Guys this is a long video! BUT it is packed with information - literally everything I have learned in the last 3 months shooting with the XT3! I've taken it to over 6 countries and shot in so many different conditions from sub-zero mountain peaks in Switzerland to diving the tropical coral reefs of Indonesia. But here are some placeholders to help you navigate the video:
1:15 - Sample Footage
2:10 - Top Dial Settings
5:39 - Screen Setup
8:21 - Custom Function Buttons
10:42 - Auto White Balance Hack
11:52 - My Menu
13:26 - Video Autofocus Settings
14:49 - Focus Peaking and Zebras
15:51 - Audio Settings
16:46 - Picture Styles / Film Simulations
17:38 - Q Menu (Tweaking your film simulations)
Thanks for watching guys!
Mitch Lally nice video. We just acquired the XT3 and would appreciate a HLG grading video. Keep up the good work
Great video man. Been following since Fuji sparked my interest with the xt2 and I watched all your Fuji content to get used to that camera. I’ve now been loving my xt3 for a few months and shooting video with it with much success. Best thing I got out of this video was your auto white balance lock. Never thought to try that but I’ll be using this all the time now! Now I have a tip to share back, I’ve been using my xt3 with the Atomos Ninja V for a few months now and I can honestly say there’s no going back. I know you had a Red camera so you’ll be able to appreciate the extra quality you can get when paired with that setup. Great video, keep the uploads coming!
its gold! really helpful mate loving it! Thanks!
Bro how did you open that video menu 11:48
That was very helpful Mitch! Thanks heaps!
It is funny how many other people have videos explaining how to set up your fuji camera for video and their videos look like crap. This video looks really nice and this is the tutorial that I will use to setup my xt3. Great job Mitch!
Thanks my man!!
Wonderful video! I learned more about setting up the X-T3 for video in 19 minutes than I have in a whole year of mucking about!
Following you for a while and This video really made my life easy. I did have few off my own setup. But just to give your setup a try now I cant go back to my previous setup.. This really changed everything for good. Thank you.
We Love Food Thanks so much it really means a lot :)
Mitch Lally i am mostly using for food video and my biggest struggle now is lens selection. Still using the 18-55 at f4 most of the time. And 80mm macro for closeup.
But in the kitchen it’s a struggle to setup all those cheap bulky umbrella lighting I usually use.
I was thinking to get the 1.4 16mm what do you suggest?
Please make a video on fuji lens and the best use of each type of lens.
I love detailed video specially when people give some links in the comments to ease navigation.
...
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Video is not long at all, I enjoyed watching it.
dude, watching your channel gave me the push to get the xh1 and xt3. No regrets!! In love with the system!
Many thanks I'm just starting to use my XT3 for video. Loved the way you present.
Glad you liked the video! Cheers
Fantastic video! Recently I switched to Fuji X-T3 and I would say this was quite helpful.
Kiril Totev thanks for watching!
Im an XT3 user and this is very informative video. Thanks Mitch!
Excellent breakdown of how to use the X-T3 for video. I've learned a few neat tricks here !
As an info trade, the natural live view thing is more aimed at studio photographers who use flashlights. Indeed, when you're shooting like that, most of the time, you expose depending on the power of the flashes, which means that in a dark environment like a studio, you're severely underexposed if you wanna watch through the evf in its normal state. Hence the natural live view option, which makes it as if you were looking at the scene naturally, with your eye, rather than a electric view that is directly influenced by your exposure settings (so you don't end up with a black screen when trying to compose your image)
jjstarrprod thanks!
that AWB lock feature is pure gold
Kristian Aviles glad it helped
Why not just custom set the WB with a grey card?, they are literally $10!.
Stephen Gatley don’t always have time to pull one out!
@@kristian.mingle If you have time to leave the house you have time to set the WB to your conditions it takes 30sec max lol!
@@stephengatley8144 i shoot a lot of weddings and my xt3 lives on a gimbal so i don't always have time to set it beforehand
Man, thank you so much for this! Your videos are definitely the most descriptive / informative. Appreciate you brother!
Jerick Magbanua no worries man! Glad you enjoyed.
Abosultely one of the best videos on this topic and packed with great info. I would also love to see a video on grading HLG, as at the moment I have been shooting in F-LOG and then using the F-LOG to Eterna LUT as a start point.
Hey! I just uploaded a new video on colour grading! Make sure you go check it out.
The natural display setting, is for when shoot stills with flash. The screen would be black until a flash fires and so mega handy setting to see the scene as your eye does. Great video thanks helped!
