    Great video Pete. Are all the settings that you made saved to C1? I'm a little unclear what settings are saved to C1 and which are not. Once setting are setup do you have to press a save button to save to a custom preset (C1, C2..) Thanks for all your effort.

    "Release priority" decides if the camera takes a photo even when its blurry, not AF S.

    • @PeteCocoPhoto
      @PeteCocoPhoto  2 года назад +1

      Correct, but by default AF-S is set to not let the camera take a picture until focus is achieved. You can change this with that setting. In the old days, that was one of the main differences between AF-S and AF-C. Personally, I'm not sure why one would want to set it to release in single shot when focus ins't achieved.

    • @pkolloch
      @pkolloch Год назад

      You said that was your main reason to use AF-C: rather take the shot than not at all.
      I think your reasoning here is inconsistent but we come to the same conclusion: use AF-C

    • @demonsaint1296
      @demonsaint1296 Год назад +2

      With the focus peaking I leave on red as well. On occasion, when in manual focus, I have switched to a Black and White JPEG which allowed the red to stand out even more. I also have the RAF file which stays in color for later editing.

Went to touch screen, turned it to on, then to af symbol. I touch the screen, and nothing. Camera is the X-h2s.

    Great video Pete, really well done and helpful, but it’s not working for me, I’m trying to set it just like you, but I can’t even find the word menu on my Olympus OM-1 film camera from 1978. I'm almost ready to pull the trigger on the X-T5 (upgrading from the 4), I'm waiting for trusted reviews. Be well and stay safe.

    • @PeteCocoPhoto
      @PeteCocoPhoto  2 года назад +1

      Did you try turning it off and on again? haha I always loved the OM-1, what a great camera! On the plus side, all of the AF settings I discuss are going to be similar in the X-T5. These are the settings I've used in my X-T4 although the joystick in that camera works better than in the X-H2, and hopefully the 5 is similar. Thanks for watching as always Enrique!

    Hi, I have recently got an XH2 and today went through your whole video. Thank you, this was helpful. I sometimes do food photography for my restaurant and I always wanted to be able to see my shoots in real time on a bigger monitor, to check focus. However I usually edit my Raw files on an ipad pro using lightroom mobile which does not support tethering. I see in this video you are using a small monitor showing you the camera screen in bigger format. I think that would be a great solution for what i need. I can not find it in your gear list in the description. May i ask please what it is? Thank you!

    • @PeteCocoPhoto
      @PeteCocoPhoto  9 месяцев назад

      Thanks! I am using an Atmos ninja 5 which is a video recording monitor. However, I would suggest you try capture one pro for iPad. That is a great tethering solution.

    I don't know best settings but I know worst: AF+MF setting is a "bug". When set camera will release immediately after press button fully independent of AF-s or AF-c with focus priority. Cost me 300 out of focus photos on a Party 🤣

      Thanks, Robb. Up until the new Fuji cameras, I have used Canon as my main studio camera and Fuji as my backup on the field for things like candids and event photography. But, having picked up an XT5, I've used it at recent portrait sessions and couldn't be happier with it in terms of image quality and autofocus, which is vastly improved over the XT4. I'm considering making a complete switch to Fuji this year so we will see what happens. Thanks for watching!

    Tracking in AF all mode is NOT necessary for face/eye tracking. You can use it in the other modes as well.
    While you for sure have tons more practical experience than most and a lot to teach, their are some incorrect statements in this video which probably make the audience understand less about the AF options they have.

    • @PeteCocoPhoto
      @PeteCocoPhoto  Год назад +3

      I'm open to making mistakes at times and I learn a lot from the comments. These are the settings that have worked well for me, so people can choose to try them or not. I don't see where I said you must be in AF All mode for face/eye tracking but if I did that was an error.
