160 Days with the Fuji X100VI

[@akshu10]

Great video! As a fellow x100VI user, its always good to listen to others prespective on the use of it!

[@blasepivovar]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed

[@pranamsk]

Not another typical X100 series video. Lovely presentation and beautiful pictures bro, keep creating these! Love you work! Been following your work since long time👊🏽❤️

[@blasepivovar]

ah thanks so much man. really appreciate you letting me know!

[@corbyn]

I had the same frustration with the exposure dial and did a little digging. In movie mode you can turn all the dials off including exposure dial. I believe it is called MOVIE OPTIMIZED CONTROL ON/OFF under Movie Settings List. I'm not sure if you can do the same in photo mode, but it would be nice to be able to lock it.

[@blasepivovar]

I'll check it out. Thanks for the tip

[@mapal]

Just put in an order for one and obviously had to look up some videos way pre-maturely on the camera. Watched a few of yours and they're great. Love the images you've been getting out of it. Massive bonus points for being in KC. Gotta support local lol

[@blasepivovar]

Hey thanks so much! You live in KC?

[@mapal]

@@blasepivovar Closer to central Missouri but not too far away!

[@blasepivovar]

@@mapal ah dope!

[@thememoryguardians]

the video footage of the fire is gorgeous! great video

[@blasepivovar]

thank you!

[@tju550]

Super dope video, really like the voice over while showing footage and photos from the camera itself. Can I get an ID on the strap for the Fuji, it's the first strap that I've seen that I actually like.

[@blasepivovar]

thank you! the strap is just the one from fuji that came with the camera. just made it real short

[@itspaavo]

Great video! I have some issues with the ND filter cause for me in flog2 it's often too bright when setting up e.g 25fps//50SS and use for example f4. How do you set up your video ? Looks great :)

[@blasepivovar]

Thanks! I break the rules and just bump up the shutter if needed to get everything exposed correctly

[@brooktaw]

The most useful X100vi video I have come across. Thanks very much.

[@blasepivovar]

@@brooktaw glad to hear that 🤘🏽

[@abandonbourbon]

Will def need those Meadow presets to match the LUTs, I love using those. Also glad to finally see someone who is into video mainly talk about this camera.

[@blasepivovar]

glad to hear it! Yeah some folks have asked about photo presets and stoked to finally have some I am completely happy with. So fun to have the video specs packed into this tiny cam

[@oc2phish07]

Well now, that was a very refreshing and interesting video. I have had my X100VI for about three weeks now so have been looking at how other people have been getting on with theirs. I liked the camera-related content in your presentation but also I love seeing images and video of places I have never been to, but would like to, such as Copenhagen and Malmo. Also, it was great to see what a wonderful rapport you have with the young lady in your video, your lovely wife I assume, who seemed so relaxed and happy to be with you and in your shots. Great stuff. 👍

[@blasepivovar]

Thanks for the encouragement. CPH was indeed beautiful!

[@feelsgoodkoi4185]

Awesome video and colors! Would love to watch a breakdown of your filimg settings and your coloring. there isnt much like this on youtube. :) cheers and earned a sub

[@feelsgoodkoi4185]

oh jsut saw u uploaded it. thank you man!

[@blasepivovar]

Glad to hear that. All of those videos are here on my channel yes :)

Haven’t even hit play yet and I’m so excited to watch this

[@blasepivovar]

Ahhh dude hope you guys are well!!

[@benjaminhedegaard8528]

Nah you were in my country! Love the shots of Denmark buddy. Keep up the awesome work. Truly inspiring.

[@blasepivovar]

thank you! denmark was truly beautiful

[@jordanlmiller]

amazing video and brother your colors are amazing! I'm a newb at color grading, gotta grab your LUTS!

[@blasepivovar]

thank you. appreciate the support

[@Otmaneeeeeee]

Fuji is great, I like it

[@blasepivovar]

same 🙏🏽

[@litehour]

what effect are you using that exposes the photo slowly. i really like it. lovely review by the way! hoping to pick one up soon

[@blasepivovar]

thank you! haha it is actually just a white solid placed on the track above that fades out

[@rafsnchz]

Great video as usual. You mentioned that you are shooting photos with your own Classic Chrome recipe, do you as well edit JPEG files or RAW files only? Talking about photos only here.

[@blasepivovar]

Thanks! All these photos were shot in jpeg and edited with my presets only tweaking exposure and white balance as needed

[@RayneWeddingFilms]

How are you this good??? WOW!

