Dear Fuji, congratulations on the X-Pro3! It looks to be among the greatest cameras of all time. And perhaps I'm in the minority for saying this, but I think it is incredibly versatile, and would certainly be my first choice if I were to be confined to a single camera.
yeah I was like WHAT? thats very cool for those using vintage glass. Thats always a problem when using adaptive lenses you have to manually write it down or iunload the card right after a shoot with an old lens with no EXIF data otherwise you forget and can add it in your post comments on Flickr or other Social Media sharing sites. Fuji is thinking of ALL those little nuances. excellent
There is problem with fujifilm X-pro3 , if you attach the Swiss release plate for tripod you can’t open the screen all the way down 180 degree. Is there any special plate for it
I’m a professional headshot and portrait photographer, in a small studio with strobes and also with natural light. I have an XT3 and most recently, a X100V, and I’ve fallen seriously in love with the rangefinder style of the X100. So much so, that I’m considering selling the XT3 to get the XPRO3. I’d love your thoughts on that. I actually like the idea of the “hidden” LCD, and I love the connection with my subject when I look through a rangefinder style camera. It’s intimate and I can feel the camera get out of the way. It feels good to have an eye on my subject. I have no problem with the XT3, it’s great and reminds me of the old Nikon FE that I trained on as a teen. I just feel a deep connection to rangefinder style. I trained on film, shooting since I was 13, and something about the analog feel of the XPRO is calling to me, but unsure how it would be for professional headshots and portraits. Would you feel confident to have the XPRO as a main portrait and even a studio camera? Could it replace my XT3? I also occasionally shoot family portraits and small events, occasionally a wedding. My work is all about people and the human connection to clients. Thanks for any thoughts! I trust your expertise.
There’s only two things I want to do when I’ve taken a photo - check the focus and the histogram. I don’t want to have pull the screen down every time to do that. Nobody seems to be covering those essentials or where you can do that. Can the histogram be accessed on the little back screen. Can both be accessed in the EVF?
Peter MacDonald Thanks for asking. While the histogram is not viewable in the rear LCD panel, you can use the EVF to view it, as well as confirm focus.
@@fujiguys Yeah, I usually chimp and check via the EVF, and appreciate the fold-out screen for events for more flattering portraiture. However, I'd also really love to see two implementations for the submonitor from Kaizen if possible: the histogram (or eq.)

The good screen has already been invented before and implemented well in the X-A70. You can hide it, Show it or flip it. That's the best screen option I've seen.
The fully articulating screen is worse for waist-level shooting, because it takes longer to angle up, and sticks out from the side of the camera. A slightly better mechanism for this camera is the one used on the old sony a77 series of cameras. It can be hidden, and is still good for waist-level.
@@1fareast14 Longer to angle up not true. If longer is more 2 seg. OK, but don't find that argument so valid. The other, that it sticks out, yes, sometimes can be less useful but in general I find it more times convenient. If you do only waist level, I agree, but I do a lot of other positions and , like I said, 85% of the times, is more convenient.
I know it's not designed with video in mind, but according to the specs on the Fuji website at full HD the max recording time is nearly one hour. That's a big first for X cameras as far as I know.

@@Ambuehlance Yes, it works. But while you transfer via USB OTG, you have to use the file manager app to access the SD card files. The Fujifilm Camera app cannot access SD card via OTG transfer. By the way, I'm using Android phone, not sure iOS works the same way or not.
The burst rate of the X-Pro3 is up to 11fps when using the mechanical shutter and up to 30fps when using the electronic shutter. The burst mode options are accessed from the "Drive" mode button.
I hope fuji reconsiders their direction for the x-pro series. I'd like to switch to fuji but can't: -the ovf on the xpro2 was lovely and my reason for wanting to switch, perfect for the street photography that I do -since I was planning to shoot unstabilized primes, I decided to wait for IBIS in the pro3 -I was also hoping for a tilt screen for low angle shots -was expecting the 10bit 60p on the xt-3 to make it over Even though I AM the target demographic, fuji has screwed this camera beyond recognition -the ovf may be bigger, but it lacks the magnifier that let me use the 50mm, dealbreaker right there -dpad is gone FOR NO REASON, custom buttons are valuable and scarce -the screen can tilt, but can't do high angle shots or work in the normal position. When you need full peripheral vision to time a shot, lcd is still the only option. All benefits of the xpro3 can be had by turning the screen off. This concession gives the tiniest bit for purists, but kills the camera for everyone else. Another dealbreaker. -10bit 60p is gone, even though the sensor and processor are obviously capable. I don't care if it overheats, add it in a firmware update, and nix the record limit. Is a waveform monitor too much to ask? Anyway, seems like Fuji wants to steal Leica customers. Fine. Copy leica then, and make an uncrippled version of this camera as a special edition. I'd love to give Fuji my money, but they don't seem to want it. They should also remember that most of the features the xpro line started out with were for pros, 2 cards, weather sealing, joystick, plenty of buttons. Only a small number will find the xt-3 an acceptable replacement for the pro2.
