Fuji X-T3 Exposure Bracketing Setup Tutorial
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 ноя 2024
- Learn how to set a Fujifilm X-T3 to Automatic Exposure Bracketing (AEB) for HDR shooting. The tutorial will show you how to set the drive dial to BKT, navigate through the Fuji X-T3 menu to find the Bracketing Settings menu, then set the number of bracketed frames and EV step spacing. You'll also learn how to check the AEB setup using the Exposure Compensation Dial, then take all 3 bracketed exposures by pressing the shutter release once.
That was one of the clearest, most comprehensible tutorials I have ever seen. Thank you for being so thorough!
You are welcome! I am glad you like it so much.
Holy cow finally a tutorial one can actually follow
2 thumbs up
If only all tutorials were this good.
Hey, I'd been using film cameras for years and when I bought my Nikon Df, I felt soooo clueless about the new digital setings and techniques. I also bough a Fuji XT-3 (March 2022) and I still learning all its features. This video is incredibly amazing yet very easy to follow! Now figital cameras has so many features that we pay dearly but have no idea how to start or how to use it. Thanks for sharing!!!
Agree with the comments. So many other videos whip through menu settings so fast you can't follow it. This is so clear and well-paced. Subscribing. Thanks!
Great video. Just bought this to shoot interiors for the company I work for. Can't wait to get going.
Absolutely amazing video!! Please feel free to do more videos 😊 In this format you will be helping HEAPS of people. Loved the video, thank you!!
Wow, that was great , I was going crazy trying to figure this out
Your walk through made it easy
Thank you
Thanks, this was a good tutorial. It works similar on the xt20, except the number of frames is present to 3.
Easy, clear, straight forward ! Wonderful!!
Brilliant. I don't like HDR or use Photomatix (sorry) but have set this up to photograph an important event tonight. FAR better than the manual. Thank you.
Thank you, and we wish you good luck with your photos :-)
Best tutorial ever!!!
This was super helpful. Thank you!
Great teaching video. Excellent, thanks.
If you set your camera for a 2 second delay, will the XT3 take a bracketed shot with just one touch of the shutter button???
Yes, it will. As long as the camera is set up like in this video, i.e. Drive Setting > AEB BKT > Continuous and the Drive dial to BKT, plus in the menu > Shooting Setting > Self-Timer to 2 SEC.
@@PhotomatixHDR Thank you!
Here for the eclipse 😁 cheers
Great video.. Thank you...
Question: Does it matter what metering mode I should be on or does it even matter?
2nd question: I have a wide angle manual lens (Laowa 9mm zero distortion) do I just leave it at, lets say, f/stop 5.6 and leave shutter and ISO on Automatic?
Thank you in advance
Hi @Gabe Queza,
These are good questions :-)
Question 1: The metering mode among other factors determines if the middle exposure is exposed normally or rather over-/underexposed when the camera is set to A.
Setting the metering mode to [.] (spot) can cause over- or underexposure when an area is aimed that is not a middle gray (18%) in brightness.
For a more safe setting, I'd rather use [ ] (average) and correct the exposure visually if needed (or using the histogram).
Question 2: Yes, setting the aperture to whatever you like, then exposing automatically or rather manually (following what you decided during metering) is recommended for a manual lens.
Do not let the camera alter the ISO settings as this may result in different image noise, which in turn can cause issues during processing.
@@PhotomatixHDR Thank you so much...yes, now i know why i was getting so much noise and too dark of an image. my ISO was set to auto...So for well lit interior do you suggest an ISO of lets say 800?
Thank you so much again for taking the time to answer these questions.
@@gabequezada2066 Personally, I wouldn't go higher than ISO 400. Keep in mind when bracketing, the underexposed photos are more notorious for noise than the well-lit or overexposed photos.
@@PhotomatixHDR again..ty so much
Can you save this onto one of the function buttons so to save time on future occasions?
can the camera shoot all the photos, say if i choose 9 pix, automatically w/o me have to keep my finger on the button?
btw,,GREAT tutorial
also, when i merge the images can i choose which images to merge. for instance if i want to use 4 of the 9 images
@Milt K Yes, this should be feasible by setting up the self-timer.
This video tutorial shows how to do it:
ruclips.net/video/Otbd6orAKPQ/видео.html
Yes, when loading the images into Photomatix Pro you could leave out the 5 shots you don't intend to merge. Make sure the spacing between the exposures you use is not greater than 2 EV.
nice setting
Thank you so much for such a great tutorial...now I have a question. I saw a tutorial for the Sony A7III..in that camera you can set the time between shots for the braketing...is there any way we can do that on the XT3?...I'm thrying to shoot with flash i manual mode but the shots are taken so fast the flash can not recyvle fast enough. I would appreciate any suggestion i that regard.
Hi @francisco salazar, I am glad you like the video.
Concerning your question about flash bracketing, you could set up the bracketing options so that the camera takes only one frame at a time when you press the shutter button. This let you manually determine the interval giving the flash light its time to refresh.
