Great review, Chris. thanks for the info. I always learn something from your videos! Love the bloopers at the end! You should make this a regular feature of your videos!
I wish Fuji would update film sim bracketing to allow us to bracket with custom sims.
Totally agree. That is exactly the reason why I never use it. The default simulations are so stale once you configured some improved custom sims.
Was literally thinking this yesterday!!😮😂
And why stop at three! And also perhaps the choice to save just one RAW (if RAW+JPG setting is on).
So much options for kaizen. But xt4 is death to them. 😢
@@trowawayacc maybe since they think that it's about "will the camera handle the update?" like will the camera's built in processor and memory keep up with the updates
Tip on flicker: The electronic flicker is a product of the line voltage frequency. You need to be aware of that frequency beforehand. In America, 60Hz. In many other parts of the world, it’s 50Hz. LED bulbs will cycle at double that frequency (120Hz or 100Hz). Set your shutter speed in multiples of that frequency, like 0.5, 1, 2, and so on (eg: for 50Hz 1/25, 1/50, 1/100, /200, etc).
100hz in uk
Awesome vid as always Chris! I always learn something new about Fuji cameras from you. 📷🙏♥️
that film sim bracketing is amazing!! you knowledge of fuji cameras is kinda insane
Another great video. Thank you, I'm so grateful for your Fuji videos.
Thanks for the tips and tricks! Really liked the film sim bracketing feature!
the self-timer trick is awsome, did not know about it. thks a lot
Awesome tips, Chris. There are so many hidden settings and features to explore. 🎉
Great video as always man..! Thank you Chris!
WOW - another great video. I am going to try out the film simulation and flickering settings tomorrow. Thank you for what you do :)
As always, I learned something useful today even though I have been using Fuji cameras for several years. Thanks and have a good weekend.
Very useful - especially the sim bracketing! Thanks
You are an absolute Fuji legend, thanks for this awesome content ❤
Natural live view is a good one to assign to a custom button or screen swipe if you use flash frequently. You can also use natural live view with the expanded RGB histogram to check for highlights being clipped. Great video Chris
Good tip my man! I also recommend using "natural live view" in lowlight situations for a much better preview of the scene. Since there is no tone curve whatsoever applied, you can you see the darker areas of your scene much more clearly.
Great video, I have been shooting Fujifilm for quite some time now and yes there was a lot of hidden jems I didn't know about. I have been subscribed for some time now and I bookmark a lot of your tutorials as I forget a loy of the settings because there are so many. Grear job thanks again. Cheers Randy
Nice overview of some interesting Fujifilm features. I've been thinking about trying some bracketing with focus, but I only have the free version of Capture 1 and I don't see any way to combine the images in there. I have to go back to your C1 videos and watch them again! Have a great weekend.
Very informative video as expected ❤
Didn’t expect something new. Was pleasantly surprised❤
Hi. Thanks so much for your videos. Since purchasing my X-T5 you have helped so much in demystifying the menus and helping me enjoy my camera. My go to guy. Keep on trucking 👍
Thanks for another informative and entertaining video!
Brillant Job as always.
I’m glad you shared that interval timer trick. I use it for family group shots that I want to _be in_ Cheers Chris! Thanks for being our Fuji manual in a much more entertaining way!
For group photography I use the remote control. At 50 meters. The button also has two positions, pre-setting and release. And many more different functions: timelapse, series of frames... $20 price. Addelan WTR-2, not an advertisement. Buy and use for self-portraits. (Google Transletter)
Thank you so much for the setting suggestions for the interval timer! I use that for self portraits all the time as I am a solo traveller...I usually set it to wide tracking focus but I think I'll give your settings a go to see if they're better. I have had times where it's missed focus!
I am very interested in learning more about the flickering reduction function for photography. I wonder if I should basically always keep it on? I suffered quite a bit during this Christmas with all the lights :(
Great posts, as always. I've learned so much, really enjoying shooting away with my XT2. thanks
hello I was on vacation and ran across this video while surfing in the hotel--- It helped me in planning a few self shots where i needed some time to get to the pre focused frame. Thanks again very helpful
Thanks for sharing yet another greate video.
Both entertaining and helpful. Knew some of them already, but not all. Thanks for sharing. Really enjoying your channel.
(Long time XT-2 user, and recent X-H2S purchaser, part funded by trading in most of my Canon gear. The H2S set up last week with your help).
Great video thank you
Good stuff, thanks Chris!
Great video! I'd love if you'd consider doing a video-centric youtube about the X-T5. Your X-T4 one is excellent, but the bitrates and resolution settings are all a bit newer and different on the T5.
You nail every time that Job 📸
Amazing video, thank you.
Haven’t viewed your channel for a while as I’ve sort of lost interest in photography, but this had me running to my camera bag and getting my Fuji out for a play. Thank you!
