Extremely helpful video!! After much research, I decided on the X-T3 to satisfy my “amateur enthusiast” photography/video desires. The body and several lenses arrived this past week. This video was invaluable regarding the menus and where to begin. Your efforts in making this available are deeply appreciated!!
Thank you so much for the feedback. I’m super happy to hear that you found value in this video. Let me know if there is anything else I can do and happy shooting! 🤘🏻
I have had the X-T3 for a couple of years but did not have it set up properly until I came upon your video. I watched it assiduosly and copied a lot of your settings. I will see how things go. Now a subscriber to your channel. Thank you.
Great help to someone new to the x-t3. A little more about why you chose what you did on some of these would have been helpful as well as why you chose not to mention some of the settings.
Very informative video. I like the way you went all the way through the options - thanks! I've been shooting with Fuji for a few years now and just retired my trusty X=E2. Snagged the X-T3 for $999 last week! I especially liked the video section because I haven't even dabbled in that. I too love to adapt lenses. I've got 7 old film-era lenses, Nikon, Asahi SMC, Yashinon, etc. I've subscribed to your channel as well.
Thanks for thé feedback and fir the subscription! I am glad you found value in the content I shared. I’m just starting to go back to my Asahi Pentax SP1000 so I might need tips from you ;)
Great video!! Now i have a xt4.... pleas help me.... how can i let 2 different fps profile pre ajusted?? Like the canons c1 an c2.... becaus in trips i shot in 24 p.... but in some cenes, i want to jump to 60p fast... to make b rolls..... whats is the best way??
Excellent video. Detailed and extremely easy to follow. Full of great information to get started with this camera. Thank you very much. Subscribed. John Krambrink
Well done vid. Shooting in RAW unfortunately eliminates the Fuji film simulations in the photo mode. I recently started shooting in the ASTIA mode. I find it amazing and no need to spend time in post as well as being consistent in the way I like to shoot photos and video as well.
Watched the whole video from beg to end. Excellent!!!. However, I copied all your settings but at the end when you accessed your "MY" settings, mine is not enabled. Can't find where to enable that. Thanks again. Happy new subscriber.
for videography and film which is good XS10 or Xt3 this are only my budget range xt4 are expensive. Please guide and you prefer planning to buy but I dont know which one both are good cameras.
Depends on what’s more important for you: Image stabilisation (X-S10) or weather sealing (X-T3). The image quality is pretty much the same, with the X-t3 having a bit more options for CODEC and bit rates.
Hi FL! Thanks for the feedback. These should be gold for street. For night photography, you might want to allow the camera to get to higher ISO speeds. Cheers!
Hi, thanks for the helpful video. I have Fuji X-E2 bought first many years back. I also recently bought the X-T3 but for some reason the photos are coming out way darker then initially shot. Would you happen to know why this might be happening? If I use the same lens on my X-E2 with same settings, the photos are perfectly fine but on X-T3, the photos are much darker. Would appreciate any help / suggestions on this. Thanks alot in advance. Naushil
Thanks, I’m glad you found the video helpful! As for the “darker” photos on the X-T3, not sure what’s happening here, but make sure you don’t have the exposure compensation dial engaged when you take the photo or the LCD screen set to a brighter setting. Hope you find a solution. Cheers!
In this video, I deep dive and share how I set my #Fujifilm #XT3 (and most of my Fuji cameras) for photography and video. If you have any question about any of these settings, please ask them down below!
Thanks for the excellent video. Could I ask a question is the on off switch on your xt3 very easy to move. Sorry to ask but don't know anyone else with xt3. Ps keep the videos coming. Thanks
Thanks for the feedback, David. I wouldn't say it "loose" but I do find myself knocking it to the "off" position fairly easily. Also, when my camera is in my travel backpack, the on/off dial sometimes gets moved. Something the Fuji engineers should look into!
@@FredRanger Thanks for reply, I tried entering a item now it’s showing. Thanks, subscribed. I have another question, I just bought a Brand New X-T3 and it has the 4.0 firmware already installed is this normal?
@@FredRanger . Wow, thanks for your time and getting back to me. The X-T3 has had 10 updates and my camera is showing the second last one 4.00 on 2020-10-28. The final one on 2021-03-18, 4.10. So I have one more update. I ordered it from B&H Photo.. I will give them a call. The camera seems new , everything spotless. I took it out for a trip today and Wow I’m impressed, I like. Greetings from Alberta Canada, stay safe. Why it was showing the Firmware updated? I ordered it when they were offering it at $300.00 off on special.
@@FredRanger . Putting a closure to this X-T3 issue, phoned Seller, recent batches from Fujifilm will show Firmware updated, Peace of Mind finally. Thanks.
Put the aperture, shutter speed and ISO dials out of any Auto mode (on the lens and camera body) and put the drive mode in video. You should be in manual the..
I just got this camera, and I finished recording a lecture, and found that the 30 minute video recording limitation is happening for this camera. I was under the impression that this camera could go beyond that (like 1.5 hours or so). Is there a way to get this camera to go past 30 min recording?
Thank you so much for the kind feedback! You could definitely use single point, but I prefer using the Zone focus settings for landscape (depending on the situation). It will allow you to identify the portion of the image that should be in focus (vs only 1 point). I would also recommend putting the zone focus 2/3 into the image and using an aperture between f/8 and f/16 (or even smaller if you lens permits it).
The X-T3 has a native ISO range of 160 through 12800. ... But you can go higher than 12800 by moving into the extended ISO range of 25600 and 51200 (there's also an extended option at the bottom end, down to 80)
I want to shoot a 4k 24p 10bit 4.2.0 VIDEO tripoded sunset on my xt-3 like I do with my sony ( check out my page to see what im talking about if you need to ) where im in aperture priority mode so that the camera can control the shutter speed automatically as the light gets dimmer and dimmer. I want my ISO set at 160 the whole time....i only want the aperture to change over time automatically by the camera...what settings do I need to set to accomplish that? ( and yes I know there's a 30 min limit to video recording. my programmer friend is working on a hack to stop that nonsense like they already have for Sony )
In 2023 I still refer back to your video when I use my XT3. Thanks
I’m glad to see they are still of value :) Let me know if you have any questions!

