what a useful video ever seen on youtube, I really thank You for this video, I watched the video and the camera in my hand step by step I learned much and more with it. Can't say more. THANK YOU
A big thanks. I watched your vid a few weeks ago when I was demo an x100F and now watched again to set up my XE-3. Love to learn more from a master like you. Well done.
People are still leaving comments after two years which is an indication how useful this video is. For me, it may be the one video I have seen that convinces me to upgrade from X100s to x100F. I see lots of improvements in the controls and functions. None of the gear reviews I have seen was this useful. I use the x100s for travel and small events. I also do several large events during the year for non profits as a volunteer (similar to wedding receptions but with less dancing and more stage performers) but have not found the x100s to be very effective.
Many, many thanks for this video. I love the way you go through things as they occur on the camera's menu. I will try out your settings and see which ones I like and which ones I will adapt. What a clear, logical explanation of how your choices alter the finished image. I will watch, watch and re-watch this video as there is so much to take in and absorb. Thank you!
Thank you very much for this information! I just ordered my X-100F and it is my first sophisticated digital camera. I started shooting B&W film in my teens and also had a darkroom. I had a Pentax H3V SLR with no light meter. I learned to judge the correct exposure myself and learned a lot. I miss those days.
Finally a walkthrough from an actual Pro. Loved that you thrower your own work in there, makes it easier to know you actually know what you're talking about.nFantastic video, a sure like from me.
thanks so much for doing this Mr Mullins. it's always great when the people many of us admire share thier "secret sauce" of experimentation if you will. much appreciated sir.
Hi Kevin. I am a street enthusiast and I follow your RUclips and F16 channels because there is a lot of interesting news. I recently upgraded from my x100t to the x100f and I thank you for the exhaustive explanations, but unfortunately in this coronavirus period we are forced to stay indoors and cannot fully exploit my new camera. Greetings from Lecce, Southern Italy.
Every time I pick up my X100F somehow I inadvertently change a setting or two, time goes by and the moment is lost, along with enthusiasm. So watching this video has made my camera more usable, and hopefully saved it from being chopped in for something less good. Thank you.
Thx Kevin... just bought my first Fuji.... RUclips, always a feast of fabulous info. 20 minutes spent with you and I feel pretty ready to use. What a stunning camera. Better than I even imagined 😁👊🏽
This was a life saver, thank you. Rented an X100F (kinda wish I'd just bought it now...) for a couple weeks vacation (still own my original X100), and for the life of me couldn't remember how to make it back button focus. Not sure I'll keep all your settings, but it's a great starting point, THANK YOU!
This is excellent thank you. Just got an X100V and a bit overwhelmed, I'll watch this again when I have more time. Subscribed. Your B&W shots are mindblowing!
I’ve just got the x70 and I still found this information very useful. Also I’ve seen that it was you that wrote the book about the x100s. I bought it when I had the x30 about nine years ago 😅
Thank you for sharing your settings. I love the mood you always seem to create. I haven't seen any videos that show these style of photography; and I have been a photographer for over 5 years watching tons of youtube videos. I hope to someday attend one of your workshops.
Thanks for this outstanding added value. Still looking for settings with her little niece, the X-30 and looking forward to date her aunt, this gorgeous X 100F. Regards from Argentina.
excellent video! Thank you. Just picked up this camera today. Taking it for a test run in the morning. First digital camera in a long time. I'm mainly a Rollei shooter, but I'm excited to pair with the X100F.
Hey Kevin - thanks for this video. I've used it before in the past but just got my X100F back from the shop. Of course all of my settings were returned to factory default... Your video really helped.
Great video Mr Mullins. I found it very useful. I just bought my X100F and every time I go out and shoot I am amazed by the Acros Film Simulation mode as well as the Classic Chrome for certain scenes. Your tips for highlights/shadows adjustment in the camera for the Acros are great. Thank you!
I find your pictures attractive. That is seldom the case with reviewers. :) The technical information is also top-notch. Thank you thank you thank you.
I bet you love it by now. I bought one when they debuted, and a mint-condition used one a couple of months ago since Fuji doesn’t seem like they’ll ever improve on that particular camera, and I never want to not own one. Today I received a used X100F in the mail, which I’ve wanted for a long time. But I doubt I’ll ever leave the house without that X70 in my bag. Enjoy it. It’s a magical little camera.
