I haven't touched my X100V for months because I lost my mojo and my confidence. Thank goodness I saved this video of yours Jay, (and others of yours) so much better than trying to work my way through the Manual. You're a terrific tutor. Thankyou so much.
I find that “street” shooting settings works great for capturing kids because of the similarities with fast/spontaneous subject matter. Man, I’ve read the manual dozens of times but I almost always find myself searching youtube for tutorials or better explanations on settings. I really appreciate videos that go over the menus! Thanks Jay!!
Thanks Hiro, and yeh I've also gone through the manual for troubleshooting but always end up disappointed with the explanation. I end up just tinkering with the camera and figuring it out myself
I haven't used my X100V for months and months. This video really easily and quickly got me familiarised with the settings again. Thank you, great video!
I guess thats what makes the GR still a good alternative to the X100V, that and it's size. But the X100V just looks nicer, makes me feel good when I take photos
Jay, thank you for making the bewildering 🥴menu system simple to understand. 🤗 Please, continue to make more of these videos on how to utilize our Fuji 📷 to its full potential. Also, I’m accustomed to shooting manually (from my film days), please do a video on full manual shooting set up-I know how to 📸, but not explaining to others 🤔. ✌🏼& 📸
I actually like Pre-AF a lot. In a pinch if there's something that happens suddenly, I'll be able to get a somewhat usable image if I'm at f/8 since everything is in focus.
Hello why cant i change iso, shutter speed and aperture in fujifilm video setting when i want to shoot video? Could u please share why i am facing the problem? I can change the dial for the iso aperture and shutter speeds.. but on lcd screen these changes are not captured so the video shot is dark.. thanks for your reply
Not quite sure whay you mean by that, I think if you set it to T mode, the back dial is the shutter speed control, and the front dial can control/swtich between the aperture and ISO
Oh man, I have the X-Pro3 (and love it) but I miss having an X100 camera. The pocketable form factor, the feeling and experience while shooting it, the NOT hidden screen, the weather resistance… oh the GAS is rising!
I don't know about everybody else, but since I got into fuji, my GAS has been nonstop. First was the X100V, now I got the XT3 and I got my eyes on the XPro series... My wallet does not like me.
@@JayRegular I actually have the X100S, it was my gateway into Fuji! It's still a great camera IQ wise, even when I compare the images to the X-Pro3, on my phone they look the same. But all those new features fast AF, better lens, overall more user friendly... I might just sell some other gear haha
@@JayRegular got an X100T for 400€ last year, thanks to your videos I guess. This camera changed the way I'm taking pictures now with the film recipes (I wish I could pay Fuji to get firmware update with Across and classic neg). It even pushed me into film photography and I just bought an old Olympus OM-1n. Fuji cameras have that little spark of creativeness that other brands don't.
Excellent tutorial Jay! For myself, my main type of photography is street photography. I notice you have OVF, image Disp set at FULL. If you don't mind me asking, is this better for street photography? Would you mind elaborating on store AF mode by orientation? Thank you so much Jay!
OVF image display works only when you are shooting with the OVF and you have Image display set to continuous, 1.5s or 0.5s. FULL will show the photo you just took on the entire viewfinder frame, SMALL will show it in the little window patch on the lower right corner. What did you want further detail on regarding the store AF mode by orientation?
@@JayRegular Thank you so much Jay for explaining about the OVF, image Disp. That clears it up very well. I just had a bit of a hard time understanding what the store AF mode by orientation is used for. While in that mode, does the camera store certain parts of the subject that you want in focus? I can't thank you enough for your amazing help!
for sunrise and or sunset its alwasy benficial to have a tripod. I would activate the ND filter on the 100v, have my ISO at the lowest setting and aperture at 5.6-9, shutter speed can very anywhere between 1 minute to 1/2s depending
I guess so, but I wouldn't know how much processing you would save. It would make sense to turn it off of you are just shooting Raw only, since it would only apply the optimisation to the jpegs images in camera
Great tips Jay! Thanks 👍 Another great AF function is that you can change to focus point size by turning the read command dial when selecting the AF point. It is extremely useful and very quick to change between a subject to another! Cheers
@@JayRegular I’m referring to the conversion lenses. And i think I’ve checked out those videos. I was wondering if you have any custom film simulations you may like.
@@Egyptsdad If I ever decide to try out the conversion lenses, I'll be sure to make a review on them. In terms of custom film simulations I like, do you mean ones that others of created, or ones I have created?
One major disagreement I have is on your auto focus custom settings. I prefer to have it on number six, where I can customize- make my own. I missed too many shots on the first “custom” programmed setting. I use the far right setting under the speed tracking sensitivity. Find I get more hits than misses.
Yeh personal preference plays a big part when it comes to autofocus, it also depends on how you use your camera for what kind of situation as well. Thanks for sharing your settings!
I guess they assume you want the face to be properly exposed at all times! Just small things, but Fujifilm is never clear with their setting troubleshooting
@@JayRegular thanks for replying, another weird thing I noticed is you cannot lock exposure when you set your shutter speed to non-auto for example 1/160. I use xt-20, I don't know maybe I do something wrong or something. Did you hear about such issue?
My biggest issue with this AF/Systemet is that is not reliable at all.. even in good light using Afc on people just slowly walking, and a shutter speeed at minimum 1/500 I would say 75% is sharp. And a lot of snap on pictures, its realy soft... Limit focus range is a huge help, but it gets cumbersome.. I stay on manual focus and F 7.1 , then I set the focus at about the 10 meters mark. That way 98% of everything within 3-20 meters is sharp. Meanwhile if using my Sony i would use "zone focus" and it will get 98% of my picture no matter light or situation tack sharp. The difference in focus between a Sony A73 and a later generation Fuji (xt3 and upwards) is miles apart. In fact, my XT 1 in singe point focus is not fast, but extremely reliable.
I would agree with you there, Fuji cameras can't really compete with Sony when it comes to focusing, I have tried to experiment with af-s and af-c for street and I find it a bit clunky for what I need it to achieve, so I also resort to manual focusing and shooting high aperture/setting a zone
I don't think so, I don't believe I renamed my title to x100vi, and most of the settings I talk about in this video would most likely apply to the new model too in 2024