Thanks for the tip! Glad you enjoyed the video
I just got my first fuij x-t3 and man, this is awesome. I love ur content and this video was really helpful! Thanks man
Glad it helped!
Outstanding ! Such a breath of fresh air ! I've got a book for a previous Fuji camera and it will do your head in with such convoluted explanations, I would throw it across the room. Remember me to buy you a pint . Cheers !
Settings those command dials!!! Excellent! I'm also able to do that with my X100F. Thanks for sharing!
Thank Dude, I just picked up my first camera (X-T3) and this was very helpful.
Best video so far on XT3
Great video bro, just the info I was looking for since I bought my XT3. 👏👍 Very clear and easy to follow along.
Thank you for sharing this 😊
Nicely explained
Oh boy, i learned a few thing here!!!!........ More more video centric stuff!
Glad you enjoyed!
Excellent video!
thank you, make a video to how you colour grade.
Hey! I just uploaded a new video on colour grading! Make sure you go check it out.
Excellent review Mitch. Our X-T3 arrives here in Hobart tomorrow. Thanks for sharing so much of your knowledge. Much appreciated
I just got my x-t3 and Your vid is very helpfull! Thanx! I need to watch it couple times more. 👍sub🔔
Modris Klingenbergs thanks so much!!
Great video, thankyou. I am currently considering the Fuji xt3,,, it’s in my budget range, for a film camera. Very useful!
Good video, lots of useful tips, info and possible options to consider, cheers!
Really good settings rundown. Thanks.
Really really great video man! Thank you so much for the information.
Would love to see how you grade footage with the HLG profile.
Heyhey!! Really helpful. I just recently switched from old Canon to Fuji. I´ve been kind of lost with it but this really helped to set up some of those basic settings! Thanks!!
First of all: thanks for sharing this great and very informative video. I'm new with X-T3. So it helped me a lot. Love to see your color grading with HLG files
I LOVED that grade at the beginning showreel!
And I like how you use your phone as a second camera, it's well-done in terms of quality and watchability!
7:05 Drove me absolutely INSANE when I first got this camera. I thought it was defective or that I was losing my mind.
:') dude I understand! I had a friend with the setting on when he got his and I couldn't figure it out either! I didn't remember that being switched on when I bought my T3!?
so many things are making me nuts with this camera... I couln't record more than 9 seconds at a time... so I got a fast card... but now I can't record 4k... :(
@@Shaanmojo bro, i just got the XT3 and facing the same problem! What card do you use to record 4K 60p 200mbps?
Awesome video, thanks Mitch, I have had so many issues with video on this camera but I’m now sorted, cheers mate
Hi Mitch, thank you for this informative video, you helped me solve a couple of issues I had been wondering about on my XT3 that I hadn't seen mentioned in other tutorials, very helpful. The ISO lock and live view points particularly useful for me. Also not talked about much is the HLG setting, I do events and want something that is usable straight out of camera for speed and this setting and eterna are what I mostly use so glad you pointed that out as well. Keep up the good work, please consider doing a tutorial on your favourite Fuji lenses for video.
K Kam cheers! :)
Thanks for the helpful tips! I missed the EVF auto setting and I was always wondering why it kept changing on me haha
Q Time 👌👌☺️
Hi Mitch, presumably you've figured out what Live View is by now, but just for anyone reading this, Live View is a flat representation of the image with no Film simulation applied, this way you can get a better idea of where the histogram actually lies within the raw file, because when a film sim is applied the histogram will reflect the film simulation. It's quite useful to set it as a shortcut and toggle it on sometimes just to see if your highlights or shadows are still being captured whilst also being able to see your film sim in real time.
Very informative, thanks from western Canada 🇨🇦. One thing I tried and didn't like is turning the EVF-LCD brightness up, gave me a false impression on what I was shooting. I leave mine at 0 manual, but I do shoot mainly stills and some video.
David Rossiter thanks for sharing your experience!
Very good Demo! Gratulation!
F*ckin lifeeee saver dude, really dreaded using that owners manual but this got me to the most useful tips right away and im really appreciative for that!
really helpful - thank you!
Glad you enjoyed mate!
Great video! Good stuff to consider even for seasoned users
I think it’s important you use Intra-Frame for movie compression instead of Long-GOP setting if you’re doing color grading in post. It gets less color banding and will also run smoother on your editing software. There is an important difference.
