Regarding your exposure issue, you can change the Natural Live View setting to do things like remove the influence of the film simulations. There's also 'Preview Exp in manual mode' settings. Both are in the Screen Settings area of the menu. I did read somewhere that the X-T5 has worse rolling shutter than the X-T4, as the higher resolution takes longer to scan. But I shoot almost entirely in electronic shutter with my X-T5 and only notice an issue on very fast moving things (vans speeding right in front of me etc). But you get no rolling shutter if you use mechanical shutter. My only problems with my X-T5 have been that the shutter release button and focus mode (S/C/M) switch got a bit stiff, but some silicone lubricant fixed that (I use silicone because it doesn't attack rubber or plastic). It's a fantastic camera. I love using full Auto ISO groups (you can switch between three of them) for almost everything other than low/poor light. I love how it's possible to set a button to toggle between group 1 and your current group in the quick menu. I set my group 1 to have a bunch of settings I might need quickly, as I can access it rapidly with that toggle. (One such thing is full mechanical shutter, to rapidly get me off my usual electronic shutter when needed. And another is full focus tracking.)
You were right Mike. I changed the Natural Live View setting and the preview now matches the final photo. Thanks so much! I will pin your comment in case someone else faces the same issue. I find that the rolling shutter gets worst with longer focal lengths. With the 16mm F/2.8 I was getting almost no rolling shutter. But it is not horrible. I think the a6400 had more rolling shutter effect than the XT-5. I never noticed that the switch got stiffer to be honest but I might try the silicone lubricant anyway. Thanks for all the suggestions. I will keep them in mind for the video in which I will be talking about how I set up the Fuji XT-5.
@@AristeidisSfakianos Nice! I vaguely remember using those settings also to make the back screen expose nicely in combination with certain flash settings (manual flash only, I think, for when the camera exposes low but will be 'topped up' by a bit of flash - so I just want to so a normal natural exposure on the back screen not a dark one. I think shooting flash on TTL would prevent that need). I have seen a very small number of people say rolling shutter is made worse by slow shutter speed and/or long focal length. But only rarely enough that I suspect they are wrong. It's my impression that a camera scans the image from top to bottom at a fixed speed when running electronic shutter. That's why the internet has lists of what the scan time is for each camera model. So I think the only thing that matters (for rolling shutter) should be how quickly the subject is moving from one part of your screen/frame to another part. If it's a car going at 100mph it will be very distorted if driving close across in front of you, but not distorted if a long way away. The exception would be if you are shooting into the distance and aren't keeping the camera steady. Then yes I guess the entire image could be distorted and bent by rolling shutter. Definitely check that your X-T5's IBIS is switched on (maybe you switched it off if you were using a tripod, as many do?). I did read that, for video, you should adjust your shutter speed to twice your frame rate. But I could be wrong. In any case, rolling shutter and barring should both vanish if you switch your camera to mechanical shutter.
@@mikefoster6018 I don't usually shoot with flash as I am mostly shooting natural light but it does make a lot of sense. I am not sure how the MS/ES issue would affect rolling shutter for video. I think the rolling shutter is predominantly video. It hasn't been an issue for me when it comes to photos. Other than that I agree with everything you say about the rolling shutter issue. Cheers Mike!
@@AristeidisSfakianos Cheers :) Keep up the cool videos. I'm happy today, as I just discovered that the very strong looking Viltrox 27mm f1.2 is a bit worse than my nice Fuji 33mm f1.4 at Continuous autofocus (because it has a stepping motor not a linear motor), meaning that I'm still using the 'best' lens for what I do :D
@@mikefoster6018Indeed Mike. The 33 F/1.4 is one of the best lenses for Fuji cameras to this date. However, I am curious to explore those Viltrox lenses and see how they perform!
The removal of the flip screen is a gutsy move in this day and age by Fuji. Respect !!! One should look at their hybrid cameras like the XH series if you want the flip screen.
Sure thing Kunal. And I think this is what I am going to do eventually. Keep XT-5 as my main photography driver and get an XH as my main video driver. Cheers!
I'm a fully articulated screen guy bu the variable angle tilt screen is AMAZING for photography and I cannot stress enough how much I enjoy using it. I think with a 16mm or shorter lens you could use the X-T5 for landscape specially to take advantage of the 40MP sensor. It even has the HDR mode for you to take advantage of with a tripod.
