I have watched a few videos - none of them has explained the functions & relationship between Shutter button and AEL, AFL buttons well enough as you have done! thanks a lot for bringing us this video!!
Missing a dedicated AF-On button on the near perfect X-T2 was the only con. But, I assigned the rear command dial (push) for that function. I use it with AF-C mode. Missing a dedicated Focus Mode selector on X-H2 was also a major drawback. You are explaining the issue so clearly.
cracking easy to follow video. i use back button focus when i am photographing birds on a feeder. i can lock focus on the feeder and then just wait for the bird to appear and press the shutter.
Well articulated, and clearly explained JC. Was able to follow along and apply these settings to one of my custom dials on the XH2 and will give it a shot.
Thank you for the explanation. I know that I might be able to remove the AEL function from the shutter but I don't want to do that every time I want to use the AEL button. Can we use the AEL button without keeping it pressed and without removing the AEL function from the shutter? In my mind, this is a matter of a system priority e.g. every time you press the AEL button the exposure stays locked, bypassing the shutter AEL, until you take a picture. Is this possible?
@@jimmycphoto I want to have both functions (back button & shutter AEL) activated. If I press the back button before taking a photo, the shutter AEL should be deactivated. I managed to do that by setting the back button to act as a switch, but the only problem is that I have to press it again after taking the photo to deactivate it. It would be nice if it automatically deactivated after taking the photo.
@@jimmycphoto In fuji film xt4 the focus appears to be locked after clicking the photo. Focus circle not right, left, up, down. Camera turn off after 1 click photo, again focus lock. Focus circle green and AFL icon show. Also did a reset. But not solve problum . please help me
Thank you for the very helpful video! My AE-L button only works when I have my SS dial set to "A" and aperture dial set to "A" and on auto ISO. I have an X-T30. Any idea why this is?
is it programmed to something at the moment? ael happens on the shutter button as well, or if it's assigned to a different function button. if you are not married to how your camera currently is, or if you bought it used, it's good to reset everything and the buttons and start from scratch, default settings.

thanks for stopping by. Do you want to try focusing like this? Do you use your function buttons differently?
Clearest explanation of this I have ever seen ! Thank you !!

Thanks Jimmy. By far the best explanation of these functions I've seen yet !

Missing a dedicated Focus Mode selector on X-H2 was also a major drawback. You are explaining the issue so clearly.

Thanks for sharing very helpful. You always have to keep pressing the back focus button and shutter to take the picture right?
@juancarlosguzman2827 yes if set up that way, that is. ive since switched it back to regular set up to see what i like. haha
Thanks for sharing this
Thank you so much!!!!!

@@Pacman1ac hmm! i think this question may be over my head. im not sure it works without pressing a button, unless im not understanding your question.
