[@oB_Session]

If this channel didn't exist, I would be so lost with my new Fuji camera. Thank you Pal2Tech.

[@pal2tech]

No problem!!

[@jimmychavedo8038]

I have been watching KZbin videos on film making for years. This is the best beginner video I have ever seen. You explain things in a way that us neanderthals can grasp.

[@nparker1894]

Enjoyed your video. Yes, I would like to see more video on how to make videos.

[@admir_]

Same here, me too! Thanks for great work!

[@raymondwynman801]

Same here. Many more. I am only a beginner. Actually, I don’t have a camera yet but very soon. Just starting to learn early.

[@lifeonearth9261]

me too!

[@paulasimson4939]

I finally understand the connection between frame rate and shutter speed - thank you Chris!

[@MikkiYoMikki]

Looking forward to you coming back and keeping us up to date with Fuji tech

[@toddkendall5090]

Your channel is the very best for learning FujiFilm techniques, tips and the added humor and enthusiasm are a bonus. Thanks for your efforts. I am sure these vids take much more time and thought than we can imagine. Thanks!

[@declanodoherty9297]

Please do add more videos. I have been making videos with a dedicated “big” camera and have recently started using my xt3 . I would love to learn how to set it up properly. I did a documentary last year, but winged it and it turned out superb. I do the odd wedding and football game and the difference in my health at the end of the day is remarkable.

[@ecphy]

Please make more videos like this! I learned a lot! I recently brought an X-T30. I'll definitely try these tips 🙌

[@andreak4280]

yes! please make some more fuji video for those wanting to start using more features in our camera! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 greatly appreciated Chris

[@tomwd.2825]

I am amazed every time how mellow and full of information your videos are. I consider to be a experienced photographer but still learn from you each time... especially in the video realm.

[@pal2tech]

Tom!!! Thanks pal!!!!

[@WimBreeman]

Great tips! Changing from videocam to xh2s for me it is very confusing, so much menu choices! This helps a lot! So tips like this for XH2S very welcome!

[@hilayvinzuda7353]

Sir your videos and knowledge are really incredible and easy to understand and that helps me to understand many settings in my fujifilm xt3 that improve my video shooting skill and make me more knowledgeable about my camera thank you very much sir for these amazing knowledgeable videos really appreciate your efforts love from India

[@GPacini68]

Thanks for your hints & tips not only here but all the other vidoes you make. I find your tutorial style vey interesting and straight to the point. Keep up the excellent work..

Greetings from Turkey. I am a fan of yours for quite some time now and you even gave me the courage to start my own photo channel quite recently. I am new in the video world and on a learning curve. I unfortunately sold my 18-55 long ago and aquired a few other lens for still. Would say that the 16-80 is a reliable lens for outdoor shooting on autofocus on xt4 or xs10 Thank you and God bless you my friend

[@iLginFamily]

You have became my mentor. I learn a lot from you, thank you so much for all this effort ! Great content!

[@joopsmiranda9219]

No video comes close to help amateur video shooters than this one. Thank you so much

[@pal2tech]

Joops!!! Thanks man!! I really appreciate the kind words!

[@veeaa]

Fantastic video! Cleared so many basics that were hard to find with Google or on KZbin.

[@thelionsden5771]

Excellent tips ....YES more videos settings for xt4

[@martl522]

Very good stuff you make. Love to hear and see your lessons....please more more more. Your vids are so helpful Thank you

[@Rodney-of8qi]

Yes, definitely more videos please of shooting video on Fujifilm cameras

[@pavel0900]

Yes please! More videos on making videos with Fujifilm cameras

[@shakefororigami]

Wow that's awesome loved it..few days ago i bought Fujifilm camera but struggling to shoot. But your tips are very helpful to me as a beginner thank you so much.....

[@cuneytborabayn8560]

Thanks for all these effort you show in videos and yes, send us more video please. Hi from Turkey by the way.

[@nb1223]

I really enjoy this guys videos... His ability to teach is superb.

[@pal2tech]

yeah, he's ok. a little goofy but his dr. says if keeps taking his meds he'll be just fine.

[@csasevilla]

Great and useful. Thank you very much for this Xt4 video series.

[@martingreig]

Your tutorials and videos are a god-send, love your style and ability to command attention as I easily get bored watching others!

[@104abhishek]

Great video..please make more..I just bought my xt4 ..really helpful tips..thanks

[@danielwiener2861]

Thanks! Appreciate the “keep it simple” approach. Can you put something together to address video focus, autofocus settings, zooming, etc. ? Thanks again.

[@pal2tech]

Thank you and GREAT suggestion!!!!

