Simple Settings for the X-T5 & other Fujifilm Cameras
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- These are my camera settings for the Fujifilm X-T5, but what you'll find is that these settings can be applied to a lot of other Fujifilm cameras, old and new. These are settings for how I like to approach street photography. They won't necessarily work for you, but if you need a place to start hopefully this can help.

OMG that drive lock thing is a life saver! I can't remember how many times I've had my camera (X-T3 before and now X-T5) in the bag and the drive mode dial had moved to something other than single shot and I only noticed it after taking one shot. This video is really helpful, thank you for making it and thank you for using such a chill background music that makes taking on the information easier with the calm environment.
This video has been immensely helpful! The combination of AF-C and tracking AF works really well on my X-T3. I won't have to fiddle with my focus point on the street anymore. Thanks so much :)
i just have one question: when you continue to press on the button does the focus point stay in one (as faizal) or does it divide into mani little point?
One thing I really like about Fuji is how you can turn on or off information around the screen. A few weeks ago I almost switched to Sony and one of the things I immediately missed was this ability. They do have a button to switch between view modes, some with LOTS of info and some with minimal info. But the ability to just turn off individual things is so nice!
Indeed, but that's because Sony is not a brand who cares for the experienced and enjoyment of photography, only the results.
Really good tip tolock the exposure compensation dial, willdo that on all my fujis. So many times Ive taken the camera out of the bag and that button have been turned by accident. Agree, with the idea of having a physical lock on that button. I have tried to setup my cameras similar to each other and I tend to run out of buttons. That D pad button is my favourite,
I've been shooting with Fuji for many years now - but I've learned a lot again today! Above all, I think your tip on how to block functions is fantastic (even if it doesn't work consistently, e.g. not with the dials). I'm definitely in favor of a simple, functional camera that doesn't get in my way when I'm shooting, but supports me. Thanks for this and the many other excellent videos! Greetings from Switzerland.
I am just holding my brand new XT5 in my hands and was hoping for some inspiration on YT. But this video not only truly inspires me but actually relaxed me totally - thanks to the great tone of your calming voice and the curated back ground music. Really appreciated!
I didn't even know I could lock the still/movie and shooting mode dials. It drove me mad evrytime these dials moved when changing my exposure setting. Thank you so much
I didn't know about the lock feature for quite a long time too lol
Nice video as usual Faizal. I tend to shoot in the same modes - especially aperture priority however you are missing a trick by setting shutter speed to auto and then set the base shutter speed in the auto ISO setting - let it bottom out at around 1/250 (or whatever) and then your only variable is ISO. It will only drop below that if there is too little light and the ISO has maxxed.
Thanks for that tip!
Just got my first Fuji yesterday. I find this video helpful because I work with Nikon system. Fuji is awesome! It want to take images non-stop!
Faizal, really excellent, thought-provoking video. I’ve just added an X-T50 (gave up waiting for an X100VI😀) to go alongside my OM-1 and your suggestions will make it easier to adapt to the new camera.
One of the things that I do for the ISO range is set the Minimum shutter speed to 200-250 so it never drops below that usually helps with the motion blur.
This is not true for Fuji 'x' range of cameras and Auto ISO. The camera calculates the settings and uses the Minimum shutter speed as a rough guide. It will first try to use the maximum ISO setting, but if this is not enough, it will then lower the the shutter speed, no matter what you have set before. The only way to bypass that is to use manual shutter speed, or a more suitable lens.
Absolutely ❤️❤️
I'm impressed I've found someone who shoot Astia. Everyone always shoots classic chrome, and it's the only simulation I don't use at all. I hate it, so it's hard to relate to other fujifilm content.
before i got my XT5 and got my grubby little hands on nostalgic neg i was an astia shooter, never been much of a fan of classic chrome tbh. now it’s nostalgic neg for me p much 24/7
Thank you for your calm and wise words!
Great video Faizal 👍gonna try some of this stuff 🙂 wish Fuji would implement a 4:3 aspect ratio in the menu 🙁
That would be awesome!
Thank you, Faizal. You are a blessing. 🙂
i use a canon 1Dx 2 for street photo, but i always like hearing you talk about camera stuff. thanks.
This video definitely helps me going into the fuji system 🙌🏻
Very educative and valuable as usual from a true artist .
Thanks for the useful video! I’ll definitely come back to this when I get a xt5 myself.
How do you decide when to shoot black and white over color? Or do you change that in photoshop or something?
