NOTE ABOUT DIGITAL TELECONVERTER: Regarding the issue discussed in the video, the Digital Teleconverter function had been assigned to the camera's front lens control ring. I kept accidentally enabling it but not realizing it. So, once I removed the Digital Teleconverter custom assignment choice from the control ring (I assigned 'Standard' instead), the problem went away.
Hi Chris , I’m a 22 yr old uni student who just got my first fujifilm camera. I don’t usually comment on videos, but I do truly want to say thank you for what you do in helping newbies like me get into photography, I’ve personally learnt a lot from your channel. Cheers :)
You really should be on Fujifilm payroll! I reckon that you single handedly do more for the brand than all others on RUclips combined! We really appreciate you, for both the CONTENT and the delivery of these videos and your tireless work in creating these. I have been a Fuji user since 2012, but I still learn something from virtually all your videos. Thanks again.
Customizing the VIEW MODE settings is the one for me! I have been wanting to do this for sooooo long but never knew it was there. Cycling through all these menu options has always been a pain to do. Thank you so much!!!
Chirs I legit did the Digi Tele Conveter this yesterday and was hella frustrated and was about to factory reset the X100VI. Before I did that I was gonna DM you and will capping the Lens I actually rolled it back to off and had to laugh at myself for like 5 mins onhow silly that was. For the life of my I could figure why I was stuck on M quality. Mahalo for these and happy I didn't embarrass myself asking a silly question 🤙🏽
Aw man DM me anytime if you are approaching factory reset. Besides, I have some Ecamm issues I'd love to get your take on that. Yeah, Fuji needs a 'DEFAULT SETTING CAUTION EXPERT' to make sure anything default setting (like, 'Shoot without SD card = ON') are not set to the wrong one by default!
Hey there! I’m so sorry for the delay in seeing this… I get so behind lately in managing my YT account and am trying to get help. But seriously, thank you so much for your kind donation!! This means a lot to me and really helps out the channel!!! You ROCK!!! Thanks again and all the best to you!!!
The feature with the simplifying the View Mode Setting is priceless. Thank you so much for that. Esp. the X-T5 is perfect for the 2 way use of the view finder button.
I preordered this camera on day one. Finally got it last week and I loved it. I finally got to try out the Nostalgic Neg film simulation and it quickly became my favorite. But it is taking some time to learn the menus and set it up the way I like it so thank you for the tips.
I also assign the front button on the EVF lever to flash so that I can easily get to that flash menu. It makes it very easy to turn it on and off. I additionally assign the ND to that little button on the top as I often use both together.
I’m so sorry for the delay in seeing this… I get so behind lately in managing my YT account and am trying to get help. Thank you so much for supporting the channel!! I really appreciate it!! Cheers! 🙏 👍
I enjoy watching your Fujifilm camera videos. Your videos have helped me figure out some of the things I could not do without your help. I appreciate your expert advice. Keep on doing these great videos. Best wishes . 😊
Thanks for this video. I was out shooting for the first time with my new X100VI and needed a fill-in flash, but couldn't for the life of me figure out how to activate the flash. Thanks to your video I now know, but I still can't understand why Fujifilm would think that using a completely different control, just to alter the flash setting was a good idea 🙄
04:54 true, In Indonesia, Fujifilm disabled 5GHz. Strange policy in expensive Fuji features that cannot be used to maximize photo transfers through the app quickly. Is there any way to change it? Maybe it was in the regional settings when resetting
A large batch of X100VI is arriving at the stores in May and June. The supply would catch up to the demand by the end of this year. The price of second-hand X100Vi will drop.
I kept the control ring on for digital zoom. Yep, I bumped it a lot but appreciated having it at my fingertips. The ability to turn things on and off using the LCD panel gestures is also handy.
