Please leave me a comment and let me know where you are located when you are watching this video! I love hearing from you. Let me know if you have any questions about using the manual exposure settings on the Fuji X-S10!
Romania supporting Wes over here!
Than you very much from Cyprus! Great video. Beginner here, starting to learn my X-S10.
May I ask, is there any advantage in using the electronic shutter together with mechanical shutter, other than the higher speed for sports/fast moving subjects?
Thanks Wes for a great video. I am new to Fuji and have bought the X-S10. I am enjoying it. I am still getting used it. I am using it primarily for Nature photography and videos. Can you recommend a good microphone to go with the X-S10 for Nature videos?
@@pbds2763 thank you for watching and for leaving a comment. For a very affordable shotgun microphone, I like the Movo VXR10. Here's a video on it: czcams.com/video/gmvddvn5rFY/video.html
Are we not gonna talk about the '' you're a beautiful person and a good person'' warmed my heart. :')
🙏🙏🙏
Loved the kindness!!
this is short, sweet, to the point and EXACTLY what i was looking for as i prepare for my xs10 to come!
I’m so glad to hear that! Enjoy your new XS10-it's a fantastic choice. Happy shooting!
oh wow this video really helped me refresh my brain storage where it stores photography. Thank you for the video!
I'm really glad to hear the video served as a good refresher for you! Photography can be a lot to keep in mind, so it's great to have a little memory jog now and then. Thanks for watching, and happy shooting!
Thank you! Great video
Thanks Wes! I've had the X-S10 for 4 days (after my X-T1 died on me after 6 years!) So, I've become used to manual dials and completely confused by all the overlapping menus here! You just gave me exactly what I needed! Thank you!
I went straight from a Canon G9 to the X-T
You're welcome. Glad it was helpful. What lens is your go-to lens for the X-S10? What type of photography do you primarily do?
Hey Paul - just re-reading your comment and I picked up a used X-T1 recently and love it!
Thanks so much Wes!
My pleasure!
Very helpful 👌
Love from India 🇮🇳
Thank you for watching and for leaving a comment! ❤️❤️
Great vid!!
Thank you!
Hi Wes. Good video, thanks. One mistake I noticed at about 1:55 - you said a higher aperture number allows in more light and greater depth of field. Of course, it allows in less light.
Thank you for watching and for leaving a comment. I appreciate the correction. I always tend to make that up.
Old comment but yeah I thought I was trippin lol
Nice tutorial!
Thank you! Cheers!
very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
I keep coming across your videos as I research my way to an inevitable purchase haha. Another great video. 👍
Thank you again for watching! Let me know if you have any questions on Fuji or the X-S10!
@@WesKriesel Hey Wes! Actually, yes. I'm close to buying the X-S10 body and I'm unsure about lens to get with it for hybrid shooting. I guess I'm asking a lot for one lens (maybe), but I do street photography, corporate headshots and company pics, company videos as well as CZcams (talking heads but also more and more vlogging, something for which I mostly use the GoPro Hero 8 ATM and is serving me very well) and my own creative projects. Is there anything in your opinion that could handle these requirements? The 15-45 comes as a kit, but I've heard it's a little flimsy. I'm thinking 16-55 or 16-80 for an all-rounder. What would you say? Cheers! (sorry to take your invitation for questions so literally!)
It might be tough to find one perfect lens but if you are filming interviews or videos where people are the subject, I recommend the 18-55mm. It's been wonderful for eye AF. My next favorite lens is the 23mm F/2 lens - it's magical for street photography. A great portrait lens is the Viltrox 56mm F/1.4 lens, which is pretty affordable, around $325.
@@WesKriesel Thanks so much! I agree, probably not going to find a jack of all trades for my many needs. Interesting thought about the 18-55. I'll give it a try. Cheers!
66 year old newbie here from Cajun country..Lafayette, LA 🦞 Bought my xs10 last year, but was ‘scared’ to use it!😂 Taking a beginners photography class at the end of this month. This video is a good start..thanks!
Thank you for watching and for leaving a comment! Glad it was helpful! I teach a photography class out here in California! Come on through!
Would love to do that someday! If I do, I’ll bring you a big ole pot of gumbo..you just need to make the rice and potato salad!😂

Hi Wes. The way iso works is that it takes the light that comes in via the lens and the combo of shutter speed and aperture and then either does nothing to it at base iso or amplifies the signal at higher iso's before the image is saved to the sd card. The sensor is not senstive like film was. I think its good to explain this correctly so people understand exactly what happens with iso.