Kevin, thanks for a great video on settings. Like you I have several SLR's, but the Fuji 100F together with a new Ricoh GR3 seem to have refired my enthusiasm for this life long hobby. Keep making the videos!
Great review on your website. I appreciate your time and effort into this! I have the X100S now - not sure if it's worth the upgrade yet. But your review, video and all your feedback has been great - and of course your photos!
Thank you for sharing this mr Mullins. Sure gonna try it out. I have been experimenting till now, and it has been hit and miss. I'm gonna give these settings a go. Deep bow.
Thanks Kevin , that's very helpful-I've been struggling with some of the Menu settings but I'm pleased to see I've got quite a few that are the same as yours - others your suggestions make sense to me so I'll be doing a rehash. Sorry but I really don't understand is Back Button Focus, I've never used it - could do with a Video about that . I love the ACROS and no doubt it's better than the Velvla /SEP 2 conversions which I previously used ( I showed you a misty canal shot when I saw you in London ) I've now subscribed to your channel so look forward to more helpful videos .
I, too, would love a video related to BBF. I focus & recompose, but I find that in dark situations where people are moving (dancing or nightlife type stuff) it doesn't work well and the camera (x100t) is too slow to focus. Not sure if focus lock would help in that scenario esp if subject is moving distance from me. Thanks
Hi Kevin. Have you taken a look at Rocky Nook as a publisher? I really enjoy the books that Rico Pfirstinger puts out on that platform, and I would hate it if we, your audience, never got to read another book by you. Keep up the great work, mate.
Good evening Kevin. You mentioned you use spot metering 80% of the time. What other modes do you use and when? Like when shooting from the hip for instance.
Hi Kevin, just got an X100f, equally, just found this tutorial, 7 years old, I write this in hope your still there, I'm struggling to get a good exposure between beautiful sky and foreground, if I expose for detail sky my foreground is very dark. If I bring up the foreground the sky is blown out. If your still there, Help!!.. 😅 Please. Thank you.
I just discovered your channel and your fuji-dedicated site because I recently bought my X100F and was looking for how to set the best configs for it. You do an amazing work! I use my X100F for daily pics and have a 5D mk IV for more professional jobs...But I honestly fell in love with Fuji and now I'm strongly considering sending my Canon away...Which Fuji camera do you recommend me to replace it? Thanks and congratulations again on your work, it's trully inspiring!
Great vid, very very helpful, i just picked up this camera yesterday, never used fuji before. I use backbutton focus on my dslr's all the time, how do you set that up with the x100f?
I have been binge watching your videos all day now, you present information very well and I am learning lots about my new X-T2. I was wondering if you use these same custom settings across all of your fuji gear? I know you use some X-Pro 2s and not the X100f all the time...
Wow thanks for the reply! I am thinking of making a few similar settings change, I love the idea of "imitating" the contrast tone curve in camera! Btw, your black and white editing video is incredible. I love the look of your warm toned black and white shots!
Thank you very much for this great review and info on how you handle your settings. I realized though that when I set the ISO to (iso A1 12800 with min shutter speed 1/125) the camera sometimes overwrites the minimum shutter speed with a lower speed than the 1/125. Do you experience that problem and if yes do you know how solve it? Thank you.
Great videos sir. I’m a great fan of your artwork. I wanted to apply some styles of yours on my own wedding. I have a question, would you recommend taking a night outdoor wedding photos with a x100f? And do you have the tips on using that camera at that kind of event? Thanks sir!
Great video!!! I got got the X100T a few months ago. I'm trying not to think of the F. But it is tempting. Would you use the TCL lens with this, or just settle with the digital converter?
Hello Kevin Just a question I bought the fuji x100f and am wondering what software you use with it? Lightroom? Iridient? Capture 1? Im a bit lost with which one to go with. I have set up the camera like you have with fine raw and am wondering if I am able to adjust the jpegs in lightroom?
Yup, C1 does support it now (this video was created when it didn't). They are still incredibly slow at incorporating new cameras models into their RAW support though.
I have the X70 and for the shadows and highlights, the options only go up to +2 or -2. Is +2 on the X70 the same as +2 on the X100T or did they make +2 on the X70 the equivalent of +4 on the X100T?