You did it! I noticed that changing to 5ghz toin the Fuji app improved my transfer speed with my XT5. This appears to be the default on the GFX 100ii. That's why the transfers were so much quicker.
In Indonesia, Fujifilm disabled 5GHz, I can only use 2GHz in the menu. Strange policy in expensive Fuji features that cannot be used to maximize photo transfers through the app quickly. Is there any way to change it? Maybe it was in the regional settings when resetting
I never knew the fast format tip. Thanks! The flash is only powerful for half-body shots at most. With such a small battery, you probably don't want to use the flash frequently.
I assigned a fn-button for my view mode. I thought a great tip here, but after applying it it doesn't work with my fn-button. I still have to press multi times, allthough I only activated 2
Manual flash is fine, but I prefer to dial in negative flash exposure compensation (usually between -1 and -2) and use TTL flash. Then I just trigger flash on or off using the Q menu and don't generally worry about adjusting the power. Neither mode is better of course, just a different strategy!
My "Flash Function Setting" on my X100VI is greyed out. Could you or anyone that sees this help me resolve this issue? I've got it set up for Mechanical Shutter and Single Frame, but I cannot activate the flash and it is driving me nuts! Any help would be appreciated!
Thank Pal, it was very useful. I think by mistake I did something in menu and by rear wheel when I rotate to set shutter speed, it’s changing 1-number based!for example instead of 60, 80, 100, 125, 160, etc. it’s changing 60, 61, 62, 63, ….! Please advise.
Having had an x100f for a few year’s alongside my xt3 I decided to preorder the VI, sadly Fuji only supply this camera (like the V) to social media influencers and not loyal customers, as such I purchased a 23mm f2 and stuck it on my xt3, might just he saved myself £1600. Very disillusioned with Fuji, imagine a new iPhone that you couldn’t buy
As a long time fuji user, the amount of times I cant do what i want because of some random seemingly unrelated setting drives me crazy. Smart subject detection diables photometry. The little mini EVF won't pop up no matter what you do... Its because you're not in single point AF Some can be useful though. I have now set HL to 3 shots per second and use it to toggle clarity on and off, since amy burst deactivates it. One I'm exploring now is the lock mode. A few times I've wondered why i can't access the Q menu... I've locked the camera by mistake. Never understood why anyone would only want to lock that. Turns out you can set up exactly what locking the camera actually locks. So now I've got a full on hand it to a non-photographer lock mode (basically almost everything is locked!)
What is the best way to hand off the camera to someone that doesn’t know how to half press the shutter to focus? When I want someone else to take a picture with me in it the focus is almost always missed
Great tips! I just got my first Fujifilm camera and it's the 100VI. I don't know if it's a norm but it seems to be getting hot pretty fast and I'm only on just tinkering with the menus. Is this normal or do I have a faulty camera? I'm so used to my Olympus 4/3rd and never experienced heating issues so I'm just worried.
My Fuji should ship in the next couple weeks. It’s been brutal for me to ether sell it or keep it😅. RUclips is killing me with Fuji videos that make me want to keep it.
Hey ! I just try to write here, cuz have no idea what to doing with this issue……. I really appreciate, love and respect every single video pal2tech has done ☑️ but my todays shooting made me absolutely Desperate _ I really want to sell all of my Fuji gear ⚙️ and left photography for ever. Well the whole thing is that : the tracking focus on my set gfx100s + gf80 = really bad _ I lost bunch of good pics because of ____hmmmm _ I think I know it by heart all the video on this channel _ but Fuji still worst system in tracking auto focus in my opinion. Anyway, it's a childhood dream of mine that you make a video about tracking autofocus. I know that there are such videos on the channel, but I want a new release for dumb as I am_ Much love pal2tech 💔💔💔💔💔💔
Yep. For me, Reason #42957 to always shoot RAW in addition to JPEG. This actually happened when I initially tested the X100VI and the RAW versions saved a full reshoot.

