I've had the X-T10 and X-T20 for over a year and love both !!

Get the xc 35mm f2, it's great for the price.

I’ve just got my fuji XT-3 and got confused how to use. After this video i became like ‘woww i seeee’ thanks for the explaining in detail and explaining way, mimic gives great impression people who watch. Thanks again you tha best Omar🤞🏼

@athulsathian2098 4 года назад

❤️ became a fuji XT-30 owner watching ur videos. Still learning from your videos. Thank you 😘

@ukaszStachowiak 4 года назад

Hey, this is one of the most important topics regarding camera settings. Please do more of that, af modes are very interesting! Thanks!

@ricaa50 4 года назад

I own a number of Fuji cameras and your explanation / demonstration of this is great. You kept it simple and relatable that anyone should be able to understand. A follow-up video going into the AF Custom settings would be a good compliment to this.

@carlosdias1940 3 года назад

Countless times that I have reviewed this video. Always learned when watching it again. Determined to use XT3 on action sports! Cheers

@rbbd9735 3 года назад

The XT3 is definitely not an "action sport" camera. If you are looking to capture fast motion try Sony or Canon.

@ldenglish316 4 года назад

Best autofocus video I have ever seen. Thank you! I all makes sense now!

@znuznuvideo 3 года назад

New to photography and Fuji and I am learning and really enjoying your sense of humor. Thanks

@marcpilon4585 4 года назад

Informative video. Note that at 6:02 you recommend single focus but the video shows Continuous focus. Keep doing those useful videos. I love my X T20

@wanakoplays8874 4 года назад

imo, these Fujis are just so good even at high ISOs. Personally, I blast my X-E3 and X-T3 up to 12800 if need be. Noise be damned, I'm getting that shot! lol. Thanks for the cool video Omar!

@migneault62 4 года назад

holly damn, I couldn't get myself to go higher than 1200 iso for a good while ! xD

@wanakoplays8874 4 года назад

@@migneault62 i feel people these days are way too fixated on having the cleanest image possible and will actually choose to NOT take that important photo, all because the ISO was too high and may be a little noisy. I was like that when I was a noob, and I deeply regret it. I potentially missed my best shots because of it. It was very stupid. I mean, yeah there are limits to how high you can go, but it's not that bad. Back around the days when I started photography around '06, my Canon 30D's ISO 800 was the highest I'd go because it turned really bad after that, and I used it for 10 years. In retrospect, it wasn't that bad, tbh. But compared to that, a Fuji's 12800 is nothing.

@TheSH1N1GAM1 4 года назад

Wanako Plays! I totally agree. I was the same way with my Canon 60D. Now I have auto ISO set to max out at 12800. A slightly noisy shot is better than no shot because it’s 5 stops underexposed. That’s really the worst it is with modern cameras: slightly noisy.

@chromaticvisionstudio5489 4 года назад

This is one of your best videos to date awesome job man.

@Lucky888s 4 года назад

Omar I love your reviews and tutorials. This was especially helpful in understanding the use of zone focusing and how fast a shutter speed you use. Photographing fast action in the local high school gyms often poses 2 problems for me. The first is White Balance because of the odd mix of lights employed and the second is the lack of sufficient light to have fast shutter speeds even at high ISO. The first issue I solved using custom WB settings. I recently purchased a collapsible neutral gray and white uh... thingy to set the WB. Before that I either let auto WB struggle or sometimes found a white wall in the gym to use to set WB. But I digress. To solve the second problem of the low light I have tried setting the exposure compensation to -1 or lower, to capture darker images. This allowed for faster shutter speeds. I used RAW and then boosted the exposure back up in post processing.

@manjitsohal891 2 года назад

Brilliant as always, thanks for such a great and clear explanation

@missingshape2362 3 года назад

Really well explained. Doing Gig Photography getting that sharp focus is so hard especially in low light while trying not to go crazy with the ISO. Going to experiment a little though with some of what you mentioned here.