Thank you for this great video! Just got the X-S20 and these settings feel like a solid starting point. I really enjoy your videos overall! 😊
Great vid, thanks! I'll be coming back to re-watch this one.
Love the vibe you’re transporting in your videos^^ And of course, thanks for sharing your thoughts and perspectives about your settings ☺️
Great video, thanks! But one thing: You set AF + MF ON for a reason. But if you do that, focus priority switches back to release priority, which can provoke more unsharp photos. I think, this should be mentioned for people, who are wondering about unsharp photos then.
How pointless would it be to manually adjust the focus and then have the camera not release? You choose manual focus when you might deliberately misfocus or the AF might be slower or unsuitable in a situation.
Cool tips! I never understood what the point of back button focusing is? What is the benefit, really? You still need to press the shutter button, so why using two different buttons instead of a single one?
Great video. Very well done as far as explaining things clearly. Thanks
Excellent video ! It's impressive how everything it thoughfully set. That helps me, even if this if for my X100V :) Thanks a lot for the Debussy's Arabesque at the end. One of my fav composers ever.
Nice work, useful insights.
Love love loved this video
Great video and I dig the flag in the background at 15:27“
Your video is really helpful to me, I always use Canon, its my first time using a Fujifilm.
this is SUPER helpful, I just got a XT-5, coming from a basic Nikon dslr camera, so i was pretty lost...
please give me the same manual for Sony A7IV settings when you use it in video mode and working with logarithms, for beginners)
Excellent, thanks for this topic.
5:18, love it.
Love the music. Debussy? New to Fujifilm, tips are very good. I'm learning.
i like how you fiddle with the exposure compensation at the end of the video after explaining it doesn't do anything :))) great video keep it up
Lol it's now a fiddle switch for my anxiety.
Thank you man! Been having difficulty to set my fuji, some of the dials ruins my settings :(
Hi Faizal! Great video! Can you share your AF-C Custom Settings too? Thank you in advance! 🙏
I've just been using Setting 1 with the default tracking sensitivity!
Great video Faizal, even though I don't own a Fuji anymore I came for the pictures and there are, like you said, some things that can carry over different systems so it's always interesting to see how other photographers set their tools. Keep up the excellent work!
Just discovered your account. Great Videos. Very much like your calm style. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Faizal, really enjoyed your video the X-T5 is the camera I'm thinking of up grading too!
Out of interest, what lens hood do you have on your 35mm f/2? I like the vent which would be useful when using the X-Pro 2/3
Thanks
It looks like the square hood brand.
Can you please do a review or a hands on video on the new sigma that you are using
Thank you!
Excuse me, my X-T5 is in the AF-C continuous focus mode. When the shutter is half-pressed, the brightness of the camera screen will be relatively dim. When the shutter is released, it will be restored. Is there a setting error? Do you have the same situation, thank you for your answer.
What music are you using in all your videos? Can I have a list? I love it at so much
When I use AF wide tracking on my X100V I see small green focus points.. that doesn't seem to be the case with the XT-5? 12:40
can you do a video about photo editing? That would be so interesting
Bro, I want to ask, how to adjust the ISO aperture and SS settings in photo mode so that when you switch to video mode, the ISO aperture and SS don't change, how do you do it... the problem is that the X-H1 fits even when you move to photo/video mode, the ISO aperture and SS settings remains the same. If the X-t5 switches to video aperture mode, etc. it changes again
Fab video Faizal as usual. Where di you buy ex-2?
Should I be using auto focus lock? AF on still refocuses on other things
Hey Faizal, i would like to ask you if theres any, more affordable digital camera and lens what you recommend for streetphotography? Really love your style!
Use your phone, I wish I did that instead of investing into a camera almost immediately
would you please explain to me the reasoning behind turning off Interlock spot & focusing area in more details?
Sure! Essentially it means when that is on, the "spot" of where the camera meters for exposure would be the same exact spot as wherever the focus point is. Having it off means they are separate so for example I can meter for my highlights and then if I use tracking AF, my meter point won't move with the focus point. It will still be on the highlights. Hope that makes a bit more sense :)
When shooting Aperture Priority Mode on Fujis. Is there a way to set a limit to the shutter speed? (i.e No slower than 1/60s)
Yea! In the iso menu settings, it should be the 3rd option for “min shutter speed”
In Semi-Automatic, you changed to Spot Metering, then pressed the AE-L lock button and snapped the shutter, but you didn’t seem to press the AF-L button for back button focus, how come?
Do you leave IBIS on for the majority of your shooting? I couldn't find this in the video.
