This guys energy is really something else. I am just getting into photography and this guy will be the reason I buy a FujiFilm camera.

@alexbenvenuto4172 8 месяцев назад

I love your back focus method on manual focus. I just upgraded from a x-pro1 to a pro2 and finally I was able to figure out how to set it on this camera. I’m sure I will experiment it soon. Thank you and keep up the good work. You are the #1 Fujiman!

@harshavardhan5238 2 года назад

Pal2tech you are simply the best at whatever you do. Keep it up!! And congratulations on the award!! 💯

@alicksasylum 2 года назад

Another great video. I've messed with BBF but wasnt very confident with it but, after watching this video I will definitely be using it. Always look forward to you videos your the 'go to man' for Fujifilm. Keep up the great content and enjoy your hiatus.

@fwfeo 2 года назад

Have fun on your time off! I'm using those settings for real estate photography, because when you take multiple shots with different exposures for room and windows, you need the focus and camera position to be identical for the window pull in Photoshop!

@gerardozavala9788 Год назад

Yes, I agree! Please Fuji send Chris ALL THE GEAR , watching him, made me buy your XH 2. Now I am trying to figure up how to use it through his videos. Thank you Pal2tech.

@alexandershirokov175 2 года назад

Amazing stream! I did not know about the appointed focus button, I used half-press with an offset like on my old Canon camera. And thank you so much for the video with a review of your favorite lenses, I bought the Fuji 90mm F2 and I'm extremely happy!

@juancarlosguzman2827 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing back button focus tip. I will adopted, great video as always

@Teddy-ne3gd 2 года назад

Greetings from Germany. Awesome video, thanks a lot. I put back button focus to my front button (Fn2 on X-T3) using my middle finger. It works fine.

@mikec1851 2 года назад

Hey Chris Really enjoy your training style, energy and the topics you cover. I might try this back button focus option on my X-S10 if it is possible. I have the 16-55mm f/2.8 and agree with you that it is like 4 primes in one lens, I love it. All the best from Sydney, Australia

@mikenovello3888 2 года назад

This was hugely helpful. thank you. I am fairly new to the system and had not figured out focus lock and the best part about using this technique is I get the benefit of focus peaking as well so I can real time see i my image is sharp. Now that I can lock a subject and continously see how sharp it is. Just a huge leap forward and will save me MANY wasted shots.

@Bronzatto 2 года назад

ok Chris, this is awesome! another great content… could not expect less from you. thx a million

@dougnelson423 2 года назад

Chris, great tutorial on back button. focus. I didn't care for the AF ON as it is a little small and sometimes hard to find. But now, using the rear command dial is awesome. Thanks for all your great tutorials, very helpful indeed. I just switched over from the Canon R5 and have not regretted the move.

@HinesInSight Год назад

I loved the live show here Chris! I can tell you love what you’re doing! I’ve had Nikon cameras my whole life (since 1977) and got into the Fuji xt4 last year. Great camera system but I’m finding it hard to learn it all. But you’ve helped me considerably through your channel here! Thanks! Still gotta learn more and keep experimenting with what you’re teaching.

@hildebrand142 7 месяцев назад

me too, a lifetime of nikon and switched to fuji xh2 recently. yikes! you're right . . . LOT to learn.

@mcyavel1 2 года назад

Ii's really a very, very good bargain!! Hello from Switzerland, and thank you for this focus way!! Your site is for me the first and the one in photography technic. Me and my X-T4 are very satisfied....

@RobiDee 2 года назад

Another great tip with the paltotech back button focus setting, set it up on both my xt3 and XT30, thanks 👍

@tracymarshallproductions898 2 года назад

Excellent! Very comprehensive!

@mgscheue 11 месяцев назад

Very nice! My X-T5 arrives in two days. I've always liked to decouple the AF from the shutter button on my Nikons so I'll definitely be doing that.

Hello nice video... I bought a 16-80mm in 2019 and it is one of my favorites, and most used lenses.. it came as a kit lens with the X-T4

@timnightingale4325 2 года назад

Chris, thanks for the back button focus tutorial. Very good. I think even I got it, so everyone else must have. I know you have done this before, but a vid on focusing for wildlife would be hugely helpful. I love my XT-3 but birds in flight is a disaster for me. Am sure it my set up. Help urgently needed! Thanks Pal.

@jeaninedc11 Год назад

The AF-On customization looks like a winner! I sometimes have conflicts between where I want to focus on and which part of the scene I want to expose for (I am usually on aperture priority mode). This trick should make it easier to fix that. As for the 16-55mm lens, it is a great lens for sure. I just wish it were a big smaller and lighter, because it's a bit of a beast.

@Festvangelist 2 года назад

Excellent Fuji content on your channel. I own the X S10. The X S10 does not offer the front focus mode dial so 1 option is to activate the Manuel Focus mode and depress the AF ON button to get an auto focus lock. The location of the AF button is perfect for me. Also the rear dial on the XS10 does not activate if you try depressing it…only rotate. In addition I have the red highlight outline of the areas in focus activated, my eyesight is not great ( seriously poor ) so manual focus is too hard for me. I like continuous focus ( although I generally I use SF-S ) because it does exhaust the battery faster than it would say on the on X T4.

@mennoschot5447 2 года назад

I found that another great method to focus is to use autofocus and keep either the shutter or the af-on button pressed while adjusting the focus manually (x-s10 but probabably also on the other models). Rgrds Menno

@wat2349 2 года назад

Another great video. I really like your 2nd method utilizing the AF-M option as it is so easy to switch back to AF-S and auto focus mode on shutter half press. However I find that I can use the already- assigned AF-On function button rather than having to assign a separate function button as when I press the shutter the Shutter AF automatically has no effect. Certainly that is the case on the X-S10.

