Thank you, great video 🙏🏼
Thanks!
Thank you!
Glad I found your videos, Booray. Thanks for the deep dive into the menus. I use two systems and it helps to know the details to set them up similarly.
Thanks😁😁
When you switch to manual focus mode the AEL/AFL button will focus, you don't have to reassign the button to AF-ON. It will still lock the exposure as well in the default setting. The X100F works the same way.
If you 'click' the joystick you can then change the focus point size using the back control wheel. I set the button function of the back control wheel to 'ISO' so I can switch between auto ISO settings without menu diving (on the X-E3 the ISO menu also includes all manual ISO settings, the camera does not have a physical ISO control, it's the easiest way I've found to access ISO settings on that camera, so I set the X100V to work in a similar way to keep things consistent).
Some people swear by using backbutton focus, but it's not for me. If you want to *always* use backbutton focus you can set the shutter release not to focus (setup -> button/dial settings -> shutter AF), and assign AF-ON to a button of your choice.
I see AF Range Limiter is only avaiable in M focus mode. Antonio's explanation makes sense. Appreciate your taking time to go through this.
Love the idea of following along, nice way to do it
This is a very, VERY useful video, thank you so much for making the rather complex AF/MF menu easy to understand for a rather impatient user such as myself.
There are so many menus and options on these cameras that sometimes I think I make a video just so that I can remind myself of what everything does! 😁
Hi Booray, I've only just recently got this camera and I'm trawling the UA-cam videos to find the best way to set it up. I came across this and it's fantastic, exactly what I want. I'm just a bit confused as you seem to be saying at the beginning that you have the rear wheel set to select both the Focus Area and the Focus Mode. That's obviously not correct so which button do you have to select which option?
Sorry for the confusion. The rear wheel is set to Focus area, which means if you click it and turn it the size of the focus are will change. The AF mode in the menu is set to All. That means that when i use the wheel to change the size of the focus area it will cycle through the different AF settings. So, say you start at the smallest focus spot and start to cycle up. It will go through about 5 sizes in "Single Point" then switch to "Wide" and do about 5 sizes before going to "wide" which is the whole screen. If you change the AF mode to say, single point, it will just cycle through those first sizes and start over never getting as big as the zone or wide sizes. :)
@@BoorayPerry Ah, that’s clear now. I’ll try it that as you’ve suggested. Cheers for quick reply.
Many thanks for this very helpful tuto !!!
Using the view finder and AF, is it an option to be able to move the focus point, not being obliged to press the focus trigger before ? It's weird for me since moving the focus point is obviously the first action I do when switching on the camera, so why another action ?
My joystick moves my focus point without having to press anything else.
@@BoorayPerry lucky you ! I’ll try to find why
AF Range Limiter is useful for candid street photography. Quick sharp photos if you stick to the pre-set distance.
Thanks Booray. Another great video.
Thanks, my settings are set like yours but it was good to see your take and also why you set them this way. I learned a few things also.
Best video on UA-cam... Learned all I needed to know 😁👍
Thanks!
finest video booray, with a lot of information and humor. looking forword for the next to come!!!
Thanks! :)
Good Morning, Booray.....I am still laughing about the video. Your humor really comes through. When all is said and done, the technology today is way smarter than all of us. Also, it is not necessarily what we need to take good pictures. So, along with the very basic setups you confirm are important, I would offer a large dose of relaxing and breathing as necessary elements to help enjoy this glorious piece of equipment. My own conclusions have been this camera requires a large dose of sneaking up on it and absorbing it over a period of time. It is not a camera one just wakes up with a full understanding of it’s capabilities and quirks. Thank you for a terrific video and just another confirmation of why I own this camera. Regards....Wayne
I can't find "relaxing and breathing" in the menu!!! :)
The Instant AF Setting also applies if you have the AEL/AFL button set to "AF LOCK ONLY" or "AE/AF LOCK". In this case the AEL/AFL button enables back button focus when in manual focus mode, and the Instant AF Setting determines whether it's Single or Continuous.
Thanks! :)
Nice presentation hope you have more to go through on the x100V, thanks.
Boo, how the heck do you get the rear command dial when pushed in to go to AF modes? Thx.
Buckle up because I'm about to blow your mind. Push in the dial and hold it... The settings menu for the dial will pop up on the rear screen and you can set it to focus area 📷😎😁👍
Thanks, nicely done!
Superb set of videos. Thank you.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks! This cleared up several things I've struggled with. Appreciated.
Thanks for watching 😁
The range limiter, when in use, will increase the autofocus speed since the camera will only operate within the selected constraints., i.e. either beginning at 2 meters or 5 meters in the presets or in the range you set in custom. My preference is to merely zone focus with aperture and focus distance in manual focus mode.
I think that is right, it’s for faster focusing. My 70-300 lens for my XT4 has a switch that limits AF to more than 5 metres for the same reason. I haven’t tested whether either function really does makes practical speed difference, though
I USE IT WHEN I WANT TO AF THROUGH GLASS
Excellent Job, Helped me take my run and gun to the next level.