Hi Faizal, thnx for the tips how you set-up ur XT5 👍🏼 You mentioned that you use Astia in ur liveview ánd you use it in LR. I also like Astia, how do you make sure that Astia is the setting for ur liveview and how do you apply it in LR when you shoot in RAW? So mainly…what is ur workflow concerning getting the “Astia-look”? Furthermore I don’t have presets (yet) in LR, how/where do I get them in LR, or are they already somewhere in LR? Thnx!
If you shoot RAW on the Fuji, You will have access to all of the film simulations in Lightroom via the color profiles menu! I recommend doing a google search of Lightroom Color Profile Film Simulation and you should find a detailed tutorial on how to find it :)
Hi John. Film sim option are at the top in the profile setting, lr as standard use adobe profile which is a little rough around the edges , is you click there you will scroll down and see camera matching and all Fuji film sims are in there… better still is go into preferences and you can select an option for LR to apply camera profile on import, so it respects your choice in camera so on import it apply what ever film simulation you have set in camera. Capture one has done this automatically since version 11 but Lightroom just does its own thing. I would advise a trial of capture one pro as it handles Fuji files better, LR is catching up but still better
@@karlbratby4349 Hi Karl, thnx for your tips, I’ll try them out. I already (have) had Capture One, I still have version 10 somewhere, but don’t use it. I just can’t work with it, it’s too difficult when importing and cataloging photo’s, it made a mess out of my files, LR does this much simpeler :-)
@@FaizalWestcott thnx!
I can’t figure out how to manual focus when in AFC, I have on AF+MF but I can’t get that to work.
Thanks for the breakdown! Do you also use back buttons focus when shooting from the hip?
I don't shoot from the hip, but for all AF I use back button focus
Hi
I have an xt3 and I have a video focusing question
I want to be able to Use touch to focus while recording video but when in manual mode it wont let me.
When I change focusing to S mode I can touch to fucus while recoding but cant see any focus peaking
I want to be able to use Focus peaking and touch to focus while recording in 1 mode, how can I achieve this?
Thank you
What is the process like switching between photo and video on the T5? Is it pretty seamless to go from photos to shooting in f log, or is there a lot of adjusting to get back and forth? I know you just flip the switch to get into video mode, but I'm curious if there are other settings that need to be adjusted before you can start shooting
Do you use zone focusing when shooting full manual?
Mostly I just manually focus, but yes it's possible but it might not be as accurate as using a native lens on a film camera for example
Great idea to get rid of all the functions. Specifically I hit accidentally the Dpad on my XT2 all the time. Never considered to assign nothing to it
Hey! Great work. I have a beginners level question, I don't have fujifilm yet (blame the budget) but I'd just like to know if you use any grid when taking pictures and if so which one do you use. Thanks and I love your photography and videos.
I don't use any grid, but if you want to use one, I'd say use the rule of thirds grid!
is that af wide trick with single pt focus/ continuous tracking available for the XT4?
what lenshood is that on the silver lens?
Where's your silver lens hood from?
hey ! XF 18-55 mm f/2,8 or 35mm f1.4 for street photo ? thx
Do do you use Auto focus C or S?
Hi what lens do you usemostly for street photography for xt-5?
how do you get these colours in your videos? Flog? Eterna? thanks man
do u knoiw that u can use film simulation on raw in capture one ?
I see you carry your X-T5 on a strap by your side sometimes. Have you considered the Fuji EC-XT S eye cup so it doesn’t press into your body that much?
I never have! Thanks for suggesting it, I might try it
I can't use AF+MF in continuous mode only in MF and Single. Is that the same for you?
Hi Faizal, do you use eye detection when doing streets?
Hey there!
Which lens are u using (square hooded one)
I decided to buy the XT30 II after weeks of consideration as my very first camera and your videos helped so much! May I ask which lens you would advise for the start? The camera comes in two "Kits", one with the XC 15-45 mm lens and one with the 18-55mm. I would love to use the camera for my upcoming trip to England to shoot villages, houses, streets, churches, the beach. As I am just starting, I don't want to switch lenses all the time. I was recommended to go with the 18-55mm (but they did not have the kit with the 15-45mm in stock :-)). Do you think the 15-45mm would be ok to start or would I never forgive myself afterwards for missing the "better" option 18-55mm? Or would you recommend any other lens over the two mentioned above?
Any advise would be so much appreciated! Thank you!
The 18-55mm lens is a fantastic lens, much better than the 'Kit Lens" label suggests, wondering what you chose before coming to my part of the world.
