For an experienced photographer/videographer - PASM is probably not a big deal. As a newbie, I went from a Canon 7D to my Fuji X-T2 so I could focus on the Exposure triangle/square without having to hut my head against the wall trying to learn the menus at the same time. As a tactile-kinesthetic learner, the Fuji X-T dials are a godsend.

@luxdalet Год назад

Agreed! Even if you want to use the custom modes, you can assign the custom mode switching the Q Menu, and all of their custom names are displayed.

@arildthingvoll5967 6 месяцев назад

I have to say It again: You are the best educator! Amazing video!!

@iShaymus Год назад

The benefits of the PASM dial are the C settings rather than the dial itself IMO. Once a photographer gets their head around the exposure triangle it doesn't really matter how that is controlled. Being able to switch instantly between a bunch of preset modes (kids, studio, sports, indoor venue, outdoor venue etc.) is extremely beneficial.

@rodneytopor1846 Год назад

I agree with this comment. Moreover, the absence of physical dials (X-H and X-S models) allows (or should allow, I don't actually have such a camera) elements of the exposure triangle, exposure compensation, drive modes, focus modes, and more to be included in custom setting packages, whereas they cannot be included in custom setting packages in cameras with physical dials and levers (X-T models).

@iShaymus Год назад

@@rodneytopor1846 the XT series of camera have a movie silent mode which allows all of the settings to be set from the screen regardless of what the physical dials are set to. So it is possible, they just don’t want to.

@1gmoore2 Год назад

I bought the H2 two days ago for several reasons not the least of which in the 40MP and better auto focus. I gave my XT3 to my adult daughter that enjoys photography and I'm planning to sell my XT4. I know it may sound like anathema to many but the PASM dial seems to make sense to me and while I know there is a learning curve to the new system. I think that most of if not all of the changes I was able to make with the triangle of dials on the XT4 can be made quickly with the wheels and function buttons on the H2. Of course all of this is made easier because I have you as my online mentor. You are more than worth the few $$ for your monthly subscription -- a laborer is worthy his hire.

@fadiheterjag Год назад

Honestly it’s not so much the PSAM slots as much as it’s the C1-C7 that I would be using in this case. This is something I’ve long since been trying to find a good way to do on my X-T3 (in vain, kinda), to be able to change any and all settings on my camera with just one flick of a dial. Going for a studio shoot? That’s C1, that means exposure preview off, white balance set to a specific kelvin, etc, no need to go into any menus as all. During the shoot I want to take a break and shoot B-roll? Just switch to another Custom mode and I’m set without having to worry about messing up my settings when it’s time to get back to shooting pictures. I think that’s incredibly powerful, and the reason why a manual focus mode switch makes no sense on the X-H2(s). It’s a totally different paradigm in how to set up the camera which honestly can’t be done on older X-T models.

@benejpocock 26 дней назад

Another great video, and will be especially useful for those new to PASM dials. Even as somebody that has shot with PASM cameras for ages, I knew I'd learn something by watching this (the red dot indicating changes have not been saved). I'm really glad you mentioned disabling 'auto update changes'. IMO that should be disabled as standard. When I hired an X-H2 before committing to one, I got caught out by that and missed a load of shots at event I was shooting as my shutter speed got auto-saved when I'd slowed it down for one particular shot, and then I forgot. Now, with it disabled, I can adjust settings for a particular shot, and then know I can quickly flick from one custom mode to another and back again and it resets me to what I'm expecting!

@CWReace Год назад

FWIW, I decided to reprogram the movie record button to instead toggle exposure compensation on/off (the "M>+/-" option). For me, that means (a) I don't accidentally start recording video, and (b) I can then use a dial for exposure compensation when in full Manual mode but using auto-ISO (which I like to do for bird photography). Hope that might be useful to anyone else new to the X-H2(S) world. 🙂

@karlbratby4349 Год назад

Very useful, I was led to believe that exp comp in manual mode using auto iso was not possible on Fuji cameras unlike it is on my Sony and previous canon…. When my xh2s arrives I will try to find this setting you mention but could not find this option on my 2 week loan/trial. Makes sense when have aperture ring on camera as have a spare dial

@dangerpig Год назад

X-S10! Finally, a Fuji camera for the rest of us! Not overly complicated and skipping the retro manual dials for those of us more used to other cameras like Sony. I guess having all those customizable buttons and knobs is okay if you only shoot with one camera or only similar Fuji cameras, but if you have other cameras and once in a while pick up the Fuji it is sure easy to forget where the heck you buried that one setting that you are looking for! I love the PASM.