I’m glad I could help! Next time n need to kiss anyone, just ask me 😂
Thanks for this! I just got a new X-T3 and this is the best walk through I’ve found.
I got mine yesterday n I’m all confused how to use it 😆😆
Glad I could help! Happy shooting!
Let me know if you have questions!
This was really excellent, not just to sync my setting to your's but because you explain these features verbally. Dig it.
Glad it helped you. Happy shooting!

of course i watch your video till the end :) thanks for all the info. - Happy XT3 owner :)
You are courageous to have gone through the whole thing ;-) Cheers!
Hey brother how was your trip to France? Did you get good pictures o course you did. Thanks again for sharing!!!
Thanks my fiend! It was probably one of the most inspiring trips for my creativity! So much to shoot and stories to tell! Can’t wait to be back!

Got to love those film simulations! Less time editing, more time shooting! 🤘🏻
hi there. is there a playback setting or button so that it shows images 10 or 100 at a time? not one after the other? thanks!
You can use the scroll wheels on the back (or front) or go from single photo view to multiple on the same frame.
Watched the whole video from beg to end. Excellent!!!. However, I copied all your settings but at the end when you accessed your "MY" settings, mine is not enabled. Can't find where to enable that. Thanks again. Happy new subscriber.
Cinematic Pipe As soon as you add items to my menu through the settings tab it will open up. It’s grey because there are no items in it yet.
bro do you have a sample footage with this film simulation recipe?
Which one are you referring to?

Is it better than a7 iii in videos
Hi Fred, good tutorial. May I know if this setting is suitable for street photography and night street photography as well?
Hi FL! Thanks for the feedback. These should be gold for street. For night photography, you might want to allow the camera to get to higher ISO speeds. Cheers!
@@FredRanger Great! will try out your setting and bring out my XT3 to the streets, cheers

I was curious to know if Fuji improved their noise in lowlight for the x-t3. (I came from the older video that compared the x-h1 and the x-t3).
Not really. it is the one area that APSC isn't optimal. X-T2 and X-H1 are the same for low light performance.
Thank you, very helpful!
Glad I could help, let me know if you have any question!

Thanks for sharing. How do you get to my Menu, it keeps skipping it?
You have to have at least one item in it for it to show and default to it when you hit the menu button. Hope this helps!
@@FredRanger Thanks for reply, I tried entering a item now it’s showing. Thanks, subscribed. I have another question, I just bought a Brand New X-T3 and it has the 4.0 firmware already installed is this normal?

If want details in your shadows you should use a minus number. A plus number increases the contrast.
How to enable manual mode? It works in stills mode, but video is always AUTO. Tried everything, but cant get that M letter next to the camera symbol.
Put the aperture, shutter speed and ISO dials out of any Auto mode (on the lens and camera body) and put the drive mode in video. You should be in manual the..
Why the photo and the display on the screen different . Is it much easier if what you see on the screen and photo is the same . Can you help
Not sure I’m getting the question. Can you be more specific about your issue?
Do you need 2 SD cards to do raw + fine?
You can shoot jpeg and raw on one card, but separating the files on 2 cards is best.
I just got this camera, and I finished recording a lecture, and found that the 30 minute video recording limitation is happening for this camera. I was under the impression that this camera could go beyond that (like 1.5 hours or so). Is there a way to get this camera to go past 30 min recording?
Not that I know of. It has to do with a old law... not good.
does anyone know why my fujifilm xt3 won't give me the option to scroll down the MY menu settings??
You have to put at least 1 menu item in the My Menu for it to be selectable
Outstanding video. I’m new to the X-T3. I mostly shoot landscapes stills. Would you still keep the auto focus on single point? Thanks!

4K or 1080p?
Sir where is the slow motion video in fuji xt3
Everything is here, step by step: fujifilm-dsc.com/en/manual/x-t2/menu_shooting/movie_setting/index.html#high_speed_rec
I don't understand, why is movie mode grayed out ???
Have to be in movie mode (on the dial on top)
