I have an X100s and I want to use shutter speeds lower than 1/4 second which is the slowest speed on the shutter speed dial. The owner's manual says to select the shutter speed T and use the command dial to select slower shutter speeds. I tried this and I must be doing something wrong. After selecting T, the back display on the camera shows a shutter speed of 5 seconds. When I move the command wheel the shutter speed remains the same but the f/stop changes. This is not what I want to do. I would like to select shutter speeds from around 1/2 second to 10 seconds. How do I do this? Do I need to change any other settings besides the T setting? My camera is the X100s so it only has a rear command wheel. Thank you.
Bonjour Thierry, je tente de prendre des photos du ciel étoilé. Le problème est pour faire la mise au point avec mon X-T4. C'est impossible à cause de la "friture' (the noise) sur l'écran ou même dans le viseur. C'est acceptable sans agrandir, mais les étoiles sont trop petites - alors j'ai mis en mode manuel et l'image agrandit (zoom de 8-10x aprox) aussitôt qu'on tourne la bague de focus. Mais je ne voit que du bruit digital multicolore. En passant, je n'avais pas ce problème avec mon vieux Canon 5D MKII.
As someone with OCD, how do i use an nd filter without obsessing over tiny particles of dust? It seems that everytime i use one, i can't seem to get it perfectly clean! Its annoying!
I do not have OCD but a little blower is your best friend in this case. It helps a lot to get dust out of the way and you can blow the dust quite regularly without wasting too much time.
Awesome introduction to long exposure 😎👍👍 to the point without any fluf. Personally I don't do enough long exposure shots, but I try to squeeze one here and one there whenever possible. Just throwing an idea in the air, if you have the time and enjoy doing live tutorials, it would be awesome to have a livestream on the field showing in practice how to videos. Even if not live, a practical video on location with examples of "overdoing it", "underdoing it", and "just about right" would probably be highly appreciated by new learners. Just brainstorming 😁 you never know if it may inspire you to something 🤣👍👍 OH I miss the vlogging style videos, thanks for the awesome content 😎👍
Thank you for the feedback. I plan on testing a lens very soon with a vlog style content 😀 Hopefully you will enjoy it! Good idea on videos. I need to practice a bit more my presence in camera live before doing it ahah but i will definitely keep it in mind! Cheers
@@ThierryGibralta 🤓 don't tell me that you've got the Viltrox 13mm f1.4. 😉 Since I got the 10-24mm f4 v2 it has sufficed my vlogging needs 😅 but I still keep that viltrox in mind 😎📷
Hi, I have been watching this to troubleshoot the issue on my camera. I have dialed to T mode but when I scroll the back wheel, it can not go beyond 1". Is there anything that I might have missed? Thank you!
My shutter speed doesn’t activate, it does the setting but no response meaning just shuts like a normal shot, and by the way on bulk mode I don’t see a life frame, or is that to much asked of a Fuji
So it is not mandatory especially in low light as your exposure might be good with a slow shutter speed. However if you are aiming to get long trails of lights you might need it

@@aimanziad Thank you. My camera is an X100s and does not have a front command wheel. Using the rear command wheel does not change the shutter speed. I have selected the T option on the shutter speed dial and I have selected a specific f-stop so I am not on auto mode unless you are referring to something else.
@@aimanziad The X100s only has a rear command wheel. Not sure exactly what you mean by 'auto mode'. Shutter speed is T, f/stop is not on A so I am assuming this is not auto mode.
I personally use manual focus for long exposure shots. I don’t use any other system to measure light. I base myself on the histogram mostly to make sure there is no clipped highlights/shadows
Hi. I have a fujixpro3 and was trying to set up 30 second exposure. But the T button does not seem to give more time after the shutter is clicked. Would you know how to set it?
@@ThierryGibralta Hey thanks for your reply, I figured that out later that my 'Flicker Reduction' was on and thus I couldn't go below 50 SS, now I can change it. Thank you
Very good video, but I have a question (or more). I understand that if I’m using a fixed ND filter (3, 6, 10 stops) there are apps that will tell me what shutter speed I need for a correct (or balanced) exposure, how do I know how many stops I’m using on an adjustable ND filter and if I am at the maximum density, will the camera be able to give me a histogram reading or even be able to focus.
So long exposure shots are a process of trial and error to some degree. So in short yes you'll still be able to take a histogram reading, but remember, the longer the exposure = the slower the shutter speed, the more "bright" or exposed your shot will be. So you'll have to be careful with your highlights, and/or sometimes your shadows even depending on the look you're going for. Will your camera be able to focus? In short yes, but it depends, most cameras may struggle a little the darker the environment becomes. So there may be times where you'll want to manually focus on your subject, than letting the camera do it. Again, it's a trial and error deal. And you'll only ever want to use a nd filter in already low light conditions IF you really want to gather light for longer for whatever artistic reason. The PhotoPills app is one of the most comprehensive apps for photographers, it goes for a one time purchase if you're on Android, probably the same for iPhone. It is a worthy investment of you plan to venture into the photography hobby, it covers so many different aspects of photography. The app you'll give you a base to what settings you should set your camera given the target photography you want to take, but the more you play with your settings the more know-how experience you'll earn 😎👍 I hope this information can be helpful 😁📷
A variable ND filter has graduations and is marked to some specific values so you can also look at that. Even if you at maximum density, the camera will be able to give you a read out, as if you need to be at maximum density, it means that you will receive enough light for your exposure to be correct at this state. If you don’t receive enough light, your histogram will shoe data only in the far left, which you would want to avoid. When using a fixed ND, you will need to make more adjustments on your aperture too to make sure that you can achieve the desired shutter speed. Remember that your shutter speed here is your most important parameter in that case and because you have a fixed ND, you should actually set it first and adjust other parameters around it.
Question: in XT3 video mode, when using All-intra, you can get down to 1/4 seconds of shutter... Is there any way to be able to get longer exposure on video? (I know it sounds weird, but the reason would be to film nightsky and stars)
Hii, I'm also experiencing this issue. I have set my shutter speed to all sorts of time yet after pressing my shutter button it instantly clicks. New at cameras here, hoping yall can help me

Great video. I've been waiting for this. Next maybe night photography?
Thanks for watching! Sure I will add it to the list. Anything in particular you want to hear about night photography?

Does this all apply to night time long exposures?

greet video! just a question: you suggest to buy an nd filter... is mandatory also in low light / night long exposure picture?
So it is not mandatory especially in low light as your exposure might be good with a slow shutter speed. However if you are aiming to get long trails of lights you might need it
Am I able to do exposure bracketing with a long exposure shot? Is that even a thing?

Which wheel did you use? Front or rear? If you use the rear one it should change the shutter speed. Make sure the camera is not on auto mode as well.

When in T mode you need to rotate the dials (front or back depending on your settings) to change in to 30s

@@williamaungleyraud Thank you.

Also I am trying tonunderstand the difference between T & B
Good question
T uses the time you specify (time)
B leaves the shutter opened as long as you press the shutter button (bulb)
Question: in XT3 video mode, when using All-intra, you can get down to 1/4 seconds of shutter... Is there any way to be able to get longer exposure on video? (I know it sounds weird, but the reason would be to film nightsky and stars)
The B or Bulb setting with a remote cable? Did you work things out?
Also, when I set it to 1 second, it also did not take a long time for the picture, and just clicked it immediately. Do you know why?
Which mode were you using?
