I've never really considered the Interlock Spot AE/AF function, but it makes perfect sense. Thanks so much!

[@nickjessel7759]

Thanks for the tip about the interlock Spot AE/AF. I’d been shooting and exposing without that setting engaged! Love those high contrast images!

[@ChrisOrange]

pleasure - it should make a big difference to your images with that switched on. Cheers!

[@fandangofandango2022]

Dear Sir, Wonderful and Constructive thank You.

[@ChrisOrange]

Pleasure - thanks!

[@paulasimson4939]

Super helpful Chris - thanks! I've never heard anyone explain the different metering modes so well.

[@alicksasylum]

Check out pal2tech, his video is on par with this one.

[@SeanC1959]

Thanks Chris for the heads up.

[@desmondpainter7313]

Thanks. Super useful.

[@kennethnielsen3864]

Thanks for sharing.

[@Elements795]

Another great video Chris. I’ve only had my X-T1 a short time and hope your guidance on settings will help me achieve better results! I’m going to London tomorrow to take some photographs so 🤞👍

[@ObservingBeauty]

Thanks

Metering modes used to matter a lot on SLR and Rangefinder cameras. However with today's mirrorless EVF cameras it matters much less. It still matters somewhat if you are using the automatic exposure modes but I tend to shoot full manual and use the preview and the histogram to get the intended exposure. I leave my camera on the multi setting about 95% of the time. Occasionally on my X100V I will use only the OVF and turn off the histogram. Then I am forced to use the actual camera meter. When I do that I tend to like to use the center weighted setting but remember I am still shooting in full manual. I use some of the techniques outlined in Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson. It is an old book but much of the techniques still apply. Thanks for sharing.

[@marksnellingphotography]

Ah the good old days of Fujifilm when they made photography simple with the metering modes on a collar.

[@prathusharma3406]

Hi there you are a wonderful teacher & I have learnt lots from you, I am carrying a Fujifilm XT4 camera and after seeing your video on "Metering Modes of Fujifilm Cameras" I have offed the face /eye detections in settings, but still metering mode (PHOTOMETRY) is unselect able, can you please guide me what further settings I should check on this .

[@didilachman6300]

Hi could you write which lens are you using in this movie on the xt1?thanks

[@klb430]

Hey Chris! I have an X-E1, can't seem to find interlock. Do you know if it's called something else in those menus or maybe just not a feature in my camera? Thanks!

[@ChrisOrange]

Hi there, I've just had a read through the X-E1 manual online (as I no longer have an X-E1) and it doesn't mention the interlock. I think it must have been something they brought in with the next gen of cameras, starting with the X-T1 and X-E2.

[@charliejg]

In a landscape image would you typically focus with spot metering and meter the highlights?

[@ChrisOrange]

yeah, that's what I do every time.

[@charliejg]

@@ChrisOrange Thanks! So many things to learn! :-) But, it's fun doing so. I use an XT-3 and it's been quite a lot of fun. One thing I should really do is to carry a notebook and write down what I practice and learn through trial and error since I don't shoot every day. The mind slips! LOL! Have a great weekend.....

[@JeDxDeVu]

What bass you rockin

[@ChrisOrange]

it belongs to my wife. It's an acoustic bass - sounds lovely.

[@snoogly]

XT1 only has average metering, and not multi. I think … Oh, my mistake, it’s center weighted it lacks. It has both average and multi.
