Awesome video. Thank you. I’d like to see more on setting up and saving recipes and is it possible to retain the stock recipes as one bank and the customized bank separately so in effect 14 recipes will be available. Do you know?

Fire!❤

This... this is a phenomenal explanation video. Thank you.

Thanks for the video!! I was getting desperate trying to do it by myself, impossible. I feel like a pro after watch your video

Very nice approach from a non gimbal user. Cheers from Brazil!

That was an excellent video presentation. Thank you so very much. 😊

Outstanding! Best explanation of auto ISO settings. Thank you sooo much - your settings cleared things up for me.

I've never heard of this method, and I've been shooting for like 5 years now. Really great video, thank you!

Jay, very well done. Great info. Thank you.

You just made my camera like 200% more usable for me. I have been so frustrated by the command dial settings and didn't know I had to set the Shutter ring to "T" and the ISO ring to "C". It's been driving me up the wall since I got the camera a few days ago. You sir are a true gem.

Thank you for this video! I'm learning :)) 13:48 hahaha I love this part

I can't make my front dial aperture to work any suggestions?

This really cleared all the clutter in my brain even though I already went thru the trifecta of settings so many times in my head. Thanks!

The best, no nonsense, explanation of these modes I have seen. Many thanks.

Are we not able to lower the shutter speed to create those blurry motion videos then? 😢

Richard here..That was a fantastic and easily absorbed video..Thanks so much..Cheers

Love your videos, so glad I found this channel

Hi Jay! Looking forward to the content!

Hi Jay! Nice and well balanced video! ❤ I have no serious issues with my x-T1/2/4 but I create mostly stills and use often MF lenses or compose for my art pictures the focus manually. But for further videos I preordered the X-M5. 🎉 Take care! 😊

Safe and happy travelling Jay!

Have a great time! Anzen'na tabi o. Looking forward to your videos. 👍

Great shots

Can you post the link here ?

Thanks a lot! I love the BW! Greetz from Germany .

Why on earth would anyone buy an APSC camera with a crippled AF system when there are full frame cameras out there with superior IQ & FF for similar money.

Take your time, and take care of yourself :)

Personally the fact that Fujifilm innovates is one of the things that attracts me to their brand. I'm also one that is very excited about the XM 5 as I'm currently shooting on the xa7 and love that camera for its compactness

Just fyi, your video camera was not focusing on the coffee bag which took up 2/3 of the screen and was there for at least 10 seconds, ????

I can never trust Fuji again disappointment after disappointment with them. Fuji is beyond pathetic and they should sell their camera division just like Olympus did, health care is their main business fuji is broken company has no vision for the future.

💯 agree - whenever I see Fuji rumours talk about a new camera, just makes me think that Fuji would do better to save their resources for fixing their software issues or even just manufacturing the cameras they’ve already released and people have pre-ordered and are waiting for. With the new X-series cameras now over $2k AUD, they’re now in the same price range as entry level or older Full frame cameras with better specs and bigger lens selections, so they can’t keep coasting on just their film simulations and cult following for long. I recently got a Panasonic S5ii for photo and it’s been great, so that’s cool that you got an S5iix. Hope your personal challenges are temporary and you can have more time doing fun things 👍

I recently traded all my Fuji gear for Sony. It's so liberating when you can fully trust the AF-C while working commercially. I think if Fuji doesn't react soon, they'll probably lose a lot of customers who want to use Fuji commercially. Whether photographers or videographers.I hope Fuji listens to you. ;)

Love your honesty Jay. Good move to look after yourself. Best wishes.

Fuji TX-3 digital pls. Gimme that digital Xpan or I will cry.