Thanks for the golden nuggets of wisdom here. Came from the Fuji S2Pro to the X100 and last week the V100VI. Cheers.
Omg that tip for the 5 ghz wifi is so good. Transfer speeds were just so slow before that.
I preordered this camera on day one. Finally got it last week and I loved it. I finally got to try out the Nostalgic Neg film simulation and it quickly became my favorite. But it is taking some time to learn the menus and set it up the way I like it so thank you for the tips.
This is a great video! Improving the transfer speeds is a bombshell of a tip 🤯. It’s worth the time even if it was just that feature alone.
I also assign the front button on the EVF lever to flash so that I can easily get to that flash menu. It makes it very easy to turn it on and off. I additionally assign the ND to that little button on the top as I often use both together.
Very useful. Thank you!
this is my first fuji camera ever and your tips have helped me so much. thank you very much 😀
Really liked the opening video, very special. More bits like this please
Thanks!

Thanx for another great video. I would like to get rid of the RGB histogram in play back. I did rfm but could not find it.

Thanks. Some really useful info.
Thank you so much
Just the very best info and entertaining with it. Thank you....📷🙏
Here I am again, watching secrets for cameras I can only use in my dreams 😅 but as always, great video sir pal2tech 💯
A large batch of X100VI is arriving at the stores in May and June. The supply would catch up to the demand by the end of this year. The price of second-hand X100Vi will drop.
Wow that quick format -I just done it in my XH1. Thanks!
I kept the control ring on for digital zoom. Yep, I bumped it a lot but appreciated having it at my fingertips. The ability to turn things on and off using the LCD panel gestures is also handy.
Fantastic video Chris. Love those tips, very useful for me setting things up with mine! Thanks!
Another excellent upload. I watched, even though I'll never get the camera. I'm down here in X-H1 land till, as Mr. Waits says, "the wheels come off".
The had to turn off the digital zoom too because the ring is so close. I do want to try using it in the future with all those MPs

Hi Chris, thanks for sharing another super entertaining and informative video..
👍 Kenneth! Thanks man...
3:01 omg i was searching fo rthis for so long.. I was in that exact menu and theres no indication that pressing Q would do anything! Thank you
So good!!
Great tips, thanks
Great info, thanks

Interesting functions

@@gabedamien Thanks for the heads up. Cool idea
The digital tele converter does not work in video mode does it? On the X100iv or the XT5
Hello, I was wondering how can I get a full frame view on my Fujifilmxt5
Do you have a similar video for the xt5?
you are the GOAT!

Sir i have an a doubt about Fujifilm xs20 it is best camera for professional work and I'm your fan for india

you have flicker reduction turned on I beleive. Turn it off and see if this goes away.

Choose an older person! They would have used a real point and shoot camera, rather than only knowing a phone! Interesting problem.

My favorite quality of life feature…
You may be activating the digital zoom (and therefore reducing the filesize) by hitting the rotating ring around the lens! I was!
Thank you for 5ghz!

8th "not so" hidden feature = camera availability
My Fuji should ship in the next couple weeks. It’s been brutal for me to ether sell it or keep it😅. RUclips is killing me with Fuji videos that make me want to keep it.
Um, most people buy things to actually use them. Go figure.
i don't have that 5Ghz wifi option... sad
I can’t get hold of the camera
the biggest secret of this camera is that you can't find it for sale anywhere
I press/hold the Delet button then press the wheel - and NOTHING! Why? Firmware is 1.10

💔💔💔💔💔💔
VIEW MODE settings also works for X-T5 😅 Why is Fuji hiding such useful settings???
If you shoot Raw + Fine and accidentally shoot with digital teleconverter, your Raw image will still be full size.
Yep. For me, Reason #42957 to always shoot RAW in addition to JPEG. This actually happened when I initially tested the X100VI and the RAW versions saved a full reshoot.
and remember that if your OVF doesnt comes out, it's probably because you have the level activated
The only secret I need is how to buy that overhyped camera.
Yet they’re all out of stock.
great tips, thank you.