@Indydi Год назад

That's why you name your custom modes. But I agree that it is complicated.

The moment I saw the XH2S have 7 video/photo independent custom modes, I rejoiced. It's been my most favourite feature since the rumours first mentioned them. Couple this with Fuji's feature of setting back ups to a computer (maybe to smartphone will be the next evolution), it's something I can't live without.

@allenschneider1847 Год назад

Outstanding video and explanation. I think having the pasm dial with the aperture ring on the lense is a wonderful balance of modern and "old style" controls. I wish others (Sony and olympus) would adopt this approach.

@karlbratby4349 Год назад

My Sony A9ll has pasm dial and GM lenses have the aperture ring. I think Fuji offer a better custom dial setup than Sony but Sony do the aperture ring better, with it being de-clickable for video. I have both and both are great just different

Thanks for the explanation! Since I started learning photography on the X-T30 and X100V, I learned through experimenting with the dedicated dials. Using the PASM dial was such a foreign concept to me, even though I was still using a Fuji camera (my friend's X-A3). This helped me understand better, even though I still would rather have the dedicated dials for everything.

Awesome video Chris! But it became very clear to me too that the overall concept of the PASM dial doesn't match with the way my brain works and thus it was the right decision to refrain from buying the GFX50SII. I won't use a camera a lot when there is another one (the X-T4) that just feels very genuine and natural to me. Still keeping my hopes up for a GFX50RII some day...

Extremely clear and detailed video, Chris! The custom names issue in photo vs video feels like a bug, but there's probably some fundamental reason within the system causing this odd behavior. On another note, while I absolutely love my X-T3 and its dials, my next camera will have the PASM controls ; the custom modes can really save some critical time during a shoot.

Pretty valuable video for me. I just bought a X-S10 as an alternative to my X-T30. And I have to admit I did not yet accustom myself to the PASM Dial operation. The changing dial functions feel unintuitive. The video helped understand it better. And maybe have more joy with IBIS and the nice grip. Apart from that the X-S10 does also pretty well as a facecam, so I might keep it anyway.

I am sort of disappointed on a couple of the x-t5 features like the 3 tilt screen, and may have to make the move to this camera.

@kaankurdoglu Год назад

As a former Canon user, I really love dedicated dials on X-T3. But also miss C modes on Canon. I use my X-T3 for general photography and bird photography. When photographing birds, I switch some settings for flying and not flying ones. To do this I need to change focus mode, focus point/zone and drive mode settings quickly. But I can't do it on X-T3 fast enough. Dedicated dials + Custom mode switches would be better for my taste :)

@JenniferKlinger Год назад

You have more C modes on a X-T3 as on every Canon camera. I have to look what the actual number is, but it must be 9 or even more. You can program for anything you want and save the settings and even rename your C‘s.

@kaankurdoglu Год назад

X-T3 has 7 custom settings. But we cannot assign focus or drive mode setting there as I remember. We can add af mode to Q menu, but we need to change it individually. So we are not able to arrange like, C1 has point af + continuous low drive, C2 has zone focus + continuous high etc.

@bardofhighrenown Год назад

As someone who learned photography on an X-T3. I always found PASM dials convoluted and it makes me nervous about whether or not I'd like the X-H2/s. Thanks for decrypting that for me! The custom modes might just sell it for me, it's so frustrating switching from stills to video and back on my X-T3 and having to spend so much time in menus setting everything back up

@davegarth Год назад

Great video as expected, Chris. I appear to be an outlier here, but I don’t think the PASM dial vs. control knobs controversy is that big a deal. I use both an X-S10 and an X-T4 and I don’t find it difficult to go from one to the other. Both control systems have their strengths and weaknesses. I just wish you had done this very informative video when the X-S10 came out so I would have had an easier time learning Fuji’s PASM implementation. It’s very different from the Nikon PASM implementation that I used for decades.

@trowawayacc Год назад

Yep, they are esentially the same. I do hope fuji decides ro update the q menu functionality to do this.