I’ve come across several Fujifilm critique videos and it feels like the majority have a misconception about Fujifilm. Fujifilm’s imaging division (Instax + X Series + GFX) is a footnote in Fujifilm’s annual gross and net revenue. Instax alone is almost DOUBLE the combined revenue of Fujifilm X-Series + GFX). Fujifilm’s main source of income is in the medical and cosmetic field. If you download some of Fujifilm’s income pie charts, their imaging division is an almost non-existent slice. The CEO of Fujifilm has stated that their imaging division is a legacy of Fujifilm’s history. That’s the only reason it exists today. This does not excuse Fujifilm’s AF issues but Fujifilm is a victim of their own success. Given its lack of importance to the growth and profitability of Fujifilm, I doubt the imaging division’s R&D budget, employees, or dedicated manufacturing changes year over year. The fact that Fujifilm cameras have become a popular brand to the Canon/Nikon/Sony beast has actually hurt them. The only company who runs their photographic division similar to Fujifilm is Ricoh, whose camera division is also not the main driver of the company’s growth or finances. From the interviews I’ve seen of Fujifilm’s Imaging employees, they all seem to be VERY passionate about photography but they simply don’t have the resources in proportion to their user base and cameras to be supported. And from a business standpoint there is little reason for Fujifilm to invest MORE into what is becoming an increasingly niche market of enthusiasts.

Great stuff man, always enjoy your content. I hope it's not gone for too long, but I know what it's like having to prioritise personal life and other stuff. Maybe I'll run into you again on the streets of Sydney 😁 Or, if you're interested to have a chat for my channel sometime let me know!

I never found you rambling. What you said really hits home with most of us, and I really appreciate that. Now, I never use video. Photography is my bag and what I love about Fuji is the way their cameras resemble the old film cameras. I love how I can control my settings without having to go into the menu every time (once I set up the menu to what I need). Nothing can compare to Fuji's in-camera filters, for example, when I shoot b&w, I can easily choose green, yellow, red filter. And of course some of Fuji's lenses are amazing. I can't contribute to my opinion on the apps because I don't use them, but IMHO, Fuji could improve on their autofocus/face tracking up to the point where they're equal with Sony. I enjoyed this Jay. Thanks for speaking up. 👍

It seems like quality control of their cameras after the X100V went south fast. You cheapen down the quality of the product and then move it to a communist country to build your product it’s not going to go the best. I’m happy I kept the 100v but I won’t be spending anymore money into Fuji for the foreseeable future. My Olympus/OMS cameras have been exemplary for the last 16 years. I mean I can use WiFi to download raw and 4k video. But not Fuji in 2024. So instead of the next x100 I got the Nikon ZF and that’s an amazing camera. But still can’t use WiFi to download 4k. And only 115 raw photos at a time. Otherwise just an amazing camera for manual lenses that gives Leica a run for their money.

Ich arbeite mit Fuji X-T4 & X-H2s; Themen zu Fujifilm sind immer interessant✅ Hier in Europa, ich lebe in Österreich, hört man von Fujifilm relativ, oder sehr wenig; LEIDER. In Europa wird Canon & Nikon & Sony auf Teufel komm heraus beworben; diese Firmen haben ein hohes Werbetat. Das Firmware-Problem wird sich lösen; siehe „pal2tech“ Schöne Grüße 🙋

What do you think about the current state of Fujifilm and their current trajectory? I curious to see how they shift moving into their next generation of cameras.

That's pretty good 👌🏼

I'm confused by the upload date and the title, so these are future settings.

i think your summation nailed the lens’ use case!

It is very enlightening to hear your commentary ie thoughts and goals as you take photos. I have an M4 with a Voigtlander 35/25 for general, 'deliberate' photography and have recently bought a X100V, primarily because I want to learn how to recognise and capture good street scenes. This is why I find your commentary so useful.

Great review Jay. I agree, sometimes you just want to have fun with a lens, and I think this is a good example of that. 👍

Hi Jay just subscribed. Here in Aust prices are still crazy for the x100v, however back in April I bought a slightly used almost mint x100f via Facebook. Luv it! I am mainly a Canon shooter but always come back to my Fuji for taking "my photos" !! Luv your different aspects of this camera that is not picked up elsewhere.

Thank you Jay! You're my copilot when it comes to the Fujifilm X100V :)

Brilliant! Thank you!

Hi. I am new and learning about fuji film stimulations. I wanted to know that , if filmed using a film stimulation does the video record in raw format and only shows the look on the camera or also records video with the look of film stimulation?

I use Af C by model work with my XT 5

Love this shot shown at four seconds in, the reflected sun with the guy holding a white thing in his hand. Banger.