Hi there! Thanks so much for adding to the discussion with your clear explanation of how ISO works in digital cameras. You're absolutely right-understanding that ISO amplifies the signal rather than making the sensor more sensitive, like film, is crucial for getting to grips with modern photography techniques. It's great to have community members like you who share their insights, helping everyone understand camera settings better.
@@WesKriesel Thanks
I just bought the X-S10, and have quickly realized I am in way over my head with this thing. What has me stumped are the dials changing depending on what mode you are in. So I decided to land on just one mode (manual) and get comfortable with that, first. I don’t like the dial on the left set up by default changing the ‘style’. I was hoping your video would address changing that dial, but to what? What would be the most helpful? White balance? Contrast? Obviously I have a lot to learn; your video is very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for watching and for leaving a comment/question. I agree that the left dial is not best left to adjust film simulations. If you are shooting in manual, think that your lenses probably have an aperture ring for easily adjusting the aperture, so I'd probably set the left dial to ISO. For me, I want to control the shutter speed with my right hand.
I just got this camera 2 weeks ago a d I’m trying to perfect manual mode!! I have a gig coming up in 2weeks!!
Thank you for watching and for leaving a comment! Good luck with your gig! Let me know if you have any questions
Great vid thank you , you are very informative. I have the XS-10 with 18-55mm kit lens for video work, you recommend the 23mm f2 from Fuji , would that be better than Viltrox 23mm f1.4 for video.
I have a Viltrox 56mm that is great, but I don't have any experience with the Viltrox 23mm. I think the Fuji 23mm F/2 is a special lens. I used it on my last two videos for the talking head portions and can recommend it. The 18-55 may do better in AF in low light or backlit situations but I love the Fuji 23mm.
Thanks for the video!
When I put to M Mode, the Exposure goes to the bottom and when I try the shutter speed, this doesn’t come up or go 0. So, my display is super dark and can’t see anything from the display on what I’m shooting. But on A mode, the lever moves and I see my subject from the display. What am I missing here?
Try manual mode in a bright environment. Outside during the day, you should be able to get proper exposure with ISO 100 and 1/100 shutter speed. If that doesn't work, then let me know. Itfyou are in a dim environment, like indoors, it may be hard to see your display with otherwise "normal" exposure settings. You can also try moving your ISO temporarily up to 3200 or higher - if this fixes the problem, then your enivronment is too dark to see on the display.
What's the native ISO for this camera?
The native ISO for the Fujifilm X-S10 is 160. This setting will give you the cleanest image quality with the least amount of noise. If you need more flexibility in different lighting conditions, the camera handles higher ISO settings quite well too. Enjoy exploring its capabilities!
Super helpful indeed sir. I don't know if you've evaluated the Canon M6 Mk ii or not, but if so, which camera do you favor if the $150 body price difference is no big whoop? Thanks man!
Hello - I don't know how I missed your question! For my money, the Fuji cameras excel in the APSC space. I'd choose the XS10. That's my two cents. However, I have not used the M6, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. What type of photography or video do you do?
@@WesKriesel Hi Wes and thank you. I plunked down for the X-S10 and have been enjoying it immensely from using it as a Webcam to taking pictures while out on my motorcycle adventure rides. Thanks again Wes. MC
How to disable film simulation bkt in fujifilm Xs10? Coz everytime I use manual mode the picture I took became 3 copies having different FS. I just want only one copy just the unfiltered picture. Please help me
Look in the drive dial and make sure you are not on advanced
Press upper left drive button and move selection up to single image. Your camera is set to bracket mode specifically film bracketing.
Hi super good video!! I just started getting into Fuji and bought an S10 plus a XF35mmF2 lense. Now this lense has the mechanical rings but somehow they don’t do anything? Do I have to set the camera to enable the two wheels/rings?
Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching! I'm not familiar with that lens but check the wrench menu for button & dial customization options. Also, if you have any auto modes enabled (auto aperture, let's say), I would expect that the rings would not work since the camera is essentially overriding those controls.
How do I set my shutter speed in settings i setting it to 25 seconds before but forgot how
Are you using the back dial to change shutter speed?
This is great except the button dial doesn’t affect my aperture
Ah shoot!
@ 3:59 Hi. Is there a way to turn off the ISO selection animation while selecting the ISO? Thank you.