Will the 9 frame multiple exposure blending feature be added to other Fuji cameras? I’ve been waiting for Fuji to include this. Canon’s mid-top range has had this for years. It makes more sense with the Fuji style.

I have had many Fuji cameras. I currently have a T4, X100V and Pro3. When is Fuji going to come out with a firmware update so we can see the custom film profile name in the Q menu? In fact, when are they going to come out with upgrades to older models with the same sensor and processor? That used to be something Fuji buyers could rely on. What’s going on with Fuji??? I gave my F to my son and recently got the V. For the first time in Fuji history they actually provided a matching hot shoe cover. Great, I thought, they finally get it. I spent FOUR TIMES the money to get the Fuji brand lens hood so I could weather proof it. I did this because I wanted the lens hood to match the camera. IT DOESN’T! What is up with Fuji and silver color. F2 lenses don’t match cameras and now the V hood doesn’t match the camera. Why can’t they settle on one silver color and stick to it? Doesn’t seem to have put Leica out of business. NO ONE buys a camera because of some new shade of silver.
When a manual focus lens is attached there is no autofocus capability. There are a couple of focus assist modes which will help you achieve sharp focus manually.
I shoot both street and landscape no-one is talking about using this camera for landscape !! or travel photos on a tripod...will a L bracket work with the flip screen??? any comments please
When rotating the screen to 90 degrees (level with horizon) there is no issue with the screen on a bracket. At the present time we are not aware of any 3rd party brackets that allow the screen to be rotated 180 degrees.
The X-Pro3 does not feature IBIS, and relies on any lens OIS. If you are looking for IBIS, check out the X-H1, which is the only Fujifilm X Series camera with IBIS.
I assume all the film and monochrome simulations are jpg mode. I have never found jpg only not to work for me. Shooting both jp and raw, I never really refer to the jpg, so I shoot raw without jpg right now.
You are correct that the film simulations affect the .jpg. However, if you use Capture One Express Fujifilm (Free) it will automatically apply the film simulation when importing and viewing the RAF file.
Fuji Guys Channel Do you know if Capture One also applies custom user profiles for the film simulations? For example, if I pick classic chrome and put -2 color in camera, will that show up in the raw as well?
Yes. When importing to C1 you have the option of having camera adjustments automatically enabled, which includes film simulation, and Highlight / Shadow adjustments.
Why tethering feature to PC/Mac only available for X-Tx, X-H, & X-Pro series? Its a fundamental feature for every modern camera. Why Fuji decides to exclude this feature for X-Txx series include X-T30 while other brands like Canon gives this PC/Mac/ tethering feature for every camera from budget camera to high end camera? I bought Fuji X-T30 with plenty of happiness and sold all of my Canon gears. Then i realized that I cant shoot by tethering mode through my laptop especially for previewing the captured pictures instantly on Lightroom. Its so terrible.
Fuji Guys...HELP. I just got an X-Pro3. I've had a couple X100's and a Pro2. I may be one of the ten people that actually use the OVF so my request is statically HUGE. On all the other hybrid viewfinders I've used from Fuji, in the OVF mode the parallax frame lines move to compensate when the shutter is 1/2 pressed and return to the neutral infinity position as soon as the shutter button is released. On the Pro3 I have, The parallax correction moves the framing box but DOES NOT RETURN TO THE NEUTRAL POSITION. This is VERY annoying when recomposing the next image at infinity. If one close focuses and the frame moves to the lower right it remains there even when the camera is turned off and on again. Please tell me this is a firmware glitch Fuji is going to SPEEDILY correct an update for not only me but the other nine users of the OVF. I searched the manual and didn't see any setting I could change. I would very much appreciate a response from you since I call support and they were clueless.
Thanks Thomas. This change could have been the result of previous users preferring to maintain the bright frame at the same focus distance. Having the bright frame remain in the previous framing is useful and reduces time if the next shot is at the same focus distance. The same holds true with having the lens retain the focus rather than returning to infinity after each exposure. A half-press after recomposing will bring the bright frame into the correct position.We will forward your comments along to the Engineers to review.
@@fujiguys Thanks for replying. Sure, "could be." Anything "could be" and yours is a good theory, but not very likely. Have you ever heard someone who uses the OVF complain about this in any RUclips, forum or personal conversation? I don't think so, but good try. Since the frame lines have always gone back to the neutral position after releasing the shutter button from the first X100 and both prior X-Pros, if Fuji wanted to change this they should have at least created the option for those of us who have become used to the prior operation and like it just fine. No excuse not to have. I think this was either just a firmware mistake or some production cost saving. Since it's a programming issue I can't see how it would have been the latter but that's not the issue. Whether the lens returns to infinity IS NOT the issue and I'm not sure how that was handled internally on previous models, but the frame lines should always be at a neutral position for the next composition. It's ridiculous to have to push the shutter release to return the frame lines before composing the next shot. NOT GOOD. The frame lines are not mechanically connected to the frame lines as in Leica M series. Thanks for passing this along to Fuji. I hope they correct it very soon with a firmware update. I am annoyed enough to gin up whatever social media campaign needed if this issue is ignored by Fuji. I ACTUALLY USE THE OVF. Nothing wrong with their admitting it was an oversight as long as they get it fixed. Since so few actually use the OVF I fear they may not think it's important enough. AND I would appreciate a reply from you on this since you are, THE FUJI GUYS.