Isaac Williams nope, not when the target bitrate is the same.
@@MitchLally All Intra is way better, dude. I shoot pretty much exclusively with it at 400mb/s. It's technically "compressed" but having every frame as an I frame is much better for color grade flexibility. You're computer doesn't have decode all that info itself. I can't seem to remember, but isn't Long GOP only 8 bit whereas All I is 10 bit?
Caleb Hoenshell nope. Have you tested that theory? Because in the tests I’ve done theres no difference in the files for color grade ability - I actually struggle to understand what that means anyway? You mean less banding or macro blocking?
@@MitchLally Film major here, I recommend All-I for anything that has a lot of movement and just general Cinematic Video or anything video related that's not talking heads. Long-Gop is great for anything that's just talking heads because you wont be needing to be using all of that information. All-I takes up a lot more space but honestly is worth it and makes your computer work not nearly as hard when it comes to trying to decode the compression codec. Also H.265 is a lot smoother than h.264 anyway and with the amount of bit depth you're getting it's crazy.
Very helpful thank you
Perfect! Thank you so much
Awesome vid bro
Just switched from Sony to Fuji and this video definitely helps alot.
Awesome video! An HLG color-grading tutorial would be great. Thanks!
Hey! I just uploaded a new video on colour grading! Make sure you go check it out.
Thanks, Very good video,
Thank you so much, it was very helpful!
Thanks Mitch
Great video! Thank you!
love this!! Very helpful :)
Very neat and informative video, thank you. Background music a bit annoying when listening with headset because of those banging sticks in the rhythm.
Man this was useful. Not sure if you're still shooting Fuji but there's one slightly helpful thing I can point out. You have Fn1 set to wifi. I do too but only when the camera is in playback mode. This allows me to set fn1 as something else for when I'm shooting.
The most informative video of the year! Thx!
KingCanon damn, thank you!!
Fuji is such a beaty, the film simulations, the handling with all the "vintage dials" and stuff bul still having all the cool new features like eye autofocus and stuff . It's light, it's a video monster. The only thing i thinking about switching are the lack of lenses from thrird party
$500 speedbooster or $300 fringer adapter and you’ve got any mount you want.
Best video on setting.. can u plz make a video on fujifilm xt3 camera setting specially for youtube makeup videos.. to pop up the colours properly..
Great one, thx
yes we wanna see grading the hlg fuji footage
Hey! I just uploaded a new video on colour grading! Make sure you go check it out.
Huge help!!! Thanks!!!
Thanks Franklin!
Thank you.
thanks a lot,, very succinct and accessibly layed out for video !!! I plan on using 2 xt3s , one on tripod and one on redrock micro shoulder mount hopefully coming out with a nice segue from still to movement whenever I want
Thank you.. Very helpfull
useful! thank you
While I know you're off of using Fujifilm cameras the dials are much faster to use then pulling your phone down and traversing the single-line, very linear, directory trees of the phone-ish UI. Because all the information from the knobs are in the EVF.
Once you’re familiar enough with the knobs and have re-assigned what you need to whatever button, the changes you can make on the fly happen within the amount of time that you squander pulling the camera away from your face to look the screen...so you’re done adjusting waaaaayyyyy before you would start fingering through any menu trees.
Well done ... nice job! Thank u🙂
Thank you
Great, advice!
Amazing 🎉
Thanks a lot 👍
Brus this has a Nicky Table vibe 👌🏽
Just joined the Fuji Team! Thank you so much for the video! You're the only with the proper knowledge i was looking for! I shoot a loot with the black magic pocket 4k and now this. I was wondering your work flow for going from h.265 to pro res? I edit a lot in both premiere and Resolve.. so I'm in the process of working through different methods for the transcoding efficiently but properly.
RJ Roser resolve works great for transcoding - also adobe media encoder works great too!
Great, very helpful, thanks. ML Grades XT3 HLG - yes, please!
Chris will do!
Hey! I just uploaded a new video on colour grading! Make sure you go check it out.
New to XT3. What metering mode do you use and focus area when shooting video? Also could you make a video on how to expose f log and hlg?Thanks! !
I set it to average but I actually don’t know how the xt3 meters in video - it could be irrelevant. Focus area - I use the single point always.
Yes please to HLG tutorial! Can you cover how you expose correctly too maybe? Great videos 😁
Jonathan Whitley fantastic idea - exposure is very important!
Agreed!
Hey! I just uploaded a new video on colour grading! Make sure you go check it out.
