Fujifilm X-T5 Camera: A Few Good SECRETS!

[@dan.allen.digital]

There is also a feature to save your self timer setting. So if you have the 2 second timer on and turn off the camera, it will still be on 2 second timer when you turn the camera back on. A great feature for landscape photography.

[@rodneytopor1846]

Yes! The lack of this feature in the past has been *so* frustrating.

[@doublebindphotography882]

The X-T4 also allows this

[@bulimbajon]

Here’s another tip. The X-T5 has a digital teleconverter menu option giving you access to 1.4 or 2 x magnification. This is a crop, of course, and one without the interpolation of the X100V. So the 1.4X gives you an image of about 29Mp and the 2X brings your image down to about 20Mp. But 29Mp is still a lot higher than the previous sensor and even 20Mp is ok for many purposes. I’ve assigned the teleconverter to a function key. This means that if I’m using, say, the 35mm F2 to view a scene at full size (40Mp) and I then press the function button once, then “Boom” (as Chris would say): my lens is now effectively a 50mm F2 and I’m seeing a zoomed in (cropped) image of 30Mp. A 56mm f1.2 becomes almost a 90mm f1.2 with the same teleconversion - and still at 30Mp. If I click the function button twice I get the 2x teleconversion. You can achieve the same thing by cropping in post, naturally, but this function gives (IMHO) some real compositional advantages. It also means you can carry smaller FL lenses than you might otherwise use - as long as you’re happy with the 30Mp resolution. I think this is quite a cool function, but one which gets little mention in the reviews.

[@JoelWolfsonPhoto]

If you calculate the resolutions (5472x3648 and 3888x2592 respectively) It's actually about 20MP for the 1.4X and 10MP for 2X. You need to reduce it in two dimensions which is different than just dividing 40MP by 1.4 or 2. It still makes for a decent sized file/resolution at 1.4X and if you're not doing print and just posting online then the 10MP for 2X is useful as well.

[@bulimbajon]

@@JoelWolfsonPhoto Thanks for that clarification, but it’s a shame the resolution is so much lower than I thought. Still, it keeps those file sizes down!

[@JoelWolfsonPhoto]

@@bulimbajon You're welcome and I agree it would be nice to have a bit more resolution but I still think the 1.4X is useful. Also it was good of you to point this out as I am sure it will be or has been useful to many folks.

[@damienkphoto]

This is a great tip man, thanks. Buying one very soon!

[@PatrixSean]

Another thing that I noticed while playing with the X-T5 for the first time, they got a new deflicker function where you can change the shutter speed to 1/106.5 for exazjust like with the Canon R5 cameras. That works with photo and video under certain lights really well. Hope more people get to know that function! Good for video and electronic shutter!

[@doughall987]

One thing that I don't think was there with previous models is that the eye sensor is disabled if the LCD screen is open by more than 45 degrees.

[@robertpope6146]

Thanks Chris. Picking up my XT5 today. Can’t wait. Rob

[@programtelefonowy587]

I am amazed by quantity of content uploaded by you about x-t5. Good work

[@JasonMilner]

Another tip in relation to #4 (focus point wrapping), if you've left the focus point way over to one side, & want to quickly centre it, just double-click on the focus stick. Especially useful if you're using all of the focus points. (PS, this is from my X-T2, but I assume it works on all models with a focus stick).

[@ritterkeks]

interesting! on my X-S10 that does nothing. what I do instead is the slightly more cumbersome: press stick, back button, press stick (maybe this also depends on the stick primary/secondary function that you can set as well)

[@petersmitham8273]

Doesn’t appear to work on the new xt-5 …you have to press the ‘back’ button while the focus area is highlighted in green….unless someone knows differently?..

[@JasonMilner]

@@ritterkeks Sorry, I guess it varies from model to model. I checked the manual for the X100F, & it centres with a (presumably single) press of the focus stick

[@petersmitham8273]

@@JasonMilner … it’s very odd and slightly inconvenient to have to go to a separate button to recentre the focus square…..it works on other fujis like my xpro-2 so why not a brand new camera?..I hope Fuji will update this with new firmware?./

[@JasonMilner]

@@petersmitham8273 definitely, the double-click on the focus stick is such an intuitive action, I'm surprised they didn't make it standard across the board.

[@oc2phish07]

Once again an excellent and very useful video, Chris. Makes finding my way round my new X-T5 so much easier and more of a pleasure. Many thanks.

[@dog4mike]

Oh man, that 3D level would be so handy. My Nikon D850 had that, but I lost that feature when I downsized to the Fuji system. Some of my work is architectural and product photography. A 2D level is fine mostly, but a 3D is so nice for getting straight lines on walls, or consistent angles when shooting items that all need to have a consistent point of view. I know, a niche need, but I have missed that feature!

