When you do candid street photography, you would want flexible settings, so in this video, I show you how I, with my Fuji X-T3, have made my custom shooting settings.
My street photography camera settings:
- Maximum ISO of 1600
- Minimum shutter speed of 1/250s

I was born in Mexico City 61 years ago and I lived there for 49 years: most of my life. I'm glad you're enjoying the city and its wonderful people. I enjoyed your video specially when you were struggling in giving a good explanation about exposure. At the end you did a good job while explaining it! Greetings from Toronto Ontario, Canada where I reside since 2008. ¡Viva México! 📷👍🏻
Awesome video! I'm self taught & have a difficult time with the more technical side of photography. You explained things in such a clear way and your examples are really helpful. Beautiful photos from you as well! First and only UA-cam Channel I've ever subscribed to!
recently picked an X-H1 with XF 18-55 and love it. my composition is pretty decent, but my technical understanding of settings is pretty limited. you explained certain things in way that made it easy for me to understand. thanks for sharing and love your images.
Love you part at the end on exposure... which is basically the Zone system, which I have been trying to put into practice.
Great video!
Love your stuff Frederik! Love all the street photography stuff
Thank you.. Love the way you deliver.. Hope you do more like this... Im almost frightened of my camera and have no confidence..
My gear: trovatten.com/gear/ Look, I know camera settings are very subjective, but for me, this works great in most situations! What settings do you use for street photography? This is my favorite camera settings for street photography at night: ua-cam.com/video/AVbiimnq-Rk/v-deo.html
Great tutorial Frederik 👍 I'll try out your settings to see if I can get cleaner shots. I usually setup my X-T1 with a 6400 max ISO and 1/500th often get noisy pics. I only own manual lenses so the focus isn't always great but I'm saving up for the XF 23 f2 to try out Fuji autofocus 😁
I have a question. You mentioned pointing the camera at the light in order to get the correct exposure. How do you do this if you are focusing on a subject? Does this only work for f/8 + where the entire frame is in focus?
Great content! Thank you for creating. Would love to see a video on your "indoor" process of exposure! Keep up the great work!
Well done Frederik! I really like the way you explain the subject. I go soon on a river cruise in Europe, stopping at different towns. These suggestions will be very helpful. I will be using Canon 5D4 with 24-105mm IS L lens. Thanks again.
Very useful! Looking forward for your tips on low light photography, especially street in low light!
you explain things in such a nice way, thank you!
First time I watch a photography tips video and understand everything mentioned. Frederik, you're a great teacher.
Very true. I'm a total amateur and I'm thinking of buying a new lens. I ended up watching a video today where they referred to the model of camera I have as a piece of sh*t. (Its a cheap entry level camera, but I think what they said was a bit harsh.)
It's always nice when people make things accessible for everyone.
Perfect summation of how to meter while streetshooting. You covered digital as well as film. And suggested getting aperture and shutter priority knowledge before making the leap to full manual. This was a very good mini tutorial for beginners. And a good refresher for a seasoned street photographer. Great video.
Thanks a lot! It was a bit tricky to explain but I’m glad you liked it!
thanks for the good content man, lots of good info
I'll use aperature priority and area focus point for street portraits: it's the fastest and efficient way that I've found. If there is an interesting scene or I'm sitting and waiting by an interesting view, I'll go to focus point. I mostly use continuous auto focus as I have a camera that has detection across the screen.
This was so helpful. Thank you!
Great video and really helpful! I’m new to photography so still learning, well, everything haha! These settings tips are great. I have a Canon 200D so I’m going to try them out tomorrow! Thanks!
This is really helpful, thank you!
I’ve watched about 10 of your videos and I’ve become a fan, thank you for sharing your knowledge in a fun and entertaining way, come to Canada sometime :)
Very practical tips, thanks
thanks for the effort and the sharing. still relevant a year later. as for focus, when using center point, do you focus and then recompose even with very shallow apertures? i am an appreciative subscriber. thumbs up.
Very useful and easy to understand. Thanks man, keep doing what you're doing!
Thanks mate!
I love the way you explain dark and bright part lol. love from Nepal
Thanks man! Very helpful
Great explanation!!
More clear, impossible... Thank you👍🙏
Thanks, Usually I use similar settings and the best is to have manual aperture lens.
I agree. Makes perfect sense.
👍 Informative and nicely done post, Frederik, complete w/photo bomb pedestrian and “Easter Egg” camera on ledge at 4.7 to see if folks are paying attention? We are! Super images, too. Q about auto ISO - some cams don’t display exact ISO chosen by cam until shutter half-press, when it might be too late to change. When and how does your Fuji display the specific ISO for a given scene when you set ISO to auto? For focusing would zone focus (per manual mode) be practical for you? Your vids never disappoint.