@HaiTomVlog 2 года назад

Thanks for the advice, Omar! 🤙🏼

@giselesmith7795 4 года назад

Thanks for the tutorial Omar. I do believe I understand what to do now with a faster subject. I'll find out next time out with my camera (tomorrow).

@94slingshot 4 года назад

You don’t need 1/1000 to shoot action. I shoot bicycle racing from around 1/320 even 1/250; if needed, matter of fact back in the film days the old standard night sports was f/2.8 at 1/250th. Usually for bike racing I’ll try for 1/400 or 1/500, granted high can be better, but not necessary, a little blur on the extremities does show motion. I’ll shoot roller derby if I’m not using a strobe anywhere from 1/250 to 1/500 depending on the ambient light. One thing I notice with the Fuji’s is they focus on Continuous better is using burst drive modes.

@anthonylai3622 4 года назад

Why not set to continuous focus all the time?

@streetwalks3853 4 года назад

Holy springs Batman! Your kid has a vertical! I find single point/continuous on an X-T2 largely ineffective. Need that zone for almost all instances when continuous. I’ve heard the T3 is better in this respect.

I discovered in my recent trip to Brazil that I skipped this important aspect of photography and what a disaster was for me. Couldn't capture a lot of awesome things taking place and now I regret. Wished I've watched this clip earlier.

changed a bit with X-T4 - single point with C-AF works very good - but you have to hold the AF-field on the subject ;-)

Sorry Omar. I queried XT4, but I liked your presentation. Trying to find out about XT4 capability for AF tracking for wildlife, kids, and birds.

@johnnydee7480 4 года назад

Thank you!!! GREAT VIDEO

@andreitelenkov5775 4 года назад

You forgot to mention one important thing. No matter how you set it up, it will be no better than 50-50 proposition. Also I suspect that changing those settings has little to no effect on the percentages mentioned above. in highly dynamic situations at close distances, the best bet is pre-focusing/manual focusing.

@miker7808 4 года назад

@ozpain1 Месяц назад

late to the game here but: what focus settings should be used for a subject in one spot, but the are moving quickly from standing to prone (for video settings on the x-T5)?

@Petrolhead66 4 года назад

I would be grateful if sometime you would cover af-c custom modes

@cloggyable 3 года назад

Great video as always :) but you showed the wrong picture at 6.12 minute mark, you talk about AF-S but show an AF-C picture :) Would you use eye tracking as well for subjects moving towards you ?

@russellfernandes9607 4 года назад

Thanks for another great video Omar. What settings would you recommend for taking pics of a First Holy Communion in a church with on an X-T20 + XF18-55mm F2.8-4 lens using a camera mounted flash like the Godox 860V II pointed upwards ? The church has a 20 ft. high white ceiling Also in such conditions how do I nail focus and exposure each time ?

@fidiak 7 месяцев назад

Thank you

@kristiejochim3170 4 года назад

Do you have the continuous focus on release?

@ibadriba Год назад

A general question: Is the autofocus something they can fix in updates? Or is there a mechanical limitation of sorts?

@set32281 4 года назад

Hi Omar! Great video, thank you! Can you tell me which focus you use for a street photography if somedy step into a frame, and you want that person be in focus? Thank you!

@taterandy3958 2 года назад

I am using a X-T1 and I am currently trying to learn shoo2 action sports. Your video is a godsend!! I have a question if I am using a suitable lens like a 90mm f2 or higher could I stop down to like 2.8 to get a higher keeper rate of in focus photos?

@nwmi23 4 года назад

Thanks for the informative video Omar. Would you recommend the Fuji XT-3 or the Sony a7iii for fast moving subjects?

@sophiaq3779 3 года назад

Omar, I’m about to sell my Fuji xt20 unless I can figure out how to get my camera to stop focusing in and out during videos. Please make a video on this if you can. 😂🙏🏼