You probably switched to the optical viewfinder. The results will be the same, but what you see through the viewfinder will be more DSLR like. Check your manual for the differences between OVF, EVF and the Hybrid viewfinder.
Hello Kevin. I love your videos. I’m a DSLR shooter and just recently started thinking about street photography, I think I would like to buy an X100F. And that brings me to the question(it might be a little silly, but it doesn’t hurt to ask): which color is more suitable for candid street photography (as in black or silver) in your personal opinion?, or maybe it doesn’t matter at all?! Thank you!
Hi, Peter. It's not a silly question. I will always go for black cameras if I can get hold of them. I have a silver X-E3 but that's because it was the only colour in stock when I purchased it.
And just for another point of view: I chose the silver and brown model precisely because I think it looks less "professional" and maybe a little less objectionable. On the other hand, I guess the all-black is less noticeable. BTW, just got this camera and while I have decades of photography experience, this has been the most informative video I've ever seen for the X100F. Thanks!
Excellent video (together with your camera review on your site). Have you actually got the settings written down anywhere online sequentially by any chance? As a reference now I've watched the video...
16:9 ratio question. The jpegs will be in a 16:9 ratio, but what ratio are the RAW files captured in? Will the RAW be 3x2, 5x7, 8x10, or some other ratio?
Hi Kevin, thanks for this. I wonder what I am doing wrong. I rented a x100f from Calumet over the weekend, but all OOC jpegs came out with very waxy skintones even for ISOs 200 and 400. I used pro neg hi/classic chrome with Noise Reduction - 4, highlight - 2, shadows - 2 (or + 2 sometimes), sharpness + 2 I think. The only couple of raw files I saved looked ok in LR. I don't have any Fuji's at the moment, so not used to processing x-trans files, though I was hoping to get god ooc jpegs. PS- I met you during touch and try and Calumet, Euston.
Kevin....thanks for this very useful video, a question about the auto iso function, because if imposed 1/60 - 6400 ISO even the low ISO shots (Es. 1/60 and ISO 1000) are taken mainly to 1/60 or near them values and maybe not to 1/250 with higher ISO ? (I hope I explained myself)
Hi Kevin! Thank you very much for a very useful video. I would like to ask for your advice on smth. I use fujifilm x100f and at some point, the option "film simulation" became unavailable as well as some other options in the menu. They just became blurry and I cant activate them ever since. Any idea what that could be? Thank you in advance!
Hi Kevin, Thank you for this very educational video. I do not have a 100F but I tried as much as possible to set my X-Pro 2 with those settings because I wanted to try to have B&W pictures as neat as yours and because, most of all I should say, I'd like to be able to take pictures on events such as weddings in a more secure and quicker dispositions and I think the X-pro 2 can allow me that . So I thank you for helping me dwell into those menu. Anyway, I do have interest in BBF but I'm afraid there's something I'm missing here: I understand I won't able to assign a specific function to be activated when the Rear Command Dial is pressed until the next X-Pro 2 firmare arrives ( due on late May) so I'm trying to find another function button to be assigned to the BBF but I'm struggling finding wich one could be the most efficient. Second I read that you put your 100f in MF mode but I'm afraid I'm missing something here because for me the AFC mode would be more accurate, precise and quicker for subjects in little movements. Tou said in a previous comments " AF-C using the cameras with the X-Trans III sensor is great and accurate" so I'm a bit lost with the BBF and which AF mode to choose. Thank you again for the attention and the time you spent for those videos.
Hi Truman - you can use the setting in the menu for "Instant AF" to use AFC instead on the BBF. As far as which button is best for you....well, only you can decide on that I guess. Cheers.
Thank you Kevin ! I guess I'm misendertanding something here. BBF and zone focusing . You mentionnened earlier that you set the camera on MF and the use the rear command dial as command for AF so I was a bit confused as how the AF would trigger if you're on MF. I tried on the X-pro 2 and of course it did trigger :)

Thank you. Extremely helpful. I shoot the xt1 and xt2, but watching this I feel like ive left so many features untapped.
You are a man with big heart. You have shared such an important update. Not everyone does it. I ll be buying this camera soon
Thank you, Smita. That's very kind.
