Great review and tips! Minor point, I think “All” under your AF options doesn’t let the camera choose what’s best (that’s what “Wide” does); rather it allows you to cycle between all AF options via the command dial. It’s actually pretty handy once you get the hang of it. Great channel and images!

you say that AF ALL means the camera choses for you the right mode. thats not correct, it only means that you can scroll through all AF modes (if you use the front dial for AF modes) instead of being stuck in for area for exanple, and changing only the size of the area. but i like your review. i think it is really helpful for beginners. thank you!

Hi Samuel. Great video. would you prefer the Fuji X100V or the fuji XE4? I'm a little torn. I have the XE3 and love it . I also own an Xpro 2. I currently don't have a 35mm equivalent lens and I owned a fuji x100f and stupidly got rid of it. is the new 27mm lens as good a performer as the X100? you make a great case for the Xe4 as a street and video camera.

I haven't yet purchased an x-e4, so have only read in the manual online that the front command dial BUTTON dial can be used to cycle through 3 options - Front Command Dial 1/2/3. Is there one of these options, that after I select it, the front command dial will ONLY adjust ISO?

Wow, I really appreciate this video and all the information. I've been looking hard at Fuji for a combination street photography/short film camera and this looks like the camera I want/need. Has all the functionality I love in the X100V for stills, but the addition of interchangeable lenses, and the core functionality I wanted for video from the XT-3/4. When I shoot short films I'm always on a tripod or gimbal and using manual focus, so I'm not really missing anything with the lack of IBIS. Can't wait to get this camera!
@SamuelStreetlife3 жыл бұрын
Awesome! Glad to know my video was helpful to you! The X-E4 is definitely capable! But one thing I haven't experienced till making this video is overheating. With the X-E4 you need to be a little careful when shooting 4K. The camera overheated for me once when I had the camera out in the sun on a tripod and filming for 1 hour straight. When recording shorter takes you shouldn't encounter that problem. So make sure to turn the camera off between takes if you plan to shoot in the sun or warm days!

Great video! I’ve been with Fuji for 10 years and can say this is one of the best pieces of advice on how to assign controls to buttons (I like the idea of screen swipe for some settings) and how to get quick focus. Focusing with Fuji remains an issue for me, constantly focusing on the background etc. If Fuji made the XE3 with a flippy screen this would be perfect for me. I dislike the swivel screen on XT4 because it alters the centre of gravity/axle and really slows down street photography. I love my XH1 but keep hitting the Q button by mistake. I love using Russian lenses and Lens Baby on my XH1 for IBIS. Great video. Thanks.

@jonmayes32623 жыл бұрын
So the most controversial thing is the AF dial missing isn’t it- but actually this technique you explained in the video of overriding the auto focus is actually a faster technique than having to flip the AF dial on the front it seems. It requires less thinking in a way, as you don’t need to think about flipping a dial, the only thing you need to think about is the focus ring and whether you decide to use it to override- which you would do anyway! I mean to me this seems more intuitive, and much more simple. Am I right or maybe I’m missing something?

@fredbloggs5453 жыл бұрын
Get the kit and hold off on the 18-55 until you figure out what focal lengths and lighting conditions you end up shooting in. You might find that you need wider apertures than the 18-55 allows, so something like the Viltrox 23mm f/1.4 or 56mm f/1.4 may be more suitable. Or maybe you end up shooting wide in low light and need the Fuji 18mm f2. Don't be afraid of pushing the ISO to 12,800 in low light though.

I never used burst mode or ever explained about speed between shots ever. I always found burst mode stats to be crazy but what I like least about X-e4 is the new navigation both physical and digital menu but a close second is his slow single jpg photos take . Some people on KZbin or reddit attacked me for commenting on this, saying it was user error and I'm an idiot for not knowing it was the jog post processing .. but after 4 Fuji cameras Indver even heard of that. I noticed that the only thing that causes the crazy delay I experience was the "Clarity" slider which when starting I had at +2 or -1. So weird that the clarity effect slowed that camera down so much but it cant make a noticable improvement to image quality.
@zed3513 жыл бұрын
Clarity involves intensive processing of the image so it is obvious that it will take a second to process and save. Nothing "weird" about it and it does make a noticeable difference. It didn't happen on your other cameras because they didn't have that setting! *TURN OFF CLARITY* No idea what you mean about burst mode being crazy, when shooting manual focus lenses I sometimes use 8fps when shooting people with shallow Depth of Field to get at least one shot sharp. Sounds to me like you don't really understand the cameras that you use.

This is no longer an X-E.. What started as a mini XPro has been stripped too far, it is Fujifilm design and technology, but not controls - it is all settings INSIDE and touch. My menu is great, but it is two / three step. Fuji’s current success is based as much on the sensor and color science as it is about design AND analog controls. An X-E3 like body with Xtrans IV and tilt screen would have been perfect. Maybe Fujifilm is trying to separate the XE more from the XP and even X100 series. …but at that point I’d rather get the XP or X100 series.