Hello - I don't know of a way to disable the ISO selection overlay when you have pressed the dedicated ISO button
Hey, nice vid! Just one correction, if that’s ok. The higher the F-stop, the less light comes in (ie. the higher the F-stop, the smaller the lens aperture.) I’m sure you know that, so you I guess you misspoke. Cheers!
Thanks for the save! Spot on about the f-stop-more numbers, less light. Classic mix-up on my part. Must've been too excited filming the video. Thanks for keeping me honest, and glad you liked the video. Cheers!
Hi Wes, I bought this great camera 2 weeks ago with the 16-80 m"m lens. I was amazed by the quality of it FANTASTIC!!!! But the וser interface is awful it's very unconvinced to work with this electronic menu instead of an analog button or a simple menu, Can you help me to understand -- 1: if I'm in the menu and want to get to the starting point- like "escape" who to do it? ( right now I go back& back etc which wast time 2. is in Auto mode there is a way to manually control the ISO? In low light what do you find max iso that is teals get OK and not to much grain? I have many more but that the most Q for now...thank Ofer(: (Tel Aviv)
Hello! I'm so sorry for the delay in responding. When you are in the menu, half-press the shutter button to return to live view. Is that what you are after? If not, DISP/Back should take you one step back in the menu to the page you came from. Your second question - whether you are in A or S modes, you are giving the camera the control over ISO and the other element of the exposure triangle (shutter or aperture). So, you don't have control over ISO. I didn't test your specific question about max ISO, so I'm sorry but I can't shed light on that. Try it and see - if you have the camera. What type of photography do you do?
I’m confused if you can please help. In custom setting I can’t seem to change to shutter speed or aperture. I would have thought this possible
It sounds like you might be in a fully automatic mode which often restricts manual adjustments to shutter speed and aperture. Try switching to a manual or semi-manual mode like Aperture Priority or Shutter Priority. If that doesn’t help, consulting the user manual or resetting the settings might clear up the issue. Let me know if you need further assistance!
I'm currently hesitating between getting a XS10 or a XT4, in termes of performance/feature i think the XS10 would be all that i need but i want to buy a good camera especially to shoot manual so i wonder if the extra price of the xt4 just for the ergonomics is justifiable. So if i can program the different wheels of the xs10 to get the same manual experience i could save a bit of money or more probably just buy one more lens ;)
Really wish they released a XT40 with the flippy screen and the extra feature of the xs10 but with the dedicated wheels ergonomics of the XT's.
My two cents: I would probably go with the XS10. I have the X-T4 and like it but don't love it. When I borrowed the XS10, I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed it mors than I expected.
Hey I live in Dubai, Recently I purchased XS-10, is it a good option? Can you suggest me a good third party lens for portrait photography.
Hello Swagath - congratulations! Great camera. I have the Viltrox 56mm F/1.4 which is a full frame equivalent of about 85mm so it's great for portraits. I'm happy with the lens; you should check it out. If you have portrait samples on IG or somewhere, hit me up with a DM. I'd love to see your work. instagram.com/weskrieselphoto
Sir, is that possible to adjust the exposure compensation in manual mode?
Hello - sorry for the delay in responding. Try the top right dial (fujifilm-dsc.com/en/manual/x-s10/taking_photo/exposure/). It may not work in manual since your "exposure triangle" controls - ISO, SS and aperture - are the prime controls. But it's worth trying. I don't have the X-S10 anymore so can't test this. What kind of photography do you do?
Exposure comp. is not such a thing for pure manual mode ever on any camera. Exposure comp. only works in a semi automatic mode where the camera is making an adjustment for you. If you use manual mode with auto ISO (by definition that is no longer full manual mode) then you are in a semiautomatic mode. For the Fuji XS 10 the left dial can be programmed to be the exposure comp. dial. Sadly Fuji never updated the XS 10 so the front dial could be used for the exposure comp. which would be a more ergonomic and thus not make the user have to take the left hand off the lens/body to make adjustments.
When it's in M mode, why can't you just set aperture using the ring on the lense? Does it become inoperable in M mode?
Hello! Sorry for the delay. In manual mode, your aperture ring should work just fine. I hope this helps. What type of photography do you do?
@@WesKriesel I'm an amateur, got my first Minolta SLR in 1969. I shoot landscape, wild life, street scenes, family, grandchildren sports, etc. Trying to decide on a new camera; considering fugi and olympus.
Thanks for the video guide. Im just not sure why my f stop is stuck at zero, despite of turning the front dial... appreciate any tips!
Ps. Just got new camera and lens: Xs10 and 18-55mm f2.8-4
What lens is on your camera?
