- In this video, we'll do something a little different and I'll walk you through all the settings I check when I get a new Fujifilm camera. This time around, that camera is the GFX 100S, but these settings apply to all Fujifilm cameras. I'll cover all the basics of getting the camera ready for your first shoot.

Congratulations on acquiring the 100S Dylan. May she bring you much photographic and artistic joy. Looking forward to seeing your new work with this camera!
Hi Paul! Thanks, man! I'm looking forward to a variety of work later in the year to really put it through its paces.
Thank you, Dylan. Recently picked up a GFX100s. I just watched your video to compare your settings with mine. A few surprises and insight from your video so I updated my camera settings! Cheers.
Excellent setup guide. Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! Nice to hear your thoughts on all settings.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank for taking the time, mine is still in the shopping cart with a 45-100 to give me starting.
You will love that combo, but you're going to yearn for a fast aperture lens at some point to get some of that GFX beauty, I'd say!
Thanks. Fab set-up video.
You’re welcome 😊
Also I always set my simulation to Across red (I like to see the world in BW while photographing) and the recording to RAW only. The image I see in the EVF or rear screen will be in BW
Another informative video Dylan....looking forward to seeing your thoughts on how 100s compares to the 50r in terms of ease of use, hit rate with nailing the focus, and dealing with the large file sizes..thank you!
Thanks, Derek! I worked with it on a portrait session this morning and was quite shocked in many ways! I'll definitely have a video in the coming weeks.
Great video, Mutch appreciated
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video, thanks
Thanks, Dan!
Thanks... that was good...
Congratulations with your camera.
"It finally arrived!" That's what my local Fujifilm store welcomed me with when I went in to pick it up. haha
Amazing presentation.
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for the vid I am new to Fuji and the info is Gold. just bought a GF32-64 on super special with the additional Fuji Cash back and saved a fortune. Small problem I just need the camera now!!!! A couple of months a tax return and a few eBay sales and all will be good. Can't wait More excited about this than the easter bunny or Santa.
Hopefully soon! Enjoy the camera when it arrives!
@@DylanGoldbyPhotographer Just got the new camera Just a tad AWESOME! but my brain hurts a bit. I can operate the Canon OS with both eyes tied behind my back. Being new to Fuji the OS is quite different I have watched your vid a couple of times have followed your settings except I love touch screen. one thing not covered was What is the most appropriate or default DR ( dynamic range ) setting as I have not seen this before on canon . I know what DR means but can't mentally correlate 100, 400 and auto to an appropriate F stop range or any type of log setting (video) In addition how do you swap out functions on the quick screen. as with the 8 icons I want to ditch the flash disable and replace for IBIS control as I shoot a lot of interiors and blend separate flash and ambient Exposures so IBIS does not help.
Also can't figure out how to apply the film simulation modes in post eg Velvia etc is that specific to capture one or do we download somewhere for Lightroom and ACR.
Thanks All help is appreciated
Excellent podcast - Thanks. Have you ever tried to use Fuji Lens adapter and Hasselblad HC (anyway made by Fuji) lenses.
Thanks for watching. No, I have no experience with the Hasselblad lenses.
hi Dylan. Thanks for the video. One question: could you confirm whether this camera does allow to record a 30 seconds voice memo, as it happens with the GFX 50R?- thanks
Thanks for watching, Pedro! That's not a function I ever use, but I assume it will be included. Best check the online manual for that one!
Interestingly I have recently discovered that you can set put the self timer status to be remembered by the camera as you turn it on or off or it goes to sleep. Very useful in landscape where I use self timer all the time and hate to reset it as the camera goes off. Available on the XT4 GFX 100,100s and 50R. Did not find in o. The XT3. Don’t know about other models
Yes, that came in with the GFX models and was introduced to the X series afterwards, I believe. Super useful for people who use the timer a lot, for sure!
Good video Except your MS (mechanical) shutter recommendation. That is going to cause blurred photos from Shutter Shock. The EF (electronic front curtain) setting will convert over to MS above 1/1250 for the bokeh and exposure benefits for fast lenses you spoke of...Fuji knows this, they built the camera, and that is why EF is the default setting on the 100S.
