Perfect tutorial for me when starting to record video with the X-T30. It covers all the necessary basic settings on the switches and dials in just 10 minutes! Thank you!!

[@khaldounaboualshamat6650]

Can we use this setting for XT200?

[@snaanarchielago7396]

Thank you for video. This is awsome! İ learned a lot

[@tristianherbert6451]

Great video. Thank you! I just wanted to ask if it overheats when linked up to an external recorder? I am planning to do half an hour to 40 minute interviews at a time.

[@robinwatson4282]

Excellent tutorial. I noticed while setting Zebra level (as prescribed here), it is also necessary to actually turn Zebra on, as it appears to be off by default. This might be worth mentioning as I wondered why nothing was happening. Novice here though, so what do I know? Thanks anyway, for a great tutorial, not to mention a perfect video quality (as it should be, I suppose!).

I came looking to find how to use Rode mic with X-T30. I didn't find. Any tips

[@marcebarajas]

Excelente video gracias por la oportacion... podrias por favor decirme porque mi camara cambia de iso constantemente y se ve un desagradable "brinco" de luz en la pantalla de mi camara ? Solo se soluciona si la pongo en modo automatico 😢 Thanks from México

[@luceferous-lucy-michelle]

Thanks for this insanely useful video! One thing I noticed with mine is I can't set the aperture with the lens aperture ring or the front dial? It seems to be exclusively a setting accessible on the touch screen = is it because I am in a specific touch screen mode? Would be nice to use the dials! Seems to work fine if I am in the photo modes, its just video

[@KOBIART]

Hello ! I wanted to know how do I prevent jitter from flickering the screen in movie mode? Fuji xt 30

[@yasaminb8767]

Thank you for the video. I have a question about my xt30 camera. It has only 10 minute time for recording. How can I Chang it to record longer. Thank you

[@WaiYingLam]

There is no way with xt30, you can get a hdmi external recorder if you want to extend the recording time.

[@yasaminb8767]

@@WaiYingLam thank you

[@danieldelatorre7289]

thanks for the video. what's the custom button setting for the AE-L and AE-F I changed mine and now I can't lock or do any of the things you explained.

[@bittechh]

Thankyou for this :)

[@makwee8034]

Great simple tutorial. I have the 18-55mm OIs lens and can't seem to adjust my aperture downwards from F22. Is that the case? Many Tks.

[@WaiYingLam]

hmm, try resetting your camera to factory default. if that does not work, then it might be the lens

[@malajia3919]

I can not figure out for the LIFE OF ME to start recording !!!! I’ve pressed every button!!!

[@CJWareLRPS]

shutter button you use to take photos press that when in video mode

[@tusharsharma5237]

Hi. PL guide me that , for videos, i have 2 options sony zv-1 or fuji xt-30. between them, which is better in terms of video quality point of view ? and which one should i buy ? is xt 30 better ?

[@ChrisFlores22]

Hey 👋🏻 do you have a more in depth video on recording video with the xt30? With manual settings? I’m thinking of getting a Pluto smart trigger to allow me to record longer than 10 mins, have any opinions on that?? Thanks!!

[@unknowndon2115]

When I was watching your video the exposure lock and focus lock worked but when I went outside to try and get some clips and pics It wasn’t working I would press it and wouldn’t lock any it’d just work while I leave my finger holding them

[@sanjivkumar6225]

Nice video. Thanks. I am starting video on XT30 now, after almost using it 1 year :-)

[@WaiYingLam]

Awesome, have fun with it!

[@kisah.nadzwan]

hai. how to turn on green line thing at screen?

[@angelarose1110]

hello! for some reason even when i am not in auto mode i am not given the option to change aperture or shutter speed. it doesn't even show up on the screen. any idea why that may be? thanks so much.

[@rastcheck6037]

Great tutorial!! One question, In Video mode is still visible the exposure meter or is it necessary to use the histogram to expose correctly?

[@Noealz]

Hows tha Osmo Action coming along? I ordered myself a Gimbal from DJI just to be able to stream vertical video for Instagram and Twitter - I really thought I wouldnt get any other gear this year besides possible the rode wireless mic

[@anndroid8734]

awesome explanation, it will be perfect if there is any video sample in the begining as preview

[@dibbitt2361]

Hi, I really enjoyed the video. I was wondering what was wrong with my X-T30 because the White Balanced is grayed out. I can't figure out what settings are preventing this and I've already done a factory reset.

