectiion. I was puzzled that I couldn't control metering using eye AF, but then watched this video to learn that F/E AF controls metering for the face when on. The problem for me is that when street shooting, this presents exposure problems with back lit subjects or those with a bright background. Adjusting exposure manually when trying to shoot fast may be beyond my abilities. Do you have any suggestions? Or am I misunderstanding something? Thanks
I'd be curious too! I wish there was a way to de-couple F/E AF and exposing for the face.
Thanks for this! Quick question - would you use this for street photography? How fast is this compared to say, zone focusing as a technique when you are among lots of people who are walking about?
I was applying some things I learned with focus mode from one of your videos on the X-t3. Amazing video! I’m having a problem though when it’s really funny outside my Fujifilm starts struggling to focus and won’t lock focus of anything. Is there a fix to that or is it just the camera? I have a white dog that I take pictures of and when it’s sunny I have to underexpose to get her lit correctly and not over expose her fur. Still, even under exposing at harsh sunlight it struggles to lock focus. Please help 😞
As a photographer does it make sense to upgrade from the X-T2 to the X-T4? Trying to figure out if the price is really worth it.
Is there a way to program a button to switch between eye AF combined with C and no eye AF S?
mr. pal2tech
I'm considering buying an X-T3 but I don't know whether my graphics card can handle editing 4k 10bit 400mbps 30fps video. Do you know where from can I download a sample to try to edit it and see how my computer deals with it?
So it seemed like I can’t use the face detection while I dun want the exposure keep changing
I used to use a 'Face Select' hotkey until I realised it was turning face detect off everytime i reviewed my images which was annoying. Can you check if you experience the same issue? I dont really want to use two custom buttons to have both features available.
One of the best "Friday" segments on TH-cam! Great work. #ALToRnativeFacts
LOL, thanks Alfred!!! 👍
Excelente gracias por compartir....
Thank you so much for all of your videos. They’re really helpful :). I was wondering if you, or anyone else in the comments, might have a solution to an issue that I’m running into with focus on my x-t4. I actually just noticed this issue tonight when I was playing with the camera.
When I don’t have face eye auto detect on, my camera will not focus on any objects within a range of about 5 feet or closer. However, when I turn face eye detect on, it will focus on those same objects up to about a foot away (using both the sigma 18-35 and kit lens 18-55). I’m not sure what the cause of this is and hope that it’s not the camera being faulty. I did a factory reset to see if maybe it was a glitch of some sort, but the issue is still persisting. It’s just so weird because I have it off and can’t focus on a subject relatively close. Keep the camera in the same position, but turn on face eye auto detect and it focuses right away. I’ve also tried this in continuous and single modes. Sorry for the long post. Thanks in advance!
Can face eye auto work when using the timer?
Hi. what's your settings for the face detection? speed and tracking
Nice video. Just curious, you use the menu a lot why not use the Q menu to access the features? Many of the features you use the main menu for
can be found in the Q menu.
LOL, honestly, I'm still trying to FIGURE OUT the Q menu. I'll probably need to actually do a video on it because it's such a mystery to me with the BASE and C1, etc.
@@pal2tech It's actually one of my favorite features of the FujiFilm system.
@@pal2tech "Base" is a misnomer - it just means "current settings are those from the C number below". But this is very confusing if you are on the C1 settings!
I’ve finally figured out the Q menu, but I would encourage you to make a video about it. I think Fuji needs to do some human factors on the Q. It seems to me it is not all it could be, but I do believe it has great potential.
How to enable tracking af in video?
how come mine is focusing only one eye and the other totally soft :(
Not only 👍, but 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hopefully fuji get the focus system to where you can focus on at least 2 subjects
Omg I totally got it all wrong !!!
😆🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈
Thank you for the tip. It worked upon exactly as you said. However after some time I realised one issue.The Shutter button on half press does not work in Continuous focus mode. Am I wrong with some setting mistake? the continuous focus works only when I use back button assigned for focus. The half press shutter button should work in Continuous Focus too? thank you.
Go to your menu > setup(wrench) > button/dial setting > page 2 > Shutter AF > AF-C = ON
@@cirmothe9 Ohh! let me try and reply.
@@cirmothe9 Thank you. works
Is there a way to have face detection on but have the green box off on the display?
I don't think so. If there is, I couldn't find it.
AFC for face auto detect?
Menu menus
If panisonic g9 had phase detection it would be perfect for the average user its menus are uesr friendly.
I have sony fuji and Olympus camers
Olympus is the most comfortable and has great quick menu. Turn a nob you are in manual focus easy
Fuji funest for me because i am old its the one i grab
But when i want to put a manual focus lens, i have to go in to the menu which is a nightmare for me
I am a average worker who has a job working in deferent equipment menus every day so when i go in to a menu it better be user frendly and the fuji cameras menu is not user frendly.
Hey man! I recently bought an XT4 and can't find the metering modes. Where can I find it?
See here: fujifilm-dsc.com/en/manual/x-t4/menu_shooting/shooting_setting/index.html#photometry. It's in the shooting section of menu. Best to assign a custom button to get to it quickly.
eye detection auto focus ok. but car, cat, horse tracking ?
great video
Thanks!!
Damn that 16-55 lens is big. Is the 16-80 the same size?
Hey random question but do you shoot in natural live view when shooting only raw?
Nope, I usually shoot in preview WB/Exposure mode.
Ah, you just had to be using that immaculate 16-55.
I dropped mine yesterday. :-(
It's still works perfectly, but has a huge scuff.
Nice video
Thank you Steve!!!
What is the set-up for group photos with XT2?
Depends on many factors, lens, distance, background, light. Try wide/tracking autofocus with Face detect.
Great video, does it work with back button focus too?
Thanks! Yes, I believe so.
pal2tech thank you! I follow you from Italy! Thank you for your video!
@@mattiamele8808 You are most welcome!
And Sonys works all the time 😝
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I wish it had animal/eye detect as well like Sony and Olympus
Yeah, I wish it had that also!!!
The implementation is very poor on the x-t3. I shoot portraits with the 50-140 and the 50 and 90 f2 and i have to help it al lot. Especially with nude scenes where there is a lot of exposed skin, it doesn’t work. Fuji should adres and give us a beter algoritmen. And yes i am talking about firmware 3.30 on the x-t3 and all of my lenses are updated
Yeah, I did most of my tests on the XT4, but can imaging that it would struggle with skin. I'm surprised to hear the 90mm would be problematic.
pal2tech Iam , waiting for the x-h2 otherwise it a waste of money to trade my x-t3. Also the 140 is problematic. I use it a lot for horseback riding. With close ups of the horse head and rider it misses most of the time. To bad. Fuji should really adres this
Something to ponder over during the weekend......would it also work on low overflying seagulls ?!? Yes..that's right ..seagulls !