@johnvienna3422 Год назад

Great, Chris, thanks. You've inspired me to set up the C1 to C4 on my X-S10 now. Still getting my head round the PASM/PSAM/SPAM dial though. Sometimes I think it makes sense, then sometimes I think 🤔 why would any camera need the extra step of such a dial? Either way, it's there, so we need to embrace it if we want to use certain Fuji cameras now.

@MarkHolmes1 Год назад

Instead of having filters on the selection dial, Fuji could have had a PASMF set up, where F operated like a traditional Fuji set up to operate with front and rear dials. Clickable front and rear dials would have made that work better naturally. Then users moving between bodies could have familiar set up and maintain the Fuji approach to selection of aperture, shutter priority etc. A mid way measure that could better serve some of their users, and help muscle memory for those moving between different bodies. Think filters could happily be slightly less accessible. :)

@GregCarrick Год назад

As a student in the 70's I learned photography using dedicated dials on the Olympus OM system. Then wth digital cameras I was using Nikons with PASM dials as a photojournalist. Then when Fujifilm brought back to us dedicated dials I jumped to them straight away and love it. I have tried the Fuji X-S10 but it was a joyless experience, so got rid of it. I've just bought a 2nd hand GFX 50R as it has dials and looks like Fujifilm have now swapped to PASM on their new medium formats. There's no right or wrong, just go with what suits you, and Fujifilm are the only brand out there giving users a choice.

@williamaungleyraud Год назад

True, but for how long? 🫲🙄🫱 The X-T line is last line with manual dials, the X-T00 double digit no longer exists replaced by the X-S line with pasm, and the X-T000 triple digit has not gotten a new camera in ages. I mean with got the X-T30II, but it was definitely an odd ball. 🤔

@GregCarrick Год назад

@@williamaungleyraud With the X-T5 the line seems to be safe for a few years yet. The X100 and X-Pro's are keeping the dials as well. So you have three lines aimed at photographers, and the rest for people who also want some serious video. Despite the nice Fujifilm colour science and film sims, if they were all PASM dials there would be nothing attracting me to them.

It would be cool if the custom name would show up in the viewfinder also, i wish Fuji made little metal (or plastic) discs that screw/attach onto the top of the PASM dial or the shutter dial on the XT-3 that you could get engraved and put custom names on the c-1 to c7 and also in case of teh xt-3 or xt-4 it could allow a user who was more video focused to effectivley change the dial to be easily readable custom VIDEO settings instead of the shutter speed which would be used less for video shooter A bit like how phones have custom cases it would be bring personalization to the look of the camera PLUS the benefit of being able to read the settings without remembering the c1 to c7 etc. I

@tugatomskanimation6370 Год назад

I know this may come off as a rant, but all I wanted and a Fuji system that enabled me to zoom in and out during video without the exposure and focus wobble that doesn't happen with other brands.

@louiseingram4297 Год назад

Thank you! I had somehow managed to set my C1 before seeing this but have been getting confused on how to do it so this is very helpful. I also set my WB button to recall C1 which is a very useful way to quickly recall a much-used setting. If anyone's unsure how to do this: under the spanner menu, button/dial setting, function setting, pick your button and choose c1 for the selection. I do have a question re custom buttons - is there any way to program a button on the right side of the camera to bring up the drive mode menu? With a big lens it is awkward to reach over to the default button to do this. Thanks!

@mjmdiver1137 Год назад

Amazing that computers have turned something as simple as the exposure triangle into a process so complicated that you effectively need a flow chart to resolve how the device is going to act. No PASM for me, thanks. I'm intellegent enough to do it on my own and it is more intuative and direct. It does require a bit more active interaction on my part, but that's part of why I do photography anyway. I'm perfectly happy at times to put my camea into P mode (or A or S), but I prefer to run all things manually most of the time so I can be deliberate in what I am actually having the camera do. That said, I really enjoy your videos and I'm sure many people learn a lot through them, as I do.

Before switching to Fujifilm two years ago, I had been shooting Canon EOS since 1988, first analog, later digital. The way they worked with the PASM-dial was very intuitive. Still, it was the dedicated dials on the Fuji that re-ignited my love for photography. So I’m on the fence… (Actually, there was briefly a Sony between the Canons and the Fujis. Again PASM-based, but completely unintuitive. I didn’t like it at all.)

