This has to be one of the best YT channels for Fuji and cameras in general. This guy is providing information I don't see any other channel offer, and I've watched a ton of them. On top of that he's also very entertaining.
I agree
No doubt!
I think you're absolutely right and his energy is absolutely unmatched
100%
Not to mention how wholesome and genuine he seems. His energy inadvertently cheers me up every time I watch a video regardless of the content.
I don't know how you keep up your enthusiasm, Chris, after all these years but this video was great!
Chris and this channel is the reason I went back to the shop and re-bought a Fuji I had returned because I thought it was confusing! I now can’t imagine using anything other than a Fuji and have tried many camera brands. I finally found my camera brand and my love of photography has increased so much. Thank you
I have to say thank you for the way you concluded the video. It means a lot for someone to express the importance of the moment of emotion and expression. Some of my favorite shots I've captured have been a result of sheer luck and being in the moment to capture it. These photos were made possible due to the chaos of what is happening around you at any moment.. A sea of infinite "mistakes" that turned into something meaningful.
You are the Bob Ross of Fuji and cameras. Thank you for the helpful and inspiring videos!😊
Happy Friday! pal2tec with another banger.
So many helpful tips in this video. Thank you, Chris!
It's always good to have a review! Thanks.
Thanks for the video, Chris. Appreciate all that you do.
Excellent info, Chris, as per usual, always something to learn about my Fuji, cheers 🥂
Excellent video. Thank you Chris. Keep it up!!!
Thank you for your informative, enthusiastic and entertaining videos! Great video indeed!
Great video. I'll be watching it several times to make sure I take in all the great info.
Chris your are a goldmine of tips and information. Thank you for the hard work in preparing and sharing your videos with us . 👏👏👏👏👏
So much information in 20 minutes. Thank you so much.
Amazing training. Your techniques for keeping your viewers' attention are superb. Thanks.
Love the final message! 🎉🎉🎉
Your videos have such a nice and nuanced flow to them that's invaluable to beginners and more experienced photographers. I'm a rather experienced photographer and still learned something today, thank you for that!
I love the Hal in the background. Thank you so much for making these videos. I've only just got a Fujifilm camera and you're teaching me how to use it
I am so happy that I recently got the XS20 and discovered your channel. There is plenty of useful information, but mostly I appreciate your mood and passion. Thank you
Awesome tips, thank you very much! I've got Fujifilm camera recently and I'm learning to improve my skills. Your videos are really interesting and useful. And they convey a very uplifting mood also 🙃.
Hi I just found your channel , and I’m grateful I did ! Your videos are amazing
Well done Chris. I've been shooting with Nikon for years, however I have a x100v, so reviewing the different nuances of the Fuji system was well timed for me. Thank you so much.
Thanks Chris - have not been able to touch my camera in a while and this one is GREAT to keep me up to speed TKS
Dude, you pack a lot of very useful information into your videos.
Long-time subscriber, first-time commentor. Just wanted to say this was incredibly well communicated and captivating. Been shooting over 15 years but have been a part of the fuji ecosystem merely 3 years -- there are quite a few nuances in the fuji settings and I found the information you gave to be really useful. Thank you!
Thank you love the last part ❤
Good one ! Excellent review of function and outcome.
I also recommend turning down noise reduction to the lowest because the noise in Fuji cameras looks much better than the muddy noise reduction. Sometimes even ISO 12.800 can look very good with the noise, just like an analoge photo.
Thanks for another great video with clear advice .
This guy is very valuable instructor! Makes me want to take more photos with my Fuji cameras and learn the system really well. Well done!
Amazing video sir as always, thank you 😊
You are awesome…..I have learned so much from watching your videos. Switching from Canon to Fuji has been amazing with lots of help from you!
Brilliant! This is great for beginners, and a good affirmation for more experienced photographers. I use Olympus, and sometimes Fuji, but this inspires me more towards my Fuji XT4, which I need to use more (and need to get a couple more lenses for).
i love your channel. so helpful. thank you so much.
Great tips, thank you!
as always thank you pal2tech
Thanks for continuing to inspire.
Love your videos. So helpful (and a laugh). Chapeau.