[@ericzager6548]

pal2tech I was going to add the same request. The video autofocus seems mysterious. It seems like the two modes are Manual and Magic. I don’t know how it “thinks” or what to expect.

[@newseagull]

Dear Paul, your youtube videos are always interesting, lively and so very funny. You manage to convey complex notions with irony, grace and a lot of sympathy. I follow you with great pleasure from Italy and I am a great admirer of yours. The use of Fuji cameras for videos is very interesting ... I would like you to continue on this side as well as on all your advice relating to the settings of our beloved Fuji. A big hug from Italy. Antonio Eugenio Gambino -

[@terryginther]

Loved your video! Please more videos on video for X-T3/X-T4!!! Great job as always.

[@Hendrix312002]

Great video and exactly what I was looking for. Thank you Chris!

[@CharlesCarlsonC3]

Yes, I’m just starting out and so far so good. It’s a way different deal than shoot with your iPhone, but actually pretty cool. Thanks!

[@traveller2810]

Thank you for another great video! I was also thinking of choosing between H.264 or H.265!

[@Sandra-yo4wd]

Thank you for these tips! I'm new to Fujifilm cameras.

[@jalcanites2939]

I've had my XT3 for over a year now. I rarely shoot videos and as such, I struggle with it. This will definitely help.

[@gabequezada2066]

And yes.. please keep these videos coming in regards to shooting video.. I have the xh-1 and I hope that you can cover all the video aspects...

[@chancelloradams1273]

I shoot with an XT3 you're content is so helpful.

[@jifzy3695]

thank you very much! you are the best and the kindest bloger ever

[@pal2tech]

Thank you so much!!! Very kind of you to say my friend!

[@viewplusproduction]

Clear and very useful tips for fujifilm camera user 👌👍👍

[@corpusfusion1574]

Chris, your video on shooting video has been very very helpful. The settings are keys to better video recording that you provide. You actually go into detail on what h264/265 & long GOP "are", than all the others on the same topics. Chris, yes please make more videos on shooting on FujiFilm cameras. There are not enough video tip on shooting on FujiFilm cameras.

[@davidlai]

Hello, I switched to Fujifilm after watching most of your content, and I got XT-4 along with an 18-55mm lens. Since I do more videos than still, and as a new user, I have difficulty finding a video-friendly lens from FujiFilm native. Could you please talk about video lenses for the fuji camera or suggest some for me?

[@angiemyhre.photography]

Your videos ROCK! So educational. Thankyou !

[@tonyelsom]

Well, well, Fast Friday was very fast this week Chris ! This is so helpful to me as I have never really shot video on my xt3 due to looking at the settings, scratching my head and putting it into the "too hard basket". Now all I have to do is watch this Vlog again, probably again and again, with a notebook and bingo I am shooting 4k video. I have an ND filter so you will not have to get mad with me ! Codex, compression etc etc can now go away I don't need them to confuse me anymore.

[@pal2tech]

That's so awesome to hear Tony!!! Yeah, video is fun once you get over the initial steps of frame rates, compression, etc. And GOOD that you have an ND filter!!! Proud of you pal!! 👍

[@itsdansmith3157]

Your videos have been so helpful in learning tips and tricks on how to use my XT-4. I'm new to videography and your guides have been amazing, so thank you!!

[@dennislodes7407]

Yes make more please. A lot of confusion here. Like setting up the Q menu for video.

[@OgilvyDisciple]

Yes!! More videos on shooting video!

[@CrispyOkra]

Yes, more video on video, please. Even if there is no fix, please bring attention to the exposure ramping issue. More attention brought to it, more likely Fuji will do something. Thanks again Chris for another great video. 👍

[@pal2tech]

Yeah, I need to mention something about that. It's starting to bother me more and more.

[@andersonnebraska8044]

More videos on using Fujifilm X-T3 and X-T4 cameras for video beginners, please. Thanks

[@BlueTangoProject]

Great video! Love this guy! I learn so much but even better: he always makes me smile!

[@openclockclubarchive325]

These videos are far the best fo me. Just at the right level. Thanks a million for making and sharing. Is there a video about shooting for KZbin only with X-T4? Sorry to sound lazy but that would be REALLY useful!

[@stephenloughran9009]

Really loved the video, hope to see more like this.

[@pal2tech]

Thank you so much Stephen!!! I really appreciate the kind words. Yep, I have a new one coming out tomorrow (Tuesday). See ya then!

[@brianhuntoon3908]

Please make more KZbins on tips and techniques for shooting video with the X-T4. This video was great! Thanks.

[@rayk5535]

I like the fast and enthousiastic way you present. Learned a lot. Thnx. And yes I’m interested in shooting both stills and videos with X-T4 especially with 16-80, 50-140 and the teleconverter 1.4.

