Chris, you're the best. I've been a photographer for over fifty years. I just got the XT5 and happily decided to use your guide for starter set-up. You make it clear and simple. And fun. Inspiring. Thank you!
If I were on the fence about a certain camera to buy starting out in photography, your videos alone would be enough to make me choose the Fuji X-T5. Thank you for all you do in making these videos!
Chris, my X-T5 was delivered Thursday. I had pre-watched your video when you first released it, and I re-pre watched it early this week as a warm up. Yesterday and today I slowed it down to .75 speed and went through it step by step for a final screening. Thanks for doing this, it took the pain out of the setup. Al
Love this channel, and this one was a massive help. I am all in on fuji but was missing this clear set up intro... brilliant. Thank you for creating this work.
I still remember the eagerness I had watching your XT3 Setup Guide just after receiving mine for Xmas. The chills, man. You've grown so much since then, Chris
Thanks Chris. I’m learning so much from your videos. Not just about Fuji, but about the world of digital photography in general. I’m an old film fogey returning to photography after an absence of about 30 years and your straight-talking, clear instruction is just so helpful. All the best (from Australia). Now, do I upgrade my x-t3 to a 5? Rhetorical question of course, but I await your full review with interest!
Thanks for this very timely video Chris. I picked up my camera two days ago and was hoping you would do a tutorial as a planned to set it up today. And, there you were. I appreciate all that you do for Fuji shooters.
I just rented this camera for a Disney World trip. It is on the short list of camera I want to buy. This video helped me get it up and running quickly. Thanks!
Hi Chris. I've been shooting with Olympus, then Nikon & returned to photography after a year. I bought the X-T5 today and this video was SO HELPFUL. Thank you!
absolutely amazing crash course... love it....thank you. i just bought XT5 today and voila i don't need to read the manual only thing is you were very fast ... so i have to go back and forth but very informative... thank you again
Just upgraded from XT2 to XT5 and this is a brilliant refrersher as it has been ages since i went through that setup. You forget where all the settings are and with the XT5 there is so much more. Very clearly explained. Thanks Chris.
Great intro. I am a professional photographer and HS Photo teacher going into my 4th Fuji X camera (XT1,XPro2,XE4 and now XT5) and still I learned a LOT. Thank you for doing this.
As a total newbie to the Fujifilm world and this amazing camera, I can't thank you enough for this 'initial setup' walk through. It's amazing how invaluable and helpful an experienced pro like yourself can be. I'm really looking forward to checking out your other videos. Very grateful for your experienced guidance.
I’m so sorry for the delay in seeing this… I get so behind lately in managing my YT account and am trying to get help. But seriously, thank you so much for doing this!! This means a lot to me and really helps out the channel!!! You ROCK!!! Thanks again for your kind donation, and all the best to you!!!
thank you so much for this video! I just bought this Camera and my first Videos with the standard settings didn‘t focus correct. Now it‘s solved and works very well. Greatings from Berlin, Germany👍
Great assistance in trying to keep the various combinations straight. As always you've provided clear instruction to help us get the most out of our Fuji cameras. My go to source for this - Thank you so much for the effort you put into this channel!
Thanks for the video, one of the best published on you tube, very clear and complete although fast. I gave myself this car for Christmas and I will play with it.
Chris, first thing I did when I received my X-T5 was open this video and use your guide for setup. Terrific channel, please keep creating valuable content like this!
👍 Florian!! Yeah, I broke my 'no working on weekends rule' LOL, but this camera is a BIG DEAL and a lot of people may be setting them up this weekend!!!
Fuji are releasing, or have released, so many new cameras, it's difficult to keep on top of it all. I ,recently, purchased a S10 and that will be my last body purchase for a number of years.
With my X-T5 on order, this video couldn't have come at a better time . Thanks for posting Chris and I'm looking forward to more from you on this fantastic camera as and when.
Oh My gosh Chris, with this video you solved at least the half of the problem I had switching from SONY to FUJI XT-5, concerning the set-up. standing ovation
Kudos for this entire Fujifilm vlog! You and Simon d'Entremont make the best presentation of info--so enjoyable to watch, and easy to learn. When my X-T5 arrived today, I could not resist tossing the info packet up and off to the side...
Looking foward to more videos on the X-T5. Coming soon. I feel like Fuji listened as to what I wanted in a camera. This one is perfect for me. You are my go to guy.