@Garethcostan Год назад

Hey could you explain this to me im struggling, also got the x-s10

@keithsr. 2 года назад

Another great video!

@marcratner9477 Год назад

I have an X-T4 with the 16-80mm lens. I never zoom during a shot as it looks cheesy to me (like a ‘70s TV show), so any ‘wobble’ is a non-issue. But…the lens is a bit hefty for my taste. I chose FujiFilm/APSC to keep my gear small and light. I hear the 16-55 is a top-notch lens but it’s significantly larger still, so not an option. I might adopt the 18-55 ‘kit’ as a solution for everyday use.

@madhatter42o 2 года назад

Love your channel throughly. How would this technique work in continuous shooting. I do bird photography and try to refine my focusing skills. I almost worry i almost over focus sometimes and so it's not easy to focus when there's a background or the focus skips off the bird into the Grey sky.

@greggharris9002 Год назад

I usually focus like you do. Just got xt5. It did not seem to allow me to pick subject / bird/ etc when I switched to manual focus. DId you find this as well.

@LeslieBigos 2 года назад

I think I might have some conflict with another setting. I assigned my rear command dial as in this video. When in S mode, when I press the command dial, it does an AFL (auto focus lock). But in M mode, the rear command dial does nothing. Any ideas for me?

@NJM1948 2 года назад

Got to this late!! but great video. The newer? 16-80mm is awesome. I have it on one of my Fuji's constantly. Only had it a few months so maybe the newer production is better? I also don't do video so can't comment on that side

@Josh-xe6pq 7 месяцев назад

Hey Chris! I had a similar warning message with a second-hand 10-24. I sent it to Fuji but the repair quote was pretty high compared to what I got the lens for - so I got a 9mm manual lens instead. I was wondering if you received a explanation about the error and what could’ve caused it?

@armandomorales5857 Год назад

nice trick! thanks !

@matchesder 2 года назад

Hi Pal, I tried your idea to focus with the Lever in M. The regular AF-On button is doing the same thing you’re promoting. Did I miss something? Or is just a preference to have the function on the dial rather than the button next to it?

@elenaivanova624 11 месяцев назад

@FLORAMORAITINI 2 года назад

Good morning from Stuttgart. I have my first fuji camera, and need plenty of help for settings. Hope they work for XH2S. Thank you

Brilliant as usual. and don't forget Belgium, please... ! ;) :) :p

@samson40a 2 года назад

On my XT2 if I use manual focus I can just press the af on and get back button continuous focusing. Used to use it all the time on my Nikon but find it more difficult on Fuji.

@fergusbuchanan5615 2 года назад

Great livestream - only caught it near end but since watched it after the event. Many thanks - you got me into Fuji system some time ago now. Hope you get to review the upcoming Tamron lens when it is available. Best Regards Fergus Buchanan

@harryknapp6418 2 года назад

but what about in video mode, do we have options for video shooting without moving the camera via a finger stab ?

@thinkdee_ Год назад

Chris when i set the playback at the front button just as you suggested, if i click the same button again it won’t go back to live mode. How can i go back to live mode without having to click the playback button again at the back.

@pawankumartodi1064 2 года назад

I want to know what do you do incase you want continuous focus. Do I have to change the manual focus button to C or there is any other way out. I would feel obliged if you can clarify it.

@adryrojas7113 Год назад

Hello there from Mexicali Mexico 👋

@happyamericandude 2 года назад

I love this but wondering if it works the same with Fuji lenses with a clutch? I have the 23 and the 16. So, trying it with my 16 1.4 I have to have the clutch released and the button set to M to actually be in manual mode. At that point I push the AF button (as assigned) and it does not work. I have to lock the clutch again to get the AF to work. Am I doing something wrong or is this just a function of the lenses with the clutch? Thanks!!!!

@musabbirchowdhury6678 2 года назад

Pal pls suggest be a best Type c to Type a cable for my fujifilm xt4.

@loyaldavis 3 месяца назад

What if you assign the AF-L button AF Lock Only, wouldn't that lock the focus in the same way?

@edi18912 Год назад

Hi I have an xt3 and I have a video focusing question I want to be able to Use touch to focus while recording video but when in manual mode it wont let me. When I change focusing to S mode I can touch to fucus while recoding but cant see any focus peaking I want to be able to use Focus peaking and touch to focus while recording in 1 mode, how can I achieve this? Thank you

@hepgeoff 2 года назад

I like back button focus for certain situations. But shooting an air show with fast moving jets this last weekend wasn't one of those situations. I used continuous focusing and shutter button focus instead. Question: When do you think Fuji will fix their terrible app?

@joao.s.cardoso 2 года назад

I use the same technic for back button focusing. Just be aware that when you do this while on MF the focus area configuration is limited. You don’t have as many options as when in AF. Have you noticed that ? Not that it makes a difference for me.

@williamlee7782 2 года назад

Followed instructions and can't get mine to back button focus. Turned on/off, batteries out and back. Not sure if it's because I have the latest firmware. Reverting back to default settings, (AF-S on, rear dial back to focus check), only when shooting at Manual focus photo, the AF-L would serve as back button focus. Been going through tutorials and it seems that the X-T3 doesn't always activate new settings. I follow tutorials here on RU-vid and assign buttons, etc and then use it with fail at times such as this tutorial. Later in the day when nothing had changed on my end, the new settings function the way it's programmed. My X-T3 appears to be moody.