Precisely the video I was hoping to find. Appreciate the time you took to make this. Thanks!
This is excellent thank you. Just got an X100V and a bit overwhelmed, I'll watch this again when I have more time. Subscribed. Your B&W shots are mindblowing!
Thanks, Gary. Glad you found it useful.
Comprehensive settings' explanation for such an amazing camera, well done!!
This book is my goto for my 100S. Found this channel and only just realised I have the book.
I’ve just got the x70 and I still found this information very useful. Also I’ve seen that it was you that wrote the book about the x100s. I bought it when I had the x30 about nine years ago 😅
Amazing. Glad both this film and the book were useful.
THanks for your help, I shot my son’s wedding last month and used the setting from this video, I am so happy with what I got I almost cried
That’s wonderful to hear :-)
Thank you for sharing your settings. I love the mood you always seem to create. I haven't seen any videos that show these style of photography; and I have been a photographer for over 5 years watching tons of youtube videos. I hope to someday attend one of your workshops.
Thanks for this outstanding added value. Still looking for settings with her little niece, the X-30 and looking forward to date her aunt, this gorgeous X 100F. Regards from Argentina.
Thank you so much. By going through your own settings, you gave me the knowledge to play around to get exactly what I need from this camera.
Thank you very much. I have just bought a Fuji X100f and I found your video very helpful.
I just found you! This was absolutely awesome. this is a perfect place start for me to get start with this thing. Thank you sir.
excellent video! Thank you. Just picked up this camera today. Taking it for a test run in the morning. First digital camera in a long time. I'm mainly a Rollei shooter, but I'm excited to pair with the X100F.

Craig Brandau was the lens dirty

I find your pictures attractive. That is seldom the case with reviewers. :)
The technical information is also top-notch. Thank you thank you thank you.
Thank you!
Thank you, Kevin. X100F looks very tempting. But I will hang on to the T for a wee bit longer! Look forward to your next video.
X100T is still a great camera, despite the newer one being out now. Have fun.
Great great tutorial indeed! I love your style and thanks for sharing useful hints...
Bought a x70 last week. Helpful video, thanks!
I bet you love it by now. I bought one when they debuted, and a mint-condition used one a couple of months ago since Fuji doesn’t seem like they’ll ever improve on that particular camera, and I never want to not own one. Today I received a used X100F in the mail, which I’ve wanted for a long time. But I doubt I’ll ever leave the house without that X70 in my bag. Enjoy it. It’s a magical little camera.
MUCH more useful to me than the manual! Thankx.
Kevin, thanks for a great video on settings. Like you I have several SLR's, but the Fuji 100F together with a new Ricoh GR3 seem to have refired my enthusiasm for this life long hobby. Keep making the videos!
Thank you for this superb video....Love your BW photos! You can feel the motion behind each photo you presented!
Thank you so much.
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing this precious settings !
Lovely photos - I'm going to give your black and white settings a go.
Hi Kevin, very interesting to see how you set up your X100f, thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Peter.
Great review on your website. I appreciate your time and effort into this! I have the X100S now - not sure if it's worth the upgrade yet. But your review, video and all your feedback has been great - and of course your photos!
Thank you for sharing this mr Mullins. Sure gonna try it out. I have been experimenting till now, and it has been hit and miss. I'm gonna give these settings a go. Deep bow.
Hope it goes well Ronald.
Thank you so much for such an informative video -- just now got my X100F and ready to click!
I come back and watch this video regularly - great tut. Cheers !
Great video- Can you do a tutorial just on your back focusing techniques?! Pretty please!
+teamkrause it's on my todo list.....
Thanks Kevin , that's very helpful-I've been struggling with some of the Menu settings but I'm pleased to see I've got quite a few that are the same as yours - others your suggestions make sense to me so I'll be doing a rehash. Sorry but I really don't understand is Back Button Focus, I've never used it - could do with a Video about that . I love the ACROS and no doubt it's better than the Velvla /SEP 2 conversions which I previously used ( I showed you a misty canal shot when I saw you in London ) I've now subscribed to your channel so look forward to more helpful videos .
Thanks Kevin & I remember that picture. I'll try and get something together to explain BBF soon.