Hello there! I’d like to thank you for doing a step by step guide. I’m fairly new to Fuji and you made if very easy to follow. And yes, this is an entertaining video!!! Really appreciate you taking the time to make this. 🎉
Chris, I sold my XS-10 and got an XT5 in the mail yesterday. You were the first person I thought to look for guidelines to set up my new camera. Thanks so much!!
This was so helpful. I am testing out a Fujifilm X-T5 and you just saved me so much time in figuring out how to set it up to simply get started. Thank you!
Hi Chris. just a quick point about the sequencing of the changes you recommend. At 4.15 you suggest setting face/eye auto detect to on and then at 6.20 you suggest changing the photometry setting. However, once you've turned face/eye auto-detect on the photometry option gets yellowed out (as it is on your video at 6.32). I checked with the manual and that's what's supposed to happen. You may have done what I did and changed the photometry setting before turning on face-eye auto detect. However, the sequencing in your video might create a bit of confusion on this point. Otherwise I'm finding this very helpful - thank you!
Thank you very much for the information you provided. However, the fact that you explain it so quickly and the setting screens go by so quickly causes new users like me to constantly go back and watch it over and over again.
The Fujifilm app works better on the XT5. Keep playing with it because I watched your other video and was pleased that it is working on mine. That being said, had a minor connection delay a couple of times and found an order that helps. Launch the app, turn on Bluetooth on my XT5, restart Bluetooth on my iPad and that is the most reliable sequence. Could still be better, but improved over your testing experience.
Thank you sir for this wonderful tutorial. I've just jumped from the X-T1 to the X-T5 and have a lot to learn. Now to dig in on all things X-T5 and Capture One!
Thank-you. I'm new to mirrorless, Fuji and this channel. This video was perfect for me. I look forward to delving into all your other videos as my Fuji journey continues.
This is such a great video tool for a person that never had a camera of such potential. It is a bit frustrating to use and navigate through an endless list of options and settings but with this video, the initial setup it was much smoother. I had watched through a handful of your videos and after an evening playing around with it, I have finally started to like it and realized I made a good decision to pick up this camera! :)
New subscriber. I am not a beginner (novice I would say). Came from Canon to Sony and now to Fuji. The X-T5 is my new obsession. So looking to learn more how to take pictures in the Fuji system. This tutorial is a good start. Thanks!
Thanks Pal2Tech. I’ve got a TTArtisans lens on the way and needed to remind myself where to find shoot without lens in the menu to make sure I had it set right
Chris - Whoo Hoo I received my XT-5 today and even B4 unpacking I watched and saved your video. I will watch it multiple times. Thanks so much. Great video, like 95% of your settings and eagerly look forward to more. Now to go "touch n feel" that baby!!
Thank youuuu!!! without seeing this video i would not have used my fisheye lens from a 7Artisans 7.5m Fisheye to my T5 fujijil. Such a camera life saver!
Good tutorial, just bought an XT5, so useful. Does go at 90,mph, so a lot of pausing needed! The bit that threw me, was setting the photometry, I couldn't change this, Googled it, reason, earlier you'd suggested setting the face / eye auto detect to on, this disabled the photometry option... Fun, learning these tips and tricks, though 😊
Thanks for this! I’ve been in the Sony ecosystem since 2016 and just switched to Fuji with the X-T5 (delivered today) and I’m actually a little lost so this is really helpful for me. Thanks!
Hi Chris, I've just invested in this beautiful camera. I've been using Nikon for years but fancied seeing what this camera can do. Your tutorial has been so helpful so thank you so much. I'm currently in Thailand and there is so much to photograph.. I've been passionate about photography since I was a child and now I'm an old git at 60 but still very passionate. Thanks again. Brilliant tutorial. I have three Nikons and a Canon with me so if I can't work things out with this Fuji I have pretty good back up. I will work it out though thanks to you. I'm waffling now so so I will say goodbye but rest assured I'll watch some of your other videos.
One of the beautiful things about the XT bodies is that small function button in front next to the finger grip. My Nikon doesn't have one and I'm not sure about other brands. Instead of assigning this to playback which can be accessed from the back while you’re looking at the screen, I assigned the Back Button Focus function to this button. With your index finger on the shutter button, your middle finger will fall naturally on this button, making back focus so easy. The rear button that has this function assigned out of the box is hard to use with your thumb if you have large hands.
You Rock my friend! Thanks for being so nice and helping us out! You´re saving our asses! I´ve been using Nikons for the past 15 years... Fuji´s menus and configuration are rocket science to me. Well... it was, before your videos! Keep rocking!