[@pal2tech]

That's awesome!! Thank you so much for letting me know! 👍

[@cartercooperpa]

I'm having great results with my kit 16-50. It is stabilized like the 18-55 and has quiet autofocus. I use it at 16 mm to get close and wide.

[@debutguitar5302]

Thanks I have the 16-50 and was wondering if it was good as the 18-55.

[@Ibz87]

Wow man this was a awesome video and straight to the point. Thank you so much for this. Definitely helps. I’m a fan. Keep up the great content.

[@hglankshear]

Love this! Thank you for the great tips, I'm going to be putting these into practice straight away.

[@zaplig]

Thanks for the great content. Please do more about filming with the Fuji!

[@pal2tech]

Thank you so much!! I definitely will. I do enjoy the video features and there are so many to cover!! Take care my friend...

[@lyzhengyehang1154]

Please make more videos like this to help us!

[@fishlamp]

Well done! Great resource for beginner Fujifilm-makers.

[@careywalker1504]

Yes, we definitely need more videos on shooting videos. The video settings on the XT4 are incredibly goopy! And most KZbin videos are far to complicated. This is the first video I have seen that finally explains why my XT4 videos are so choppy and “weird.” Thanks.

[@pal2tech]

That's awesome!! Thank you so much for letting me know! 👍

[@fwfeo]

The sharpness, color, crispness and cleanness of your videos is amazing! 👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼 The content is just as amazing and informative! If I start shooting video for youtube, I'll aspire to do it as well as you!

[@biyuwiw]

This is such a helpful video for beginners!

[@Przem1959]

HI, I've been watching your videos for 4 days.I'm fully impressed by your knowledge, and the way of "selling". It's informative and not boring especially with your sense of humor. You really convinced me to leave Nikon APS-Cstable and buy FF xt3 waiting for delivery. So I'm new to this brand, but not to video. I love my old DV camera Canon XL-1 but I'm looking really strange using it :). Kudos for you and please, continue those awesome videos!

[@amorelb]

Awesome video as usual. Thanks and yes we definitively would like more like this.

[@pal2tech]

Awesome, thank you!

[@giuseppevella4368]

Scrivo in italiano. Complimenti per il video. Mi piacerebbe vedere altri nuovi video sulle tematiche di ripresa per film. Ancora complimenti e una buona giornata. Bye.

[@delbert850]

Thanks for the video! Re frame rate - I recently did some video indoors…. Frame rate was 30fps so shutter speed = 1/60. BUT, this gave me flicker from the lights. In the end I had to drop to 1/30s to remove the flicker. Seemed ok….. I’d be interested in peoples thoughts on this 😊

[@oliviervalat4911]

Many thanks !!! Oui je veux bien d'autres vidéos concernant le film sur X-T3 -T4 please !!!

[@ezngab]

Thanks Pal2Tech for the helpful tips. 👍🙏😀

[@terryash3303]

Loved this video, love your humour. I will be buying Fuji X-T4 but I am totally new, so to speak, to this type of camera. Any chance you could do a video for dummies in the near future for this amazing camera, many thanks

[@patkeen8668]

Thank you! Beginning Fuji video shooter here and appreciate this very much.

[@pal2tech]

You are most welcome Pat!!! Keep up the great work and welcome to the crazy Fuji family!!!!

[@ArunSingh-nh6us]

Superb video with lots of information. Please can you do a video on good microphones - how to set them up, record and post-process? Many thanks!

[@ehsiao412]

As always, enjoy your videos. It's very helpful

[@juleshorse9056]

Great video for beginners like myself. Now, what about one on video editing using simple software for beginners?

[@vipinsingh211]

Hi @pal2tech, as always, your video was incredibly insightful! I was wondering if you have any tutorials on event videography? If not, would you consider creating one? It would be really helpful!

[@Wandy1D]

This is great. I just started experimenting with shooting videos. This is so helpful. THANK YOU!

[@pal2tech]

That's great news Wandy!!!!! Keep filming and you'll get some GREAT footage!!!!

[@ivyng9370]

Thank you so much for such amazing information.

[@rainhas.7095]

I would love a video on how to achieve the blurred background look when using the XT4 for KZbin videos.

[@IReadBooksForFun]

I'm getting the XT4 next week and I'm just starting out on KZbin. This is so useful! Thanks for posting this!!! I'll be watching again next week when I set up!!!

[@sedmikrasky3311]

Thanks a lot for this video! I have a xt-100, and my videos suck, I need to put these tips into work ASAP!!!!

[@VintageInsightPhotography]

You present information in such a clear and concise manner. Really, really good stuff. Thanks for this. I did learn something, and yes, please continue making content about Fujifilm video.

