Absolutely fantastic video. I own 3 different brands and haven't used my xh1. It took me a while to get going. I just couldn't get my settings where I wanted . THIS video explained so much with clarity back in track. I'm glad it's such a GEM .Thank you so much.
Ok, I may be wrong...but I'm pretty sure you have the shadow settings backward from what you're saying. I know it seems backwards, but if you want to open up your shadows, you'd use a "negative" adjustment...that is, "less" shadows. Using a +1 setting makes your shadows darker...I think.
You are correct. Plus settings in Shadows means darker shadows; Minus settings mean lighter shadows, ie, “opening up the shadows.” Plus settings in Highlights means brighter highlights; Minus settings mean darker highlights, ie, “protecting the highlights.” It took me awhile to get used this when I started shooting Fuji a few years ago. The way I think of it: Regardless of the control you’er talking about, Plus gets you more (deeper shadows, brighter highlights) and Minus gets you less (less inky shadows and less over-exposure on the highlights).
Thank you very much for putting this together. I can't figure out why when I record video, the color profile changes although I've set in place before recoding. Anything I'm missing? Thank you.
@@boahandarrowsproductions4326 That seems weird, the color profile should follow the ones that the camera is in. the only thing I can think about is if you switch the Drive mode to video, it might remember your last Video setting vs Photo setting. Hope this helps and thanks for the feedback!
Just bought an XH1. This is a five year old video. There have been several FW upgrades. Does this change the way you set up your camera? Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)
A lot of you asked me about the settings I use for shooting stills and video with my Fujifilm cameras. Here it is! Let me know if you have any questions right here 👇🏻
Trying to find out how to switch OFF my movie setting when taking B&W stills in manual setting. I'm using L 1:1 4000 x 4000 with manual lenses and for some reason the camera keeps switching into MOVIE SETTING really, really annoying when your about to take a shot. Can I get rid of MOVIE SETTING completely ie lock it out as I don't take video at all and don't intend to. Thanks.
Good day. Very informative video. Looking at adding an xh1 or xt3 ? Would the ibis be a difference maker in terms of sharpness? Does it affects image sharpness if you are at a fast shutter speed?
as you mentioned in your video that you already saw the xt3, what will be your comments about it? i do have xh1 and i am wondering why they make it more cheaper than xt3 any recommendation or motivation why i need to keep my xh1? by the way thanks for sharing your setting i might try this one :) looking forward for more updates! xiao!
Thank you for this video Fred, I have a question regarding your IBIS noise, I tend to hear a loud clunking noise every time I turn the camera or pressing the play button, any comment?
Alireza mehranjani Not sure I can help here as I don’t hear this on my X-H1... Maybe a good idea to check with Fuji and see if it’s something they can fix.
Read your comment, my XH1 does the same thing. You can alter the IBIS to continual and then you won't hear the noise, you must have it on shoot only. The only time it will produce a clunking sound is when you check your photos as it switches it off. But you do get use to it. I use it for street photography with IBIS on permanent and it's silent. hope that helps.
I hope you still answer here (saw you comment 5 days ago), but did you change the wheel on the top left from S to ADV? when I change to adv the preview on the lcd looks more "real" compared to s, it looks kinda empty color wise, I hope you get what I mean :D I just got my X-H1 yesterday and I'm trying to figure out everything :D
@@FredRanger ahh okay thank you :D it's really awesome from you that you still help after 2 years. I hope that I can become a good photographer now haha
When I use silent mode on my X-H1, the aperture I set in movie mode, is also set in photo mode, and cannot be changed until I switch silent mode off. Do you also have the same 'issue' or would this be working as designed?
Is it normal that the X-H1 always makes noise? As soon as you switch it on you hear a noise like a pc fan. Is that the IBIS - why does it also make the noise when IBIS is set to "shooting only"? Only scenario where the camera is silent is in the picture preview mode. Got my X-H1 yesterday and that annoys me a bit :-/
This was a great help Fred, you explained evrything well thanks for that, the menu in the Fujifilm X-H1 is a nightmare compared to all the pro cameras.
That's weird, it should let you go as low as the camera can shoot (160 or 200 ISO depending on the model) Do you have Movie Silent Control on? If yes, that will deactivate the physical dials. You will have to set it via the touch screen menu (top right in movie mode)
Fred Ranger Thanks for your reply. I figured it out. If on flog I knew already you can’t go lower than iso 800 but if its off it has to be in dynamic range 100% otherwise at DR 400% it will also prevent you from going below that. And that is in any film simulation mode.
Great I just discovered your video ! have you experienced aliasing effects when you shoot in slow motion 120p ? Have you a recipe to solve this ? Thanks a lot !!!!
Mister King, thanks for taking the time to write this review. Hope you will find channels more aligned with the type of videos you like here on UA-cam. Nobody forces you to watch mine. Cheers!

@FredRanger I appreciate your help. I've checked that step and will go over it again.. Thank you for your reply.
I have problem please helpme, can we change object focus using touch focus while recording a video?
Freddy, bought a X-H1 just now.....practically new, 4 months old. Excited:-). What are the best sd cards for it?
Nice, you made a good choice! I use a mix of SanDisk and Lexar Professional SDXC II 64 GB and they never let me down! Happy shooting!
@@FredRanger thanks Fred, happy shooting.