This video, as always is worth its weight in gold. One of the many excellent pieces of advice, get a second battery. I would say get the proper fuji stand-alone charger too, that way you have zero battery issues for a full days shooting. Well done.
@@jacobbice8540 Agreed. Seems a little cheesy to sell a $1700 camera without a charger, but several manufacturers are doing this now. Just a way to add $60 to the real price.
I like that they kept the price relatively low (compared to other brands) by not including things that some people won’t want or need. It’s the same battery and charger as the X-T4 right? Like Apple with the charging block. Everyone has a few of those already.
I just watched your XT3 guide to reset my camera for an upcoming model railroad show. I do enjoy your content and concise informational guides. Keep up the great work.
Should be getting my X-T5 any minute now *keeps checking for the FedEx Truck* I will be watching this video as I open it up. I am excited because this is my first ever brand new camera, I have always gotten 2nd hand before, I am upgrading from the X-T2.
Thanks for the video! I'm a new subscriber too! It was very helpful! It has been several years since I bought my last camera and it has been that long since I've had to dive in a menu to tweak all these settings. BTW, F-stoppers simply used your video on their page on how to set up this camera. The only setting I would disagree on is to have IS always on. It's akin to turning on pre-AF. I have found always-on functions to be unnecessary. Please keep posting these tutorial type videos! They are very helpful.
Well done. You need a video on setting up geotagging and connecting to an iPhone. I guess you will have to take a deep breath and explain the Fuji app. Bob, Springfield, VA
I hate that app. But I use it because I want the geotagging. On the X-S10, it was unreliable and then suddenly became rock solid after a firmware update. Hoping the X-T5 has that fix!
Thank you for this excellent video! I'm new to Fuji and already love the XT-5. Your video has made it so much easier for me to get started. Thank you very much!
I had to send my xt5 away for repairs, and it came back completely reset. Of course, I completely forgot, after months. Thanks so much for your quick and helpful setup guide.
Another great video helping to sort things out. I have completed my XT-5 setup except that there seems to be something blocking my assignment of functions to the D-pad. These buttons are "blued-out" -- blocked with a blue color. Anyone else encounter this?
I'll answer my own question: You must first change the setting Button dial settings --> Selector button settings --> from the default "focus area" to "fn" Then the D-pad setting s become available for assigning functions. This seems to be an unnecessary extra layer of settings, but now I know
Eric! So sorry I didn't see this earlier. You are totally correct: setting to FN is the way to go here. Great job in getting that figured out. Thank you so much for supporting the channel!! I really appreciate it!! Cheers! 🙏 👍
Just went through my camera settings as I watched. I already use a lot of what you suggested but also found some settings I could change for the better, so thank you!
I've reviewed this video now, few days I got my x-t5 and after I already set it up according to my needs (I already was an x-t3 owner). I agree with you on some settings, and disagree on other ones, but it has been helpful in any case to let me (re)think to the various setup possibilities 👍🏻
I've got my XT5 in hand while watching this. The information you provide is priceless! Thank you.
Chris, you're the best. I've been a photographer for over fifty years. I just got the XT5 and happily decided to use your guide for starter set-up. You make it clear and simple. And fun. Inspiring. Thank you!

I would switch between Chris and Omar's video to set up my first fuji hahaha so nostalgic

Another great video helping to sort things out. I have completed my XT-5 setup except that there seems to be something blocking my assignment of functions to the D-pad. These buttons are "blued-out" -- blocked with a blue color. Anyone else encounter this?
I'll answer my own question: You must first change the setting Button dial settings --> Selector button settings --> from the default "focus area" to "fn" Then the D-pad setting s become available for assigning functions. This seems to be an unnecessary extra layer of settings, but now I know
Eric! So sorry I didn't see this earlier. You are totally correct: setting to FN is the way to go here. Great job in getting that figured out. Thank you so much for supporting the channel!! I really appreciate it!! Cheers! 🙏 👍
Just received my camera, and this was exactly what I needed. Thanks so much for posting!
Just finished setting up the xt5. Thank you Very helpful tips.
Just went through my camera settings as I watched. I already use a lot of what you suggested but also found some settings I could change for the better, so thank you!
I've reviewed this video now, few days I got my x-t5 and after I already set it up according to my needs (I already was an x-t3 owner). I agree with you on some settings, and disagree on other ones, but it has been helpful in any case to let me (re)think to the various setup possibilities 👍🏻
I went back in and just reviewed this. Thank you.
