Camera settings for street photography & tips!
Ok so i'm finally getting round to this video.. its my number one requested video so i hope you like it and find it useful.
Although i shoot my street photography with either a Fujifilm XT3, X100F or XPro2, these camera settings are universal and can be implemented to any camera.
Mirrorless cameras are amazing and offer a ton of cool features but DSLR's are still perfect for street photography so don't feel you need to upgrade..
Ive been shooting street photography and filming my adventures for a while now. Over that time my style of shooting and the way i set my cameras up have changed. Now i feel i'm happy with my cameras and the way i shoot so i feel confident sharing these camera settings with you.
Please bare in mind, these are just my preferences, there are many amazing street photographers shooting with completely different camera settings
I hope you found this video useful :-)

Front button I use to focus-on, find it more comfortable for my hands. Especially when I am flipping the screen up and shooting from my waist etc. Front button focusing ftw!

@robsenior6570 4 года назад

Great video, Gareth. I’ve set the front button to autoexposure lock, and it works really well especially if you have one or more setting on auto in the exposure triangle. 1. Back button focus the subject. 2. Move the camera around the subject to find the desired exposure and hold with your middle finger. 3. Recompose and shoot.

@GarethDanks 4 года назад

Hey rob that’s brilliant mate. Like that. Could work well. Great how we can customise these cameras ay. 👍🏻😊

@traceybartlam5940 2 года назад

Interesting video. I’d love to get into street photography but feel conspicuous with my dslr, it’s pretty large and obvious! I had an M50 and traded it for a 90d, regretted trading it ever since and so contemplating a smaller, less obvious mirrorless but ££😳 I’m so used to canons menus being straightforward I’m not sure if I’d get confused with someone else’s 😂 really enjoying all your videos and something new to learn, thanks for the content.

@simonbarnes7124 4 года назад

I shoot the XT1 and X100T mainly. Great info for those learning to get to grips and customising their cameras. I went Fujifilm because it was the best system for both landscape and street, for me anyway. It’s been a long time since I’ve picked up a Canon. I also shoot Sony A6300’s but there’s just something about those Fujifilm files and the ergonomics of these great little cameras.

@GarethDanks 4 года назад

theyre so nice to use! apart from the battery i couldnt be happier! the sony tracks far better tho!

@annegoodall7268 4 года назад

I use the front function button on the XT-2 to bring up the histogram graphs (red, green, blue and luminosity), they are much bigger and you can easily toggle them on or off to check that you are not clipping anything.

@GarethDanks 4 года назад

ah yeah, nice! but the x100f wont do that.. all my cameras tend to be set up the same :-)

@omarbarriga690 4 года назад

I use the front function button as my auto focus button, operated with my middle finger. Much more comfortable for me (X-H1, large hands)

@GarethDanks 4 года назад

yes its funny how many others seem to! interesting!! not sure i could get use to that!.. tho its like a trigger button there then :-)

@GarethDanks 4 года назад

just had a go with that!! its actually nice!! like it! :-)

@omarbarriga690 4 года назад

Just to add a little more background... I'm a recent convert to back button focusing. I love the idea of decoupling the focus function from the shutter. However, I found that I regularly had to pull the camera away from my eye to find the focus button with my thumb. Therefore, I never really developed muscle memory. The front button is so close to my middle finger that I don't have to search for it. Now I'll have to find a function to assign to the AF-L button. ;-)

@tomblackshire4600 Год назад

Such an amazing and informative video, thank you so much for putting this together.

@lefthandright01 4 года назад

Have a try at setting the exp comp dial to C. Then assign the exp comp to the front command wheel. It will give to +/- 5 stops now instead of 3. It is easy to adjust on the fly, as you already have fingers around the shutter button. It maybe more intuitive than adjusting ISO.