I've looked into this a little and done some of my own testing. I'm sure for certain applications, this would come into play and that's why its set. On my end, I've not noticed a difference at all, even when doing a bit of pixel peeping. Either way, the more you know!
@@DylanGoldbyPhotographer Hi, could you explain more about certain applications?
A Thousand thanks, Mille mercis de Paris (France)
I’m coming from the x100v and one thing that really put me off with GFX100s is the PASM dial. They had the chance to do something better here and transfer some of that powerful control over from the x100v, but they played it safe I think.
One thing that I noticed, is that it does not have Aperture Program Shift (ability to override the apperture on Program mode). Not sure if this is a bug or they purposely disabled it in latest versions. I didn’t upgrade first thing and Im pretty sure I had this option in v1.0 So what I end up doing is quickly switching to Aperture Priority when I need to override it. This is where the top left Q menu item comes in handy when you’re working with custom modes.
I think they took the magic away from the shooting modes. I’ll probably get used to it, but I definitely get more pleasure from my x100v.
Thanks for the recommendations and would love to see another video maybe! Like your favourite ISO settings, D Range, general tips and tricks or whatever you find interesting!
Cheers!
The design is definitely aimed at pulling in users of other systems. For those who came into photography with the DSLR style controls, it can be a little daunting to look at Fujifilm's retro styled dials, it seems. Personally, I find them much of a muchness and switch back and forth with no troubles at all.
Aperture Program Shift works just fine on mine, so perhaps check your command dial settings to make sure they're set correctly.
@@DylanGoldbyPhotographer I went from a DSLR to x100v and found it way more intuitive and fun, then went to Gfx100s and felt like I was going a step backwards. But what a beast of a camera… I love it!
Interesting about the Aperture Program Shift… I’ve gone through the dial settings and it doesn’t even have it as an option. Says only Aperture (not program shift). I’m wondering if you have the latest version. I’ll look into this further…. Thanks!!
@@unstanic I've updated, yes. I actually had to take the camera out and test this for you as I never use P. Haha.
@@DylanGoldbyPhotographer I never use it either due to this issue ahaha. I’ll follow your steps and use either A or M :) Thanks!
Hi Dylan, useful video, not least to sanity check my understanding and process for doing the same. You may already know this, but other users may find it helpful; did you you can also back up all your camera settings to your computer using one of the bundled Fuji software programs (can’t recall which one but I’ve never much use for them anything other than this). If you have multiple bodies it makes it super quick to have set up consistency, or if you should loose one (or both) 👍
I have used this process before. But, I always like to go through the complete menus of a new camera in case things have changed or new settings that are useful to me have been included. It's just part of my process when it comes to getting a new camera out of the box.
@@DylanGoldbyPhotographer for sure, that’s why I still found your video so useful; both to see what options have changed or been added, and to hear an objective view on how others use them. Handy to have a back up. Not sure with the GFX100s I will ever be in the situation of having multiple bodies, but it is handy fir cheaper bodies too like my X-H1, especially seen as you can pick them up used super cheap now for such an incredible camera.
This was incredibly helpful, thank you so much! I am curious if you have ever come across a message after releasing the shutter saying "STORING." This started happening recently on the camera I am using and it takes about 7 seconds to store the file before being able to shoot again. Any help to get back to shooting continuously would be much appreciated.
No, I haven't. Sounds like a job for the service centre!
Turn off clarity
Also make sure you have a uhs 2 card with high write speed!
what lenses would you recommend for landscape & travel?
That would entirely depend on what you like to shoot. :)
Today is actually the 1 year anniversary of my Fuji GFX100s purchase. I have done some photography with it, but crazy life and pandemic has prevented a deep dive. This video was VERY helpful and got me even more excited about this beast of a camera that I named HOSS. I look forward to browsing your other videos. PS: So wonderful for you to include an outreach to Myanmar. All the best to you, Jenn
...gonna call mine Mighty😊
What is the DR setting that you use Dylan? There is Auto, 100%, 200% & 400%. Where should this be and what does it do?