Thank you for your explanation. What metering mode do you use?
Hi - great vid. That's roughly how I consider things but I then get a bit stuck when picking which exposure method/telemetry to use... which would you recommend?
Finally! Been waiting a while for this one👀
I usually just shoot full manual -with my Fuji light meter. More control👀
hah yea I lot of you have asked for this one! I don't do much tutorials like that, but maybe I should!
@@FTrovatten Yeah, I'm studying photography. And we are basically forced to shoot full on manual. With a light meter. And it's shit af for street photography, but what the hell. I'm going to try your settings once I leave for my next street photography trip. Thanks for another video, hope you'll reach that patreon goal to hire an editor😂 (I would totally do your editing for free btw 👀)
Very useful....and fun to watch.
Appreciate it!
Just found your channel Frederik. I'm an amateur photographer. I'm mainly using aperture priority I don't have time to change all the settings.
Hi Frederik!!! I find you a very brave man waking on your own through the streets of Mexico, great videos... I just set up my XT3 to the settings that you said on the video but how do I have to set the dial to be sure that the camera applies those settings? Best regards
Beautiful camera settings for street photography.!!
Great video. Super helpful. So I have a question. When you set the shutter & ISO for min & max range does that mean you shoot in Auto mode?
So interesting to hear what works best for you Frederik. Really informative video, well done my friend.
Thank you Fiona! Glad you could use it :)!
Don’t worry! You made a lot of sense when you talked about the shadows and highlights, bro. Thanks!
i was gonna say the exact same thing!
Quick, informative and interesting. Quality content 👌😃
Thx!
Great video. If you do your ISO settings and try to shoot outside these parameters, the camera will refuse to shoot?
Nice video as always. Low light tips would be welcome future video :)
You're the best on youtube👏👏👏
Y la medición de la luz y el tipo de enfoque que usas? Gracias por estos videos tan educativos.
Great video. What about your preferred focal length for street photography?
lol well done got yah on the exposure good job.. thanks
Hi! I like this video a lot, I am struggling so much with my xt3. If I shoot with my point and shoot analog. Always nice colours etc. If I shoot with my xt-3, always a lot of contrast and highlights. When you make photo's do you always shoot in raw or in a JPG recipe?
 very good video in the street photo is very good to have its benchmarks parameters, You it is the priority to the opening others it's going to be in manual personally it's been 55 years I'm doing the picture so I acquired automatisms in manual very precise
Thank you!
@4:22, you want to understand how film cameras work.. Based on 18% grey and why we used a grey card to set exposure. When the scene is too bright the camera wants to balance exposure. What you can do is lock exposure and recompose keeping that exposure, ie shoot in manual exposure and use auto focus to focus. Search the term exposure triangle, reciprocal shutter speed rule
Thank you Frederik!
Glad you liked it Dylan!
nice one , got any idea to review a camera monitor ?
great tips man keep going! 😊😀
Thanks Zachary!
Hej Frederik. Thanks for these tips. I would like to see you setup your camera for low light. I would imagine you set a fixed shutterspeed? Otherwise, the camera will just lower it automatically and cause the images to be blurred.
I got my first ever camera X-T20 week ago. I am a beginner photographer. I am interested in shooting with the Aperture priority mode, auto ISO and auto Shutter speed. What auto ISO settings should I set and do I need to set on Auto 1, 2 or 3? You got a new subscriber. Thanks.
Edit: I will shoot with kit lens 18-55mm
What metering mode you use and how do you expose for the highlight? Do you use spot metering on highlight and press AE lock and then recompose? What's your way?
Hey !!! Un gusto verlo nuevamente!!
👊🏼
Awesome video Fred 👌
Thanks :)!
Great video - Made me laugh - Do you ever use Zone Focusing for street photography when shooting film?
I've been waiting for this! I am going to CDMX next weekend and I am dying to shoot there! Thanks for another fantastic video!
Thanks great! You’ll love it here for photos! :)
@@FTrovatten Where is your favorite place for tacos? We are excited to eat our way through the city!
Go to Cocuyos in downtown and the taco stand at the corner of Calle Colima and Merida :)
@@FTrovatten I'll add it to the list! If we run into you there free tacos on us for all your amazing videos! Can't miss me I'll be the guera ordering in bad spanish!
I find that single point focus gets in the way of me taking quick street photos. It takes me a few seconds to line up. Using zone focusing seems to be better since I don't have to focus at all. However, once I'm out of my range, I'm in trouble. Do you have any tips for speeding up single point focusing? Can you show us in a video how you do it? A lot of the shots I see on your videos seem to be point and shoot moments without time for focusing. Thanks! Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the video but I have a couple of questions: What mode of measurement? Matrix or punctual? and the focus area? Best regards.
Enjoyed and subscribed 👍😀
Welcome on board Edwin! Appreciate it!
