Fujifilm Camera Aperture - 12 Creative TIPS!

[@lumilikha]

Oh. THERE'S the pizza. 😂

[@MegaLolStorm]

Thought the same! it finally appears!

[@JuztPixelz]

I got nervous as soon as I saw that pizza, lol!

As a teacher I appreciate your ability to provide concrete examples that demonstrate the theory. I don't know if it has been a conscious effort on your part or a natural evolution of your time doing this gig, but I really think you have slowed down your speech while presenting here. It makes a big difference. I remember it being something I worked on as a teacher over the years. Thanks for the info, have a great Sunday!

[@pal2tech]

Hey Charlie! Thank you and I'm glad you noticed! Yeah, I'm working really hard on that. 99% because, interestingly, a huge number of the audience has English as a 2nd language, and if I slow down a bit, they can better follow along. It's finding the right tempo -- both in the studio and even more importantly in Editing - that's always the challenge. Don't hesitate to let me know anytime if you see something that can be improved and I appreciate your feedback!! 🙏

[@charliejg]

@@pal2tech Cool!! One thing we don't realize as speakers sometimes is that we need to pause and give listeners time to process what we just said before saying more. It makes a huge difference. Question: I've been limping along with the Fuji Raw Converter since they deprecated Express. Well, I just had a birthday and my family bought me a C1 license. Where do you recommend I start with tutorials? What are your feelings about catalogue vs. session? Thanks again for everything!

[@ThePhotographyRebuttal]

Just me but I thought his speech pace was fine.

[@muratkocak84]

@@pal2tech I understand when you speak slowly because my English is bad :) Thank you for creating content with this in mind.

[@charliejg]

@@ThePhotographyRebuttal Yes, but if you go back in time a year or more it was faster.

[@ChrisC1377]

I learned the techniques of photography with you and you are certainly one of the best in the field of learning ... Many thanks!

[@pal2tech]

Thank you Chris! I really appreciate the support my friend!! Cheers!! 🙏

[@bce.gatien]

Best video in a while. Very energetic editing in the first minute. Good tips for the rest of the video. This is a good balance.

[@tschoeppeli]

Always love your videos, they inspire me to be more creative. Thanks a lot and have a nice week. Take care!

[@popicavlad]

Great video Chris! Thanks for all the work you put in!

[@TheDOS]

Great job, these are my favorite type of your videos (and I like most all the other ones too :)

[@gregpantelides1355]

I love these kinds of art videos, Chris!

[@ytpoolmy]

As always love the photography tutorials. Thats why we are here!

[@dan.allen.digital]

Great intro Video Chris. I am sure this will help a lot of new photographers.

[@kathealy60]

One of your best videos in a long time. While I am not a beginner any longer - I did find the content to be very valuable, well executed and very patient, measured and calm.

[@pal2tech]

Thank you so much Kathy! That means a lot to me.

[@IgnacioFlores.]

More videos like this plz! I love how you exemplify and simplify things

[@BoltonClaudia]

Thank you! I love your educational videos using the Fuji system.

[@ajblitzstein7628]

Another excellent video, Chris! I had forgotten about the half shutter showing you the DOP. 😌👍

[@kennethnielsen3864]

Hi Chris, thanks for sharing another great, informative and entertaining video.

[@pal2tech]

Thank you so much!! 🙏

[@el0blaino]

Nice demonstration of the tips!

[@mrjoerizk]

Useful and informative. Thanks for the video!

[@pal2tech]

Thank you!

[@marcheathrow8930]

Very professionally explained.Im not new to photo but i still learned a lot from this and reminded me of how Dof works,thank you.

[@giorgospentezidis2071]

Entertaining as always and the kind of videos I like...informative and creative. Thank you 🙏

[@ahkautz]

Great video. Informative and entertaining. We just got back from California and every time I pulled out my X-T3, I could hear your voice giving me tips.

[@videobyredjade]

Awesome, as always. Thank you

[@SensibleChuckle]

@Pal2Tech I love your educational videos.-- you're in your element. It would be great to see some in depth film sim creation, except not necessarily or specifically for simulation but rather to have more creative control and get as close to color grading as possible, as well as how to best manage these and get batches on camera as needed per the shooting conditions for the day. Love your videos.

[@joenowak2881]

Good tips. Thanks as always!

[@blaaaksheephomestead]

I had PLENTY to do this Sunday.... But learning from you is ALWAYS a priority 💯 Thank you, you're the best FUJIFILM teacher ever bro

[@pal2tech]

Wow, thanks!

[@chris5706]

Amazing. I thought I knew all this but you presented a couple of concepts in a way I never thought of before. I finally understand the reverse pinhole effect is why DoF is narrower with larger fl. 👍

[@galijanach]

I love your content very much. Thank you

[@JackieDElia]

Excellent tutorial, Chris!

[@pal2tech]

Thanks Jackie!! 👍

[@AlexMcDermott]

Loved this video!!!!!

[@benjaminb5889]

Thank you for the inspiration 😊

[@demonsaint1296]

I stopped getting your videos on my feed for a long while and lost interest in photography. Why? Got to get back to it. Outstanding video and have a lot of catching up. Thank you.

[@markdenney4938]

Thank you.

