I REALLY appreciate how you explain everything in Lehman‘s terms, some of other videos are so technical and as a beginner photography I don’t understand what they’re saying so it just gets frustrating, so thank you! ❤
Found another Omar video this evening (slow night) . Thanks for the pointers, my camera is set up almost identical , with another change to be made. Video, no not into that yet.
Omar, you are the best and funniest youtuber I watch. I always get a laugh out of your videos, even when I‘m at work in the office(not good)😂 Thanks for your videos!
as always, helpful. but at as a X-T1 user, i am saddled with the older menu which has fewer items available. thanks for the effort and the sharing. i am an appreciative subscriber. thumbs up.
Didn’t know you can long press the back dial to change manual focus assist. That’s cool! Sometimes the peaking gets in the way but I never tried other options like prism, etc.
Came for Fuji info , subbed for self deprecating humor, random silly phrases and weirdly bizarre voices peppered throughout. Same exact sense of humor as me 😂. ( i always wanted a brother man) LOL Seriously, you da man Omar!! Peace ✌🏻
I agree that focus peaking is very distracting, but I use it for landscape photography. Focus peaking ON for landscape photography when shooting in fully manual and shooting on a tripod. Dial in the focus I want, check with focus peaking, turn camera focus to manual and then turn off the focus peaking to shoot.
Solid collection! For manual focus assist, try split-image and pentaprism (seldom found in other brands). Had “phomo” once - a shot of penicillin cleared it up nicely😁.
Omar, I'm not sure if it's standard on all recent Fuji's, but the Focus Assist shortcut function is accessible by holding the Rear Command dial button in for a few seconds. After this subsequent presses of the button cycles the Focus Assist modes, between Digital Split, Highlighted and Off. (Don't quote me on the order).
I use those settings for most of my camera settings - except video, as I don’t do videos : it’s just me ha ha. I am sure there are many people out there had wished they had seen this video when they bought their camera , as it would have done so much to have got their images just even more super straight out of camera . But , isn’t that why we watch your videos? Well , that is one reason - the other is you ha ha. Keep them coming and thank you for sharing
"i see faces in the dark" 😂 actually happened to me a while back, toon a photo indoors near a window when it was dark out and it said that it was a face in the window. A bit creepy haha
Epic video. Most of my setting choices are the same, but some that weren't, they way you explained it make perfect sense. I don't like the Grey focus boxes personally, I find them distracting, but hey we're all different aren't we?
'MMerica - laughed my ass (arse) off. Greetings and thanks from UK. Oh and the X-T4 has more options which I would love you to do a job on - as I'm incapable of "reading a f'ing manual"
I can't use af-on, but I think it's because I shoot street and move like I'm being chased, so two button presses is just way too slow for me, or at least I am way too slow.
I don’t like Large Indicators because it eliminates the possibility of displaying the focus scale. Speaking of the focus scale (and I’m sure you understand this but your audience might not), Pixel Based DOF is more accurate than Film Based, which shows a wider DOF than you really have. That doesn’t mean it is the best or most useful choice. Personally, I’d rather use pixel-based and know the actual line in the sand which I can choose to cross (or not).
Can someone help me with my Xt2? The LCD is showing like very faint horizontal “bars”, like when you’re recording video from a TV or monitor. Those bars seem to be present on my pictures too. I checked the electronic shutter settings, and I only have it on mechanical shutter. The electronic shutter ON is the only other time I’ve seen the bars show up on a mirrorless camera screen. Any tips?
I don't shoot fuji but I still watch your videos because they are entertaining. Edit: I feel your pain when handing your camera over with BBF on. I have a Custom mode for shutter half press focus now
Hello! I'm new to fujifilm from canon and I just want to ask if there is a way to: 1.) Carry over all manual settings (iso, aperture, wb, etc.) from photo mode to movie (video) recording mode 2.) Or, Shoot a picture while on movie recording with all the manual settings intact This would really help me! Thanks a lot!
1 yard is almost equals to one meter, if you can keep that in mind, it will be much easier for you to guess the distance. Come on, give up the imperial system, your ancestors fought the imperials for their freedom, you can do it too! Metric system FTW!
@@WhoIsSerafin lol, i wouldn't even bother. It is a dead system anyways. You would be pleasantly surprised if you knew how convenient the metric system is. All units are convertible to another without a need of a calculator, no fractions, no weird equations between temperature, mass and length. I wrote this because i love you guys, and you deserve the better.
Much easier to say “I’m 6 feet” than to say “I’m 187 centimeters” Much easier to tell how hot it is outside with Fahrenheit (0 cold, 50 moderate, 100 hot) than with Celsius (-18 cold, 18 moderate, 30 hot??) Much easier to say “one cup” of coffee than “240mL of coffee” I could go on. The metric system is for science. Imperial system is superior for everyday life.
@@jeremytheoneofdestiny8691 whole world says one cup of coffee Jeremy, a cup is a cup, we don't measure things with units like cups, feet and stones lol, because it is ridiculous. All of your imperial examples are pretty much non fractional numbers. I guess you are a tailored man like i am, as i am 190 cm guy who weights exactly 100 kg, really easy for me too right? What about 5,11 feet or one sixteenth of an inch lol? Be my guest and Convert inches, feet, yards and miles among each other without using a calculator, lmao! How about ounces and stones! 😂 As an example, 1 km is 1000 meters, 1000 meters is 100,000 centimeters and 100,000 centimeters is 1000,000 millimeters. There is more. 1 ton is 1000 kilograms and 1000 kilograms is 1000,000 grams, that easy. Water freezes at 0 degrees celsius and boils at 100 degrees celsius. There is a reason every country in the world out of 4 is using metric. Because it is easy lol. Even your scientists are using metric, you can look it yourself, nothing wrong to Google it haha.
Omar! How's everything? I've watched a lot of your videos, and even take notes! I just started using my X-S10 today. It's my first non-point and shoot camera. It's a lot easier than I thought! One quick question. In the IS menu, "continuous + motion" and "shooting + motion" are greyed out. Earlier today they weren't, and I can't figure out which setting I changed to cause this. I'll probably keep it set to "shooting only" (to save battery life, eh?), but still wondering about the other two that are greyed, and if they are, in your opinion, useful options. Thanks! Steve
The Japanese are so nice, they included feet scale for the people of Liberia, Myanmar, and the US. The only countries in the world using imperial system.
Not entirely true as we in the UK use both imperial and metric. We measure distance in miles and feet still. Probably because it would be too expensive to switch all our road signs to metres! Not to mention the accidents that could happen when people travel too fast!
Hi Omar great videos, I have been watching them over the last week. now you mentioned that lightroom wasnt great with fuji images and yes they do go waxy but i cant remember what software you said to try was it Capture One I went from Canon to Fuji as doing press work the 1Dx x2 was just too heavy i'm using XT2 and XT3 always need 2 best cameras I have used. Anyway let me know about the editing software I'd like to try it.
is a 4 year old X-T20 worth repairing (possible motherboard replacement) if the cost is about one third the current price of a new ( if available as it is already discontinued) X-T20.
Hello, my new friend. It's a great video. Thank you for the information about the camera. I'm honored to be your best channel friend. Have a nice day. 👍👍👍🤙🤙🤙👌
I live in America for 10 years and I still don't like the measurement system 😂 I'm much more used to it now, but I'm totally ok using metric anytime it's available to me 😎👍
Hi Omar, i laughed like three times this time (i raley do watching youtube;-) ) one question: when i have preview wb/exp on it sometimes seems to only show the wb. when i take the picture its actually darker then in the preview. When i turn it to preview exp only then, the preview gets darker so i can change the exposure... am i doing something wrong here with preview wb/exp?
Funny how you trust people to know how a shutter button works. Even back in 2014 when I was on a trip to New York, I experienced a waiter who was trying to touch the screen on the back of my camera. My fujifilm S1600 didn't have a touch screen 😂
Omar, I am a bit disappointed about your comment that using feet is the way to go. It may work for US citizens but the rest of the world uses meters. And now a positive comment... I turned on one of your recommended settings that wasn’t on already. The large indicators in the EVF/OVF
The users that comment on your vids are so nice. It’s refreshing to see the positivity here
Can't say a negative thing about Omar. Solid lad. Great vids.
OMG the back button focus explanation to non photography person is so real!
I learned your manual focus/back button AF setup from a video way back and it's such a good tip!! I live in it too.
Something I should have posted like a 100 vids back.. came fore the fuji, stayed for Omar. You're great brother, never change.
I bought an X-Pro2 because of your showcase of the X-Pro3. Came in today and I love it. This is the second Fujifilm camera you have sold me :)
I've been looking at xpro2 and x100v going to make a decision this week myself
@@sdhute I personally like the interchangable lenses of the X-Pro's, but I honestly don't think you can make a bad decision
I REALLY appreciate how you explain everything in Lehman‘s terms, some of other videos are so technical and as a beginner photography I don’t understand what they’re saying so it just gets frustrating, so thank you! ❤
The manual focus idea is the BEST single tip I’ve ever heard..... 👍👍
The manual focus mode for back button focus is so helpful. Thank you!
*TURN IT ON FOR US* ... _Omar, we love it!_
Your vid is 3y old, but still relevant.
I got my xh1 a few days ago, and your tips were the first to set…
Thank you
OMG this was so helpful! Especially the back button setting!
Found another Omar video this evening (slow night) . Thanks for the pointers, my camera is set up almost identical , with another change to be made. Video, no not into that yet.
Omar you always have excellent topics ... and such a cool guy! Always nice to see your humor
Thanks Omar, you are a star and your advice is greatly appreciated.
Omar. You’re content is great. And you’re just enough goofy🙌🏼😊
I have an XE 2, bought it new, years ago, and consider it the best camera I have ever owned! Leica included...
Omar, you are the best and funniest youtuber I watch. I always get a laugh out of your videos, even when I‘m at work in the office(not good)😂 Thanks for your videos!