[@AnaDLVlogs]

Thank you so much!!! This is extremely helpful! 💕🙏🏻

[@alasfour2000]

I do really like your videos .I hope you start it as episodes be sure to keep it symbol and easy to understand for the beginners like me 😘

[@pal2tech]

Hi Yousef!!! Thank you and a GREAT suggestion! I love the 'episode' idea a lot. I'll come up with something for that and will definitely keep easy to understand, etc. All the best to you my friend!

[@michaelschmitt5413]

So glad you did this. I've been shooting with Fujifilm gear since 2015, but exclusively still photos. This is a very timely tutorial for me, because I have been wanting to experiment with video. These tips are perfect for me. I would love some more. I mostly shoot photos with MF using back button, so I would be interested in focus and metering settings. Note: I shoot X-T2 and X-T20, and don't plan to upgrade in the near future. I do own the 18-55mm, so that's good.

[@pal2tech]

Excellent Michael!!! Glad to hear that and yeah, I'd love to make more of these!!

[@evtimstefanov8377]

Great video as always! Thank you buddy! I'd like to learn more about video myself, so any tips you can share would be very helpful...

[@gaetanomagliuolo]

I subscribed to your channel.I started following you.you are a really teacher. grazie

[@vishal_trivedi]

Intermediate users be yawning but we’ll watch to the end of the video because, I mean, it’s Chris Lee! 👌🏼

[@pal2tech]

Hahaha, Vishal!!!! Thanks man, seriously, as sometimes I feel like I may bore the audience with some of the intro/beginner stuff. I was thinking about that a lot lately. I really appreciate hearing your feedback. Thank you! 🙏

[@chazparvez1814]

Vishal - Maybe the word 'Beginners' in the title might confuse some Intermediate users.

[@brianclayton1875]

Yes please, I would like to see more on shooting videos (X-T3)

[@sigridlee3743]

ditto thanks

[@arnoldking2658]

Thank you very much for this video. Really helpful I look forward to seeing more videos on filming with the Xt3.

[@pal2tech]

Thanks Arnold!! You got it!! 🙏

[@Unaidedfoot]

Great video and helped me a lot with recording my daughters soccer games with my xt2. 🇨🇦

[@pal2tech]

Very cool!

[@HareefMuhammed]

Yes. Would like to see more on taking videos with fujifilm

[@drleonbristow1429]

Yes, I would like more videos about making videos with the XT3.

[@davechambers165]

Thanks! This is exactly what I needed. I’m planning to video myself playing to a number of different tunes on the drums. These tips will get me started on my new X-T4. I also have the “kit“ lens that you mentioned. I’m not sure if you have already done so, but could you have a video about taping personal music videos for online auditions, lessons, or personal use. That is to say, folks who want to video themselves playing musical instruments such as the drums. I have electronic drums, so I can feed the audio directly into the camera. However, many folks have to mic their acoustic instruments, so that might be a challenge for them. Thanks again!

[@pal2tech]

Thanks David! Great suggestion and good luck with your shoot. I used to play drums when I was a kid and LOVED them!

[@atobmartialarts9987]

Hey make more videos about videos on the XT4 camera. Love you videos, thank you for teaching me how to use my camera

[@johnnydee7480]

Video idea for you. Show us your workflow on recording audio while talking to the camera and show us what you do in post. I would love to see your settings in final cut. P.S your audio sounds fantastic. Better than most KZbin channels.

[@pal2tech]

Thanks Johnny!!!! Great to see ya hear again pal!!! Yeah, I'll do something about audio for sure. LOL, someone just commented that the audio on my Viltrox 23mm video was out of sync... and they are CORRECT!!! I still have a lot to learn about audio myself, but I'll be happy to share what I know. I hope you are doing well!!

[@gadgetgaz66]

Many thanks, this was very helpful to me!

[@nmonahan]

Hi, love your channel. What Fuji lens would you recommend for studio product videography? I’m referring to shots like focus pulls, pans and dolly zooms on packaged goods (like a wine bottle) where we want to highlight packaging details, etc.

[@deniseyacknowiec901]

Thank you. Well explained!

[@oleringstad6615]

Perfect video Sir! Ans yes, please make more videos on the subject! How to make videos! Keep up the good work. Thank you.

[@pal2tech]

You got it!

[@exerciseenlightenment8855]

Thank you for this video, a new camera user, my first camera is XT-4...a lot here. You helped me choose it. Mostly for video but excited to learn the camera. So yes do more of these! You see very good at this KZbin stuff!

[@pal2tech]

Thank you so much for the nice words!!! You are going to get some GREAT shots/video with your X-T4!!!!
