Thanks Booray for the x100V setup tips. I watched many X100V setup videos , and your made the most sense. I appreciate you doing this for all the x100 shooters. Enjoy your site and all the great video tips and techniques.

This video is a superb "here's what I do first" video. But the important parts are your detailed rationales for WHY you're doing each of those 7 things. Bravo! Now I'm a Subscriber! And I will check out your podcast as well!

Thanks!

[@TheZenBeePgh]

Thank you for this! I just bought the x100v and appreciate the professional tips & tricks to using it properly right out of the gate. Planning on using it when I go to Europe next month and to Iceland in October. Can’t wait to see what the photos look like. 😁👍🏼

[@jeanmorgan2477]

You were so very helpful! I took photography as part of my commercial art degree forty-five years ago, but with children, work and life in general I rarely used (had a Minolta film camera which I love(d). Anyway, you made this so very easy and at 63 I’m ready to try my hand at it. Will definitely keep you on my “watch” list! Thank you again!

[@craigcarlson4022]

Booray, Here with my brand spanken' new X100V (switching from an X-T20) and am following along with all your recommendations. Like you, this is going to be my 'fun' camera, so am with you on opting for jpegs and color profiles. Will check out your video on button set up next. Then, on to plugging in some new film simulations. Thanks a bunch for all these videos.

[@BoorayPerry]

Thanks Craig! You are going to love it. It will be a big adjustment switching from a camera with variable focal lengths but for me that's just been part of the fun. 😁📷

[@jimwlouavl]

Good tips. Thanks. I set the top function button to Raw. When I find a scene I plan to edit, I make a Raw; otherwise, I use it as a family trip camera so JPEGs are fine.

[@BoorayPerry]

I like that idea

[@aaronteohimyang]

I find the tips and advices really useful !! cheers

[@markcasebeer8273]

Booray, I love the way you explained how you setup auto ISO using the 100v. I also watched the full ISO video using the F version. I've always liked using auto ISO and on the 100 series, it even makes more sense. You just want to take pictures! I can say that in the past I've struggled at times with auto ISO, and the reason, a lot of people want to limit noise so they set the high limits to a lower number, maybe something like 1600. Well in theory this sounds great, but the problem is the camera always tries to get the correct exposure and if it has to it will go below your lowest set shutter speed setting. This is why your setting of 12,600 is so important and I think it's really the key to using auto ISO. Thanks for all the work on the 100 series camera.

[@BoorayPerry]

Exactly. :)

[@adnanzaidi3571]

Thank you that was helpful

[@dentReviews]

the main reason not to use lossless raw is many applications can't edit it. uncompressed is more compatible and much faster editing.

I usually set the ovf/evf display settings to be sure that only shutter speed. ISO, aperture and focusing distance scale show. Another screen can show other settings if I need them

Touch screen mode should be set to "area" imho. Place the area of af with right thumb then take the picture with the shutter button.

[@craigcarlson4022]

Booray or other readers - Can anyone advise on if it's possible to have the front or rear control wheels changed to adjust my aperture settings? Also, I was getting tripped up repeatedly by the AF mode on the rear LCD constantly shifting to all sorts of weird settings. In Ken Rockwell's "Users Guide for the Fuji X100V" (on his website, not his KZbin channel) he has a really helpful video imbedded in the Users Guide that shows how to make the changes in the LCD's behavior. I found it super helpful.

[@BoorayPerry]

I checked the custom button choices and it doesn't look like either one will allow you to adjust your aperture.

[@craigcarlson4022]

@@BoorayPerry thanks, that’s how it seemed to me as well. It seems you can turn the front dial into a sort of program mode (a combo/hydraulic of aperture and aperture). But when i tried that it doesn’t actually show you your aperture setting in the evf or lcd.

[@arcadian91007]

Booray, I have the 100T, the 100F, and was anxiously waiting for the XPro-3, so I can use a longer lens. And just before I went to clunk down $2,000 to get the XPro-3, the XT-4 came out, that stopped me on my track, now I'm not sure if I still want to get the Pro-3, or I will just go for the XT-4. And now 100V? I'm standing here with my money in the pocket and totally lost...

[@arcadian91007]

@@BoorayPerry Oh I hear you, I will never let go of my 100F. I'm just very anxious to have an interchangeable lens body. It seems that if I have a longer portrait lens, XT-4 may balance out better than the Xpro. But I came from film SLR, and I'm in love with composing thru the OVF, really don't want to give that up for a 100% EVF... It feels like you're in a submarine, no windows, electronic imagery only. stuffy almost.... So...I don't know, Fuji sure made it very difficult, haha...