Fuji Guys Channel I’m not sure it’s “passion” as much as being a bit miffed. To test your theory that it’s something actually asked for as opposed to a mistake, I did some tests. When that last focus was on something close so the parallax corrected frame and focus box was to he bottom right, I then attempted to focus on something at infinity using the position of the focus box as is. I also placed a near subject just to the right but in the middle of the frame where the focus box would be at infinity. Even thought I had the distant subject in the focus box which was to the bottom right from the last shot, the camera focused on the nearer image to the right where the focus box SHOULD HAVE been. So the actual focus point does reset to infinity but the frame lines and focus box do not. This is not a feature, this is a problem that needs to be fixed.
When you have a lens that is wider angle than 23mm, you will see arrows in the corners of the OVF to indicate the image will include area outside what you are seeing. To confirm previewing the image, quickly switch to EVF, then you can switch back to OVF.
The EVF will show 100% of the image. The OVF will show the same view as it always does, but there is no bright frame guidelines. For a better feel is would be best for you to check it out in your local store, once it arrives, later this month.
Sorry, but we do not understand your question. If you are asking at what size print can you print and maintain at least 235 DPI, based on the original image dimensions, you can produce a print up to 26.5" x 17.7". Otherwise, please elaborate on your question. Thanks.
Thirty (30) times more sensitive than the X-Pro2, apparently. IMG RES has a good summary: "Autofocus has significantly improved, however. The X-Pro3's hybrid AF system is inherited from the X-T3 with up to 425 addressable AF points versus 273 for its predecessor, and the X-Pro3's phase detection autofocus is rated to work to as low as -6 EV, whereas the X-Pro2 was rated down to only -1 EV. And while the X-Pro2 offered face detection, the new model supplements this with eye-detection as well, for more pleasing focus in portrait shooting with wide-aperture lenses. There's also a new in-camera AF range limiter function offering two preset options." www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/fuji-x-pro3/fuji-x-pro3A.HTM
Many people like to pair their X-Pro camera with one of the compact primes (XF16mmf2.8, XF23mmF2, XF35mmF2 or XF50mmF2). All of which are weather sealed, just like the X-Pro3
First off, everyone should get the pancake XF27mmF2.8 and the cheerful zoom XC50-230mmF/slow during Cashback season, as they can be very cheap, and provide portability and range for a very low cost. After that, I'd suggest a bright prime, like the XF35mmF1.4, the XF23mmF1.4, or the XF50mmF2. Then an exotic piece, like the XF14mmF2.8 or XF90mmF2
My favorite lenses with the X-Pro2 are: 1. Voigtländer Color Skopar 21mm f/4 VM 2. XF 16mm f/1.4 WR 3. XF 35mm f/1.4 R 4. Leica 50mm Summicron M Due to a built-in defect in the finder, only two out of these four function properly with the X-Pro3: The 21mm Color Skopar and the XF 35mm f/1.4 R. Since every owner of an X-Pro camera should also own the Color Skopar, I suggest you get this rather inexpensive lens, along with the genuine Fujifilm M-Mount Adapter. Cheers
@@adrianguggisberg3656 The new f/3.5 version of that Color-Skopar is on my shortlist - is the old version ok in terms of smearing, colour-cast etc? If so, I'd be getting that far sooner. Having started with Voigtlaender on a NEX, I never looked back at Sony, and love Fujinon, but never use focus-by-wire manual focus - I'd love to see Fuji release some true manual glass without AF. P.S. Gordon Laing just released a review of the X-Pro3, and shows a comparison between the OVFs - the magnification is considerably larger on the new OVF, so although it's not as wide, the assumption that the frame would be smaller don't really hold true.
@@fellowcitizen The Color Skopar 21mm f/4 VM is a "film lens" and not suited for everyone. As far as I know it doesn't work well on Sony 35mm cameras. It works great on my M4 and M9, but with these cameras 21mm is too wide for my taste. 21mm is a great focal length with the X-Pro2 and the Lens works fairly well with this camera in terms of IQ. Edges and corners are rather soft, but no colour problems. It is a small lens with perfect focus and aperture controls. Great for reportage style photography and for that reason the perfect lens for the X-Pro. Nothing beats an XP2 with this lens in terms of shooting speed. It is, however, not a lens for the faint-hearted pixel counter. The XP3 has only one magnification, XP2 has two, one larger, the other smaller than that of the XP3. The XP3 tries to compensate this with a bigger finder, but fails miserably, unless you only shoot 23 through 35mm lenses. The Leica finder is bigger still, with higher magnification, and allows for 28-35-50-75-90-135mm bright lines, of which 28 through 75mm are practical (even though I have never owned, used or met anybody who did use a 75mm lens in 30 years of shooting Leica). The XP2 with its two magnifications displays bright lines for 18 through 135mm, of which 18 through 60mm are practical. While you need to squeeze your eyeball into the eyepiece of a Leica to use a 28mm lens, the equivalent 18mm is very comfortably usable with the XP2. The XP3 can't display bright lines for this FOV and has many other shortcomings compared to the XP2, but it does have an EVF, works with zoom lenses, does autofocus etc. So, while the XP2 remains the pinnacle of renge finder development, the XP3 is still ahead of the Leica overall, with an at least equally usable OVF.