Man I just picked up a used Fuji X-T3, 3 hours ago from the post office 😅 Best timing for a YT post ever!!
You’re the best Chris.
Entertaining and useful! Thanks :-)
Thank you very much for these tips.
Hello Chris. Big fan for years here! Still learn something new watching years old videos from you. I’ve found a couple things by accident too. Here’s one I haven’t heard you mention. The fn button on top does double duty. If assigned something from menu it still works as WiFi on playback. 2 for the price of one. Wish others did same.
Thank you, great video
This was very helpful. Can you do a video on your camera setting when you are out for the day with your family. When you do not have time to play with the setting. Thank you.
Thank you Chris .
As regards Natural Live View . I shoot raw so always have it set to ON
In the section covering NLV you referenced it against flash .
When shooting flash in a studio type setting it is best to switch Exposure Preview to off .
One exception that also works for raw shooters is to monitor with a black and white film sim in order to compose for contrast and tone. It can literally be an eye opening experience to eliminate color while emphasizing composition.
I learnt something Thank You 🎉
Gracias Chris!! Question: with the Bracket film sim in raw and fine, do you get 3 Raw files as well or just one + the 3 jpegs? Thanks for all you do for us!
Hey Pal, watched and loved your videos for a long time and you seem like the perfect person to ask cuz I keep hitting roadblocks in every combo I try. What is a reliable way to monitor the XH2s open gate feed WITH de squeeze for anamorphic shooting? So many cable and monitor combinations I've gone through and all of them sometimes work, and sometimes not.
Hello Chris. I’m a big fan of yours. Question: I have seen a nice cage in one of your videos on an xt3, wooden handle and all. What kind and brand is it and what is it for? How about a video on cages and uses and reason for using one. Thanks for all your teachings 👏🙏
Film sim bracket? I usually shoot RAW but you've given me something to play with. Fun stuff!
Tell you what I would love. Some
Singular videos and tutorials on very general and specific topics. Eg:
How to take a picture of the moon and which lenses are best.
How to photograph fireworks, stars. Snow falling. Racing Cars. Storm troopers. Children running (tho one of your videos did touch on it). How to take good photos of birds and wildlife like a professional would (my photos suck as I still don’t know if I need a shutter speed of 40 or 100, 200 or more even?
Cheers. We love you.
Film sim bracketing is a huge discover!
Great , thanks lot
Great video! Here's one that's puzzled me - am I really getting a stop of light back if I use the electronic shutter? The display suggests as much but how can it be??!!
Hello, very nice explained and video!! I saw an older video of how to use an external monitor. I have the Finepix HS20EXR and when I plug A monitor with the mini HDMI that has the camera I can only see when I press the playback button the pictures and videos I made and nothing else!!! No live signal from the camera and the monitor says no signal!! When I press again the playback button then the monitor goes on again and I can see the pictures I took!!! I can't find anything in the settings menu! Do have any advice pls?? thanks.
Hello all, one question about sound settings. It looks like you can save custom settings for IQ, AF/MF etc, so that for example C1 can have different settings VS C2 and so on. However, everything nested into the wrench menu sets the camera universally, so I don't have a way to have the sound on with C1 but sound off with C2. At least on X-S10, I don't know about the other Fuji cameras
Love you! ❤❤❤
Thanks for some hidden treasures!
Thanks!
@pal2tech Can you make another video settings video but for the xt5. its a little different from the xt3 i had. slow motion i feel was better on xt3. i love your videos!! Big fan! :)
Thank you for your tips, iv been following your videos since i got my xt3. Now having moved to xt5. Is there any way to do multi exposure with the xt5? like the xt3 had this feature under the iso dial. But its not the case of the xt5. Any way to do this on the xt5? Really miss this on my xt5
thank you for this - I needed to learn about the natural live view feature... I was trying my strobe set up and had no idea how to see anything on the screen haha
For strobes you need to disable “preview exp./wb”
Thanks for the sef-timer setting tip. This has been a huge annoyance for me for ages. Not sure why it does nor default to on, but happy days
I always use the interval shooting for selfies with my wife. Going to do it again today. Happy Valentine's.
I knew most of these, learned several from you. One big challenge I face in getting the settings right on my X-T5 is that I shoot multiple genres: wildlife, macro, street, portrait, travel, landscape, abstract. Now that the X-T5 has good animal and eye tracking, I shoot autofocus-mostly with XF lenses-and manual focus-often with manual 3rd-party lenses.
I’ve tried to optimize settings, and do use a suite of custom menus, which I continue to tune. Just got the camera back from a professional sensor cleaning-and a reset of many menu choices. Going through the menus in detail, I realize again that
1) since many of the possible menu choices are mutually contradictory, it’s complicated to get even generic choices like screen display set the way I want them. For example, I always want to see Aperture, Shutter, ISO in viewfinder & screen, but Aperture and Shutter Priority turn off the display of the other parameter.