I, too, would love a video related to BBF. I focus & recompose, but I find that in dark situations where people are moving (dancing or nightlife type stuff) it doesn't work well and the camera (x100t) is too slow to focus. Not sure if focus lock would help in that scenario esp if subject is moving distance from me. Thanks
Very informative. Just what I’ve been looking for. Thank you.
Hi Kevin. Have you taken a look at Rocky Nook as a publisher? I really enjoy the books that Rico Pfirstinger puts out on that platform, and I would hate it if we, your audience, never got to read another book by you. Keep up the great work, mate.
Beautiful your sensitivity is incredible Thank you THANK YOU
Great video 👍 your the reason I bought X100F.
Thank you very much Mr. Mullins. This video helps a lot.
You are very welcome
Thanks it helped a lot. You are really diteled a lot things. Hard to find video like yours in RUclips. I really appreciate it. I became subscribe. 😀
Good evening Kevin. You mentioned you use spot metering 80% of the time. What other modes do you use and when? Like when shooting from the hip for instance.
best video around,thanks for your time and effort,
excellent, excellent excellent!!!
Thank you so much. I'm sorry to hear you will not be publishing a book. The video sure helps though....
Yes, I'd love to do another book but it's not going to happen by the looks of it.
Thank you for this video, I learned so much. Loving the podcast too!
thanks so much for doing this Mr Mullins i sold my XT-2 for lighter gear X100F all the way!!!much appreciated sir.
:-)
Just found this video!! Exactly what I was looking forThank you sir.
Hi Kevin, just got an X100f, equally, just found this tutorial, 7 years old, I write this in hope your still there, I'm struggling to get a good exposure between beautiful sky and foreground, if I expose for detail sky my foreground is very dark. If I bring up the foreground the sky is blown out. If your still there, Help!!.. 😅 Please. Thank you.
I'd love an explanation of the Advanced Filters function, particularly how to avoid having to use any of them.
I just discovered your channel and your fuji-dedicated site because I recently bought my X100F and was looking for how to set the best configs for it. You do an amazing work! I use my X100F for daily pics and have a 5D mk IV for more professional jobs...But I honestly fell in love with Fuji and now I'm strongly considering sending my Canon away...Which Fuji camera do you recommend me to replace it? Thanks and congratulations again on your work, it's trully inspiring!
Thank you. I'd probably look at an X-T3 right now.
Thanks! This was straightforward and informative.
This is an awesome & useful video
Thank you Kevin 🙏🏽

Love this most professional vlog of the x100f settings but can you explain as to why the ND setting does not appear in button functions?
I have the ND set to one of my fn buttons.
Amazing, thank you Kevin !!! greetings from italy
Thank you!

Very cool! Helps me to a big degree even with my TX 20 & XT 100. Thanks.
Glad it helped!
excellent (non-nerdy) advice - thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Just what I needed. Thanks so much.
No problem, thanks.
Thank you for all the useful info. Do you ever use the face/eye detection features?
This was insanely useful. Thank you.
Cool!
Thank you for the settings review. Could you, please, say about what accessories do you use (straps, flash, case etc.)?
Hi Andriy - there is quite a bit on my website: f16.click
Super vid, well explained.
Thanks for sharing
Great video!!! I got got the X100T a few months ago. I'm trying not to think of the F. But it is tempting. Would you use the TCL lens with this, or just settle with the digital converter?
TCL really for more critical stuff - especially as it also allows you to shoot in raw.
Hello Kevin Just a question I bought the fuji x100f and am wondering what software you use with it? Lightroom? Iridient? Capture 1? Im a bit lost with which one to go with. I have set up the camera like you have with fine raw and am wondering if I am able to adjust the jpegs in lightroom?
Hi. I finally bought the x100f. I just luv it. Can you tell me which is the best shooting mode is it continues single or manual???
Love your work Kevin- fantastic weddings! Can I use these settings for the XT1?
Thanks Kenny & Yes, the same settings should work fine.
Thanks very much Kevin
this is help me a lot
thank you for your video
Capture One started to support lossless compressed starting with version 10.1. (Current version 11.x)
Yup, C1 does support it now (this video was created when it didn't). They are still incredibly slow at incorporating new cameras models into their RAW support though.
