THANK YOU!! literally just the videos I was looking for before pulling the trigger on the on xm5. you're even doing the vlog style that I want to try. from what i gather from your tests so far, Fujifilm haven't quite ironed out their AF and MF is the way to go for vlogging, thus not beginner friendly? Also, have you had an opportunity to test aperture priority mode? more or less hunting?
I think it’s ok for vlogging. The autofocus is sharp. It’s the hunting of the aperture in shutter priority mode that’s annoying. Which is the way I like to shoot video to keep the 180 degree rule. I’d like ISO to compensate for exposure first before aperture spoils the bokeh. I’m going to reset the camera and try vlogging as it comes straight out of the box except for saving the file in Flog2 colour.
Thanks for the video, camera keeps hunting.. is it the lens? I was hoping this would be a good camera within my budget. I now guessing all the cameras from fuji are like this.
So far I’ve not got it to overheat. However I only tested it for a short time (15mins) at 6.2k with no issues. No doubt other RUclipsrs (Gerald Undone) will do that. I shoot at 1080p to be honest.
The XC35mm F2 is a terrible lens for AF. Its tack sharp, but not a video lens at all. I've had no issues at all for the AF, using the Tamron 11-20mm F2.8. The digital stabilisation is not great, but digital stabilisation is always poor on large format cameras. I'd use a gimbal! Product placement mode only works in the VLOG setting, it would be nice if it worked in all modes.
Great great video. You have a new subscriber. I'm struggling with the focus of this camera and it seems you find the trick. ruclips.net/video/4HFSeVC3W18/видео.htmlsi=Ukx2AOVLiIYgSrdt&t=636 Can you show us the exact settings you use (a video of the screen setting.) When I use the manual mode (I think) I have square dancing everywhere, so I can tell if my picture is in focus. Thank you.
I just put the PASM dial into ‘M’ manual. Shutter at double the frame rate (1/48 in my case for 23.97 fps) and let auto ISO do its thing. Auto for the autofocus. Autofocus is set to locked on 3 and speed 0. Ed
@MyContrails M on the duial. For video. I think I'm doing something wrong. Because I can't film when I put the dial on M. I'm in 6k, Vlog2 . I'm shooting for a restaurant and on the screen of the camera it's seems ok but when I saw my footages. OMG, the image hunting and sometimes Lost the focus with no reason. It's a little bit stressful
Now, this is a real and useful review. Of a camera, that’s actually SHOT on the camera that has been reviewed! ☝️
Thank you. That’s what I always want to see in a review myself. I don’t know why others don’t try it themselves. Cheers. Ed
@ It’s so easy to be lame! Requires no effort 🤨😊
Awesome post!
Great video..
To be honest, I hate the grippp. So a no go for me.
Thanks for your review

How did you do to have this beautiful bokeh ?
Just opened the aperture wide and compensated for the the over exposure using a variable ND filter. Ed
@@MyContrails thanks :) but what is your photo lens model ?
It’s just the 15-45mm kit lens
It surely won''t hunt the aperture if it's in Aperture Priority mode?
Correct. That’s what I expected and found. 😁

Does it on both Fuji lenses that I’ve tested.
Is this recorded in 4K 60? Have you gotten it to overheat? Do you think I could use it for filming a concert or doing a short film?

I have the issues with the XC 15-45mm kit lens as well. I thought you could switch PP mode on in any mode? Thanks for the info. I’ll check it out. Ed

No. Keep the dial at the movie camera, hit the ‘Q’ button and chance the top left icon to the ‘M’ manual mode of shooting.
@@MyContrails Ho... Thank you. More easy in this way.