[@stevegalante]

Great tips ! Sorry for the off-topic, but the latest rumors about a never-seen-before Fuji sensor made me think about a possible subject for one of your next videos... my question is : how can we see, judge and edit a photo made on a 20, 24, 26 or even 40, 50 or 100 Mp sensor when our monitors (at best) only show 8 Mp (4k) ? Not considering the case of cropping of course, where you are basically reducing the sensor size 😁

[@Kit2Canada]

Nice topic - although it’s possibly rhetorical - I think there are a few things to consider before we tackle the mega-pixel discussion. One being end use i.e. are the images being printed in a publication or significantly enlarged for presentation. On the other hand, is the camera is being used for personal use - so it might be a weight issue - smaller camera/systems are infinitely easier to carry around. Everything is a compromise. Speaking of which, how much money is a person prepared to spend on the whole system of lenses etc. So on and so forth……

[@stephsieben6137]

Hello! Do the same rules apply to depth of field (focal length and distance from subject) with a zoom lens as you explained using prime lenses? Thanks so much!

[@cokeandtwirl]

Well, this was a journey! So, yeah, this is easy stuff I already know…….ok, that was interesting I kinda knew that, I think…….wait, what did he just say?………oh I see, great……..now I will have to rewind that and pay more attention………wow, I definitely did not know that. Beautifully explained with humour as usual!

[@JeanMildu]

I like your vidéo ifiund it very instructive . I will progress on photography knowledge but also in american language. Great thanks from south of France

[@TimvanderLeeuw]

Oh, so now we finally see how a lens ended up in the pizza! 😂 Nice video! Good photography tips.

[@georges64]

Very interestiing

[@grandpascuba]

Starburst effect - The number of points in the star is equal to the number of blades in the aperture diaphram of the lens.

[@fabiom55]

Hi Chris, A question for you. I have a Fujifilm X-S20 and I would like to use it like this: -A priority -f11 and focus using DOF -Fixed shutter speed at 1/250 -Free ISO up to 12,800 How can I adjust the camera menu? Thanks Fabio

[@Carlos_AM]

Cool.

[@norimaspace]

Hahahaha double like for the final part of the video!! 😂😇

[@donaldmilne5352]

Might get more views if you just called this "Camera Aperture - 12 Creative TIPS!" as (other than the cameras), this is general stuff and it is well presented and explained.

[@RandyPollock]

The two YTers I would not let borrow a lens is pal2tech and Omar G. LOL

[@number6705]

I find the menu system on my X-T5 way confusing. They’ve overblown it. For the life of me, I can’t find the “Preview Depth of Field”. Can anyone help?

[@olasek7972]

I think Fuji’s menu system is (for me) simpler and easier to navigate than other brands. This exact item you are looking for doesn’t exist, at least in such wording, if you want to see your depth of field 1. You have to be in manual focus mode 2. Your “MF ASSIST” should be set to “FOCUS PEAK HIGHLIGHT” which will show you through the shimmering effect where your depth of field is. But since there are two different standards of what constitutes depth of field you have to select which one you want. If you are looking for some old fashion depth of field tape/band it isn’t here.

[@number6705]

@@olasek7972 Thanks. The depth of field function I’m looking for I found, on an Internet forum - It’s a “hidden” function. This is NOT the shutter hold down 1/2 way.

[@tcarlson06]

I’ve never heard of the ratio with aperture. That would have been very helpful for me early on. Where was this video a couple years ago! lol! Thanks I love your channel.

[@SeanC1959]

Ahhh the depth of detail that you go into is fantastic. I've gleaned so much great information from your videos over the years, which has really given me a much deeper understanding of my Fuji cameras. (X-T3, X-Pro1). Thank you Chris, regards Sean.

[@anilmali9438]

👍❤️🙏

[@01d7im3R]

♥

[@jayzn1931]

Would have been fair to mention that you cropped in on the 23mm at 11:00 as well, as this is misrepresenting DOF. If you would have gotten closer and chose the same composition, the background blur would be basically the same. I get that you wanted to show the difference if the distance is the same though. Btw, why did you obliterate that poor lens in the Pizza?

[@carte-noire]

Great time to order pizza )))

[@jamesrobinson3663]

So…if I buy a used Fuji in lens from KEH and and it smells like pizza, I’ll know why 😂

[@VST1254]

Not entertaining, but very helpful tips!

[@benjamindejonge3624]

The everlasting dilemma, the choice on to make a tasty shot

[@number6705]

Somehow, in following this video, I somehow permanently locked my viewmode in LCD mode, can’t get it back to EVF? It’s continuously lit…time to sell this brand-new camera I think

[@jayzn1931]

There is a button on the right side of the EVF, which usually says "viewmode". Press that a couple times until the camera behaves the way you want. No need to sell the camera. Edit: typo

[@pal2tech]

like @jayzn1931 says, try that. Also, when you are pressing that button, make sure you are looking through the EVF. I may actually make a video on this one!

[@tonyelsom]

This is called user error, selling and buying another brand of camera will not fix this.

[@olasek7972]

You might benefit from either reading the manual or ordering one of those in-depth video courses devoted to this camera.

[@number6705]

@@olasek7972 I found the function I’m looking for on an internet forum. A dedicated depth of field function is classified as “hidden”. And I’m not referring to holding the shutter button down 1/2 way either.

[@DigiDriftZone]

I sold all of my Fuji gear recently (moved to Sony), but one thing I miss is the tactile feel of the Fuji f/2 primes, if only they didn't have the awful focus breathing, terrible autofocus and had more background blur!

[@olasek7972]

No problems with autofocus in my Fuji system

[@DigiDriftZone]

@@olasek7972 for photos it's not so bad, but for video, it's not good.

[@Pacman1ac]

Did you really put the lens on that pizza?

[@nevvanclarke9225]

I hope that pizza doesn't get on the camera ha ha