@GarethDanks 4 года назад

i do mate.. when i started my street journey thats how i was shooting.. hence the comp dial being on c in the vid.. i dont like the exposure changing as i move the camera around as it would in auto iso.. prefer it fixed :-)

@barrycohen311 4 года назад

I have an X100T, X-T20 and X-T2. What is nice about the X100T, is it has a sound "kill switch." The 'Silent Mode' option. I'm surprised Fuji did not add this simple yet useful option in the other models. Oh welly well, I do as you do, and manually shut off all the sounds.

@GarethDanks 4 года назад

yes mate! thats a strange one! especially as the old x30 i had did it too! ah well.. as long as its easy to do its ok :-)

@TheKeithKlub 4 года назад

I use the button on the front (that you use for image preview) for toggling between 2 and 10 second timer. It's been great for me! Great video!

@GarethDanks 4 года назад

ah thats a new one! you use that a lot then?

@TheKeithKlub 4 года назад

Gareth Danks I actually do. My problem is anytime I’m setting up a long exposure or a tripod shot I constantly forget to set the timer up and have to dig in the menus for it. I haven’t had that issue since I set it up this way. I’m diggin’ it!

@MS5 4 года назад

One thing I find incredibly frustrating about the Fuji Auto ISO setting is that the camera overrides the minimum shutter speed, so often when there's low light that it becomes pointless. I wish there was a way of hard locking an actual minimum.

@jxcreativedesign 4 года назад

MS you can set the Shutter Dial to your preferred minimum - that locks the shutter speed to the amount, while Auto ISO works around that number

@andreadecarlo4930 4 года назад

You can underexpose, let iso and shutter in automatic mode then "play" with the exposure dial till you get your wanted shutter speed.

@GarethDanks 4 года назад

unless its a mostly white scene which will leave you with a 3 stop under exposed image..

@andreadecarlo4930 4 года назад

@@GarethDanks yes on day light or bright situations ... But then you don't have to underexpose since the auto iso will not push the shutter under the presetted limit...

The information and presentation was excellent, covered all the essentials. I have not done much street photography, but I think I generally follow what you suggested except for making my camera completely silent, including the light. Never considered that but will do that from now on, probably set up a program mode for it. Happy that you emphasized the backbitten focus. Always surprised how many photographers will not do that. Thanks for sharing.

@oursvista 4 года назад

Would be great if you could make a video on zone focus

@michaelmcgrath9190 4 года назад

Thought back button focus 1 press still locked focus when front button switched to ‘c’. You have to keep the back button pressed for continuous focus on ‘c’. So you have both available, fix focus 1 press stays locked, continuous focus by keeping the button pressed.

@GarethDanks 4 года назад

It does indeed but my af mode is on a different setting to afc. I like the very small focus point in Mf and sf. Small squares area in afc.. hope that makes sense. I have tried your way tho. 😊👍🏻

@jackdeangelis6585 4 года назад

I have actually turned the small histogram OFF and assigned the rgb histogram to a function button (XT-2). With this setup I can turn the larger rgb histogram on whenever I need it and turn it off when I don't. I find the larger rgb histogram to be much more useful than the small "default" one especially when setting exposure.

@GarethDanks 4 года назад

Good idea mate. I wish you could do the same but with a normal brightness histogram. Not a fan of the rgb one. Thanks mate

Or should I go for a Prime Lens ? Which one would be ideal for Streetphotography and daily shooting purpose ? I'm having very little knowledge about Lenses so I badly need your guidance 🙏

@OneCameraOneLens 4 года назад

I'm constantly on the move in street photography, so back button focus is a no go (and I dislike it anyway). I love using Acros+R, Astia and a Kodachrome recipe I tweaked. I always use a prime (25mm 1.8, 50mm 1.4 or the XF27 2.8), the 25/27mm being my favourite as literally what I see with my eyes is what I get.

Good video. Just learning the awesome XT3 and there are some good ideas here for me. I have been using the front button for face detect on/off. BUT when I walk around carrying the XT3 on a wrist strap I find when I lift the camera for shooting that button has been triggered by my middle finger - maybe that's a result of the smaller grip of the Fuji. I've jumped ship from Nikon and my fingers need a bit of retraining.