[@WaiYingLam]

im not sure, it must be a dial setting

[@thomasdelattre4663]

Hey why in video mode I can't use the wheels dial ?

[@ytubeleo]

Is there any way to set the camera up to allow recording a movie without rotating the drive dial to Movie mode? The reason is that it really slows me down switching back and forth between S and Movie mode - sometimes several times per minute (travelling, kids, etc.). On my Panasonic M4/3 camera I just hit the record button at any time. I can switch back and forth instantly and one-handed. Thanks.

[@Nailia_Essi]

Hi Way! Thank you for this video it was super informative & helpful. What would you recommend to prolong the filming time in HD over the 15 min overheating mark? Thank you tons for this super helpful setup video. Can't wait to receive my xt30

[@johpi3621]

i dont see the aperture indicator on my display.

[@giuliafuriato8542]

Hi, does anyone know a good sd card for this camera? I have been using some of my old ones but they do not allow me to record long videos. Idk if I am doing something wrong! I would appreciate some tips, thanks!

[@produccionjarocha]

Hello! I want to thank you for your effort to train new users of fuji xt-4, I am using fuji xt-4 for the first time for video, and I cannot find how to control the volume of the audio that enters the camera, that is, if I can observe the volume level on the audio bar on the screen, but I can't turn it up or down on the camera screen, can you help me with that?

[@WaiYingLam]

Felix you can only adjust volume in the video menu and as far as i can tell, you can not adjust them on the back screen.

[@mytravellinfo]

Thank you so so much. The only thing that I missed was changing exposure dial to have detail on my video.

[@cyruspio22]

thanks for the video sir. I just want to know why are my other videos and photos does not appear in my laptop. im using windows 10. I have transferred few videos but the other dont appear in my laptop..Is there specific set up for the camera? thanks once again..

[@WaiYingLam]

You should be able to transfer all files to your PC. Windows might not understand what a raw files is and sometime it doesnt have the codec to run 4k video.

[@marniebearssssss]

Why is my SS and F orange and yours was blue?

[@marcoformalejo7982]

Awesome vid! With the X-T30, can you record DCI 4k video internally or do you need an external recorder through the HDMI?

[@davefk]

Is the minimum ISO for video 400 on the X-T30?

[@jasonchoi7798]

Thank you so much for such a detailed explaination. I just tried recording a short video. I previewed with the xt30 and looked perfect. When i transfer to my cellphone, the video i record looks perfect expect the sound. Do you know why?

[@WaiYingLam]

Sorry Jason, I do not use the video files with my phone. Did you try transfer to a PC and seeing if you get audio?

[@nikenoviana2278]

Hello.. I have a question, do xt-30 camera able to record pc? Thanks before

[@WaiYingLam]

its possible, you would need a device that can accept hdmi in. Like a hdmi to usb capture card

[@andreiboss7323]

Hi,in 4k mode how much can it record?how many minutes?thanks!

[@WaiYingLam]

Thank you for answering the question Tommy

[@r3habai393]

Tnx just bought the camera

[@rswhillscape]

On the 5th option of “View Modem EYE SENSOR + LCD IMAGE DISPLAY, i do not get image display after shoot image??? Do I have to set something up in menu?

[@WaiYingLam]

im not sure, you can try doing a factor reset and they go to that mode and see if that will fix the problem

[@jennywilliams82]

I just received my camera and I don't have camera attachments yet, I was wanting to play around before my attachments came and I can't get a clear picture, do I need the attachments for it to get pictures?

[@WaiYingLam]

Jenny, im not sure attachment you are talking about but you should be able to get a focused picture without a attachment. Do you have the camera set to manual focus?

[@jennywilliams82]

@@WaiYingLam hello, I'm sorry such a newbie at this...it was the lens' i was talking about, all I have is the base.

[@adeleofficial]

Thank you so much this is very informative! For some reason I'm still having issues recording on my XT30 in which whenever I'm recording, it does not last a minute. I'm shooting at a normal frame rate (not 2x,4x at 120fps). Wish you could help me. Thank you again

[@WaiYingLam]

i could be your sd card, i would try a new sd card, a v90 if you are recording in high bit rate

[@Princeton_James]

It is the card. It happend to me. Use a new card with higher write speeds. I also noticed a difference with genuine fuji batteries vs 3rd party.

[@Princeton_James]

Thank you. Does focus lock work on a person's face. I did a school project and it jumped from 1 face to the other.