Thanks for watching!
Range Limiter, It was a catchy tune 'standing on the corner watching.....', But if you were, and set the range to across the street for the gals to walk by' I think you could reduce the focusing time. OK, I've never tried it, but you gave me something to think about. Thanks again.
Yeah, I've only ever thought of the purpose of range limiter in terms of reducing back and forth hunting that contrast-detect-focusing cameras do, but that can't be what range limiter is for in this camera, since it focuses using phase detect.
You really are gifted at explaining things, I gotta say.
Now, if only I could find someone teaching higher math that's as gifted as you... (Nancy Pi comes closest)
Well thank you! :)
How do you assign the joystick to move the green focus square button to a specific point in my shot?
When you click the back wheel it activates that feature
I am new to the x100 line, just bought the V. I bought it as my travel and carry everywhere camera. I also come from the world of shooting raw and processing. I love your approach of shooting jpegs and getting a final image in the camera. Do you adjust the in camera settings for the jpegs? A video on the pros and cons would be helpful there. Thanks
Do you mean adjust the exposure prior to capture or are you talking about custom film simulations?
The options in the IQ menu for color, sharpness, noise reduction and clarity
@@garyscaife429 I actually don't adjust those settings. I know that a lot of people have their own custom setup but I've found that Fuji does such a good job of giving you a good image to start with... my instinct is always to have the original file just be a good clean file and then I can modify it later if I want to
Booray Perry Thanks. I’ve been enjoying your videos and like your practical approach.
Really appreciate your videos!
Thank youi!
Another great video! Thank you!
Range Limiter: i imagine a sports stadium with some expectators in front of me, between me and the players. I can set the range limiter to not focus on the people in front of me but to only focus at the distance of the players.
I think it will work better with zone focus so if i aim at the same time to a expectator (near) and a player (far) the camera will choose the player because is in the range.
Also i think is better use the RELEASE option so the camera will take a picture even when it fails to choose the focus but will only focus in the range selected.
More focus points is more accurate less is faster
Hey Booray...sure would love a new video.
I know.. I need a new one. The thing is... I did so mant for the X100F and they all apply to the V as well. I'm actually planning a live seminar on exposure, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, etc sometime soon. :)
@@BoorayPerry Will be watching out for it. Really enjoy your content, style, personality and sense of humor. Although, the podcast is where that sense of humor really shines through. You guys crack me up. Keep on keepin' on.
Thank you so much! ❤️
How do you change the rear command dial to the different focus settings? It’s not part of the other options like shutter speed, aperture, exp comp, etc.
I believe it's default. You have to push it in first...
@@BoorayPerry Thx for the reply. If I press in the rear command dial it toggles between 2 box sizes in the lower right. I'm not sure what that is exactly. I thought it would cycle between single, zone, wide-tracking and all.
@@LtCore My first question is "Can you move that box around using the joystick?"
@@BoorayPerry Yes, I can, then after I move it, the display changes to a bunch of small focus dots. This is only happens in single focus mode and All focus mode. Sorry for the basic questions, just not understanding.
@@LtCore Try this: Go to setup/button dial setting/function (fn) setting and see what the back dial is set to. Mine is set to "Focus Area"
Excellent! Can you elaborate a little on Corrected A/F frame please. Tried it and yes noticed the extra focus box - so far so good..question is: for example say one was focusing on a cup on a table with the optical viewfinder and corrected af on.. do you still point the camera at the cup as normal with it in the green box or, do you move the camera so the cup falls within the extra box?
Pretty sure it's the corrected box. The whole point of showing you that box is to show you what you are actually focusing on.
@@BoorayPerry thanks , ok am going to test it out to confirm
Ok, I tested it against the writing on a cigarette packet standing on a table, from a distance. If you focus using the green box as usual on the packet - the writing is sharp, if you point the camera at the packet using the dotted box it is blurred. So, have to use the usual auto focus green box. Mmmm I don't see what the other box is for in that case ...
@@davidcoulson5229 I'm going to have to get into this myself now 😁
@@BoorayPerry great, it would be nice to know what you discover, I use the optical viewfinder quite a lot as like the retro vibe of it, although the evf is probably better in most other ways
I use range limiter in house when I shoot my kids, they move quickly...rooms aren’t huge...I know the range basically and the camera is a bit faster focusing. Not a game changer, but quite useful from time to time..
arent these settings same as the F most of them?
Many are but there are a lot of new things. :)
Hilarious!. I have saved this video for the next time I feel the urge to upgrade my X100 or any other camera. I have used an AF Range Limiter function on my 150-600 zoom lens on a DSLR for surfing photography. I used to use a version of "Store AF Mode" on a DSLR for events, until David Ziser told me to shoot all landscape and crop if I need a vertical. But for the X100 series? Good Grief! Great video !!! You kept a straight face through most of it. BRAVO!
pre af is bs it eats your battery and its always trying to focus and its annoying and makes blurry photos
