  • Tutorial and Review of the focus modes of the Fujifilm X-T3 camera. The mirrorless camera's focus mode settings that are explained also apply to the Fujifilm X-T2 as well.
    Link to the official Fujifilm Focus Mode site: fujifilm-x.com/af/en/ (NOTE: Looks like this website is down and/or offline. Not sure why they took it down)
    Full info on the AF-C Custom Settings: fujifilm-x.com/af/en/af_guide...
    AF-C Custom Settings:
    TRACKING SENSITIVITY
    This parameter determines how long the camera waits to switch focus when an object enters the focus area behind or in front of the current subject. The higher the value, the longer the camera will wait.
    SPEED TRACKING SENSITIVITY
    This parameter determines how sensitive the tracking system is to changes in subject velocity. The higher the value, the greater the precision with which the system attempts to respond to sudden movement.
    ZONE AREA SWITCHING
    This parameter determines the focus area given priority in zone AF.
    CENTER: Zone AF assigns priority to subjects in the center of the zone.
    AUTO: The camera locks focus on the subject at the center of the zone and then switches focus areas as necessary to track it.
    FRONT: Zone AF assigns priority to the subjects closest to the camera.

If only you could see what what we see! You are fantastic! I have learned so much from you and I mean honestly, you could just turn the camera on and ramble and I know we'd be entertained!

    Hello , I hope you see this comment. I've been taking photos for a LONG time. However I've never owned a really nice camera. I have created some amazing shots over the years with the equipment I had. It's been quite a few years since using anything but the pro settings on my Samsung Galaxy phone. My last camera was unfortunately taken from my truck . Not a big loss monetarily but emotionally. I've decided to save up for a Fuji xt3 after researching for a month. Thanks to UA-cam, I found your phenomenal channel. Every day I find myself watching all your tutorial videos on the Fuji as well as other great informative videos. I wanted you to know that I can totally relate to what you shared with us at the end of this video. You are one of my new favorite people on UA-cam. Your videos are ALWAYS informative and just as important, entertaining. I've already learned so much more about photography in a month than I have in my life. I feel very confident I will be able to navigate the xt3 much easier after watching your videos. For this I thank you good sir. Keep up the great work, we who watch you, respect and appreciate all you have done and continue to do. Wish me luck finding a silver xt3 in 2022. Take care, Keith 📷

      Hey Mark!!! Wow, thank you so much sir!!!! I so appreciate those kind words, especially the info about the anxiety to match previous work. I'm working on a video now (to follow this one) and am constantly reminding myself to just have fun with it and get what I can. It's become like a mantra because if I don't repeat it all the time, I'll slip back into the chocking block for sure. Ain't being a creative / right brained sort of person just GRAND!! :-) Thanks again and please keep in touch!!! 🙏

    I'm a beginner with a T3 I purchased in March. Your to the point, plain spoken advice has been immensely helpful and your presentation enjoyable. It's like you know what I'm asking. Your explanation of the 3 focus modes is right on time! Now I'm watching the rest of your videos. I appreciate your efforts!

You explain the cameras and settings in such a fun, easy way. Please keep up the great work & I wish you & your channel all the best for now & in the future. Amazing work 👍🏼

      Thanks Heriberto. I use both the 170 and 300 mbs cards. If you aren't using H265 and just default video on camera, I'd start with this one as it's a lot cheaper and you don't need the 300mbs bitrate: amzn.to/2LPFUay

    Just wanted to say I really appreciate straightforward yet detailed videos like this. I've been shooting RE with my xt-3 for almost a year, so I haven't needed to deal with all the ins and outs of fuji's autofocus system. I have a wedding coming up, and now I'm scrambling to get a handle on all the stuff I now need to use for event photography.

    This video hit me right where I can feel it most. I know exactly what you are talking about. Many of us do.
    I discovered your channel after doing a lot of research for cameras that I could take on regular hiking and backpacking trips. You’ve given me a lot of confidence with my very recent X-T3 investment-I’ve started from your oldest content and just now reached this video. I appreciate your honesty. I appreciate what you were going through. And I appreciate YOU.
    I plan to use my X-T3 to launch a local hiking channel and another for thruhiking. I’ve no idea how it’s going to go, but you are an inspiration. If I can put in similar effort and give back to others as you’ve given to us then I’ll count it successful.

    Chris, I’m still binge watching your past vids, and glad I am. This one really hit home. I’ve had my XT4 for a few days and still learning the Fuji (vs Canon) world, and nearly 100% of your vids on XT3 are applicable. Then you get to the part about the struggle to continue to stay productive on UA-cam. I’ve honestly looked to do a channel for more than a year, and I have ideas, and gear, and yet I stay in this constant state of “blocked”. Thanks for the honesty - I got as much from this as the tech you shared. Later from NC.

    • @pal2tech
      @pal2tech  4 роки тому

      Hey Steven, awww man I could not possibly imagine binge watching my videos. I would feel like I drank 6 cups of coffee and swallowed 3 Dexatrim. And about creating a channel? Literally just start shooting and posting. I can't stress that enough. I know you will come up with some great content and if you already have ideas that it would be a huge shame not to at least try it. What you have to lose? It's free to set up a UA-cam account and free to publish a video right? If you do end up doing this, let me know the link to your channel. In the meantime, I hope you are staying safe in North Carolina and please keep in touch!