2) Some choices have unanticipated consequences; e.g., shooting singles often requires significant processing lag for save to card, but shooting bursts with the same settings doesn’t! Sometimes I have been able to identify the slow operation, sometimes I haven’t.
I never use flash or shoot video, so I don’t have to deal with those complexities. How do people manage to ride this beast?
The lag when shooting single could be because of the clarity setting? If you have clarity on anything other than 0 it will take more time to process the photo. If you shoot in burst it will ignore the clarity setting which makes the processing faster.
@@Brian444 there is also a Sharpness setting in the quick menu that pops up with the right button on an x-t200, not sure what it actually does. Any idea?
Chris, can I use double exposure feature combining 2 C’ custom? Like I shoot first exposure on C1, the second on C3? Is that possible?
Nice! I've thought that I've _knew_ all of these. But it's happened that I've knew how it was described but not how it was meant to be used!
Chris, what's about "Lens modulation optimizer"? I was hoping that you will explain this.
I've didn't found a real explanation anywhere...
Danke!
Thanks for making this video, it’s a great one👍🏼👍🏼
May I ask if the Film Sim Bracketing saves 3 Raw files or just 1?
3 sadly
🤦♂ Thanks... I tried it out myself too.... it's stupid.... @@thomasemory4352
Thanks for the tricks and tips! One question though. Have you experienced problems in catching real red light when the light source is radiating; e.g. car tail lights, neon signs. My X-T1 just can not reproduce red correctly in those situations. Same applies to my cell phone camera. When the red is reflected light from any surface then red is perfect.
Each command dial does many things when pressed or rotated. Most camera’s functions can be adjusted with just them. Front for switching and adjusting aperture, iso, exp compensation. Rear for shutter speed, program shift, choose focus frame size, assigned function, etc.
I keep hearing about rolling shutter syndrome on the X-H2. In the majority of cases (rapid pans in a horizontal plane), is this still apparent if the camera is used in portrait orientation? If not, I wonder why the sensor cannot be read horizontally in electronic shutter mode...
Have a good weekend everyone 😀
Really thanks ‘cause I’m using Fuji since 5 years and I missed some features. Please what can I do to have my name on the wall of the studio??
Also don't forget about the built-in image editor, even OG X100 from 2012 has it! It's so useful for little corrections of JPEGs.
I saw the video and found the film simulation bracketing super interesting. I ran to my xt4 to do it. However, this can only be done with the original simulated films. It doesnt work with customized ones. Unfortunate! :( Fuji could change that! It would be awesome! Excellent video and tips @pal2tech!
Chris why can’t I change image size🎉. out of M ? It is in Fine/Raw but will not allow me to change to large. Thanks
what is the model of this small tripod?
Hi,
I have issues with my exposure preview when I am in either aperture priority mode, or shutter priority mode.
The exposure preview seems to work when in manual mode.
My camera is I’m Preview EXP./WB IN Manual Mode - Preview EXP./WB and NATURAL LIVE VIEW is off.
Please advise how I can recover my exposure previews when in aperture or shutter priority.
Thanks
THE BEST
Hi! Thank's for the new video! I have a question, but on other topic. Maybe you can help me. I have Fujifilm XPro3. My quick button "Q" was locked few days ago somehow. and on the screen appear yellow sign of camera with lock. I don't know how to unlock it. Maybe you know and can help me?
Press and hold menu/ok

Hello Chris, I discovered with the XH2s that it’s possible to use flash in electronic shutter!!! Do you believe 🎉👌📸 Big hugs from Portugal 🇵🇹 thanks again
I dont know if he already made a video about making your camera as your web-camera or outer camera. I really would love to try it to use it for vlogging and live streaming.
The interval timer is one of my favorite little things. But I would not use it without having the "focus by half pressing the shutter button"-option on. I cant for the life of me remember what its called. But that way it re-focuses every frame, so if you move it will focus on you. Sometimes you have to turn it off for whatever reason, but in general it's a lifesaver
I guess the flickerless shutter speed depends on which region you are. I expected to have 50hz and 60hz option, but the ability to set shutter speed in small increments is welcomed as well.
Flash does work with the electronic shutter, at least on my X-H2S.
Something that drives me insane is that when using Natural live view, you’re locked in to the film sim you’ve selected. I wish it would show just a standard negative or bo film sim at all with natural live view regardless of selected film sim. Am I wrong about this or doing something incorrectly? I’d like to see my Acros setup and then switch to a color natural live view as more of a RAW preview. Any way to do that? Thanks for talking about film sim bracketing, that’s gonna be. Game changer for me!