Great tips! I’ve had my xt5 for about a month and I’m still tweaking the setting but this has helped me get a lot closer to something I’ll settle on.
Quick question… do you shoot with your glasses on? I’ve found that it’s actually easier to see the viewfinder with the eyepiece removed from the camera. It allows me to get closer to it while wearing glasses. With it on, I need to be at the perfect angle so the edges aren’t masking the image. Curious if you’ve tried this or have any thoughts?
I've never tried that! I always felt like it would scratch my lens, haha. Might try it some time! thanks :)
Anyone know where did he get the square lens hood for the 35mm
I don't get it. You actually propose to use 3 buttons (AF, AEL, Shutter) together with spot metering as a point and shoot method, instead of just half pressing the shutter button to focus and lock exposure. Why? Using the back buttons for autofocus and exposure lock is a more complicated procedure for street/point and shoot photography. You also say that you use program mode but your camera is on manual mode on the screen...
gREAT vIDEo Brooo
I’ve noticed that my X-T5 has a buffer of about a second after each shot when in single shot, so I just keep it in Continuous Low and there’s no buffer. Anyone else have this issue?
Do you have clarity turned on?
Great video! How do you feel about the massive file sizes for RAW from the X-T5? Honestly that’s what’s holding me back upgrading from the X-T2 (I have so many full hard drives 😂)
try switching the raw file format to 'lossless compressed' in the camera menu, this can shave off plenty of MB from each file without sacrificing quality
Hey Faizal, love your videos 🫶🏼 Wanting to start my photography journey and not sure what camera to purchase, what would you recommend for a beginner? Thanks!
how do you feel about the Sigma 18-50 2.8?
I got it purely for video and travel and it's been a pleasant surprise. I do wish it had the aperture ring like my other Fujis. That's probably the only downside so far
@@FaizalWestcott The photos from the New York walk were amazing! Do you have the Fuji version of the 18-55 ?
X-T5 is one sexy camera 😍
What’s interesting is everyone loves that button focus but I don’t so I don’t use it. I’m still that squeeze focus and take Guy. It is been my weigh so I won’t use back button focus but many people swear by it I actually gave it ago and didn’t like it. So I don’t use it. Majority of work I do is landscape photography so I don’t really need to do Back but in focus anyway as I’m off and having the camera on a tripod and then I’m using a trigger remote, but even then when I do Street Photography, I’m not a fan of Back button … He just doesn’t work for me. I never use auto ISO either as I feel the camera doesn’t choose the right eye so is often way too high for my liking.
Choke Talker!!
Good Vid, but your voice is like you don’t enjoy what you’re doing😊
Fuji users tends to over dramatize their camera settings lens and camera type way too much, too much focused on the gear instead of photography itself.
Quite the opposite, usually.
That's a big ass generalization my dude
Is it opposites day?
I wouldn't call this video over dramatizing, but you could say that about any user of any brand. Such a tired take.
@@Rumplestiltskin7 There are tones of videos outthere in regards to the subject matter.
Why do you speak with a grilled voice ? Actually nobody talk like that, it's an affectation of the voice used by annoying teenagers and rich people. Why ?
Learned a lot! I really like the music around 1:45, would you please tell me the name of that song? Thanks.
What lens hood is that on 35mm?
Hi, thank you for this tutorial. However, could you suggest what settings to use when shooting from the hip? Thank you.
Nice video, Faizal! Very simple and straighforward. Even though the fewer buttons on the xe4 seemed a negative at first, I find I'm focussing more on the aspect of taking pictures instead of dealing with dials/buttons. I'm also very curious how you set up your xt5 for video. Are you planning to do a video on that too?
I think down the road once I've got enough experience using the Fuji for video I will make another on how I've set it up to go between photo and video. Still a bit of a noob when it comes to video on Fuji haha
@@FaizalWestcott Fair enough hahah. Me too btw, so I'm just experimenting with various settings at the moment:) thanks for the reply
your videos are always a unique experience
nice video and I want to try some of your settings to see how they work for me.
Does back button focusing keep focus when you recompose (maybe with a foreground object ) like the AF Lock does?
Great video thank you
Love ur vidéo but stop vocal fry like that pls.....
promise you I'm not doing it on purpose....
Yeah I agree, I’m pretty sure it was a good video but I had to skip this one
@@FaizalWestcott you don’t need to worry about that. It’s not a problem :)
I kinda unsubscribed bc of that, I can’t bear it
@@averageday bruh
