- Hey new Fujifilm camera users. Sharing how I set up a new Fujifilm camera. The beauty of these cameras, though, is you can customize them to fit how YOU shoot!! Don't feel you have to copy what I do. Find what works. Don't be afraid to change your mind. Like every week. (points to self). Check the comments. People are cool here.

I choose ‘shoot without camera’ function. It’s so liberating.
i see what you are trying to do there. how smart
colin young
👍😂
Name your C1, C2 etc custom jpeg settings so you know what they are.. And set up auto iso settings to your preferred shooting. example set 1 daylight, set 2 lower light, set 3 night or very dark.
Just bought my X-T3 today, this video is just perfectly timed! Thanks Omar for your exceptional content!
Enjoy it!
Same here 🙌
Ditto! 35% off SRP! Best bargain! 🤣
I'm going to have to watch this several times...
Shoot without card I prefer to turn off. When I gave camera to my mom once, but forgot to put sd card, she did entire day of shooting not knowing that no picture was saved (she isn't an expert in modern cameras and tech etc). I also turn down highlights and shadows. For touch screen I chose timer and RGB histogram (I tend to do long exposures often that's why timer). Yeah, had some fun with film simulation bracketing, although I didn't expect camera to do one jpeg and one raw for each film sim (though it's only for jpegs and one raw).
Thanks for your always informative, never dull videos!
Absolutely the most useful Fujifilm video ever made. Thanks!
Again perfect timing Omar. Picked up my T2 yesterday and need all the setting up help and advice I can get 👌
I’ve been shooting with an XT 3and just purchased the XT4 this was a really great tutorial thanks Omar
5+ years with Fuji and I've seen multiple videos like this but you still got me to change 3 very useful settings 👍
Just want to thank you Omar. You included "shoot without a lens" setting in your camera setup. This got me thinking - as I'd been changing this setting whenever I changed from Fuji lens to older MF lenses ever since I got an adapter. Yesterday, I switched from my 7Artisan lens back to Fuji 27mm and it worked just fine - without having to hunt through menus to change settings. I'd always assumed this would negate the electronic connections on Fuji lenses - I was wrong and this is so liberating. Many thanks to you and your channel.
Omar, you’re killing it with these uploads man! Keep it goingggggg
Oh wow, I did not know about that "All AF" setting!
Love this, I'm planning to buy xt3 soon..can't wait
Finally had some time to sit down with my new X-T3 and watch this entire video -- thanks! Was nice to update the firmware via my phone.
Very useful, thanks. I would definitely add Shooting with no CARD OFF. It would be very unusual to shoot without a card, so this cannot be a default setting.
Hi Omar! I have the front buttom to activate the Boost mode, it is helpful when I'm shooting in quiet places but suddenly I see something that needs a bit of more power. Also, the front wheel is to finely regulate the shutter speed, and the back one to choose my focus zoom in manual focusing assistance :D
Thanks my Xs10 Come tomorrow can't wait to set it up!
For when I shoot with a flash, I like to keep one of the buttons set to turn the exposure preview off to keep the EVF and screen from being too dim to compose.
I just ran into that problem today; thanks for the solution! (Now I just need to find it in the menu...)
Just got my XT-3 a couple days ago. This is perfect, thanks!
Simple and to the point . Thumbs up
wow thank you for a great video....i was able to finally understand the cutom buttons.......thank you .
Excellent video. Thanks 👍🏻
Some very good tips here. A couple I'm passing on for now, but will try later.
Sally's... yum! Now I have to re-watch and make a list!
Thanks so much -excellent tips!
OMG this helps sooooo oooo oooooo much!! Thank you!
Thanks Omar!
Nice - will be using this for my new (old) X-T20
Awesome Omar and i am desperately waiting Video on XT3. Really thanks and appreciate your effort to towards our community. Your Awesome buddy and let me tell you one thing you have excellent skills to make understand the things with practical session. I am following you since my XT2 and recently I got my XT3. After looking your videos. 👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the kind words. Cancels out the haters! 😃
Thank you for this video!!! I'm pretty new to fujifilm so this is brilliant! Do you have any plans to do a video on your custom simulations?
This was really handy - thank you! I had set my rear dial button press to punch in for focus check (I, too, back-button focus), but didn't know about the lens focus ring punch-in option.
Yes! The dial is default set to punch in. Great Fujifilm feature.
Thanks Omar 😃
Cool 😎 many thanks 👍
Activating the back button focus is crucial for me and I also attribute the function button (the FN button on top of the screen) for the AF-C custom settings. This allows me to modify the autofocus settings for continuous mode on the fly, very handy when photographing wildlife or sports.
HI, Great review! I wish I had this 2 months ago when bought my XT3. Been 'following you', meaning channel ;-) and helped (really) a lot on my sports settings. Cheers Note: found that we are pretty aligned with the same settings but at least I'm going to recheck mine in 7 out of 15, so still improving thanks to your review.
Also Noise Reduction set to -4
totally.. Part of my jpeg looks
I've always heard that. It sounds confusing because I would think 0 would be no noise reduction. So I'm wondering what -4 does to the image.