Indeed, I understand many prefer the tilting screen over the fully articulating screen, and this is fair enough. I've got the 16mm, and it is doing a good job. I will be talking about this lens in a future video!Thanks for the comment!🙏
Regarding file sizes: You should really switch to LOSSLESS COMPRESSSED for the RAW files. There is no downside - the lossless compression means that the pictures are identical and then the file sizes go down to 35-50 MB depending on the scene. That is the same file size as the lower resolution Sony files you mention (A7 III-files), even though they have many more pixels. It's a mystery that this is a feature missing from many Sony cameras, and it should be the standard setting on Fujifilm too. :)
I am familiar with the lossless compressed file format Bjorn but I was reluctant from using it since, in my mind, it is still a compressed file format. If you are mentioning it maybe it is worth a try then. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@AristeidisSfakianos there are algorithms to compress data without losing any quality. If you think about it you can compress a text file, but if that lost any part of the file the text would be messed up. Applying this sort of algorithm to photos gives you less compression but full quality
@@AristeidisSfakianos you don't lose any quality by using lossless compression, the only downside is that this will demand a little more of your computer in the editing process, but I found that the diference is not big and that totally worth it.
Mmm - not sure your comment about the "majority of people using the camera" would prefer a fully articulating screen as you suggest. In fact it is quite the opposite!!! Stills photographers (who make up the majority of users of the XT5) were crying out for a flip screen. If you, and others who are more hybrid shooters, should go for the XH2.....this is the hybrid equivalent. The XT5 is aimed at stills photographers in the main
I understand your argument. I am just thing that a fully articulating screen has more functionality than a tilting screen and with this Fuji could cover everyone with the XT-5. I am not sure why you replace a feature with more functionality with one with less. Regardless, this is my plan. To use XT-5 as my main photography driver and get an XH1 or 2 for all my video work. It is just that XT-5 has such great video features that it is hard for me to believe that Fuji didn't mean it to be used for video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts Nigel! Your comments are always appreciated!
Yes, you are right....the XT5 does have decent video specs, but this is because it can!! Some stills shooters will want some video occasionally so they are provided. The issue about "replacing something with less funcitonality" (the screen) is not, in my and many other stills shooters view, seen as a retrograde step....quite the opposite. Stills shooters were dismayed to see the attempt at making the XT4 a hybrid and introducing that articulating screen and were shouting from the rooftops for the new XT5 to revert back to a more still friendly flip screen,,,,,and Fuji listened - XH2 for hybrid shooters....XT5 for stills shooters. Great move on their part. I always watch your videos and like them a lot....just wanted to give a viewpoint from a stills shooter!!
@@NJM1948 Of course! I hear your opinion and thank you very much for sharing it with me. It is good to be educated with everyone's point of view and see what works better for different people. Makes my videos more well-rounded moving on. Cheers!
Count me in to the vote for a flip screen. I had every XT model from X-T1 to X-T3. I skipped the X-T4 just because of that articulating screen and I now have two X-T5's to make up for it. I am so happy Fuji returned to the flip screen with the X-T5. All Fuji need to do for the X-T6 is fix their AF tracking hit rate. If they could do this they would have the most perfect APSC camera on the market in my opinion.
Its slogan says Photography first. Fuji has listened to its user regarding its screen on XT4. In fact, most XT user despised the articulating screen on XT4. See the XT5 ads and you'd see how Fuji really boast this tilting screen. For stills, this is the best for composition. As for video segment, you might want to try XS20, XT4 or if you can stretch your budget, XH2 or XH2s. See this commercial. Means to be funny but really underlines the point ua-cam.com/video/4wpkoG0SZsk/v-deo.htmlsi=4Yh2gY2n83g1_B62
Credible review, Aris. (You look like a tough dude in that black leather jacket😊). I tried Fuji but was disappointed in the AF hit rates - did not make up for other good features. Even when using single point AF with maximum number of points, the focus was not set exactly on the dot the “box” center, but a tad offset - not good for critical focus images. Exposure preview issue is not unique to Fuji. Above comment gives one approach. LCD preview is the JPG image, not true RAW. Increasing screen brightness can also mislead regarding exposure. It’s a good practice not to rely on LCD alone - pay more attention to the meter. If you do prefer the “eyeball” method, try calibrating the camera using a grey card. In controlled conditions shoot a grey card (nail the right exposure) and adjust exposure compensation for screen brightness factor in all of your images. For instance, you might find that the LCD “eyeball” is consistently +.5 EV more than correct. Minor nit pick: At 5:05 in vid “choise” should be “choice”. 😊 Cheers!
