Great job. You use pre-af, which I tend not to as it is a bit of a battery drain-but I back button a lot to set focus about where I think it will need to be. But have you tried pre-shot with the electronic shutter? I don’t get to play with that much. Wondering if it helps get keepers, or just more out of focus shots. Outdoors I often use MS+ES since occasionally the lighting is too strong. But in theory pre-shot may help get a few moments since I am always slower than the moment, if that makes sense.
Thank you for sharing your experiences! Back Button focus is a feature I use a lot myself actually..Just forgot to mention it in this video 👀😁 I will actually make some testing on the pre-shot feature and share my thoughts on it :) Thanks for watching and following along!
What do you think about xt3 af capabilities for fast moving subjects? I adore my xt3 and would like to keep it as long as it works, but I don’t shoot fast pace action. When watching youtube complains about Fuji afc in old xt gen cameras I get impression that they are seriously limited when it comes to fast and reliable afc? By the way, great video!!!

The quality will be bad anyway, too much air in between. You use it sometimes for detail shots of birds which are in a short distance. So this is valid for all extreme tele focal lengths. Another wildlife photographer once said: Even if you have 600mm you photograph birds in a distance of some meters. This is the biggest misconception I had: taking pictures with a tele doesn't mean making pictures of birds a mile away. And do not then zoom in in Lightroom to 500% and think: what a bad quality. This wouldn't work even if you spent 20k for your gear.
Is the tracking AF really reliable for bird /wildlife photography in fujifilm ??? I have xt4 and i am thinking to get another setup (camera+lens) from other brands for bird/wildlife!!
I have to say it’s far from perfect compared to other systems. If you want to stay within the Fujifilm system, consider the XH2s… it’s really good in my opinion.. but the xt3&xt4 are not the best. However in my opinion it’s about how you use the gear and getting creative to get the shots you want:)
Thanks a lot for your shoot, I enjoyed your video.
Thank you!:)
Love your videos!! Thanks!
Thank you!! More coming soon
Just got a Fujifilm X-S10 and will go on a trip to photograph whales. This was super helpful, thanks!

Hey, Thanks!
I think it is okay, but you will definitely miss some shots here and there. So far it works for me tho :)
Thank you!
Glad this was helpful✨