[@WaiYingLam]

Erik, im not sure to tell you the truth because when I use face detect, it usually only one person.

[@berat_dede_1]

It has overheating problem ?

[@WaiYingLam]

yes, i can overheat, around 30 minutes you will see a warning

[@aliomairi1642]

Hi Wai, I followed your setting, but when I press AE-L and AF-L they appear momentarily on the screen and they disappear, not sure what I am doing wrong?

[@WaiYingLam]

in the Menu, go to the Wrench > BUTTON/DIAL SETTING > on the second screen you can turn it to on/off instead of momentary.

[@THEORISTV]

So if I record 5 minutes videos severally I’ll be fine, and the camera won’t get hot? I plan on shooting adverts and commercials so I don’t think there’s anyway I’ll be recording a video for 10 mins non stop

[@WaiYingLam]

This is a very small camera so it does get hot very quickly. If you want to use it for ads and commercials, i would definitely recommend you do a few test runs before doing a actual job with it. I external video recorder may help with the overheating issues

[@benw2578]

Any necessary accessories or recommendations?

[@WaiYingLam]

The only I can think of is a lavalier mic. When im using it in the studio, i use a lav but for vlogging, i use the built in mic

[@totalrandomtechnolog]

When panning at 1920x1080@30fps, it doesn't seem like 30fps smoothness on my xt30. Is it supposed to be like this or is there something i could do? I'm setting the shutter speed at double frame rate by the way. 60fps looks smooth obviously.

[@WaiYingLam]

are you panning manually with your hands or using a electric motor? If you are doing it manually, i would suggest trying to pan using slow motion at 120fps. It is doing it using a electric motor id double check the motor and maybe do a reset on the camera just to check.

[@Dreamazium]

My camera will only let me record for 10 mins. Any ideas as to why? thanks

[@WaiYingLam]

xt30 has short time limits, that is my design, you will need a external recorder if you want longer record times

[@Dreamazium]

@@WaiYingLam Thanks for letting me know.

[@BadgerBotherer1]

Could you do a tutorial on shooting time-lapses with this camera?

[@lotusthemermaid]

Thank you for this tutorial because I didn't now what the zebra was and it made me feel like I broke my camera.

[@paulandvictoriabach1318]

Ive got a real problem. I have a x-t30. My problem is in manual video mode, I can't control anything. I can't change the aperture, exposure compensation, or shutter speed. I can't change iso unless i go into the Q menu. I have the aperture ring on the lens set on manual. When on picture modes, all the command dials and aperture ring works fine but when I switch to manual video mode, nothing happens when I try to change any of the settings. I'm guessing it's something so simple nobody is covering it in their videos. Anybody's help will be much appreciated!!

[@wikywin]

Hi, have you resolve this issue? I have same problem with you.

[@birdinreality8928]

I can’t get the sound to work while I’m recording, any suggestions

[@WaiYingLam]

I would say first try a different mic, if you do not have another one, then try resetting you camera and see if there is any change.

[@birdinreality8928]

Wai Lam I messed around with the settings and I got it to work, thank you

[@1114ilias]

Great video mate. So much hype about the 180 degree shutter rule. Does that concern you too much?

[@WaiYingLam]

for vlogging, not really but if you are looking to do any professional jobs, you need to have the equipment to keep it at that frame rate

[@venuslnd]

Hello, do you think fuji xt30 has better vdo image quality and focus than fuji xt2?

[@WaiYingLam]

The xt30 is definitely better on focus. Its debatable when it comes to video. I would say the xt30 is probably slightly better in video quality.

[@davidbalanr]

how can I record 4k video for more than 10 minutes? is there any possibility.

[@WaiYingLam]

You will have to use a external recorder like the Atomos Ninja V 5"

[@arielardhisubagyo6388]

How long i can record with this camera?

[@WaiYingLam]

4k is 10 minutes, 1080 is 15 minutes. If you use a external hdmi video recorder, its unlimited

[@harrisonneville2629]

I just tested my X-T30 today, but I couldn't trigger Face Detection and Face Select during recording. The function only works if I trigger it in standby mode and then press record, which defeats the tracking purpose.

[@WaiYingLam]

Yes, I agree, once you start recording you can not turn Face Detect on and off. If that is something you need. Then I would turn off face detect and so with single AF. Half pressing the trigger button will trigger single focus.

[@ImmmheeTV]

Wow^^👍👍👍