"all about the dials, gives you a feeling of getting into photograph" or some crap. On my XE-1, the dials feel ok, but nothing great like the all metal Zeiss EF mount 85/1.4. And the non-mechanical aperture/focus rings on the 35/1.4 or 18/2 Fuji X-mount just feels crap/cheap.
It's no secret there was a change to the design and operation of the OVF. This first look video showcases many of the features that we feel photographers are wanting to hear about. There are other review sites that offer their own opinion.
Fuji Guys Channel “it’s no secret?” Funny you say that, because none of the Fuji sponsored reviewers are mentioning it. Almost as if you were told not to, or you don’t want people to know... This camera’s shining feature has been the hybrid OVF. You don’t think it’s important to let people know that the OVF has now been greatly compromised, that it’s now fixed at 0.52x and what that means to users of wide angle lenses? To anyone who uses and relies on the OVF, it’s a big deal.
@@speedwolf5212 The first thing I heard was that the OVF had been advanced. www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/fuji-x-pro3/fuji-x-pro3A.HTM IMG-RES has a good summary: "In a single unit it still combines a reverse-galilean optical finder with electronic bright frame for parallax correction, and an electronic viewfinder, but there are significant changes to both. The optical finder is now more accurate than before, being manufacturer-rated at 95% coverage, rather than 92%, and it should also be both crisper and have less distortion, but with wider coverage. Magnification is now fixed at 0.52x, unlike the variable 0.36x / 0.60x magnification of the earlier OVF."
So any time you take photo you have to put the screen down to see it .sorry fuji I think that not good idea 💡 .. if we in 1989 it is ok 👌 but not in 2019
I find it brilliant. I started with the X-Pro1, yet skipped the X-Pro2 primarily due to the lack of tilt. This, along with my preference for durability and a protected screen option makes this a very desirable mechanism, and a far more versatile and capable camera.
Ну, x-pro3 найдёт своего бородатого покупателя. Фотоаппараты, это же как тачки. Кто хочет выделяться - купит. Тема, что "это прежде всего фотоаппарат", попрежнему актуальна для фуджифильм. Но я бы, конечно, пусть удорожил, но сделал поворотный экран. И экранчик с плёнкой, пожалуйста, оставляйте. Но нет. Без сложностей, наверно, низя
xpro2 was nice - and yes what a disappointment - that LCD is silly. - Simply silly - so all to please some few Fuji Purists - so Xpro4 will have no Fn buttons only Manual Focus no Touch LCD - Pure Photography ??? what does that mean ??? yes many use EVF and that is fine - but how many review images in EVF?? No DPAD so loosing 4Fn buttons - as who os is going to have LCD open when shooting via EVF - why in the world did Fuji not just leave the LCD as is ??? Hidden LCD :). what is next Hidden buttons and dials - what about overhead shots - Impossible ! what about shooting on Tripod ??? I really think it will be a flop in sales compared to the Xpro 2. - again what is this Pure Photography ?? so those using XT3 are not doing Pure Photography - dread to see the XT4 - with this hideous LCD layout with No DPAD and probable no Fn buttons etc etc LCD makes it stupid to try to record video - so why even bother with video - Purists are not into video - so I have a feeling video will be removed Slows me down :). removing Auto Focus will slow one down even more - so will that be a feature of the XPro4 - of course you Fuji guys have to sell it - I am not criticizing you - always fun to watch you guys - keep up the good work - My criticism is towards Fuji - Folks today use smartphones with LCDs - they want to have nice LCDs - therefore Nikon and others are making larger LCDs and better touch - except Fuji they are trying to remove the LCD - and yes I will hear ohh it is just the XPRO 3 - but it is a mighty costly camera to develop for just few Fuji Purists that only like EVF - I am not upgrading from the XPRO2 - not sure Fuji did enough market research on this - it is like making a smartphone without a LCD because there are few purists that do not like smartphones with a LCD
Very disappointing engineering choices by Fujifilm regarding the screen, the absence of the D-PAd etc. It may be covered by lots of hipster story-setting but these choices make no sense. If you do not want to use your screen, switch it off. Why should it be this abomination that is difficult to use when needed, unsuitable for using it on a tripod etc? What's wrong with easily setting your focus point by using a D-Pad? Does it detract the shooter from the finer parts of photography? I hardly think so.

i wish X100 series have this design ! I love it ! Love Fuji
Camera looks great and a really good video showing the new features 👍🏻
Thanks for your feedback.
4:05 this is new to me. Is there any instruction on how this is works? I tried it on my X-T2, can't get it done.
Never mind, I have figured out. This is a great feature
@@chinseng85 can you tell me? I've never tried this either
@@Ambuehlance Yes, it works. But while you transfer via USB OTG, you have to use the file manager app to access the SD card files. The Fujifilm Camera app cannot access SD card via OTG transfer. By the way, I'm using Android phone, not sure iOS works the same way or not.