Garret Gray nope. -4 is off and 0 is like the standart
Omar Gonzalez Photography is this setting only for JPEG or, can/should you use with Raw+Fine?
Interesting... but why all this "aversion" to noise reduction? :)
Very well explained
Thanks for the tips Omar! Fun and informative as always. Question: I seem to recall seeing somewhere Ho you can change the number of items shown in the Q menu (4, 8, 12, 16). I’d like to add to the default 8 offered in movie mode on my X-T4. Thanks!
Hi Omar, thanks for the video!
Would love to see some of your looks! I always end up dissatisfied if I mess with shadows/highilights/sharpness/noise reduction etc. settings , so I leave them at 0 :/
Love it! Great video. I've just switched from 5Diii to X-T3 after giving up professional photography but still wanting something... meaty. I've been working my way through things and experimenting and so far my biggest gripe is that if I have it set to EVF + eye sensor (to save battery life) that I can't use the LCD to look at the menus - it's driving me nuts. Is there a workaround for this? Other than hitting the 'view mode' button continually to cycle through the options?
Wonderful video! I did everything you suggested here and it's a great start for a new Fujifilm user, except for the Fujifilm app, which sucks :)
I use the front button as my back button because my second finger automatically rests there when shooting and I never have to feel about for a button at the back. I use the AFL button as an alternative playback button for using the camera one-handed.
Thanks for the quick tips! What is so surprising is that I cannot find a single thorough in depth guide on how to set up a Fuji camera. Not talking about a five minute video? Just came from Sony and ambassadors and regular users have 30-1 hour plus videos that go through all of the settings, the menu options one by one etc.
I am finally part of the Fujifilm family!
Another great video. So do have a function button to quickly engage the electronic shutter rather than going into the menu?
I have mine set to shoot raw+jpeg. I like using custom film simulations for my jpegs. So..that leads me to swipe. I have one of my swipe gestures set to bring up my list of custom settings so I can switch between them quickly.
Will you go into detail to discuss tip #10 In a future video? Lol. I set up my custom settings same as yours when I first started with Fuji a few months back! But I think that was only one custom setting. Lol. Really helped me out a lot 😁
Great reference Omar, thanks. Do you have a similar video that goes through the customization of your XT20?
I've been a back-button focus guy for years and, like you, I shoot most of the time in Manual focus mode using the rear button for AF. (The one labeled AF-L because...OCD) With AF-C, I find it is easier to let the shutter button activate focus. With moving subjects, I want the camera to continue focusing all the way through the process of pressing the shutter.
@S Tra I find that when I'm using AF-C, I never take my finger off the focus button so it's easier to half-press the shutter button continuously than keep the AF-L button depressed while also pressing the shutter when I take a shot. If you keep your camera permanently set to AF-C, as I did with my Canon 5D-series bodies, then what I suggested wouldn't make sense. In my experience, Fuji's AF-C isn't nearly as good when used this way.
short and to the point
Had to pause every few seconds to take notes. Great stuff. I will add "MF/AF: MF Setting -> Focus Assist: Focus Peak Highlight" for manual lenses.
Kudos for the "Swingers".
Just sitting down with my new x-t3. Thanks..
"This is prefect for a flower's stamen." Lmao idk why this made me laugh so hard
A-mazing! :p
Great video Omar. My question is XT3 vs A7c?.
Those cameras are so customizable! They only miss one feature: disabling the red indicator led on the back. Better not having it in your eye when making astrophotography in the dark
Got also X-T3, day and night difference in AF compared to X-T2, also in making videos.
I can tell you are very happy with new camera lol
Hello Omar, I enjoy your videos.one question, do you know if fujifilm is going to fix their app so that firmware update for lenses can be done in camera?txs
Omar I’ve been following you since I got my Fuji X-T20! I want to upgrade my camera but confused if I should change to different brands? But I bought lots of lenses for Fujifilm already and I don’t want to start fresh! What Fujifilm would you suggest? You take great photos! I like to travel and fujifilm been so handy. I like taking travel videos as well! Any suggestions?
Hi Omar, does humidity affects our camera? Should we have to store our camera and lens in dehumidifier cabinet? Pls do video on this if possible.. thank you in advance
Have you looked into the E-Front Curtain Shutter? I have mine set to EF+M+E as from what I hear, the EF may double the life of the shutter since it is essentially only using the mechanical second curtain to close and it may also make the shutter slightly quieter. Or something like that... I'm still experimenting. Also... The clip at the end... me too, my friend. Me too.
I did think of using it...but have been going with the original way. Good idea. Cheers.
Just curious why don't you use the EF-M-E for Shutter Type. Would make it easier on the mechanical shutter wouldn't it. Is there a difference with the results when using Electronic vs Mechanical at the lower shutter speed?
Omar - does any Fuji lens has focus ring like leica glass? Which is short trail from minimal focus to infinity.
My front button is set to Preview Exposure on and off so I can toggle to see what I’m framing when using a flash.
I think I enjoyed that a little too much!! Because.... BOOST MODE!!