Great video, and some great images, I shoot fuji and will give this stuff a try.
Thx John! Appreciate it!
Perfect!
Great videos , the most beautiful country mexico ,hope can visit some time from miami Fla. Thanks ...great job beautiful pictures
Thanks Miguel! I might go to Miami next month to shoot for Four Seasons actually!
thanks great tips
Glad you could use it Lee!
LOL - My stomach turned when you walked away from the camera
I was confused! Haha
Focused @@FTrovatten haha! If that was Barcelona it would've been goooone! (: Also, "dynamic range" is a good way to describe the darkest darkside and the brighter bright part.
@@streetyskater haha I've actually gotten pickpocket in Barcelona once many years ago!
Hope it wasn't too bad of a loss!
Yeah me too
This is maybe the best video that i watch 6 in the morning taking a shit and i was laughin my ass off... 🤣🤣🤣
USEFUL
Great tips.
Thx mate!
Hi.. Can i know why you use fuji? What the strong and weaknesses
So if you automate your camera settings to max 1600 iso and min 1/205s shutterspeed, when you walk around the street and ad hoc make pictures, does the camera itself automatically choose an iso and shutterspeed and you only manually set aperture/zoom yourself??
Use whatever works for you. I shoot manual all the time. I like full control and I’ve learned to be very quick. All that matters is capturing the shot.
I use the Cannon 5D Mark I. I can not preset shutter set or the iso . Any advise? Thanks
Do you use DR setting to protect the highlights?. Cheers Ian.
love this!
PS these street shots are getting so good!
Thanks Wesley!
Can't wait to film in New York soon!
What ISO/Shutter Speed settings would you recommend for night shots?
Man I did exactly the same with flicker and guessing the lens and aperture!
There seem to be more strategies
* using face detect so faces are exposed correctly
* using full manual settings so photos are consistent and you don't need to think about overexposed parts
* using EV compensation knowing your camera and/or checking histogram or image
I'm using Panasonic and I have new Fuji, I feel like there's a huge difference. Panasonic allows some highlight recovery and it likely compresses highlights so photos are brighter without overexposed parts, Fuji seems to have darker shadows, more contrast and less dynamic range in JPEGs, but shadow recovery is no problem. Another difference is that on Fuji, exposure is affected by focus area. It's quite hard to get used to it.
Thanks!
Hi Kevin,
Thank you so so much! Coffee on you today!
Great job
Thx Jaime!
Keep up the great content Frederik😍👍
Would love to see something about doing street photography in Low light situation.
Thanks again😊
Thanks Neil, I will :)!
Do you maybe know if i can set up my camera (sony a7ii) to settings like you? With custom program with max iso1600 and min shutter speed at 1/250? All i find in custom programs is min and max iso, but i cant set min shutter speed. Im stupid or this camera just dont have it?
I am a Nikon User, I setup my Shutter and ISO as per your guidance, but still when I captured my pic info said Sutter is 1/25 or 1/50 only.. can advise in Nikon how to achieve default settings.
If you point the camera to the dark side but focus on the bright side. Will it still overexpose?
I mean, does the single point focus decide on the exposure or does just the view of the camera does it?
what metering are you using?
Thanks for the great video. A video on focusing would be greatly appreciated. I struggle sometimes with my Fuji X T-20
Spot metering, or center weighted average?
Hey Frederik! Just wanted to say that you've inspired me to improve my street photography and also try taking street photo vlogs just like you! Just wanna thank you for inspiring us amateur street photographers
Thanks a lot mate! That’s always great to hear!
Thanks 🙏
Now you know, right :)?
Gostei bastante, tentar fotografar com a Nikon d3200
You forgot to mention that those settings for max ISO / min shutter speed are only applicable if you set the camera to use AUTO ISO mode. But yes those are good settings for street. Not sure about single point vs Continuous AF though. Sony had better AF than Fuji so maybe for some cameras.... Great pix btw. Keep it up
Great video
from India
Thx India!
Do you use JPEG or RAW Frederik? thank you!
Nice video 👍 please do one for the night shoot and one for nightclubs shooting... thamks
Thanks! I’ll do a low light / night photography soon!
Awesome.
Thx mate!
Love your work and the way you explain stuffs. I’m a x-t1 street photographer, and hesitate between an alpha iii and a x-t3 to do great low light shooting. Cheers.
Hi Alex! Thanks! I’m sure both cameras will do fine! I’m happy with the X-T3 in general.
Were they all taken with 35mm 1.4? Great work.. Inspiring!
Yep! Ty :)
so in this video the settings he is making the max and min values for the shutter and iso for when he shoots in aperture priority mode?? he says he only adjusts aperture manually so rest is auto, that's aperture priority mode isn't it?. sorry really new here.
