Thank you I bought my xt30 a year ago and took it on a family trip to San Diego, I shoot mainly in Auto mode because I had no experience in photography... I got into film 6 months ago and finally decided to set up my fuji xt30, now I understand a little more and with this set up I thing a can make better pictures now. (I also purchased a new 23mm f2 prime lens) thanks again for your help!
I have the X-T20. It is a cheap, if somewhat delicate, great little camera. I also have an X-T2 and X100T. I also have a Nikon D810, which mostly collects dust, but I still use it in certain situations.
Helpful video. For a serious amateur (85% photos, 15% video) would you prefer the xt30 ii or xs10? I'm also considering the xpro2. (Dont like LCD on xpro3)
That stuff because those cameras are so different. This is going to sound trivial but the size of your hands would be a big factor for me. The x pro 2 fits so much better in your hand than the XT30. On the other hand, if you want something it's really small and compact then.... 🙂
Sir honestly, mine one stuck to F22 and I am not able to change.. and in starting of your video you have shown Black and white photo.. how to click that in x T30
@@saketgaurav1355 did you ever figure this out? Im trying to get into photography and this damn aperature setting is so damn frustrating to figure out.
@@idiotbrownie1525 yes ..I hit 🎯 a bull's eye 😎.. front button (top Right from lens) is for ISO nd Aperture both..(you have to press the button for change
@@BoorayPerry It depends, if you don't own any 3rd party lenses keep it off, if you manage to not completely mount the lens the camera will at least refuse to fire the shutter so you can try to figure out what's wrong.
when i am using the xt 30 in the studio and the camera settings are iso 100 shutter 125 aperature it is not possible to see through the lens therefore not possible to compose an image can you help
Why my screen is showing white like it can see light but I can’t see objects idk if the lens is covered I took off the part that covers the lens help I’m a begginer
I’m not seeing why this camera couldn’t be a main camera shooting professionally..You need IBIS to shoot professionally? You need weather sealing to shoot professionally? Duel card slots? It must just be me because I don’t feel that I need any of that stuff to shoot. You also mention all the settings and how Fuji knows what an image looks like so these settings are left alone..isn’t Fuji KNOWN for film simulations? Does Fuji offer Cinestill 800T? Portra 400? That’s the purpose of those settings…so that people can mimick their favorite film stocks.
You understand that this video is my opinion as a pro, not the ten commandments. If you want to shoot professionally without weather sealing, IBIS and backups go ahead. If you unpack a camera and immediately start customizing the setting to mimic a film stock, great. There's no wrong answer here. This is just what I do, you do you. :)
@@BoorayPerry Comment wasn’t directed towards you. I just see a lot of people talk as if this camera isn’t capable of being used professionally because it lacks things like dual skits, IBIS, etc
@@BoorayPerry On some cameras you can set the focus point to stop moving at the edge of the screen, when you are moving the focus point from left to right or top to bottom. On the x-t30, when you try this the focus point wraps around to the other side of the screen. I could not find out to to prevent the wrap around. Nikons have this setting (on or off) in the menu.
@@BoorayPerry I could not find it in the operations/owners manual. so I thought maybe someone else knows the answer. That is why I asked the question. I am guessing that it can not be turned off. I have watched three videos on the X-t30 and no-one has addressed the subject. Thanks for your response.
But I'm sure you're going to switch to T-S10 sooner or later as soon as the price point of X-S10 goes down. I just sold my X-T30 on switching to X-S10. It's an entirely different photography (and videography) experience. The benefit you would get from IBIS is tremendous, and I'm sure you will miss it after you switch from X-T4 to X-T30 momentarily. I also switched to X-S10 because I can use it as a webcam. Fuji does not support X-T30 with their webcam software for PC and Mac. BTW I carry X-100V with me all of the time for street photography.
I don't doubt anything that you are saying but you have to remember that my goal is to never ever actually use the x-t30. I kept my last backup camera in my bag for 10 years and used it once and even then it was only for about five minutes
Excellent video! This helped this new to Fujifilm X-T30ii user soooo much!!! Thank you.
Thank you for this precious video. It helped me to start very quick with this wonderful camera, going to the essentials straight ahead.
Thank you for this precious comment! :)

I’m so glad you’re all in on Fujifilm now. I can’t wait for all the fujiLove to keep rolling out of your channel and the podcast!
I just purchased the t30ii with a kit lens, but it doesn’t give me the option to turn grain effect on and off… help?
I don't have mine anymore but maybe they removed it from the new version?
I just buy my xt30ii on Dec but mine also same i cant turn on the grain effect so i cant set or save my own film recipe 😢
@@mynmunira1400 maybe your file type is set to RAW? it’s probably related to another setting that doesn’t allow grain.
@@mynmunira1400RUclips it.
You mentioned a video on ISO settings with a link but I don’t believe a link appeared. Can you post one please? Many thanks! (Great videos!!!)
I did a video on "what is ISO" maybe that's the one?
The Q button is in a horrible position where I constantly bump it
I do like the fill in flash though

Found the video very helpful! Thank you....
Great summary, did for a second wonder why the video was still playing when a blue screen of death appeared!
Great setup video!
Some of the setting are grayed off and I can not make any change. Does anyone know why.
Are you in an "auto" mode?
Thank you, very helpful
what about aperture setting?
Aperture is variable. You change it all the time.
Sir honestly, mine one stuck to F22 and I am not able to change.. and in starting of your video you have shown Black and white photo.. how to click that in x T30
You need to start by reading the manual. Most of what you need is in there.

Baba Booray
In LA Boure is a popular Cajun card game.
"Shoot without lens" should be "ON" - to allow third party lenses function on the camera
Did I get that backwards? Well that's the only mistake I make it'll be a miracle 🤣

I'm afraid not. I would have to see the camera to figure it out.
xt30 in a small hip bag with a 23 1.4 and the xt-4 with a zoom is how i roll

Change your settings to Auto and see if it still does it. If it does then you have a problem with the camera
@@BoorayPerry I called the anger and she said I need to buy a lense to see cause I just bought the camera just the body

The XT30ii is not a hobby camera, it definitely can be used professionally.
I just got my XT30 and somehow mucked up the language... cannot figure out how to reset it to English. Any suggestions folks?
use any live translation app
Fuji camera set up
AF point wraparound?
What do you mean?

So you chose X-T30 to be X-T4 backup. Why didn't you choose X-S10? X-S10 with IBIS feature makes a full backup to your X-T4.
Price. That only is the xt30 less expensive when you buy it new, you can also buy one used much easier.
But I'm sure you're going to switch to T-S10 sooner or later as soon as the price point of X-S10 goes down. I just sold my X-T30 on switching to X-S10.