[@johnhal1]

Firstly, I just wanted to say a massive 'thank you,' Chris, for all you do and put into, your videos. They help brighten my recovery. I haven't used a camera for a long time, gave up taking photographs due to ill health. However I am thinking that perhaps later this year, maybe, just maybe, I'll get myself a system that I can use once more. I've shot previously with Canon, Sony and Olympus. I'm intrigued by Fuji. Can I ask. Have you noticed any "false positives," whilst shooting? I've watched other KZbin users report that whilst continuous auto focus seems amazing, once back editing their images, guide a few have missed focus. This surely has to be a major priority for Fuji to fix.

[@bulimbajon]

Hi Chris. When you do your full review of the X-T5 please could you talk about managing the file size of the 40mp images. I know you’ve done vids on storage and people say storage is cheap etc, but many others online are commenting that 26mp was quite enough and they don’t want the hassle of dealing with large files. I’d be interested in your advice. Thanks very much.

[@ads3453]

Yeah I would second this, It would be good to hear from Chris as there have been a lot of XT-3 fanboi's claiming its super amazing great. As an XT-4 user I need someone I trust to give us a honest review. As I am tempted by this camera but would like to see some direct comparisons between XT-4 shots vs XT-5 shots taken at the same time and some pixel peeping :)

[@rakneuro]

I assigned the leveling feature to a function button, which allows you to quickly switch between 2D, 3D, or off.

Great! I got my XT5 3 days ago and love it already. But I'm really curious about the best settings for birds in flight. That's my greatest interest, especially smaller birds that move quickly and erratically, like swallows or terns. So, I'd love to see you address that issue. BTW, I upgraded from the XT2 to the XT5, so the changes in options are major for me :)

[@gerardjanolden]

As always Chris! Great show! Greetings from the Netherlands! I love mine.

[@viktorknapp6383]

Just got the X-T5 this week and for me the biggest change from the X-T4 is how Custom settings profiles behave on X-T5. On X-T4 it stored just the picture settings like film simulation, color, sharpness, clarity, etc. On X-T5 it stores a whole lot more. Even things like, JPGE/RAW, Custom AF-C setting, Auto ISO setting, face/eye/subject detection, photometry, IS mode and more. Before it was usable for film recipes but now each Custom profile can drastically change how the camera behaves. Not sure if I like this change or not. It can be very useful but it also complicates using profiles as film recipes. Will you be looking into this Chris? And possible make a video about this?

[@b3arodactyl]

They really need to make it include only those things that you specify in a custom setting, so if you want to save af-c mode or otherwise you can but it won’t override it if you only specify a film sim recipe

[@criticaltinker]

can you save like Auto Exposure Bracketing on one and Single shot on one like the custom mode dials with other cameras?

[@viktorknapp6383]

@@criticaltinker You can't. That always follows whatever is set on the physical dial.

[@cdreyes81]

I can't wait to get the xt5

[@floralemmens]

So in a few days i'm gonna go from my xt2 that got stolen to an xt4. To me I really like the flipscreen and it is cheaper in price now. I feel like i still want the more videographic aspects of the xt4. The xt5 is indeed a photography first camera but i like the xt4 for it's more versatile use. And i think jumping from xt2 to xt4 must feel quite the improvement.

[@b3arodactyl]

The X-T4 is still an amazing camera, more than enough for most people, only big advantages of X-T5 are for very large printing, extreme cropping, and af-c eye tracking but that seems to be a bit inconsistent from other videos

[@floralemmens]

@@b3arodactyl but how is it extreme ceopping or large printing? The sensor has the same size as xt4 right? Anyway i have bought the XT4. Much improvement from xt2. Haven't used it yet but i'm super happy with it already :)

[@SuperD1249]

Great video Chris. Thanks for the "surprises"! Much appreciated. Question. Did you discover the surprise waiting for you in Lightroom Classic? The missing film simulations/camera profiles. I have the Adobe subscription model so I have the latest of both LRC and Camera Raw. The X-T5 comes up in the Library module as being the X-T5. So Adobe got that right. However in the Develop module there are missing camera profiles: Classic Neg, Nostalgic Neg, Eterna Bleach Bypass and Sepia. I've already dropped a note to Adobe but I was wondering if you have experienced this same Lightroom omission?

[@duskateru]

YOU ARE THE BEST! Chris would you mind one day to explain in one of your videos WHY Fuji does not allow you to "store" custom film simulation elsewhere other than C1's buttons? I have a XS10 and I think would be awesome if the allow you to CREATE under the list and dedicated PASM dial for Film Simulations my own recipe. Lets say under the last one "SEPIA" you start to create your own list. Would that make sense? How much of internal memory it would take? Could it be stored into SD card?