Great Video Pretty good setting tho... Keep it up !! hope to see more video about Fuji H-X1
Thank you 🙏

I just made a video that answers exactly that ;-) let me know if that helps! ua-cam.com/video/W_cRA-CBXrg/v-deo.html
When I manually focus, my XH-1 always zooms in on my LCD screen. Is there a way to turn that feature off? Peaking is enough for me. Thanks!
I think what you're looking for is in Screen Settings and the option is Focus Check On or Off. Let me know if you find it!

Nope never ose ADV. always use normal photo mode. If you want more pop in the Colors try the film simulations by hitting the Q button. Cheers!
@@FredRanger ahh okay thank you :D it's really awesome from you that you still help after 2 years.

takes time and a lot of crap photos . I could show you those one day to to cheer you up ;-) Keep on shooting! Cheers!
Great video, thanks
Glad you liked it!

I don't have this issue on my end. Did you do the latest firmware update?
If 1.12 is the latest firmware, then yes.
Hello. I set up camera as u told. And now when i change iso and shooter speed nothing happens.
Can u please tell me what I did and how to fix ? Thanks
That is in stills or video mode?
Hoping you can try out the X-T3 and give us your impressions, especially in regards to the eye-af (as compared to a7iii).
I will definitely try to get my hands on one and report back. Stay tuned!
any idea on why my XH1 focus searches all the time... every video it focus jumping..... I was told to change to 91 points instead of the 300
Also check the focussing mode if you are on multi or zone
Is it normal that the X-H1 always makes noise? As soon as you switch it on you hear a noise like a pc fan. Is that the IBIS - why does it also make the noise when IBIS is set to "shooting only"? Only scenario where the camera is silent is in the picture preview mode.
Got my X-H1 yesterday and that annoys me a bit :-/
The IBIS does make a subtle noise when it’s on. May check with your local camera shop or Fuji directory if it’s overboard. Cheers!
Thanks' for great and your a natural, teacher maybe when your not working as a photographer , thanks'
Thanks a lot for the feedback! Glad your found value in the content I share. Cheers!
+1 in the shadows will close it.. Not opening it as you mentioned in the video
Hey the peak design anchors dont get inside the xh1 eyelets ,does that bother you?
Nope not at all
Priceless ! Merci Fred :)
Pleasure!
Mega Bits per second!!!
Yup, you know the difference between mega bits vs mega bytes.
This was a great help Fred, you explained evrything well thanks for that, the menu in the Fujifilm X-H1 is a nightmare compared to all the pro cameras.
Glad I could help. Let me know if you have any other questions. Happy shooting!
Why you didn’t you zoom in little more?
Not sure what you mean, zoom in on my face?
At 12:54m, You are showing the Film Simulation (Movie) ... mine is defaulted as STD and I can't make changes. Any idea why? Thanks.
Song Choon Tan are you sure you are not on fLog mode?
Hi Fred, I followed exactly the same settings as I am watching your video. FYI, I am using firmware 2.0.
That’s weird... maybe try a reset to factory default...
Can the X-h1 record video to two slots?
Not simultaneously
Hi. How can you monitor highlight clipping for video?
Sadly, there are no Zebra lines feature in the X-H1 to do just that. You will have to rely on the histogram. (The X-T3 has the Zebras)
@@FredRanger thank you for your answer. Great content. Subscribed.
@@andreaszografos6055 Thanks a lot and don't hesitate if you have any other questions!
Why won’t it let me go below iso 800 on the movie mode? Doesn’t matter if i am on f-log or not. Still wil not go below.
That's weird, it should let you go as low as the camera can shoot (160 or 200 ISO depending on the model) Do you have Movie Silent Control on? If yes, that will deactivate the physical dials. You will have to set it via the touch screen menu (top right in movie mode)

Yes! Glad you found it!
is slow motion auto focus ?
yes it is!
In many ways... Thanks!
You're welcome!
Great I just discovered your video !
have you experienced aliasing effects when you shoot in slow motion 120p ? Have you a recipe to solve this ?
Thanks a lot !!!!
Same here. That’s one of the flaws of this camera. Try to keep the ISO as low as you can!
How to reset all setting fujifilm x h1
How’s the new firmware 2.01 .
I don’t own the X-H1 anymore so Incant tell. The latest firmware on my X-T3 brings faster AF and better responsiveness overall though.
It’s very useful for me ths
Glad it could help!
Fujifilm x pro 2 settings
Well, with the autofocus the Sony is showing here, you could've done better with the X-H1 hooked up for this vlog...
True, the a6400 I was using back then wasn’t the best at AF. Must say that the A7iV and ZV1 im currently using are so good though.
Video starts @2:55
Thank you so much, I couldn’t figured it out...
Good video but way too many commercial interruptions
Get premium 🤩 no adverts 👍
With me Guys "X-T3, X-T3, X-T3, X-T3, X-T3"...
You sad yourself this channel is all about change ;)
Sorry, what do you mean by “you sad yourself”?
@@FredRanger I think he meant to write 'said' vs 'sad'
That would make more sense, I don’t want him to be sad ;-)
No IBIS
And your point is?
You talk like the guy from Imagining the tenth dimension
He must be a frenchy from Canada then ;)
If you are using your SONY camera to shoot this video, it is focus hunting and is terrible!!! :(
In hindsight, this camera sure turned out to be a disappointment.
What makes you say that?
Mr. Ranger, you claim this video is about settings....you spend over 2 minutes on non related hot air, Sir. Please get to the point.