It still produces excellent images though 😀👍🏽.
Loves watching all of your videos.... I'm getting the X-T20....
Always informative and always entertaining
Thanks Omar, I have now changed my settings on my X-t1 (limited) and X-T2. I would read the manual, but when in history has a bloke read that!
Thanks for sharing. These are really useful settings.
You sir make photography fun...thanks
Didn’t know you can long press the back dial to change manual focus assist. That’s cool! Sometimes the peaking gets in the way but I never tried other options like prism, etc.
Unfortunately this does not work in the x-h2 or x-h2s which lack the capacity to press the back wheel as a button
Just upgraded to xh1 from xt20 mostly for video Mostly. gonna have to play with settings
I have the review always on because using manual lens, got to check the focus... especially on the more tele manual lenses.
Focus peaking is one of the reasons to buy a Fuji system. I love it, so accurate
USE THE BLUE FOCUS PEAKING, Omar..try it ;) yes is a bit annoying but very usefull...and when you half press the shutter it goes away ;)
Came for Fuji info , subbed for self deprecating humor, random silly phrases and weirdly bizarre voices peppered throughout. Same exact sense of humor as me 😂. ( i always wanted a brother man) LOL
Seriously, you da man Omar!! Peace ✌🏻
Thanks Omar! Great vid.
You are good man, you always bring a smile :)
That fuji Af jab hurts in the feels. 🤣🤣
Lol