Are these new features which are now being introduced in the Xpro 3 be available through firmware update on the XT3 also?
Shaz BK Thanks for asking, but we are not able comment.
Thank you!
Most likely yes, Fuji is pretty famous for being generous with firmware. But can’t guarantee it obviously.
Appreciate the information, thanks!
Not sure if anyone will check this but if I leave the battery in and turn the camera off, will the smaller screen be off too?
The LCD panel on the back of the camera will remain on. It draws very little power and will not impact battery life.
Just curious. What is the frames per second on this camera. And if there is how do you shoot multiple images?
The burst rate of the X-Pro3 is up to 11fps when using the mechanical shutter and up to 30fps when using the electronic shutter.
The burst mode options are accessed from the "Drive" mode button.
4:53 what lens was it? I cannot recognize it!
I hope fuji reconsiders their direction for the x-pro series. I'd like to switch to fuji but can't:
-the ovf on the xpro2 was lovely and my reason for wanting to switch, perfect for the street photography that I do
-since I was planning to shoot unstabilized primes, I decided to wait for IBIS in the pro3
-I was also hoping for a tilt screen for low angle shots
-was expecting the 10bit 60p on the xt-3 to make it over
Even though I AM the target demographic, fuji has screwed this camera beyond recognition
-the ovf may be bigger, but it lacks the magnifier that let me use the 50mm, dealbreaker right there
-dpad is gone FOR NO REASON, custom buttons are valuable and scarce
-the screen can tilt, but can't do high angle shots or work in the normal position. When you need full peripheral vision to time a shot, lcd is still the only option. All benefits of the xpro3 can be had by turning the screen off. This concession gives the tiniest bit for purists, but kills the camera for everyone else. Another dealbreaker.
-10bit 60p is gone, even though the sensor and processor are obviously capable. I don't care if it overheats, add it in a firmware update, and nix the record limit. Is a waveform monitor too much to ask?
Anyway, seems like Fuji wants to steal Leica customers. Fine. Copy leica then, and make an uncrippled version of this camera as a special edition. I'd love to give Fuji my money, but they don't seem to want it. They should also remember that most of the features the xpro line started out with were for pros, 2 cards, weather sealing, joystick, plenty of buttons. Only a small number will find the xt-3 an acceptable replacement for the pro2.
Thank-you for your comments and feedback. We appreciate your taking the time to give us your feelings on this.
Will the 9 frame multiple exposure blending feature be added to other Fuji cameras?
I’ve been waiting for Fuji to include this. Canon’s mid-top range has had this for years. It makes more sense with the Fuji style.

Why Cameras don't have Apps like phones?
8:09 exif data for manual lenses is huge
Agreed. This is a very cool feature that I'm afraid the minority will use. But that minority will love that feature and enjoy their vintage glass. :)

I have had many Fuji cameras. I currently have a T4, X100V and Pro3. When is Fuji going to come out with a firmware update so we can see the custom film profile name in the Q menu? In fact, when are they going to come out with upgrades to older models with the same sensor and processor? That used to be something Fuji buyers could rely on. What’s going on with Fuji???
I gave my F to my son and recently got the V. For the first time in Fuji history they actually provided a matching hot shoe cover. Great, I thought, they finally get it. I spent FOUR TIMES the money to get the Fuji brand lens hood so I could weather proof it. I did this because I wanted the lens hood to match the camera. IT DOESN’T! What is up with Fuji and silver color. F2 lenses don’t match cameras and now the V hood doesn’t match the camera. Why can’t they settle on one silver color and stick to it? Doesn’t seem to have put Leica out of business. NO ONE buys a camera because of some new shade of silver.
Thank you for the feedback Thomas
HDR coming to xt3 via firmware? This would make some RE Fuji photographers very happy.
Chrono Trigger We are not able to comment or respond to your question.
I love it!!
Can anyone help me? With manual lens (whoch is X mount) does autofocus work?
When a manual focus lens is attached there is no autofocus capability. There are a couple of focus assist modes which will help you achieve sharp focus manually.
@@fujiguys thank you very much!
I shoot both street and landscape no-one is talking about using this camera for landscape !! or travel photos on a tripod...will a L bracket work with the flip screen??? any comments please
I do not think it will be easy to use on any tripod - Purists don't like LCDs
When rotating the screen to 90 degrees (level with horizon) there is no issue with the screen on a bracket. At the present time we are not aware of any 3rd party brackets that allow the screen to be rotated 180 degrees.
Is it comes with-> In Body Image Stabilization (IBSI) already?
The X-Pro3 does not feature IBIS, and relies on any lens OIS.
If you are looking for IBIS, check out the X-H1, which is the only Fujifilm X Series camera with IBIS.
@@dimazanya2568 As a troll, I give you 1/10
I assume all the film and monochrome simulations are jpg mode. I have never found jpg only not to work for me. Shooting both jp and raw, I never really refer to the jpg, so I shoot raw without jpg right now.
You are correct that the film simulations affect the .jpg. However, if you use Capture One Express Fujifilm (Free) it will automatically apply the film simulation when importing and viewing the RAF file.