Great video - I've recently switched to the XT3 so this was good timing, and I've set it up fairly similarly actually. I love back button focus too but am using the middle (rotary) dial for focus as I find my thumb rests on it more easily. And I'm still using Auto ISO for everything except landscape shots, I may try your method for a change though :)

@iainmc9859 4 года назад

Wow, that was a lot of information. I'd be even more impressed if you did that in one take. I think I only noticed one cut. Since shooting film there's no surprise you've started simplifying your shooting. Talking of simply shooting during the Vietnam War the American jets (Sabres), although technically superior were being shot down at a very uneven ratio by the simpler, technically inferior, Russian provided (Migs), Vietnamese ones. Eventually the American pilots started turning off all the confusing guidance and targeting systems and simply got visual contact, caught up with the enemy in the faster Sabre jets, fired a quick burst with heavy cannon at point blank range before the Vietnamese could evade in the more maneuverable Migs... and left quickly. Suddenly the ratio's turned around. The moral for shooting street photography is: sneak in, hit them with your best shot and get out quick.

@GarethDanks 4 года назад

haha i did actually.. the cut you prob noticed was me forgetting to mention auto iso and having to add that bit in lol.. i find it frustrating doing more than one take and i fall apart having to repeat myself, so yeah always one take.. haha. love that analogy! ill remember that!! and yes it does relate!! thanks mate!! love that comment :-)

Hey man thanks so much for the comment. Depending on the lens you’re going to use. Quality wise there isn’t much in it. Ergonomically I’m not a fan of Sony. I used to have the a6000. You will definitely enjoy using the Fuji more. And in my opinion the colours are far better. If you shoot black-and-white definitely Fuji.

Great video. Can you do a video sometime on back button focus, with some in the street examples? I find it rather confusing. Also, if I have my camera set up for that, does it mess up my focus settings for when I do my landscape photography?

@GarethDanks 4 года назад

Sure mate. I’ve done one I’ll send you a link 👍🏻😊

I have the XT-2 and I find the settings incredibly complicated and fiddly to change. There terminology is also arcane. However for the front button I find DOF preview is best, but then I am a landscaper.

@GarethDanks 4 года назад

great idea.. just set that on mine to see how it reacts.. never used dof preview before.. i see why you like it..

Great detailed run through! I do a similar thing with my jpegs, but mainly to ensure I don't go overboard with my raw edits (I export my raw edits into the same folder and compare side by side). I find it strange that you'd prefer shooting manual ISO over auto ISO with a minimum shutter speed. How often are you shooting polar bears in the street? :D Doesn't the raw file give you enough latitude to fine-tune exposure? My X-T20 doesn't have the ISO dial anyway, so maybe that's why I'm such a fan of auto ISO!

@Nico-ux7wr 3 года назад

Might be a year late, but if you still use the X-T20 you can edit the front or back dial to change your ISO

@MrJed_s 3 года назад

@@Nico-ux7wr I moved from Fuji to m43 about 6 months ago, but thanks for the note all the same! Even if I had an ISO dial I probably wouldn't use it, I'm not a film photographer so the idea using gain/ISO as an input parameter seems very illogical to me.

@TimberGeek 4 года назад

I do wish I had a dedicated ISO dial.

@GarethDanks 4 года назад

most cameras have a rear dial, can you set it to that?

@TimberGeek 4 года назад

@@GarethDanks It does work that way in Aperture priority but in manual it's the shutter speed and I have to hold down an ISO button most of the way down on the back left to 'shift' the function. Invariably when I try it without looking I get the button above it switching my camera from RAW to some flavor of JPG as I spin the dial. But since I've pretty much killed my old manual 70-150 I should see if I can reassign the F1 (top front right button) from manual lens selection to ISO or maybe I can shuffle spot metering there and put ISO in the DoF button.

Amazes me why people think they can do a better job stuffing around with raw images compared to what Fujifilm simulations produce. A company with decades of experience, legacy films and professionals who have created multiple iterations of these cameras ... but no, an amateur photographer can do it better.