The reason this channel is doing so well is because Omar has BDE,

Love the Fujifilm Nooooiiiiirrrr 📷😂🙌🏼
Thank you for this Omar! Excuse me while I go fix some settings on me camera...
I turn on and off the preview exposure. I usually play around this if im shooting in pitch black scenarios with a flash
Thanks for the video! Really nice :)
Greetings from Germany!
Imperial is better than metric - said no one ever 😂 Great video ☺️
I love your sense of humor😂
AF assists OFF, no question about it. The standard is the only that works! Agree completely.
Solid collection! For manual focus assist, try split-image and pentaprism (seldom found in other brands). Had “phomo” once - a shot of penicillin cleared it up nicely😁.
Are those focus assists available on older cameras? I don't remember seeing them on my xe3.

is there a click shutter sound somewhere? I thought i had set it on, but needed silent mode for a shoot and then lost it
This guy is so underrated
I’ve never heard anyone rate him lowly
Hey could you do a video on the black pro mist?
Can someone help me with my Xt2?

I checked the electronic shutter settings, and I only have it on mechanical shutter. The electronic shutter ON is the only other time I’ve seen the bars show up on a mirrorless camera screen.

That's due to led or florescent lighting. It's called banding. Mechanical shutter when weird artificial lights are on.
@@ogonzilla Thanks for clarifying!
I don't shoot fuji but I still watch your videos because they are entertaining. Edit: I feel your pain when handing your camera over with BBF on. I have a Custom mode for shutter half press focus now

There is already button for eye detect off/on on the top of the camera. No need to have the second one :) That one is better for zebra on/off.
Peaking - love the blue overlay…
High red peaking with a mono film simulation shows up very well in the EVF.

Hey you , turn it up to f 1.2 for some shallow depth of pictures.
Yes, Fuji is a dream of a camera, everything kinda works, but actually it does not. But it will, we hope, and that's why we have it now...
Why the metric system is the default setting??? Because only three countries in the world (officially) use the Imperial System. 😂 I love your videos!
Lol your jokes haha...I got X-Pro2 Graphite one today and love it so much(did unboxing video). I will use your tips to set my camera tomorrow ;) yehey

Hey im considering a fuji camera as an everyday carry, which would prefer between the x100f or the x-e3 with a pancake 27mm
I chose the X-E3 simply because you can change lenses. It really was that simple.
How do you keep the shutter release button ON? Mine fall off, constantly. Am I not having the magic touch? And: meters man!