I have the X70 and for the shadows and highlights, the options only go up to +2 or -2. Is +2 on the X70 the same as +2 on the X100T or did they make +2 on the X70 the equivalent of +4 on the X100T?
X70 is same as X100t in this regards.
Great video! I am new to the camera, I set it up as yours was. I then bumped the viewfinder button on the front and all my settings disappeared :(
You probably switched to the optical viewfinder. The results will be the same, but what you see through the viewfinder will be more DSLR like. Check your manual for the differences between OVF, EVF and the Hybrid viewfinder.
Excellent ! Thank you very much.

BTW, just got this camera and while I have decades of photography experience, this has been the most informative video I've ever seen for the X100F. Thanks!
Thank you for the video, very helpful. Is there any way to change the name of the custom settings?
Excellent video (together with your camera review on your site). Have you actually got the settings written down anywhere online sequentially by any chance? As a reference now I've watched the video...
Hi Wayne - take a look at f16.click and there are a lot of posts there with my settings.
Thank you... Great video... What film simulation do you use colors.... And there settings... Thank you peace
16:9 ratio question. The jpegs will be in a 16:9 ratio, but what ratio are the RAW files captured in? Will the RAW be 3x2, 5x7, 8x10, or some other ratio?
Kimberly Norton The RAW file will be the full size.

Thank you very much.
Hi Kevin, thanks for this. I wonder what I am doing wrong. I rented a x100f from Calumet over the weekend, but all OOC jpegs came out with very waxy skintones even for ISOs 200 and 400. I used pro neg hi/classic chrome with Noise Reduction - 4, highlight - 2, shadows - 2 (or + 2 sometimes), sharpness + 2 I think. The only couple of raw files I saved looked ok in LR. I don't have any Fuji's at the moment, so not used to processing x-trans files, though I was hoping to get god ooc jpegs. PS- I met you during touch and try and Calumet, Euston.
Kevin....thanks for this very useful video, a question about the auto iso function, because if imposed 1/60 - 6400 ISO even the low ISO shots (Es. 1/60 and ISO 1000) are taken mainly to 1/60 or near them values and maybe not to 1/250 with higher ISO ? (I hope I explained myself)
Hi Kevin! Thank you very much for a very useful video. I would like to ask for your advice on smth. I use fujifilm x100f and at some point, the option "film simulation" became unavailable as well as some other options in the menu. They just became blurry and I cant activate them ever since. Any idea what that could be? Thank you in advance!
How to get the screen at the bottom.right hand corner to check what i am clicking. Suddenly it seems to have disappeared and i cant get it back
Great guide mate
Thank you!
Superb video, are these settings for the most part applicable to the XT-20?
I don't have an XT20 but these settings would all work.
Brilliant video. Thank
Hi Kevin, Thank you for this very educational video. I do not have a 100F but I tried as much as possible to set my X-Pro 2 with those settings because I wanted to try to have B&W pictures as neat as yours and because, most of all I should say, I'd like to be able to take pictures on events such as weddings in a more secure and quicker dispositions and I think the X-pro 2 can allow me that . So I thank you for helping me dwell into those menu.
Anyway, I do have interest in BBF but I'm afraid there's something I'm missing here:
I understand I won't able to assign a specific function to be activated when the Rear Command Dial is pressed until the next X-Pro 2 firmare arrives ( due on late May) so I'm trying to find another function button to be assigned to the BBF but I'm struggling finding wich one could be the most efficient.
Second I read that you put your 100f in MF mode but I'm afraid I'm missing something here because for me the AFC mode would be more accurate, precise and quicker for subjects in little movements. Tou said in a previous comments " AF-C using the cameras with the X-Trans III sensor is great and accurate" so I'm a bit lost with the BBF and which AF mode to choose.
Thank you again for the attention and the time you spent for those videos.
Hi Truman - you can use the setting in the menu for "Instant AF" to use AFC instead on the BBF. As far as which button is best for you....well, only you can decide on that I guess. Cheers.
Thank you Kevin ! I guess I'm misendertanding something here. BBF and zone focusing . You mentionnened earlier that you set the camera on MF and the use the rear command dial as command for AF so I was a bit confused as how the AF would trigger if you're on MF. I tried on the X-pro 2 and of course it did trigger :)
Great:) Do you also have a guide for your x-t2 settings?