@@WesKriesel 18-55mm f2.8-4... there is an aperture ring but as i turn the ring the lcd indicates f still stuck at 0 and I can't focus on any object! Reading online apparently could be dirty sensor or lens, but they look clean to me and are fresh out of their boxes. Regardless the aperture button is set to manual or auto, didn't change the suspicious f 0..Appreciate any idea or comments.
@@felzebub1762 Couple of things to try offhand, but I'm sure you probably have already tried these first two: 1) Power on and off the camera. 2) Take the lens off and re-mount it.Then, 3) do a factory reset to see if that helps. Wrench menu > User Setting > Reset > Set Up Reset > Reset settings to default > OK. If this doesn't help, you could DM me on Instagram a picture of the back of the camera when powered on so I can see screen/settings to troubleshoot further
@@WesKriesel thanks Wes, I did all 3 ,but nothing changed. Luckily I watched your video and quickly realised how strange my f stop was. I'll go back to shop to try to resolve the issue...
Please help. My front dial doesn't change the aperture. The only way to change the aperture is using the aperture ring on the lens.
Also, I can't find the Bulb Mode. I've already read the manual 100 times.
I'm really considering returning this camera.
My apologies for the delay in responding. I don't have the X-S10 in my possession any longer. Were you able to sort this out?
You have to turn your aperture ring to A in manual mode. Then the front dial controls the aperture of the lens. To access the bulb setting you have to keep rotating the back dial again in manual mode until the time of the shutter speed changes to bulb which is a SS greater than 15 minutes.
Hi Wes, I can't get to work the MEIKE 50mm f1.7 LENS with my XS10, I have done all the steps required and review all settings in other tutorials I have watched and still can't get this lens to work. Please help! I bought the body only if this camera and the manual MEIKE lens, it has been a nightmare for me because I have not been able to even use the camera at all.
When you attach the lens, does the F value (aperture) show up as 0?
@@WesKriesel Yes, it does
Look for a menu item that says " release shutter when no lens attached".
Basically the camera was doesn't recognize that there's a lens attached, so you have to enable the ability to release the shutter when there's no lens based on its selection in the menu.
@@WesKriesel OMG!!! I'm so happy!! I did it!!! YESS, so gratefull THANK YOU so much, You are the best!!
Hey Wes, enjoying your videos. I have an XT3 and an XE1 for photography. The XT3 is a great but complex camera for sure but I enjoy using it. I also have Panasonic G7 and G85 which I use for various photography projects. However, video wise and for my CZcams vids I tend to use a DJI which is a wee beast and also an actual Panasonic video camera . I do want to work a little more on my videos and debating whether to just film on my XT3 on tripod or perhaps purchase the xs10 as a video cam to shoot the Fuji film sims due to the IBIS and ability to shoot handheld. I could be answering my own question here as I write this….and go with the XT3 for videos too BUT those new film sims…hmm. Any thoughts? I mean I really love the XE1 and if the XE4 had IBIS there would be no debate or even query in my mind. However, ……dilemma about Fuji’s most polarising cameras methinks.
Sorry I missed replying to this earlier. Did you decide on this? I think the XT3 on a tripod would be just fine. I don't know that the X-S10 adds that much. Now, if you were to consider economics, you could sell the XT3 and the XE1 and pick up the X-S10. To me, it would be a simpler setup for both photo and video.
Hello,
I have 2 questions, specifically about manual mode, no-one never answers :
1. As I see in your video, when setting ISO values, the screen doesn't show the histogram anymore nor the exposure measure. That's a pity because you usually want to impose first a shutter speed and an aperture and THEN adapt the ISO for a correct exposure. And then you can't because you are blind !
2. To avoid this, you could set the ISO in Auto (while in manual mode). But unfortunately, even with a parameter adjusted by the camera, AEL is not available, nor the exposure compensation ! In this case you can't really choose precisely the exposure you want neither...
Do you have a trick or advice for me please ?
I just picked up an X-S10 so I will be able to test this and get back to you.
@@WesKriesel
Thanks you !
I'd love to hear you have a solution because I really wanted to buy x-s10...
My shooting process is to fix aperture and shutter speed, then fine tune the exposure with ISO (either auto + AEL + exposure compensation, or manually). But in both case I need help from camera's histogram and/or spot expo measure.
@@didmanify press the display button, should bring them all back?
@@didmanifyhave you found a solution for that issue? I have an X-S20 and I’m struggling with the same problem