To do that go to SHOOTING SETTING > DRIVE SETTING > BKT SETTING > AE BKT > BKT Options > 1 Frame/Continuous and choose "1 Frame".
Under BKT SETTING > Focus BKT (i.e. bracketing type Focus Bracketing) it is even possible to set the interval between shots. But I am not familiar with it, and if you can possibly misuse Focus Bracketing for your purpose by setting the lens to manual.
You'll find more info in the user manual here...

crystal clear. danke!
Bitte!
Hi sir good morning from India .. Andhra Pradesh
This wasn’t covered in the video, but I’m struggling to find one where it is and wondered if this information might overlap. My question is, is there an automatic HDR or bracketing applied to low or high shooting modes all the time? I would like to switch it off, and cannot figure out how to. I want to be able to shoot in CH mode or CL mode and not have 2-3 extra shots added to the already 4-11 shots I’m taking. Does that make sense? I don’t need to do any HDR post I just want to shoot action with bursts but not have them have 3 shots for each one within that burst. I have been struggling with this for DAYS. Will happily send pictures or explain further if someone/anyone sees this comment and knows how to help. Thank you community!!
Hello,
concerning your first question, please double-check if Dynamic Range Priority isn't enabled accidentally.
=> Menu > I.Q. > Image Quality > D Range Priority > Off
This should disable any automatic contrast reduction.
=> As long as you switched the Drive dial to CL or CH the camera shouldn't take any brackets.
=> Unless your shooting scenarios require automatic exposure make sure to shoot in Manual mode to avoid unwanted effects or at least choose shutter priority AE and pre-dial the desired shutter speed for action shots
Bonjour,
hank's a lot. Merci beaucoup
Thank you!
amazing tutorial style
Glad you think so!
Is there a way to merge them in camera?
Hi @matangox,
The Fuji X-T3 does not have a built-in HDR function.
Automatic exposure bracketing, as presented in this video, is meant to merge the images and HDR adjust them in an external app like Photomatix.
You cannot merge the photo thru your camera? Right? We need apps?
@jon banders Yes, you will need an app like Photomatix to merge the exposures taken with the X-T3.
Clearest for me.
Can it shoot RAW with Automatic Exposure Bracketing?
Yes, the Fujifilm X-T3 can shoot RAW when Automatic Exposure Bracketing is activated.
I have a Laowa 9mm 2.8 lens for my xt3. It is a manual lens. Where do i need focus for 1st photo for exposure?
With 9mm you can normally focus on something just 2 or 3 feet from the camera, all should be in focus using about f/8. Please test what works best for your equipment.
sir i am facing a problem of noise in photo as i am a wedding photographer in INDIA my last shoots were not good at all. there was so much of noise in those photos
Is it Same with t-100
Hi NIVEDITA SAHA. The procedures for setting AEB Fuji X-t100 seem a bit different, you can find the instructions here:
fujifilm-dsc.com/en-int/manual/x-t100/taking_photo/bracketing/index.html
Maybe, that camera did glue together 3 photos in one?
Thanks!!!!
How do you do hyperlapse with this camera..? And how to select shutter speed to 1/50 for 24 fps..?
To shoot hyperlapse/timelapse movie you'll set the built-in interval timer. Choose MENU/Ok > SHOOTING SETTING > INTERVAL TIMER SHOOTING. There set the INTERVAL (time between each photo taken) to the desired value in seconds. Depending on the motion of your talent choose 1 to 3 seconds. Choosing 2 means: 48 seconds of real time motion will take 2 seconds in the video at a 24 frame rate. Set the START WAITING TIME to 0 (immediate start when pressing Menu/OK) and the NUMBER OF TIMES to infinity. Pressing the Menu/Ok button starts the timelapse. Just stop the interval timer when done with a sequence to capture all the action.
Setting 1/48s at 24fps: Set the mode to Movie Mode first (left mode dial). Then set the shutter speed to 1/60 sec. using the top shutter speed dial. Finally fine tune the shutter speed with the thumb dial on the rear side until the small blue 'S.S.' indicator on the lower display shows 'S.S. 48'.
@@PhotomatixHDR wow.. thanks a lot.. that's really helpful. Subbed.
I like
huh, damn, can't adjust the bracketing step sizes because me right key acts as "ok" =_=
👍🏻👍🏻
It looks like you can go higher than 3 bracketed frames, as high as 7. Is this correct? Would there be any advantage to doing this?.
That's correct, the Fuji X-T3 can shoot up to 9 bracketed frames in AEB mode.
Whether you need more than 3 frames depends on the contrast in your scene. If you are taking an interior that is quite dark while bright light is coming from the window, for instance, you'll likely need more than 3.

I am thinking of getting this camera. In your opinion, it is the best camera for HDR?
@@PhotomatixHDR l
👍🏻
+-3 photos should have resulted 7 exposures.
Thanks and all but is this for blind photographers? We know how to scroll lol!! But thanks really
I am glad you liked the video.
That was one of the clearest, most comprehensible tutorials I have ever seen. Thank you for being so thorough!