Merci ! Thank you ! Tout est très clair ! Everything you said is very clear Thanks a lot 😀🙏
I really enjoyed that you came back to that image, I was so intrigued. And - exactl to your point - me as a viewer didn't even notice your perceived "technical/artistic" issues with the photo, I was utterly captured by the story in it.
Excellent-thanks for the technical reminders I hadn’t considered (example-photometry)
Great explanation. Thanks!
Chris is the Fuji master. Great video! (from a Canon guy that plays with Fuji on the weekends)
Thanks for sharing a super informative video.
Very helpful. Please keep them coming.+
Awesome video. Thank you 🙏
Thanks for this video. I wish I had seen this when I first got my Fuji Xt-3
Brilliant, Practial and Wise!
Hello from Russia and thanks for your work. Helps a lot)
Thank you for the video! Even though I have watched almost all of your videos I still found interesting and useful information!
Also curious about the story from the Baikal! My relatives live there :)
excellent video, thank you so much
Great Video, Thanks a lot!
Wonderful, thanks so much
Fantastic video. A+++
Great video. NB: I have experimented a lot with SAINT ISO--works great but be aware that since you are essentially in manual exposure mode, if you are shooting where "preview exposure in manual mode" is off (which is often, particularly when shooting flash), if you exceed iso capabilities at either end, the shots will be over or underexposed but not look that way in the view finder. You can tell in advance because the exposure meter in the VF will show + or - values. This was truly confusing until I realized what was going on. My advice is to make sure that, when SAINT ISO is used, "preview exposure in manual mode" is "on"...or watch the exposure meter carefully in the VF.
Thanks again for all of the great videos, Chris.
Thank you so much for the info. Great video!! George E-X3
Please never stop making videos you are awesome
I bought my 1st dslr camera in 2016 and still find my photos awful ! you can't imagine how I really enjoy watching your videos as you make photography as simple as a piece of cake .. however I hope you can explain more on artistically bad photos and how can we fix it .. Thanks so much
Hi Chris. Another great informative video. Going back through your older videos I was unable to find one on the X100V or any of the X Pro series. If you have any could you please send me a link. Desperate to hear your thoughts and guidance for these Fuji cameras. Best regards Paul
Thanks for the interesting discussion.
If you get the chance could you give a quick long term review of the premium X-T5 cage you have. Wondering if you managed to get that fancy shutter button extra working correctly, and does the cage finish and leather handle last with ware?
I am still thinking about one of these if they are still available, but was originally put off by some peoples negative comments
Great Video!
Thanks Chris! Saint ISO, nice. I've been shooting this way since I found your video 1.5 years ago but, missed to let it run all the way up to 128000, Im set 6400. In any case this style did just what you say. Increased my keepers. Just removing ISO helps master the other settings.
Thanks for the pro tip on the auto WB potential gotcha.
Sei veramente grande Sir. Quante belle cose ci insegni.🙏👍
I haven’t had a camera in 10+ years. Just ordered an x100vi. Very useful.
I know its random but have you try the new Sirui Sniper lenses for Fujifilm? Would love to see how they performed against the viltrox😃. Great content as always Chris👍👍
Awesome video
Wow, Great soundtrack with New Order, Pretenders ..) thanks
summing up the first two minutes as one brilliant CZcamsr put it, photography is the marriage of technology and creativity
Prefix! This was a comment I left on another channel, but I think relevant for a video! Explain how DF! This was on your Brk focus stacking lens! I also have to comment on the latter part of video, when you start to adjust the aperture, the old rule of thumb, is that the smaller the aperture f32 f22 the greater the depth of Field, however this dos depend on the Lens size, so wide lens the sweet spot will be different as will the softness at the edges, I remember 50 plus years ago learning* how to photograph a wild animal at the zoo using depth of field to remove the bars and mesh of the wires as it made them disappear, something that I have seen on any CZcams and is very effective if you get the right pose!
Thank you!
Nice, thank you
thank you!!
Good info. Does this apply to the GFX 100 system?
Greetings from Russia, Chris! My wife from the Irkutsk ;) And I had this bike too around that time )))
Thank you!!!