Get a sony A7III for reliable fast focus
@@synthesaurus
Which defeats the purpose of the 100v, compactness.
Thanks for the video!! I was getting desperate trying to do it by myself, impossible. I feel like a pro after watch your video
Grazie.
I just got an X100V yesterday and have been watching all your videos :) They are very helpful, thank you!
i was struggling to get the best out of my camera. not anymore. Most detailed settings video i’ve ever watched on Fuji. Cheers mate!
Recently purchased my X100V and this is the best video I’ve seen regarding the settings, really appreciated the way who explained everything.
I haven't used my X100V for months and months. This video really easily and quickly got me familiarised with the settings again. Thank you, great video!
I love this video, explanations are very clear, you speak clearly and it's perfect for a non english speaker. Keep creating videos !
Thanks you for the support!
I've been trying to figure out how to lock focus point/lever for ages! My D800 has a dedicated switch so this video helped with that, thanks!
Thank you for this very profound and detailed video, it is extremely helpful 🙏🏻
Thanks for taking the time to make this, it really has helped me shortcut to some great settings
Great tips. The best X100V settings explanation video IMHO. Thanks a lot!
Clearesr account I've seen so far. Thanks.
Really helpful in setting up my X100v. Thanks!
GREAT VIDEO supper and very clear explanation
Jay, mate. Since getting the V I hardly ever grab the T-3. Amazing camera, mate. Keep the tutorials coming.
It definitely is the better looking and more enjoyable everyday walk around camera, but the t3 is still the more versatile and powerful system!
it feels somewhat wrong having access to
all this useful information for free lol. Thanks man 🙏
Jay the fuji King I've learnt alot from this bloke
Big thanks Brett!
Hi, thanks for making the video. I have noted a few things to perhaps change on my camera. I w opted for the X Pro 3.
This explained the two things Ive been stuck on
Nice clear informative video. Really good.
Thanks for this, it’s really useful and not just for street photography.
Thanks man! Trying to wrap my head around all these settings took quite a while, so I'm glad it helped 👍
I know what you mean, so many settings affect other settings! You’ve done a great job.
This video was amazing!! Thank you
Super helpful. You're a great teacher!
Thank you so much!!!❤
Thanks a bunch for this Jay! These are some really great tips tbh, likewise your earlier tutorial vids about the x100v this was super helpful! 🤍
Always thankful man! Appreciate the support :)
Thanks this was super helpful!!
awesome thanks for posting
The onyl thing i miss is the snap focus from the GR cameras. which would make any Fujifilm camera perfect! I wish I could try out the X100V. 😀
I guess thats what makes the GR still a good alternative to the X100V, that and it's size. But the X100V just looks nicer, makes me feel good when I take photos