I switched from xt-* and was concerned I would miss the dials . I didn’t . Very happy with the h2s

I've gone back and forth between PASM on Canon and Sony, and the retro dials on Fuji, but honestly I think the manual dials are where it's at for me. Having to mindlessly scroll through a bunch of shutter speeds to get to the one you want, then just missing it by a bit so you have to scroll back up, not before setting your camera to the right mode of course! It's so much simpler to chill in aperture prio with the classic Fuji dials, then when you NEED a specific shutter I can just look down, set it real quick, and bam, I'm in full control over my aperture on the lens AND shutter on the camera - all without changing modes and without fumbling! Want your ISO to be locked for a sec, turn the knob! It's so intuitive that I can't help but feel a little sad to see cameras I would love to buy getting shafted into the 'cool, but not for me' category because of the shift up. Fujifilm was the one camera brand giving users a choice on the matter in the sea of PASM cameras and it was their one stand-out feature. PASM takes the joy out of photography for me, just a tad haha 😭

This. I want the xh2s autofocus and 26mp stacked sensor. But darn…. Where is the xt5s?!!

To be honest, throughout my photography journey since 2015, I've never gone out of Full Manual and now anything else seems like learning curve i don't want to get into unless absolutely necessary. (This isn't a flex, I'm just a bit lazy to invest the time.)

Thank you for this very helpful video. I am almost ready to switch to pasm. Unfortunately, XT5 is too photo-centric.

Great and informative video. A couple notes: 1) For the most part, I think "auto update custom settings" should be ENABLED other than when you're setting up the camera for the first time. When disabled, the camera will not remember a change in your exposure setting after the camera is turned off which can be annoying depending on how you're using the custom settings. If you're like me, you turn the camera off frequently to save battery life. So for example, let's say I have a custom setting for shooting wildlife in Manual exposure mode and I frequently change my shutter speed / aperture based on the subject and lighting. I want the camera to remember the fact that I changed shutter speed to 1/500s to 1/2000s (after turning the camera off), while still maintaining the other settings specific to shooting wildlife. However, I will say that some might use their custom settings differently and may want/need unchanging exposure settings. 2) You cannot use exposure compensation in Manual exposure mode UNLESS you assign a function button to exposure compensation override. I have the Fn button on the top-right-rear of the camera assigned to exposure compensation override, since I mostly use Manual exposure mode with auto ISO.

Good points. 👍

It took me a day or two to realize the dedicated record button 😂. Going from XT4 to the XH2 has been very exciting has there is way more customization with the dials dedicated C functions.

@Mr7Poz Год назад

Great video as always, the diehards are turned off by it, but I really like the highly customizable nature of this PASM dial. As I love the XH1, I will have to give this one a shot eventually.

@timnightingale4325 Год назад

Very good Chris, but my head hurts and for those of us who find this stuff challenging (especially coming from an XT-3), I am going to have to watch this a few times.

@Domino0441 Год назад

It would be great to see yours C1-C7 settings.

@charlesellenberger8067 Год назад

I use X-H1's for my business, and I just got the new H2 and tested it today. I must admit I will have to work with it for a while because for me it isn't as intuitive as my H1 with its analog dials. I feel like I'm back with Canon again. Right now I wish they had stuck with the H-1 layout. I'll probably have to sell my H1's so I don't get confused when it counts.

@edc5338 Год назад

Coming from Nikon, I love the PASM dial on my X-S10.

@vincentkeith5259 Год назад

I would suggest that you start assigning Stills with Custom-1 and count up, Moves start with 7 and move down. That way you keep the two types grouped.

@Paul_Rohde Год назад

Save the trees! Plan out out on a spreadsheet! Really, it's easier to swap/edit plans around as thoughts come.

@ianwebster1143 Год назад

Excellent video Chris, I will try the settings for C1 to C7 now. Also, have you noticed that the automatic selection for mechanical and electronic shutter doesn’t work with firmware 1.01 on XH2 40mp, on my old trusted XT3 whilst using f1 on the 50mm lens outside in sunlight it switched to electronic shutter when shutter speeds exceeded the mechanical shutter, this doesn’t work on the XH2 and remains in mechanical hence over exposure of images.

I actually prefer PASM as I can see all changes via the EVF. This is after 15 years with Nikon's DSLRs and then coming to an X-pro3. The only annoying part of PASM (to me) was the dial assignment would change according to whether in A or S, so it never became muscle memory on my Nikon DSLR, nor could I lock assignment. If I can lock each dial to a certain function independent of mode, I'd be happy to go for an X-H2.