Thank you

[@davidcoulson5229]

Agree with your point about a protector filter being an extra piece of glass in front of the lense. Do you think when just that is installed the inherent beauty of the camera is compromised or that it takes away from the way the camera can be used innocuously. Appreciate your opinion.

[@BoorayPerry]

I think it takes away from the best of the camera but there are others who like the look so to each his own. The only reason I use a lens good is so I don't have to keep a cap on it. 😁

[@davidcoulson5229]

@@BoorayPerry thanks, am in a dusty and humid climate so am thinking of installing the lense protector instead of the cap , it doesn't protrude as much as a hood therefore keeps the profile pretty compact. But, as you say will need to clean the glass , c'est la vie

[@BoorayPerry]

@@AaronAnalog1 Yes. All great reasons and there are times I do use a filter but I just don't like having one all the time. This is my third X camera and I haven't scratched a lens yet. :)

[@Hobbyist.Photographer.]

Booray, Help!! So I’ve had the fuji x100v since launch. The auto ISO settings don’t seem to work as expected and I don’t know if it’s something I’m doing wrong. On my auto iso settings I will put it on default sensitivity 160, max sensitivity 12800, and min shutter speed 1/250. However, when I put my aperature to f2, shutter speed on A, and iso on A, in darker situations, the shutter speed will still drop lower than the 1/250 that I set as the minimum. Why is this happening?? Any help would be appreciated!

[@tl2960]

booray, Im planning tp get my very first camera, I'm not really into professional stuff, but I just wanna shoot mainly pictures of my family and street photography, maybe some city landscape for my travelling. Xt3 body is on sale right now for 1350 canadian dollar, regular price was 1800, same as the x100v, should i go with the xt3 or X100v?

[@rolloharte6825]

Pros know that any adjustment in raw is more effective and aesthetically pleasing than that done in JPeg. The X100V rewards Jpeg shooters by offering film simulation options, but shooting raw will always offer the potential for a better finished product. Of course, if you are using the X100V for a break from the usual DSLR shooting and processing drudgery, than shooting in Jpeg is probably the best choice.

[@vinitmalhotra2595]

[@BoorayPerry]

Viewfinder?

[@2e0hpi]

My settings was already active for touch shooting when 1st set up #streetphotographymono Instagram

[@Ali.lensman]

1 thing to do is go and return it and get X-t30, is much better in many ways, smaller, more compact, perfect for traveling and street photography has much better grip, bigger viewfinder, more practical because u can change lenses, not fixed lens! Yes it's not weather sealed but got same sensor and processor as 100v. X-t30 is cheaper even if you add two f2 prime lens to the price.

[@BoorayPerry]

I did a lot of research before I upgraded to the x100v including using the xt30 for a week. It's a fine camera and I actually own one I use it as a backup for my professional gear. I made a video here on my channel comparing the two. Ultimately I decided to stay with the x100v because of quirky features like the leaf shutter and the built-in neutral density filter and just the joy of using the camera. 😁

[@Ali.lensman]

@@BoorayPerry very wise, really great camera no doubt, I am talking price wise. I recently had a test drive for majority of fuji cameras, this camera is ridiculously overpriced for features no body going to use everyday, the nd filter and leaf shutter awesomeness. The ergo and flexibility of this X100 cameras is really disappointing. BTW thanks for ur reply and the video 😊

[@BoorayPerry]

@@Ali.lensman I don't think it is overpriced. An xt-30 with a 23mm f2 lens to match is only $70 cheaper than the X100V. With that you get interchangeable lenses, which is huge, but you lose the leaf shutter which greatly affects flash and the built in ND filter. More importantly, you lose style and that's something that is very important to owners of the x100V. The best comparison I can make is that the Ford Flex SUV with an eco-boost engine is as fast as a Dodge Challenger... but the Dodge Challenger is more fun to drive. :) As I said in one of my videos, if I were only going to own one camera between those two it would be the XT30 for it's versatility. But if I want a second camera for weekend fun? It's the X100V :)

[@Ali.lensman]

@@BoorayPerry I agree, absolute fun 😁 incredible little piece of machine. Here in Moscow, market is different, I can get one x-t30 and two f2 primes or Nikon Z5 with kit for the price of 100v! Of course I'll get the 100v if I can afford it and keep it for specific use, but for now I focus on necessity and spending wisely 😉

Sorry fuji fans but this camera just don't cut it and if anyone thinks it's a professional camera I don't know what professionalism is.