Right?? Love this jacket and I am very glad you picked up Paul! 😀🙏 Yeah. It doesn't excel in auto focus. This is true and whether you choose it or not depends on what you need it for. This is a good point. I have set up my screen to be quite bright. I should probably bring it down a bit. However, it is weird but I never really had this problem with the XT-3 and one would expect that the XT-5 would have all those things sorted from the beginning. You are right. I should probably use the grey card method to calibrate the camera. I might even make a Short about that given the opportunity. My apologies for the little mistake Paul. Thanks a lot for pointing it out. I will be more careful moving forward. Always appreciate your comments!
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this before, but the image preview on your LCD screen and visor is always based on your JPEG settings-- this is why you're getting different contrast and exposure on the raw file compared to what you see in-camera. You can use tools like the histogram or the exposure indicator to help adjust your exposure while shooting rather than only relying on the displayed image. I don't shoot on Fuji, but my Lumix camera also has a setting to display the expected exposure in the live preview before I hit the shutter release. This could also be a useful setting to switch on if Fuji offers an equivalent! It can save you from a few wasted shots trying to get your exposure right in manual mode, for example. (On Lumix cameras, this setting is called "'Constant preview").
Thanks for the insight!Indeed after I posted this video I learned a lot from people. Apparently Fuji XT-5 has a setting that removes that effect from the photos. But it is interesting as the XT-3 didn't have this feature. Regardless, I am quite familiar with histogram and other exposure methods but I do love seing my photo unraveling in my screen as it is. It helps me get the photo better in camera. Thanks for your comment!
10:26 about the exposure issue, set your camera to display the histogram and make sure you're getting at least 80% coverage, that also gives you a visual cue that is independent from your screen brightness and light conditions
9:59 There is a setting option called "Natural Live View" which shows you the raw live view. When you check the picture the film simulation is applied to it. A few days ago I saw a video about hidden settings of Fuji cameras and in this video was the "natural live view" one of the hidden settings.
Cheers Johnny! As I am exploring the camera more I find that it has a lot of little things like that that someone needs to keep in mind. I will probably make my own version of this video not too far in the future!
Hi. Thank you for your insights on the XT5. I have the XT4. The Live View Feature will show you what you're capturing on the LCD without the film simulation. I have this function programmed on the top button by the lens so I can easily toggle it on or off as needed. Hope this helps.
Nice objective review. The higher noise of the XT5 compared with the XT3 is a big disadvantage. I think that I will stick with my XT3, which meets my needs as a still’s photographer, at this time.
XT3 is a fantastic camera. XT5 is doing alright so far for me. Don't get me wrong, but I do find myself missing the simplicity of the XT-3 sometimes. Who knows? I might end up getting it again in the future, although I am now ready to welcome another Fuji camera in my arsenal!
Thank you for the informative review! I recently picked up the xt5 after first owning the xt3. The size, sensor and ibis are just great for my photography! However for some reason I haven't found the real click yet the same way a I had with the xt3. Maybe it's the slightly worse build quality, maybe it will come later. However I will keep my eyes open for new x pro and x100 releases next year. Happy holidays!🎅
How is it going with it? Did you manage to get a good click? I think I have started getting used to it now and getting some shots I enjoy!I will be keeping an eye for the new x100 as well. You might see in the channel when it comes out.
@@AristeidisSfakianos I am also starting to feel better about it now, such a versatile camera and I dont notice the difference in build quality anymore too much. I am looking forward to your coverage of the new x100 series, let's hope for a new Xpro model as well, because I do prefer an interchangeable lens camera. Love your recent nighttime photography work, keep it up!
@@AristeidisSfakianos the new x100 has been announced! I immediately got the feeling I wanted it because it looks so good haha! But in the end I think I will go for the xf27 2.8 as my compact option together with my x-t5. I don't really see a reason pay €1800,00 for this camera when I already own a x-t5! I can always look at it again in the future, but I look forward to see what you are going to do!