Love your videos, always making me try new things... However I broke my camera... It fell really hard and fix it costs almost as much as the entire camera 😢... Can you make a video on how to deal with that type of trauma? 😢😢😢
For those who have a GFX, ie 100S, for the film sim bracketing, go into your drive mode to select the film sim bracketing since the GFX does not have a dial for that.
My XT3 has no flicker setting under video mode and the one in the drive settings is grayed out.
Every time I think that the secrets you can tell about the Fujifilm are over... You find others to tell us.
You are infinite, not "shooting mode"! ❤
Guys like you are responsible, that after decades using Sony I switched to Fujifilm X-H2. And Photography with Fujifilm is a new experience since then. Thank you so much for your videos and your support.
Hi may i know what type of photography you do. how is X-H2 autofocus, a lot of people complaining about autofocus is not good even in still photography it cant focus accurately. is it produce sharp images like sony
For me I see no difference between the Fujifilm and my a7c. The focus is fast. And precisely on point. But the viewfinder of the Fuji simply said is 😮😮😮. Detailed and exact. No comparison to the Sony
@@ronaldheinrich6683 Thanks for your reply. you said the focus is precise but some photographers on youtube is saying its not as sharp as full frame especially the eyes and eyebrows. its because of they dont know the focus settings or something, i am thinking to take xh 2 or xt 5. i do mainly weddings. what do you suggest
I know them both. Both have their place. I think the X-H2 is more convenient for your specifications. You can personalize the buttons as on the x-t5. But this camera, the x-t5, slows down the photography in a very relaxing way so to say. You sit and wait and use the aperture and iso and wait for the moment. The X-H2 is more professional in the way you are looking for
@@ronaldheinrich6683 ok thanks for the reply. you didn't tell me what kind of photography you do weddings or fashion
I remember that one of the early Fuji X cameras had a hot key to switch to silent shutter (long press one of the keys turned it into silent mode with electronic shutter, no flash and no beeps). Is this still hidden somewhere?
Hold display button back and you can then assign a shutter type to any function key of your choosing
Chris,
Q: I've been using my X-T5 for 6 or 7 months now. I am a long time photographer (48 years) with mostly experience in Pentax, Nikon and Canon (for 12 years+).
I can't figure out how to remove the "OK next" prompt after taking an image, in the (viewfinder, and also on the display as well)?
It's the one thing that bothers me as I had it set to NOT show in the viewfinder/display initially, but after the reset of the camera, it's there... Do you know how to get rid of the "OK Next" text that appears?
THANKS! 😂
Found it!
the Set Up menu -> Screen Set-Up-> Image DISP.
It is probably set to CONTINUOUS. This will give you the "OK Next" message.
To avoid, that set the Image DISP. to a time option, or OFF.
First one, Hi from Iraq pal2tech
Hi there! First!!! That's AWESOME!! 🏆
Nobody can seem to answer this, but when you use the film simulation bracket mode, will it use the saved settings you have applied for a certain film simulation?
Nope, film sims only.
1/50th second for flicker reduction might only work in Japan/Europe where they use 50Hz power. In the US we use 60Hz.
I have 2 XT4 and 2 XH2s and it’s possible with the XH2s I couldn’t believe. Crazy, probably because of the Stack Sensor
I need some help from the master :) I'm on a budget and are saving up for a new Fujifilm camera, I've managed for a decade with a couple of x-m1's ... yes that one, the only M camera, I like it, small but solid metal body, sensor is good, pictures are great, but what to upgrade to? you should think I'm happy with almost anything as most cameras should be better than it now, but I'm really not sure, I've seen newer budget fujifilm cameras that do not seem better (I pixel peep and I want that kind of quality) anyway, have you ever though about that a 16MP sensor on a x-m1 is the same size as the 24/26 etc MP sensors in newer cameras, this means the pixels sensors are bigger? and this is one of the arguments fullframe fans like to use is it not? bigger pixels get more light equals better dynamic range and what not.... Anyway -what I look for : weatherproofing, Ibis, x system, flip screen preferably as I like to look down on it, and it needs to be as small as possible since I carry it everywhere... I would like to have a viewfinder now.. the flash I never use so I dont need flash, I shoot in manual most times so I prefer buttons too menues but I'm fine with configurable buttons, what would be a good buy? a series, e series, pro series, s series? I'm looking at the x-s20 now.. I dont know.. I like the ability to do panorama, use it as a webcam, and did I read it could do timelapse?
I use the Godox V1
Here's something Fujifilm cameras need: White Balance for Flash. (WB-Auto is inconsistent for the on-camera flash and Daylight is too blue.)
My XS-10 has a white balance setting for underwater shooting. Wow, there must be at least a couple of dozen people on the planet who utilize that feature.