Fuji Guys Channel Do you know if Capture One also applies custom user profiles for the film simulations? For example, if I pick classic chrome and put -2 color in camera, will that show up in the raw as well?
Yes. When importing to C1 you have the option of having camera adjustments automatically enabled, which includes film simulation, and Highlight / Shadow adjustments.
Fuji Guys Channel Really useful info guys, thank you.
Great! Thanks a lot
Can we lose the lounge music?
Why tethering feature to PC/Mac only available for X-Tx, X-H, & X-Pro series? Its a fundamental feature for every modern camera. Why Fuji decides to exclude this feature for X-Txx series include X-T30 while other brands like Canon gives this PC/Mac/ tethering feature for every camera from budget camera to high end camera?
I bought Fuji X-T30 with plenty of happiness and sold all of my Canon gears. Then i realized that I cant shoot by tethering mode through my laptop especially for previewing the captured pictures instantly on Lightroom. Its so terrible.
Thank-you for taking the time to provide your feedback.
Beautiful camera!
great review!
Thanks!
Fuji Guys...HELP. I just got an X-Pro3. I've had a couple X100's and a Pro2. I may be one of the ten people that actually use the OVF so my request is statically HUGE. On all the other hybrid viewfinders I've used from Fuji, in the OVF mode the parallax frame lines move to compensate when the shutter is 1/2 pressed and return to the neutral infinity position as soon as the shutter button is released. On the Pro3 I have, The parallax correction moves the framing box but DOES NOT RETURN TO THE NEUTRAL POSITION. This is VERY annoying when recomposing the next image at infinity. If one close focuses and the frame moves to the lower right it remains there even when the camera is turned off and on again. Please tell me this is a firmware glitch Fuji is going to SPEEDILY correct an update for not only me but the other nine users of the OVF. I searched the manual and didn't see any setting I could change. I would very much appreciate a response from you since I call support and they were clueless.
Thanks Thomas. This change could have been the result of previous users preferring to maintain the bright frame at the same focus distance. Having the bright frame remain in the previous framing is useful and reduces time if the next shot is at the same focus distance. The same holds true with having the lens retain the focus rather than returning to infinity after each exposure.
A half-press after recomposing will bring the bright frame into the correct position.We will forward your comments along to the Engineers to review.
@@fujiguys Thanks for replying. Sure, "could be." Anything "could be" and yours is a good theory, but not very likely. Have you ever heard someone who uses the OVF complain about this in any RUclips, forum or personal conversation? I don't think so, but good try.
Since the frame lines have always gone back to the neutral position after releasing the shutter button from the first X100 and both prior X-Pros, if Fuji wanted to change this they should have at least created the option for those of us who have become used to the prior operation and like it just fine. No excuse not to have.
I think this was either just a firmware mistake or some production cost saving. Since it's a programming issue I can't see how it would have been the latter but that's not the issue. Whether the lens returns to infinity IS NOT the issue and I'm not sure how that was handled internally on previous models, but the frame lines should always be at a neutral position for the next composition. It's ridiculous to have to push the shutter release to return the frame lines before composing the next shot. NOT GOOD. The frame lines are not mechanically connected to the frame lines as in Leica M series.
Thanks for passing this along to Fuji. I hope they correct it very soon with a firmware update. I am annoyed enough to gin up whatever social media campaign needed if this issue is ignored by Fuji. I ACTUALLY USE THE OVF. Nothing wrong with their admitting it was an oversight as long as they get it fixed. Since so few actually use the OVF I fear they may not think it's important enough. AND I would appreciate a reply from you on this since you are, THE FUJI GUYS.
Thank-you for your comments. We appreciate your passion and taking the time to provide your feedback.
Fuji Guys Channel I’m not sure it’s “passion” as much as being a bit miffed. To test your theory that it’s something actually asked for as opposed to a mistake, I did some tests. When that last focus was on something close so the parallax corrected frame and focus box was to he bottom right, I then attempted to focus on something at infinity using the position of the focus box as is. I also placed a near subject just to the right but in the middle of the frame where the focus box would be at infinity. Even thought I had the distant subject in the focus box which was to the bottom right from the last shot, the camera focused on the nearer image to the right where the focus box SHOULD HAVE been. So the actual focus point does reset to infinity but the frame lines and focus box do not. This is not a feature, this is a problem that needs to be fixed.
I would very much like some feedback from you since you do represent Fuji.
How is it going to work with ovf and 16mm lens?
When you have a lens that is wider angle than 23mm, you will see arrows in the corners of the OVF to indicate the image will include area outside what you are seeing. To confirm previewing the image, quickly switch to EVF, then you can switch back to OVF.
Fuji Guys Channel
Do you have example to view?
OVF and EVF of 16mm lens
The EVF will show 100% of the image. The OVF will show the same view as it always does, but there is no bright frame guidelines. For a better feel is would be best for you to check it out in your local store, once it arrives, later this month.
Big, bit, BIG sweet. Amazing fuji
great video,
Thank-you for your feedback Stephen. We appreciate it.