Hi, now that you have been shooting with the X-T5 for a long time. 1. Do you think it would have been better to switch to a Sony A7 IV, especially since it is also good for photo/video? 2. Do you feel there are disadvantages in terms of ISO and noise in night photography with the X-T5 where a full frame camera would be better?
Well, Sony A7IV outperforms the XT-5 in every way possible. But to jump into such a system for street photography it would be an overkill in my opinion. For video it would be worthwhile but again for the things I do the XT-5 performs fine and my kit doesn't break the bank. So for me it wouldn't make sense to switch back to Sony. But this depends on ones needs. What are you shooting with?
Hi, I love your photography and the channel, and wonder if you’d answer a question for me. Do you take a few lenses out with you each time you go out, or do you just pick one lens/one body for each outing? I love primes, but find it frustrating changing them when I’m out. I’ve considered buying a cheap 2nd body so I can at least take out 2 primes without changing lenses. Perhaps I should just make a note of scenes that would be better with a different focal length and come back another time. I’m still very new to street photography but I’m enjoying it, especially night after rain. Thanks for the great channel, and the inspiration!
Hey, Kevine. I used to take multiple lenses with me. However, I moved past this because it is not very practical. I prefer going out with a single lens and focusing on what this lens can do. Indeed, if I am out and I am observing something that would work with a different focal length, I make a mental note and return with a different lens in the future. Even when traveling, I only carry with me two lenses. One wider and one longer focal length. Appreciate all the support, mate!🙏
Hi Ari. In my opinion, however, the X-T5 is good for any photographic style while the X-H2 is better for video. I have the X-T3 and I still don't need anything else. Thanks for the video. I follow you with pleasure.❤📷
I am thinking of supplementing my arsenal with an XH camera for all the video stuff. Possibly, I would start from XH1 and then move my way up to XH-2. I will always like the XT3. It is a fantastic camera and a pleasure to shoot with! I am very glad you are on board Flavio!
Have the sony A 7r3 and the xt5 along with other fuji's. What i hear is a lot of BS about the xt5.... for starters about the screen. The fuji comunity asked for this type after the xt4.
I know that for many that focus only on photography this type of screen could be a better option as it is more practical. However, if you want to use it for video/self filming it is not ideal. Other than that I love the camera and I will probably couple it with an external monitor for video anyway.
I use natural live view with the simulation turned off, so what I get on the back is nearer to the RAW file I want, also the histogram works better. I didn't get the XT4 because of the car door mirror type rear screen! As a portrait photographer I don't have a problem, it works very well indeed, take a look at the work of Saraya Cortaville, Benjamin Kanarek or Kev Mullins. As for tracking wildlife, this is worth watching though he is using the H2s but the AF is no different>ua-cam.com/video/WHNBI27wvZ0/v-deo.htmlsi=1VSC84VzqCFOx1Gu Keep Shooting.
Yeah..indeed Natural view works better but I struggled a bit to find how to do this. I am glad I managed to find the solution. I agree about the histogram but I love seing my final photo straight on camera. Cheers for all the suggestions!Very insightful comment!

XT3 is a fantastic camera. XT5 is doing alright so far for me. Don't get me wrong, but I do find myself missing the simplicity of the XT-3 sometimes. Who knows? I might end up getting it again in the future, although I am now ready to welcome another Fuji camera in my arsenal!
@@AristeidisSfakianos Thanks for your response.
Thank you for the informative review! I recently picked up the xt5 after first owning the xt3. The size, sensor and ibis are just great for my photography! However for some reason I haven't found the real click yet the same way a I had with the xt3. Maybe it's the slightly worse build quality, maybe it will come later. However I will keep my eyes open for new x pro and x100 releases next year. Happy holidays!🎅
How is it going with it? Did you manage to get a good click? I think I have started getting used to it now and getting some shots I enjoy!I will be keeping an eye for the new x100 as well. You might see in the channel when it comes out.
@@AristeidisSfakianos I am also starting to feel better about it now, such a versatile camera and I dont notice the difference in build quality anymore too much. I am looking forward to your coverage of the new x100 series, let's hope for a new Xpro model as well, because I do prefer an interchangeable lens camera. Love your recent nighttime photography work, keep it up!
Appreciate it a lot @larsingrain ! Looking forward to discussing the new gear with you. Let's see when they come out!
