Fuji X100V AF/MF Settings Menus EXPLAINED 

Thanks Booray. Another great video.

Love the idea of following along, nice way to do it

Really helpful for me and my new X100V camera. I am still working my way through the different menu options. Thanks

Superb set of videos. 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, 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.

finest video booray, with a lot of information and humor. looking forword for the next to come!!!

Another great video! Thank you!

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.

Nice presentation hope you have more to go through on the x100V, thanks.

Thanks! This cleared up several things I've struggled with. Appreciated.

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.

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.

Thanks, nicely done!

Really appreciate your videos!

Excellent Job, Helped me take my run and gun to the next level.

AF Range Limiter is useful for candid street photography. Quick sharp photos if you stick to the pre-set distance.

Best video on RU-vid... Learned all I needed to know 😁👍

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.

Thank you!

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 ?

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.

Hi Booray, I've only just recently got this camera and I'm trawling the RU-vid 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?

Boo, how the heck do you get the rear command dial when pushed in to go to AF modes? Thx.

How do you assign the joystick to move the green focus square button to a specific point in my shot?

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.

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 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

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.

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?

Hey Booray...sure would love a new video.

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)

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..

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.

More focus points is more accurate less is faster

arent these settings same as the F most of them?

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