Fujifilm a235 dpi ? Please
Sorry, but we do not understand your question. If you are asking at what size print can you print and maintain at least 235 DPI, based on the original image dimensions, you can produce a print up to 26.5" x 17.7". Otherwise, please elaborate on your question. Thanks.
still cant decide what color to get ugh
Tough choice… ;-)
Did you shoot anything in low light? What did you think? and what's the Auto Focus light in low light?
Francis had a chance to work with it in lower light and found it very fast, responsive and accurate.
Thirty (30) times more sensitive than the X-Pro2, apparently.
IMG RES has a good summary: "Autofocus has significantly improved, however. The X-Pro3's hybrid AF system is inherited from the X-T3 with up to 425 addressable AF points versus 273 for its predecessor, and the X-Pro3's phase detection autofocus is rated to work to as low as -6 EV, whereas the X-Pro2 was rated down to only -1 EV. And while the X-Pro2 offered face detection, the new model supplements this with eye-detection as well, for more pleasing focus in portrait shooting with wide-aperture lenses. There's also a new in-camera AF range limiter function offering two preset options."
www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/fuji-x-pro3/fuji-x-pro3A.HTM
Can one send shots directly to Instagram from this camera?
Not directly. However, you can configure the X-Pro3 to automatically transfer images to your smartphone. From there you can upload to Instagram.
@@fujiguys I think that'd good enough, thanks for getting back.
Suggestions for good lens to go with x pro 3
Many people like to pair their X-Pro camera with one of the compact primes (XF16mmf2.8, XF23mmF2, XF35mmF2 or XF50mmF2). All of which are weather sealed, just like the X-Pro3
First off, everyone should get the pancake XF27mmF2.8 and the cheerful zoom XC50-230mmF/slow during Cashback season, as they can be very cheap, and provide portability and range for a very low cost.
After that, I'd suggest a bright prime, like the XF35mmF1.4, the XF23mmF1.4, or the XF50mmF2. Then an exotic piece, like the XF14mmF2.8 or XF90mmF2
My favorite lenses with the X-Pro2 are:
1. Voigtländer Color Skopar 21mm f/4 VM
2. XF 16mm f/1.4 WR
3. XF 35mm f/1.4 R
4. Leica 50mm Summicron M
Due to a built-in defect in the finder, only two out of these four function properly with the X-Pro3: The 21mm Color Skopar and the XF 35mm f/1.4 R. Since every owner of an X-Pro camera should also own the Color Skopar, I suggest you get this rather inexpensive lens, along with the genuine Fujifilm M-Mount Adapter.
Cheers
@@adrianguggisberg3656 The new f/3.5 version of that Color-Skopar is on my shortlist - is the old version ok in terms of smearing, colour-cast etc? If so, I'd be getting that far sooner. Having started with Voigtlaender on a NEX, I never looked back at Sony, and love Fujinon, but never use focus-by-wire manual focus - I'd love to see Fuji release some true manual glass without AF.
P.S. Gordon Laing just released a review of the X-Pro3, and shows a comparison between the OVFs - the magnification is considerably larger on the new OVF, so although it's not as wide, the assumption that the frame would be smaller don't really hold true.
@@fellowcitizen The Color Skopar 21mm f/4 VM is a "film lens" and not suited for everyone. As far as I know it doesn't work well on Sony 35mm cameras. It works great on my M4 and M9, but with these cameras 21mm is too wide for my taste. 21mm is a great focal length with the X-Pro2 and the Lens works fairly well with this camera in terms of IQ. Edges and corners are rather soft, but no colour problems. It is a small lens with perfect focus and aperture controls. Great for reportage style photography and for that reason the perfect lens for the X-Pro. Nothing beats an XP2 with this lens in terms of shooting speed. It is, however, not a lens for the faint-hearted pixel counter.
The XP3 has only one magnification, XP2 has two, one larger, the other smaller than that of the XP3. The XP3 tries to compensate this with a bigger finder, but fails miserably, unless you only shoot 23 through 35mm lenses. The Leica finder is bigger still, with higher magnification, and allows for 28-35-50-75-90-135mm bright lines, of which 28 through 75mm are practical (even though I have never owned, used or met anybody who did use a 75mm lens in 30 years of shooting Leica). The XP2 with its two magnifications displays bright lines for 18 through 135mm, of which 18 through 60mm are practical. While you need to squeeze your eyeball into the eyepiece of a Leica to use a 28mm lens, the equivalent 18mm is very comfortably usable with the XP2. The XP3 can't display bright lines for this FOV and has many other shortcomings compared to the XP2, but it does have an EVF, works with zoom lenses, does autofocus etc. So, while the XP2 remains the pinnacle of renge finder development, the XP3 is still ahead of the Leica overall, with an at least equally usable OVF.
geez...the "we're the fuji guys" intro was so uncomfortable
Yep: that was forced.
X-pro 3 come in indonesia pleaseee
yesssss
secepatnya deh
biar xpro2 kena promo dan saya bisa beli haha
The concept of the x-pro3 is about what? I don get the word he says
"all about the dials, gives you a feeling of getting into photograph" or some crap. On my XE-1, the dials feel ok, but nothing great like the all metal Zeiss EF mount 85/1.4. And the non-mechanical aperture/focus rings on the 35/1.4 or 18/2 Fuji X-mount just feels crap/cheap.