Mitch Lally that’s great - thanks so much for letting me know!
The most important settings I was waiting to learn about was which movie setting to use! and where is the option for HLG anyway? I have no idea what setting to choose under Movie mode.
Hey Mitch! Thanks for the video. Wondering why do you prefer not to turn off the internal mic level?
Amazing tutorial! I would definitely like to see the HLG tutorial video, how do you work with the BT2020 files in 709 project - do you override the colorspace to 709 or do you use any translation lut (is there even any for Fuji?) And for the camera settings, Im going to have my XT3 in two days - how do you protect or see clipping of the highlights - by zebras (what settings?) or is there any highlight protection function? thank you!
LucasBeatz I already made a grading video that covers those topics :) - I do it by eye - experience with the camera will allow you to know where the limitations are.
I'd love to see a video on how you grade Fuji HLG.
Coming soon :)
Hey! I just uploaded a new video on colour grading! Make sure you go check it out.
Very good video. Thanks. Can you help me? My Symbol is not visible. I am not sure why.
Hey Mitch, what card are you using for the XT3? Are you always shooting 4K HLG? If not, what is the frame rate and resolution you shoot most of the time?
Hi, on my X-T3, I set the AE-L button to AWB Lock but when I press on it, the little blue square AE-L doesn't show up like in your video...Any idea? Thanks
HLG grading video would be great thanks Mitch!
Thanks for watching, working on it now!

No focus peaking? You're living on the edge man!
Steve-O lived without focus peaking for the last 7 years. Punch to focus is my favourite - plus you can do it while recording :)
Hi Thanks for the video full of information. Can you recommend a ND filter for the 35mm F1.4 lenses vor video shooting. Thanks
I am looking to upgrade from my Nikon D3300 to a more advanced camera with better video capabilities. I am looking to do interviews, mini-docs and short films. Should I go with the XT3 or the XT30?
Hey Mate! Just got myself a Fuji X-T3 and its A M A Z I N G. Thanks so much for this video as it helps a lot. If you dont mind, could you please help me solve a problem with the video settings?: Everytime i take some photos or videos with the camera, it saves as 38 GB and im not sure if its supposed to take up that much storage or not. Cheers!
Hey man, love the vids. Quick question: What is the quickest way to switch from photo to video and reverse? Will cover a event shooting both and it's a bit of a challenge with the XT3. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Mitch do you have a video showing your video rig -- what you recommend for travel especially?
I have the fuji xt3. What settings are your camera now? Shooting THIS video for the tutorial? Mine focus is moving all the time.
Just got one of these cameras ... So many things to take on board ... I just wanna make movies buts it's all bloody confusing
I'm holding on strong to my X-H1. Hoping they give us some much needed firmware updates that makes it worth keeping instead of jumping to the T3.
I think its a great idea to hang onto the XH1 - it's a very capable camera and the 4K is still more detailed than the other brands plus you have a great codec in there. I wouldn't hold out for 4K 60p though because you might be disappointed. I have a feeling Fuji needed to upgrade its processor in the XT3 to accommodate for this.
Whatup Mitch.. Quick question, can you elaborate a little bit on what you have your Dynamic Range on ? Also, I'm looking for a quick way to switch between shooting at 4K 24P + then slowmo at 60fps... First time on a Fuji camera, I have no clue a quick way to do that..
The Topshelf Company dr is on 100 - higher dr means using split iso and exposure blending I’m pretty sure - like a hdr type of thing. Not into that really it adds some grain and loss of detail. Not really a quick way that I can see apart from setting it to the top level on your my menu.

How are you finding the lack of IBIS? Do you have you XT3 on a gimbal constantly? Loved the video!
Drew Buckler all of the footage in the video was shot handheld with a shoulder rig and smoothed over with warp stabilizer set to 1%. I use a gimbal sometimes but I am really loving the look of handheld recently. I think one of the biggest misconceptions about making footage look ‘cinematic’ is that it has to be perfectly smooth and has to be on a gimbal.
Hi Mitch, i have problem with exposure stepping up and down instead of smooth light to dark transition in run and gun style vdo? Anyway to fix that? Thanks
Kuro Wanna nope. The only way is to buy a lens with step-less aperture control. The mitakon 35mm 0.95 is a good example. Or any of the samyang ncs cs cine primes
Thanks for this video!
But I just came across another problem. So when I choose the F-Log setting, my Iso goes yellow and I cant go under 640. Why does this locks the iso at 640 and how do I unlock it? thanks