2:43 Is that the old bike store on W15th and 6th lol
Thank you Omar. I don’t even have a Fuji and I watch all your videos! One day I hope to have one though. You’re funny and so helpful, much appreciated 😄🙏
The first setting I change is...power. From off to on. 😋
Hey Omar, how comes that you never tried the Fujifilm X-Pro3 here on your channel? Not your preferred form factor or never got a chance to test one without buying? Would love to see a video on the XPro3 from you. And also a custom film simulation setting rundown? Okay, stay safe and thanks for keep on doing these videos 😀
The settings can be applied on the x-s10 as well?
so im about to buy a fuji xt 20. I'm coming from an olympus evolt e 210. Can i mount lenses from the olympus to the fuji in any way?
thanks
Great video! Just got my x100v, first digital camera in over 10 years. Question about focus: when I hold the shutter button down halfway it usually goes from blurry to focused back to blurry. I’m sure this is a newbie thing. I’m set to Single mode and set to AF on the right side of the screen. Thanks for any help!
It's probably showing you a "depth of field preview." So you'll see the blurry parts of the photograph. Or...sometimes the Fujifilm cameras hunt before they're happy. lol
Hi can you please do camera tutorial on how to set up the fujifilm xs10.... I'm a beginner so please 🙏 help..thank you
Is there any reason why turning off shutter AF for AF-C?
I found that I have already been used to shutter AF rather than back button AF in all cases... (except AF during Manual focus mode)
Do you have similar tutorial for holy baby X-T20 ?
Any chance to coustom switch to still to movie mode.
can we shoot our function button for quick switching between photo and video
because boost mode !
you use capture one?
Hi Omar,
I know that FujiFilm camera's are not your first choice professionally. But even so are you able to tell how you experiences are with the FujiFilm Camera Remote app when paired with different fujiFilm camera's. Does that lead to any problems or does the app recognise the camera you have active and paired. I expect to have my second FujiFilm camera some time soon but will never part from my first X-T20 (just like you never will).
I font-button focus with the front function button... I find it easier, no thumb in the way when I press my eye on the viewfinder
Interesting. Cool.
OMG! Me too!
I thought I was the only one.
Absolutely! Have tried several FN buttons and this is the best. I work in M most of the time. AF mode set to ALL. SS dial to T and ISO dial to A. Aperture ring is manual. Right thumb works back command dial for SS, right forefinger works front command dial for ISO, and 2nd finger is on front FN button for focus. Works well!
@@kotzjohn Drat. I found a flaw in the system. :-(
With the battery grip attached, and shooting portrait (i.e. camera on it's side), that button no longer lines up.
@@david.stachon Not sure what you mean by "that button no longer lines up." I have a battery grip on and shoot a lot with the 100-400 for birds. A bit more awkward in portrait mode than in landscape but no problem. Use it on both XT2 and XT3. Maybe you mean the from FN button and shutter button are not aligned? Correct, but you get used to it.
good walkthrough, I am just annoyed that shooting in full manual ISO and shutter locks out manual exposure compensation, I thought this was only a thing with my X-T100 but I guess it is just a thing with all Fujis
One of the 3 settings has to be in auto for exposure compensation. Same with all cameri
Hi brother, i have doubt..i have a new xt-20. But after am setting all if i remove the battery, the whole settings will remain as new..can u advise how it csn be saved?
1:35 Id there really no option there for front command dial? I can’t use mine for some reason even if I swap between ss/f only the rear dial works… did I just broke the camera?
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
olá, você deve colocar fotografar sem lente quando usa um adaptador para outra marca ? obrigada Brasil!!!
Any idea why i have AF points greyed out? I cant change it to 425 :( Just bought xt3 and im bit struggling with it
What does boost mode really do?
I went last week to my local camera shop to buy an X-T3 as an upgrade to my X-T20. It turns out someone had been in earlier that day to trade in his X-T4. It didn't fit in his workflow. It had a shutter count of less than 1000. Paid $500 off the retail price and came with an extra battery and the Fujifilm charger. I feel pretty lucky! Thanks for the timely video!
Dam, if only I had known about mechanical + electronic shutter last week, I wouldn’t have ruined a heap shots.
Always shoot boost mode... What does it actually change?
Hi Omar, Could you create a video with all your jpeg custom looks and the use for each of them? I know that you have several videos for different situations, but it could be a good starting point to have them all together. Thanks!
That would be perfect!

You should check these out
Question for Omar and all: If you were going to Europe for a 2 week trip, and you need to pack light, what lens/lenses would you bring for an xt30? I own the 18-55, the 50-140, and the 12mm Samyang. Do I get the 16-80 and bring just the 1 lens? Do I get the 55-200 and bring 3 lenses? I'm not bringing the 50-140 as it's way too heavy but I also don't want to miss a longer reach. Should I forget a long range lens altogether? The FOMO is killing me.
55-200 is also very heavy. Rather get the 50-230. It's cheap but still very good and a lot lighter.
Then use the kit lens and that
I like all your settings. Would you believe? 👌
What button should i set my histogram?
Why do you switch to 425 AF points? All it really does is slow you down when you're trying to select an AF point. It doesn't do anything when you're using an AF mode other than single-point.
i click like. coz... boost mode