I don't change it as I shoot raw. To my understanding, it's basically going to lift the shadows and soften highlights if you work in jpg.
@@DylanGoldbyPhotographer Thanks my friend - I greatly appreciate it. So it makes no difference to me as I only shoot raw.
I cant set iso above 12800 the larger values not highlighted anyone know how to set the camera to higher settings?
You need to work in jpg mode. Higher ISO values are simply a "push" of the digital file.
Great video!
Do you know if they updated it so that you don't have to change to jpeg to preview the different aspect ratio's? I'm about to buy one and flick between different ratios all the time in RAW on my Nikon, I wasnt expecting to find that out!..kind of annoying :(
Cheers, Alex. Unfortunately, no updates yet. The big Fujifilm event is on Tuesday, so let's hope there's a little Kaizen love for the points I've raised.
Hi, I have never used a Fuji camera until now. I am having a terrible time The front and rear dials don't do anything. I shoot 90% of the time on aperture priority. The only way I can use it on this camera is to turn the aperture ring. I can't assign it to the C on the ring.
That's going to vary camera to camera and lens to lens. I'd recommend looking in your manual for how your camera should behave and checking the command dial settings in the menu to assign functions to those. They are context sensitive, so you may not be able to make use of them in certain situations.
Mine just arrived with a dead battery it appears to have an in camera charging. You could have started the video with battery issues.
While I understand your frustration, that's not something I've experienced and can't really put it in my own review.
What is the app you're using to connect the camera to the phone? Or is it just Bluetooth?
Just the Fujifilm app.
Thanks very much.
Can u use Fujinon 150-600 on GFX 100s?
No it's impossible. Mainly because the 150-600 is designed for a much smaller sensor.
Thanks for the detailed look! This would be my first Fuji so any settings details are helpful. I have a 100S on preorder and should arrive this month; i would love to get this question answered before i pay the full amount for it:
In the C1-6 modes, can you save ANY of the Quick menu options to each C mode? Specifically, could I have C1 be RAW, and no crop, but then have C2 be Raw+JPEG, with a Film Sim, and also a smaller crop? My thought is, I shoot wide a lot, and i will miss my Sony 12-24mm lens, but if I can set a smaller 35mm or other crop in a C mode on the 100S, i could use one of the Laowa wides as a prime 17mm, but also make it a 22mm equivalent or something just by switching to a different C mode on the dial, without switching lenses. Does that make sense? lol. That would be super helpful before i go drop the money. Even if you don’t make a video about it, I’d love to hear a comment on the possibility. Thank you!
Lastly, btw, you sold me on the Laowa in your earlier review! I am thinking that plus the 32-64 to start, then the 250 later, followed by the 1.4x extender.
Hi Jesse,
I'll definitely take a look at these options. Never having owned a camera with custom modes on the dials, I'll be interested to see how they function as well.
Over the next few days, I'll be taking the GFX on a couple of jobs and just doing some walking around the city with it. I should be able to give you an idea of how those work some time soon.
Will investigate further, but the short answer here is "yes".
@@DylanGoldbyPhotographer thank you so much! Looking forward to more videos! Sub’d!
Thanks for video! Every time I half press shutter button, camera closes apereture and shows me preview with actual F number. How can I turn off that function?
As far as I know, you can't. Someone else here may have knowledge of a setting that allows this function.
@@DylanGoldbyPhotographer Thanks for answer, u are right :(
I meet today the gfx 100s... 9200 Australian dollars. I live it maybe tomorrow.......
It's not a cheap camera, that's for sure!
Lost you already on how to pair with smart phone
@Dylan Goldby, Palestinians too need support. Do you have links to share to sign a petition?
I wish that I did! If you find some, I would love for you to add them here!
顺天者存，逆妻者亡！😄😄😄
Thanks Dylan, does your Nikon F mount steelsrling adaptor still work with the new 100s?
Hi Charlie,
Unfortunately, that's actually one of the pieces of gear I sold to fund this purchase. I assume it would as it worked just fine with the 50S, 50R, and 100. If it doesn't just yet, I'm sure the man will update the firmware to make it compatible.
