    You can put the shutter dial in "T" and change them by 1/3 via dials. I measure exposure in manual mode

    No need to hold down the ae-l button. Just press it and release, and it will lock until you hit it again or release the shutter. Also the single point focus can be combined with the metering so that it focuses and meters in the same point. If that setup is chosen, the q menu has a different bottom left option than what you show. Great video!

    This was a good dive into metering, thanks! I had my X-T1 on multi for years and never changed it because I mostly did outdoor photography. However, I just got my X-T20 a month ago and took some indoor/outdoor photos using the 56mm portrait lens and totally got into problems with background light from the windows. I forced my way through it with a flash and exp comp-but the spot metering seems very useful for the situation when I want to use the natural light.
    I will say my one tip on the X-T20 is that when I turn the exp comp dial my fingers keep hitting the Fn button , so I now keep the exp comp dial on "C" and use the front dial to choose my exp comp. One issue that took me a while to figure out with my pancake lens was that when I press the front dial, it toggles between custom exp comp and aperture (or shutter speed depending on the "command dial setting").

    Omar, if you want to shoot Manual, just put the shutter dial on T position. You will get full control over you shutter speed from 1/8000s to 30sec. It works on the XE2/XT1/ XT2 and it should be the same on the XT20, it was part of one update done by Fuji.

    • @ogonzilla
      @ogonzilla  Před 7 lety

      But I love the big dial!! haha...will totally try that!! Thanks, so helpful.

    • @jamasters62
      @jamasters62 Před 7 lety +3

      Manual focus mode with the back button auto focus (!?) and the shutter dial in "T" to allow all 1/3 stop shutter speeds using the rear thumb dial is how I shoot 99% of the time. Yeah, I love the retro look and that old school shutter dial there, but using T and the thumb wheel is just to friggin' fast not to use. It's natural, like using the old aperture dials of my older cameras, mixed with the 1/3 stop shutter speed accuracy of the modern cameras. This method of control was a big help when I switched from Nikon, quickening the adjustment to Fuji's way of getting the job done.

    Thanks Omar, I have been following for quite a while, this will be my first comment. I just upgraded to the X T3 from the X T20, and suddenly metering became a whole lot more important for some reason. This has clarified a few things for me that I just wasn't understanding before. As for "you are smarter than your camera", well I think that may be debatable!

    Hi, this is something that I just recently found out too after owning the X-T20 for a month. If you want to quickly set the functions for your functions buttons, you can do so by pressing the display back button until the menu comes out. It's way quicker to go into the menu and to the wrench to adjust your functions buttons. Hope this helps.

  • @sueadrianpye5946

  • @MagnusHedemark
    @MagnusHedemark Před 6 lety +1

    For the fine grained shutter speeds, you can use the command dial on many of the Fujis. Set your shutter dial to T... then fine-grain shutter speed adjustments are made with the rear command dial, and ISO on the front dial. I manage aperture with my left hand on the front ring. Never have to leave the EVF.

  • @jorgepeterbarton
    @jorgepeterbarton Před 4 lety

    Same, aperture priority an eV compensation. If anything requires more than two stops can lock or use manual. I don't use spot much though.

  • @sarimner
    @sarimner Před 7 lety +5

    manual mode with auto iso is good in T mode with shutter speed from 1/32000s to 30sec! :D (XT-1)

  • @tubularsensation
    @tubularsensation Před 7 lety +1

    Very nice! A couple of things, I don't have a Fuji lens at the moment, I shoot with all manual lenses, but in any metering mode, multi, center weighted, ETC, how the camera meters would be relative to where the focus point is located, no? Meaning, if you move that focus point to the far left of the screen towards a blown out window, it would meter differently than if it were at the opposite side of the screen? Lastly, you definitely have compensation in MF mode, just set your top dails to "T" on the shutter, and "C" on the compensation, then go into the Setup-button dial setting-command dial setting, and set that to the bottom hit - SSF. Now pressing in on the front command dial will select shutter speed, press in again, now you control the compensation!

    I know this video has already 3 years now, but I just got a xt20. First of all I love your videos! Second if you slightly press on the shutter button your exposure also gets locket in apperture priority mode.
    Cheers
    Edit: this because I have "AE/AF lock mode" set to "P", I think

    I added a thumb grip to the xt20 and it gets your thumb and palm off the controls when you need it to be so, it works great
    It was expensive (lensbaby) but recommended
    It attaches to the camera in the hot shoe

    Have used the XT10… before I left it in a cab. Personally I do not like fiddling with top dials, ergonomically I have to take my hand off the camera. Back or front dials are the way to go for me. I like multi too, exceptions of course but you have back button lock to overcome that or use the exposure compensation dial. Quite honestly I will use exposure bracketing or auto ISO ( 125-800) in the A, P or S modes.

    Hi Omar, I have recently found your channel as I purchased an XT-2 last week. I have migrated from Nikon DLSR. Ugh my back is better already... Can you or anyone explain the DR (dynamic range) option. Does it apply it it just to the JPeg and is it best set to auto or changed as fit by the photographer. Perhaps you would have time to do a little video. Thanks Omar you brighten up my day when I watch your video's.

    so you are prefer using matrix + A priority with exp compensation, is it right ? Btw for shutter speed you can change it into T, and it will give you flexible shutter speed from 4000 to 30 sec by using front command dial (in X-T1).

    I find my xt3's metering is not "pretty good" in any mode. While shooting raw, in anything but spot metering, I have to compensate by +1 1/3 to 2 stops to get an exposure that's not under exposed. I don't know if this is "normal" or not.

Any recommendation on where I can find examples showing AE lock and exposure compensation in all different modes. If its not too much to ask may be you can make a video.

    Great video, love all your vids man. I am new to the x-t20 and photography on it's own and it's great hearing all the tips. I got a question tho. Why would you in normal day situation choose a slower shutter speed over a faster one(Bearing in mind you don't want any crazy stuff but just a normal photo)? Isn't the faster one always sharper? Thanks in advance,

    • @ogonzilla

      Fast shutter is great when its bright enough. Sometimes you don't have enough light so you have to go with a slower shutter or raise your ISO.

    @tonywillis6809 Před 3 lety

    I think you're too quick to dismiss the 'average' setting. I just bought an X-T10 second hand and when it arrived the metering was set to multi. I took some indoor shots and some outside shots of flowers, and they were all fine. But then I took a shot outside that included some sky. Not only was the sky blown out but the rest of the photo had this sort of misty haze over it. Then I changed the metering to average and all the problems disappeared; my sky was blue with lots of white fluffy clouds and the misty haze was gone. I then tried the same thing with my X-T3 with the same result. So the 'average' meter setting might have limited uses but it certainly has uses.