by the end I realized I am glad I picked the F over the V....but thanx for the video.

Thanks Roberto!
Excellent !!
Awesome tutorial, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
bro went through the menu more detailed and clear than my teacher did to Shakespeare
GREAT video!! TYVM!! Am I right in thinking command dial setting can NOT be changed in MOST modes? (for example T mode (Timed shutter mode)?
Not quite sure whay you mean by that, I think if you set it to T mode, the back dial is the shutter speed control, and the front dial can control/swtich between the aperture and ISO
Great channel, thanks

If you have store af on, it remembers the position of where the focus box is for each orientation. It saves the hassle of repositioning the focus box
@@JayRegular Ahhhh, NOW I understand! You are a true blessing Jay! Thank you!!!
Thank you, Jay. Great tips!
Cheers John!
Thanks Jay for this video, this is very informative. What is the best setting to capture sunset or sunrise?
for sunrise and or sunset its alwasy benficial to have a tripod. I would activate the ND filter on the 100v, have my ISO at the lowest setting and aperture at 5.6-9, shutter speed can very anywhere between 1 minute to 1/2s depending
@@JayRegular many thanks!
Thanks you man 😌
Good video man, I miss going outside :(
same, hopefully we will be out soon
Do u get the problem with color differences between EVF and LCD? Thanks in advance
I noticed that some youtubers have their lens modulation optimizer turned off. Just trying to cut down on processing, etc?
I guess so, but I wouldn't know how much processing you would save. It would make sense to turn it off of you are just shooting Raw only, since it would only apply the optimisation to the jpegs images in camera
Great tips Jay! Thanks 👍

Nice one! Noted Nathan 👍
Do you have any videos on the lenses for the x100v.? And also the film simulations.
I have videos on film simulations on my channel, the x100v only has one lens so I can't really make videos about lenses
@@JayRegular I’m referring to the conversion lenses. And i think I’ve checked out those videos. I was wondering if you have any custom film simulations you may like.
@@Egyptsdad If I ever decide to try out the conversion lenses, I'll be sure to make a review on them. In terms of custom film simulations I like, do you mean ones that others of created, or ones I have created?
@@JayRegular both the ones you have created and the ones you like from others. Thanks for responding.
God fucking bless you! I was about to return this camera until you explained how to override the camera controlling the aperture!
Cheers man, glad you found it useful 👍

I have found that people move in unpredictable ways, the reason why I chose a shorter delay in tracking sensitivity.
good shit bro! cheers
I'm confused by the upload date and the title, so these are future settings.
Thx for!!
Thanks. It's a bit stupid I guess when you cannot do a spot photometric when face detection is on. Anyway it would be useful.

You seem to have re-titled your 2 year old 2022 videos as “2024”. Trying to cash in on the X100VI hype? Seems dishonest.
I don't think so, I don't believe I renamed my title to x100vi, and most of the settings I talk about in this video would most likely apply to the new model too in 2024