Huhu i want
Nice, 7:57 Color Skopar 21 f4
Voigtlaender just re-designed this lens to play well with sensors. &It's now F/3.5
@@fellowcitizen Thank you for the helpful feedback 👍
Why aren’t you guys telling the truth about what they did to the OVF?
You left out a MAJOR change...
It's no secret there was a change to the design and operation of the OVF. This first look video showcases many of the features that we feel photographers are wanting to hear about. There are other review sites that offer their own opinion.
Fuji Guys Channel “it’s no secret?” Funny you say that, because none of the Fuji sponsored reviewers are mentioning it. Almost as if you were told not to, or you don’t want people to know...
This camera’s shining feature has been the hybrid OVF.
You don’t think it’s important to let people know that the OVF has now been greatly compromised, that it’s now fixed at 0.52x and what that means to users of wide angle lenses?
To anyone who uses and relies on the OVF, it’s a big deal.
Thank you for taking the time to comment with your feedback.
@@speedwolf5212 The first thing I heard was that the OVF had been advanced.
www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/fuji-x-pro3/fuji-x-pro3A.HTM IMG-RES has a good summary:
"In a single unit it still combines a reverse-galilean optical finder with electronic bright frame for parallax correction, and an electronic viewfinder, but there are significant changes to both. The optical finder is now more accurate than before, being manufacturer-rated at 95% coverage, rather than 92%, and it should also be both crisper and have less distortion, but with wider coverage. Magnification is now fixed at 0.52x, unlike the variable 0.36x / 0.60x magnification of the earlier OVF."
Nice :)
So any time you take photo you have to put the screen down to see it .sorry fuji I think that not good idea 💡 .. if we in 1989 it is ok 👌 but not in 2019
The reason it is like this on this particular camera is because it's the other way on just about every other camera.
You can view and review your image on the EVF so you don’t have to flip the screen down each time.
I find it brilliant. I started with the X-Pro1, yet skipped the X-Pro2 primarily due to the lack of tilt. This, along with my preference for durability and a protected screen option makes this a very desirable mechanism, and a far more versatile and capable camera.
😍😍😍😍

Ну, x-pro3 найдёт своего бородатого покупателя.
Фотоаппараты, это же как тачки. Кто хочет выделяться - купит.
Тема, что "это прежде всего фотоаппарат", попрежнему актуальна для фуджифильм.
Но я бы, конечно, пусть удорожил, но сделал поворотный экран. И экранчик с плёнкой, пожалуйста, оставляйте. Но нет. Без сложностей, наверно, низя
Oh!!! This likes a Fujifilm advertise,man!!! Everything good??? Really? With nonsense screen? Shut up Fuji officers.
xpro2 was nice - and yes what a disappointment - that LCD is silly. - Simply silly - so all to please some few Fuji Purists - so Xpro4 will have no Fn buttons only Manual Focus no Touch LCD - Pure Photography ??? what does that mean ??? yes many use EVF and that is fine - but how many review images in EVF??
No DPAD so loosing 4Fn buttons - as who os is going to have LCD open when shooting via EVF - why in the world did Fuji not just leave the LCD as is ???
Hidden LCD :). what is next Hidden buttons and dials - what about overhead shots - Impossible ! what about shooting on Tripod ???
I really think it will be a flop in sales compared to the Xpro 2. - again what is this Pure Photography ?? so those using XT3 are not doing Pure Photography -
dread to see the XT4 - with this hideous LCD layout with No DPAD and probable no Fn buttons etc etc
LCD makes it stupid to try to record video - so why even bother with video - Purists are not into video - so I have a feeling video will be removed
Slows me down :). removing Auto Focus will slow one down even more - so will that be a feature of the XPro4 - of course you Fuji guys have to sell it - I am not criticizing you - always fun to watch you guys - keep up the good work - My criticism is towards Fuji - Folks today use smartphones with LCDs - they want to have nice LCDs - therefore Nikon and others are making larger LCDs and better touch - except Fuji they are trying to remove the LCD - and yes I will hear ohh it is just the XPRO 3 - but it is a mighty costly camera to develop for just few Fuji Purists that only like EVF -
I am not upgrading from the XPRO2 - not sure Fuji did enough market research on this - it is like making a smartphone without a LCD because there are few purists that do not like smartphones with a LCD
Thank-you for taking the time to provide your comments and feedback.
Very disappointing engineering choices by Fujifilm regarding the screen, the absence of the D-PAd etc. It may be covered by lots of hipster story-setting but these choices make no sense. If you do not want to use your screen, switch it off. Why should it be this abomination that is difficult to use when needed, unsuitable for using it on a tripod etc? What's wrong with easily setting your focus point by using a D-Pad? Does it detract the shooter from the finer parts of photography? I hardly think so.
Thank-you for taking the time to give us your feedback.
I would maybe pay $300 max for this camera..... XT-2 new on amazon for $700, XT-3 for $1200...