@@AristeidisSfakianos the new x100 has been announced! I immediately got the feeling I wanted it because it looks so good haha! But in the end I think I will go for the xf27 2.8 as my compact option together with my x-t5. I don't really see a reason pay €1800,00 for this camera when I already own a x-t5! I can always look at it again in the future, but I look forward to see what you are going to do!
@larsingrain I saw it yesterday, and I am looking for a way to pre-order it. Did end up finding how?
Hi, now that you have been shooting with the X-T5 for a long time.
1. Do you think it would have been better to switch to a Sony A7 IV, especially since it is also good for photo/video?
2. Do you feel there are disadvantages in terms of ISO and noise in night photography with the X-T5 where a full frame camera would be better?
Well, Sony A7IV outperforms the XT-5 in every way possible. But to jump into such a system for street photography it would be an overkill in my opinion. For video it would be worthwhile but again for the things I do the XT-5 performs fine and my kit doesn't break the bank. So for me it wouldn't make sense to switch back to Sony. But this depends on ones needs. What are you shooting with?
Hi, I love your photography and the channel, and wonder if you’d answer a question for me. Do you take a few lenses out with you each time you go out, or do you just pick one lens/one body for each outing?
I love primes, but find it frustrating changing them when I’m out. I’ve considered buying a cheap 2nd body so I can at least take out 2 primes without changing lenses.
Perhaps I should just make a note of scenes that would be better with a different focal length and come back another time. I’m still very new to street photography but I’m enjoying it, especially night after rain.
Thanks for the great channel, and the inspiration!
Hey, Kevine. I used to take multiple lenses with me. However, I moved past this because it is not very practical. I prefer going out with a single lens and focusing on what this lens can do. Indeed, if I am out and I am observing something that would work with a different focal length, I make a mental note and return with a different lens in the future. Even when traveling, I only carry with me two lenses. One wider and one longer focal length. Appreciate all the support, mate!🙏
Hi Ari. In my opinion, however, the X-T5 is good for any photographic style while the X-H2 is better for video. I have the X-T3 and I still don't need anything else. Thanks for the video. I follow you with pleasure.❤📷
I am thinking of supplementing my arsenal with an XH camera for all the video stuff. Possibly, I would start from XH1 and then move my way up to XH-2. I will always like the XT3. It is a fantastic camera and a pleasure to shoot with! I am very glad you are on board Flavio!
@@AristeidisSfakianos In fact I have to tell the truth that I was undecided between the X-H1 and the X-T3. In the end I'm happy like this. A greeting
@@Flavio.Bucciarelli XH-2 is an impressive camera for video and XT-3 can do absolutely everything! You have an amazing combo!
Have the sony A 7r3 and the xt5 along with other fuji's. What i hear is a lot of BS about the xt5.... for starters about the screen. The fuji comunity asked for this type after the xt4.
I know that for many that focus only on photography this type of screen could be a better option as it is more practical. However, if you want to use it for video/self filming it is not ideal. Other than that I love the camera and I will probably couple it with an external monitor for video anyway.
Maybe the x-h2 is a better option if you are looking for best of both worlds. Grtz.
@@user-ln2on4ig4g That's the plan indeed. I am thinking of starting with the XH1 maybe and then move to the XH2 for video. We will see!
I just sold my X-T5 to return back to Sony :)
Fair enough!There is no one camera for everyone!
The sony A74 has a seperate video and photo mode just like your new camera and therefore very easy to switch from one to the other
I haven't used it. I am glad that Sony make this change!It is very useful!
Thanks for the great expose!
The X-T5 actually has a half stop less of dynamic range compared to the X-T4.
I haven't used the XT-4 so I am not sure how the half stop makes a difference.
I use natural live view with the simulation turned off, so what I get on the back is nearer to the RAW file I want, also the histogram works better. I didn't get the XT4 because of the car door mirror type rear screen! As a portrait photographer I don't have a problem, it works very well indeed, take a look at the work of Saraya Cortaville, Benjamin Kanarek or Kev Mullins. As for tracking wildlife, this is worth watching though he is using the H2s but the AF is no different>ua-cam.com/video/WHNBI27wvZ0/v-deo.htmlsi=1VSC84VzqCFOx1Gu Keep Shooting.
Yeah..indeed Natural view works better but I struggled a bit to find how to do this. I am glad I managed to find the solution. I agree about the histogram but I love seing my final photo straight on camera. Cheers for all the suggestions!Very insightful comment!