Thank you for sharing these tips. I like the part of artistic vision. Sometimes I just want to take pic of beautiful view during sightseeing rather than focus on one object. Could you share how to take a nice pic when you are during sightseen? Thanks.
You’re an 80s guy like me…love the old tunes!
Switching from Pentax to Fujifilm was and is still, a challenge but it is what makes photography so much good fun.
Chris, thank you for great video. Is it somehow possible to, when face detection is on, to have manual exposure and only to focus on the face? I dont like how camera exposes when eye detection is on.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻awesome tips
First thing I learned about photography ... find a great subject!
Thank u ❤
Сhris, when you did those photos in the beginning of the vidoe? It looks coooool and remind me of my childhood. Of course it was done in Russian. I have the same helmet in my garage that the second child has on a bike. And of course thanks for the video! I love my x-t4 and your videos are very useful!
This is my kind of video
Best wishes from Moscow! ❤
Nice!
Enjoyed the video……
Any practical suggestion for an Affinity Photo user on how to tether fuji cameras now that Capture One Express has gone?
A small hint: try using a tripot when you can. IBIS is good but in my experience with Fuij, you will always get a slightly lower sharpness with IBIS on. And of course, switch it off when using a tripod.
Hi' I have the XT5 do you need to switch of the camera stabilising on a tripod, like you do on a lens? thank you
I was pulling (what remains of) my hair out trying to get the Auto ISO to work on my X-T3 and it just wouldn't work even though I had the ISO dial on A. Apparently if you have either front or rear command dials set to ISO control, you need to scroll them all the way up before they turn to "ISO Auto 1".
I have a fujifilm finepix HS30EXR and I take these techniques to heart. Even with a bridge camera, I can make 16 megapixel images better than some 100 megapixel pictures
What is a bridge camera?
@@inquisitvem6723 Bridge cameras are cameras that fill the niche between relatively simple point-and-shoot cameras and interchangeable-lens cameras such as mirrorless cameras and single-lens reflex cameras (SLRs). They are often comparable in size and weight to the smallest digital SLRs (DSLR), but lack interchangeable lenses, and almost all digital bridge cameras lack an optical viewfinder system. The phrase "bridge camera" has been in use at least since the 1980s, and continues to be used with digital cameras. The term was originally used to refer to film cameras which "bridged the gap" between point-and-shoot cameras and SLRs.

Bridge camera are those that are a bridge between compact cameras and cameras with changeable lenses. Fujifilm and Panasonic / Lumiix do some great ones with zoom lenses.They tend to have smaller sensors than mirrorless or DSLRs.

I love this channel and the St. ISO advice, but, after following the settings advice, my XT3 isn't showing what ISO the camera is choosing in the viewfinder when half pressing the shutter. It shows and remains showing 3200..all the time. A setting I've inadvertently set? I also see my XT3 has no option for photometry in the camera settings to choose center weighted etc. Any advice?
Greetings, I have been following your videos and learning Fujifilm Camera. I have entry level Fujifilm X-A3, the quality of photos is awesome. Recently I have bought a used Fujinon 27 mm f 1:2.8 lens , but the lens is showing error, I updated the firmware the problem still persists. The lens is in mint condition and working fine on X-T3 body of previous owner. My kit lens Fujinon 15-45 and 35 mm f 1.4 manual lens are working pretty well on Fuji X-A3 body. I am disappointed with it. May be new firmware update from Fujifilm my resolve the problem?? I have tried to reset the camera , took the battery and re mounted but nothing works.
Chris I new in Fudjii world
Can use XT5 setting as you presented to XS20 camera
Or they doesn’t work with XS20
Would you recommend using eye/face AF for weddings and portraits? The downside is that photometry settings are not available and sometimes the exposure is too bright in certain areas of the image, especially the sky, so I'm wondering if there is a solution.
Thanks for video.
By the way, if i set up my BW on 5600K and shift Blue to +10... it will be 5400K ? :)
And if setup minimal 2500K with Blue +10 it became over 2200K ?
Bicycle "Олимпик" 👍
I have recently switched from Sony to Fuji. Excellent camera, I have X-S20. I just can't find anywhere how to use C1,C2... and recipes, you can turn off automode. I want full control like M mode, but in custom settings I can't...
