Great tips all around and I really appreciate your informative videos; However, as far as I know the Center-Weighted metering mode ignores the focus point (always evaluates the center of an image, regardless of the focus point) as that is exclusive to the Spot-Metering mode, according to the manual/online info I could gather and test myself. Would love to hear your thoughts on this one.

@snapsbyfox 2 года назад

You are right. I got muddled up. Cheers for bringing it up!

@ritterkeks 2 года назад

True, there even is an additional setting for changing the latter, called „Interlock spot AE & Focus Area“ - although I think you would usually want to leave this on

@RogiervandenBerg 2 года назад

@@snapsbyfox Yes, indeed what Emir DG said, but that's why using SPOT on a Fuji is really great. And, with the latest firmware upgrades of the X100V you can even set a dedicated 'toggle' button to switch between e.g. Multi (let's say that this is your default) and spot for these special moments. I'm using the front Fn2 button for "Spot metering lock" to achieve this.

@sjsphotog 9 месяцев назад

Depends on the camera but yes usually that is correct

@harlowpinson5678 2 года назад

This was extreamly helpful, especially the section on metering settings. I think for the first time, I understand that. Thanks!

@grayexperience 2 года назад

I’m a big fan of aperture propriety, especially when shooting fast paced scenes like kids, dogs, and weddings. The exposure lock is going to help so much! Thank you, Roman.

@malcolmtice175 2 года назад

Another great video Roman. So clear and easy to understand. Should be mandatory watching for all starting out with this little black box. RU-vid videos by good guys like you turned me into a born again photographer. Thanks so much.

@gojkodjurkovic 2 года назад

This is literally the most helpful video that I have watched in last couple of years. Thank you so much for helping us that don't have all the knowledge yet. Keep up with great job!

@RogiervandenBerg 2 года назад

I use AEL very often, but have it locked (click once to turn on, again to turn off) instead of needing to hold it manually like you showed in the video. That way I can expose once lock the exposure and take multiple images having the exact same exposure, thus creating photos that are more of a series

@garciaon Год назад

Hi! How do you do that? When I choose "AE Lock Only" as the setting for the AEL button it still requires me to hold it until the picture is taken. Am I maybe missing something?

@liquidsn Год назад

@@garciaon Hey, I figured it out. you also have to go into SETUP->Button/Dial Setting->pg 2/2 AE/AF-LOCK MODE has to be set to 'on/off switch' That way when you assign a Fn Button to AE Lock Only, it does it.

@HaiTomVlog Год назад

@@liquidsn Dude thank you! I had been trying to find out how to do this for a while! 🤙🏼

@RogiervandenBerg Год назад

@@HaiTomVlog Sorry, missed your question 🙈However, my settings are indeed having the AE/AF-LOCK MODE to on/off switch. And besides that, the AELAFL button to AE LOCK ONLY and the Rear Command Dial (pressing that wheel on the back) to AF LOCK ONLY. → This way you can always lock/fixate your exposure with a press of the AEL button, or your focus with pressing the wheel, separately! 👏 And, if you appoint a button (e.g. Fn2: I'm using that little button on the front for this) to SPOT METERING LOCK, you can easily move into a different metering mode; Spot metering. This allows for very precise targeting where to calculate exposure on. Together with AE LOCK, you can then toggle this SPOT METERING to be able to "aim" where you want to lock your exposure on, based on specific things in your frame. So then, the way of working would be: 1) Enable SPOT METERING 2) Aim for where to lock the exposure on to 3) Lock with AE LOCK

@sjsphotog 9 месяцев назад

Good idea. That also will then allow you to use Back button auto focus since you can't hold down 2 buttons at the same time with your thumb if it wasn't set to be a toggle instead of having to keep it pressed down. I think it deepens on the camera model to see if that is possible to make it a toggle or not though....

@jwalexsander 2 года назад

Kudos to you man! I spent the evening binge watching your videos because they are so good! You're able to teach a lot of useful things in a very clear, understanble way. Needless to say I'm subscribed now.

@OldManCassius 2 года назад

Great video duder! I didn't think I'd learn anything new since I'm super comfortable with aperture priority but man was I wrong. I especially liked the bits on the photometry modes and the practical use of the AEL function. I already knew what they did but having examples of *when* to use them is super helpful.

@EmmerdalePat 2 года назад

Once I finally got my Tamron 2.8, I always felt that I had to shoot portraits or single items on 2.8...but sometimes the images were too soft. I now have the confidence to shoot them on 4, and the images are lovely! Another great lesson on my photography journey! Thank you so much! From a very grateful 60+ year old lady. I have subscribed x

@AGoodBuzz Год назад

When you think about it, you kinda' buy a f2.8 so f4 is in optimum range, because if you bought an f4 it would be wide open and not at an optimum aperture... f8 would 5.6 or better would be.

@jasonbodden8816 9 месяцев назад

Glad you mentioned A(uto) E(xposure) L(ock) as it's crucial to using Aperture Priority correctly. If AEL isn't engaged when establishing focus the exposure won't be locked in so if you recompose, the camera's meter will go with the reading that it takes from wherever your camera ends up pointing before you take the shot. Aperture Priority is fantastic. I love it.

Phenomenal video. I’ve been shooting in Manual since my first film camera in the early 2000’s. The last year I’ve started exploring aperture priority, this video is what I needed to see about 20 years ago 😂. Understanding the exposure triangle is great, but I’ve spent so much time fumbling with my settings instead of getting the shot. Thank you.

Great refresher on why to use Aperture Priority, I found it nice to revisit reasons for using it. The AEL button is (in my set-up) not easy to use as I prefer back-button focusing which I use predominantly for wildlife.

@chrismacdonald.6295 10 месяцев назад

Very useful tutorial thank you. I’m a street photographer with a Fuji XT5. My first outing with it, Notting Hill Carnival !) , was a cloudy day yet many of my shots were under exposed. Poor use of the exposure compensation control. My second outing, (Brick Lane), was a sunny day yet no less challenging. The custom control on this dial is very useful for on the fly adjustments. Yet I still over did it. Your comment about small adjustments was very helpful.Thanks again.

@user-kj3ch3ke8m Месяц назад

One of the best videos of its kind I've seen. That goes for many of your videos, Roman, I have to say(!), but this was outstanding. Having used a Lumix FZ2500 (bridge) camera for a couple of years, very happily, I have for several reasons acquired a Fujifilm X-T5. A big part of that decision was based on your discussion of the custom modes that you can set on the X-T5, which weren't available on the Lumix. A bit of background goss: I discovered your channel in 2022, a couple of weeks after I discovered James Popsys. I then discovered that you're mates, and have been following both of you ever since. Many thanks!

This was a very helpful video and it got me re-thinking my approaches. For me, the ‘Photometry’ penny dropped some time ago when I realised it was just Fujifilm’s way of saying “Photometering” aka Light Metering. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so clever and so stupid at the same time… Thanks to this video I’m going to start using that AEL button more often!