[@blasepivovar]

thanks so much

[@CalebMcLellan]

Fantastic. Great photos, Blase! Fuji just needs to ramp up production! lol

[@blasepivovar]

They really do!

[@JulianPapis]

Heyoo, I really love the video the transition video that you use behind your text (3:38). Is it yours, or it can be found somewhere? 😊

[@blasepivovar]

thanks so much! it is mine but not currently for sale. i do want to sell a visuals / transition pack one day!

[@AshBash_Shot_That]

I’d love to know what focus mode you use when doing video! This is my first Fuji and I just don’t get it.. I watched a set up guide and they recommended setting it to multi but when I hit record I don’t see anything I can switch or anything to press to aim at what I want to record.. so it’s kinda of a free for all and I’m just letting it do what it does. Also that quick record I have set up too but like you you can’t adjust focus again plus i don’t get how to adjust the settings for how it comes out it doesn’t matter what I change it stays the same

[@blasepivovar]

@@AshBash_Shot_That i’ll go over all that in my settings video coming soon. until then, never use the multi mode. always area and use the box :)

[@blasepivovar]

@@AshBash_Shot_That but yes, unfortunately nothing you can when using the quick record function as i talked about / showed in this video :)

[@chrisbrockhurst]

Great video

[@blasepivovar]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@kbstabs5982]

Nice video. Switching still image to video is just one click by scrolling up.

[@blasepivovar]

@@kbstabs5982 yep 🫡

[@janvier1618]

top notch presentation

[@blasepivovar]

@@janvier1618 thank you

[@SimplestUsername]

In my opinion, all exposure comp dials should have locking mechanisms. That dial has ruined so many photos on my A7 III.

[@SimplestUsername]

Personally, I'd rather have no exposure comp dial than a non-locking dial.

[@blasepivovar]

@@SimplestUsername a little button on top to lock it would be dope

[@omantastic]

At least you can lock it within the settings but should have manual way to lock as well

[@npage1028]

Damn, got lucky with the preorder. I, with no regrets, was ordering st 1 AM lol

[@blasepivovar]

haha dang yeah you were on it

[@QueenDavidCreative]

How did you color grade the 100vi video?

[@blasepivovar]

just my luts and film fx. several videos about my color grading process here on the channel :)

it's been 260 waiting my camera LOL

[@blasepivovar]

ugh ☹ cmon fuji

[@T-Prime848]

Well you want to enjoy the Fuji vibes Grab an old XE-1 or XPro 1 and i guarantee you that you will enjoy the experience way more than the one you got with the latest X100IV …

[@blasepivovar]

How so?

[@T-Prime848]

@@blasepivovar with these cameras you will get the first Fuji x trans sensor And this one has its own unique look Plus that these cameras makes you think more than twice before taking any shot because both cameras are slow and you don’t get too much features like the X100IV Capturing shots with these cameras brings a joy I know that the new X100 IV is an amazing camera but some how it’s easy to use it with an old Fuji camera you will feel different and it’s worth to try it out Thank you…

[@blasepivovar]

@@T-Prime848 ah yeah i feel. what about video? that is actually the primary reason i finally decided to buy an X100 series camera. them improving the quality to the level of the XT5 with Flog 2, ND, IBIS, 4K, 10bit 422 is crazy to have in my pocket and I don't feel like I have to sacrifice quality.

[@T-Prime848]

@@blasepivovar I agree but sometimes quality is not everything ..

We need fujifilm xs20 review

[@blasepivovar]

haha i don't own one but my buddy John made one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHzXmXyEfbF0bLM

[@youfollow_]

@@blasepivovar I'm more concern about your point of view, I've seen his already.

[@blasepivovar]

I agree with pretty much everything there. For me, the lack of dual card slots takes it out of a camera I would use for paid professional work as it’s just not worth the risk for me at this point in my career. That said, as someone who used the XT3 extensively when I was starting out, I think the xs20 serves a similar market but now has all the added features as a bonus. Hope that helps!

[@youfollow_]

@@blasepivovar thank you but essentially starting video business over so start fujifilm brand. I want the xh2s first but ill.use xs20 instead until then I'll buy xh2s. Prefer xh2s for stack sensor but xs20 will do. Baby mini xh2s

idk why but you give me Mr.Rogers vibes

[@panimala]

Great video, but the white fade-in for the photos is dog shit when you are watching the video in the dark, flash bang central

[@blasepivovar]

ope yeah not ideal to be viewing this in the dark
