FujiFilm X100VI Settings Guide and Camera Walkthrough - FULL TUTORIAL

[@KylerSteele]

Leave me a comment if this video taught you anything new!

[@emodro]

I'm having a hard time hear you say "Set Ins" instead of settings.

[@jennycolville]

I’d be totally lost without this video. Thank you so so much!

[@KylerSteele]

Thanks for watching!

[@colinscotland2887]

​@@KylerSteeleI accidentally dropped my Fujifilm X100VI from the coffee table but I thoroughly explained it and not a mark on it but I wonder if the following is normal regarding the Optical/Electronic Viewfinder Selector Lever, when I look through the viewfinder and flip the lever, it works perfectly but when I hold the camera well away from my face and flip the lever it doesn't always work, can you all try it, point the camera at certain things and plus the ceiling and flip the lever, does the optical/electronic viewfinder Selector only work when you have your eye up to the eye viewfinder and sensor.

Never in my life I thought I could sat and watch a whole hour video on a camera BIG SHOT OUT TO YOU !!!

[@pamelajones5666]

I just got my X100Vi on Wednesday. I am totally new to Fujifilm so this video was a godsend for me! Thank you so much to taking the time to make it and for explaining things so clearly!

[@KylerSteele]

Thank you for watching

[@darkwhorse]

Thanks! Im coming from a Canon 5D and wanted to simplify my set up. Little did I know that Fuji's menu is more robust than my 5D. Appreciate the video and hope you make more of these specific to the Fuji x100 line.📷

[@braaji]

Just got my X100VI today from B&h after 100 days waiting, I just followed your steps for set up, thank you for this great work, and keep your head up, u 2 best,

[@KylerSteele]

Glad it helped

[@MulliganAl]

Excellent video, it really helped me to understand this camera better and set it up for the way I shoot. I'm going to check out your other videos that address other features.

[@capturedbymili]

This has really helped me get up and running! Thank you so much for all the hard work you've put into this video. It's truly appreciated. 🤟

[@prithvikunder7110]

Late to the X100VI party, but I’m so glad I found your video. I got my camera yesterday, my first digital one after using a Nikon FM3a. You covered all the settings and made the setup so easy. Now I feel like I might actually know what I’m doing with the X100VI-shockingly enough😂

[@kristinwearsglasses]

Thank you so much for this video! New cameras can be easily overwhelming and your video made it a lot less daunting. You rock!

[@KylerSteele]

You're so welcome!

[@finalscore1988]

Excellent video, very helpful, easy to follow and well explained. One little helpful note, when you set any of function buttons to "select custom setting" unless you have a custom setting already saved nothing pops up on the screen when you press the allocated FN button.

[@antonioleitao-marques1224]

Thank you! Very good presentation of a lot of settings and a menu sometimes a little bit confusing. The use of Command Dial is an example of this and was very well clarified.

[@KylerSteele]

Thank you! Glad to have helped

[@ZevGinzburg]

This video has been a tremendous help in my usage of the x100vi. I literally had no idea how to set up the my menu and customize the buttons. This went in great but comprehensive detail and I cannot express my appreciation enough. Very well done and thank you so very much for putting this together!

[@StijnOom-q1c]

Hi Kyler! I've had a hard time watching videos on the Fuji X100VI and I've never really had the patience to sit through them completely. However this one is different. I've just finished setting up and I want to thank you for the clear guidelines. Awesome job and I cannot wait to start shooting :) On to your video about Film sims! :)

[@tysonogloff]

Really enjoyed this video! Thank you for putting in the time to make this! I just received my x100vi and this is my first 'real' camera, and I set most of my settings the same way you described and am excited to get out and use it. One thing I'd really like to note though- and please correct me if I'm wrong- but if you choose to put the camera in full manual mode and set Aperture Ring Setting (A) to COMMAND in order to use the rear dial to control aperture, then placing the ring in position A and spinning the rear dial all the way to the right will basically put the camera back into Auto aperture mode. Then, spinning the dial one click to the left will 'enter' manual aperture mode, starting at f16, and go down from there with each subsequent spin to the left. Spinning all the way back to the right, past f16, will once again put the camera into Auto aperture mode. Please let me know if this doesn't make sense, or if I am mistaken! Cheers

[@KylerSteele]

I’m not sure but I can test it out!

[@JayJayNay]

I’m new to Fuji and have the VI. This video is great. Learned a lot. Thank you. Up to the next one but for now it’s a little late. Off to bed 💤💤💤

[@singlehk]

Very informative video, learned a lot and realised how much this camera can do, thank you! The only thing I could figure was how/where you setup which buttons to include on the Q menu screen. And how to arrange those buttons when the various menu items are picked. Thanks

[@BleliEli]

This is the best walkthrough video by far!

[@ternovanimagery]

Interval Timer vs Self Timer settings - very clever!👌

[@angistath]

Thank you so much for this video it helped a lot😍 going straight to the film simulation one ✌🏼

[@KylerSteele]

Let’s go! Happy shooting!

[@ricardoviltakis2579]

Im sure someone has mentioned this, but for the Touch control auto focus settings, area is great as it lets you touch to pick which location to autofocus so you arent using your joystick to move around the points. Goated setting imo

[@KylerSteele]

Agreed!

[@TheScipios67]

Great video thanks a lot ! I'm new in those photography things and I really appreciated your work.

[@KylerSteele]

Happy to help!

[@SkippyGustilo]

Thanks for making the Effort to make this video. I'm very experienced with Fujifilm from the XPRO-2 to the T4 and now this.... but man it feels like a different beast with a lot of other sub menus that I did'nt know bout! cheers Kyler!

[@KylerSteele]

My pleasure!

[@FilipRapp76]

Thank you sommuch for this video. It really helped me out and I learned a lot in the process of setting it up.

[@KylerSteele]

Glad it helped!

[@ourhouseuk]

When do you ever use the thumbs up grip if you’re back button focusing?

[@rick-deckard]

Dynamic range priority is life changing.

[@KylerSteele]

Maybe I’ll give it a try 👀

[@JoelAlfaro]

@@KylerSteele Yes please do! If you set a custom button to it, on tricky HDR scenes you can retrain information on both highlights and shadow on JPGS (no having to go in to the raw). It also TRANSFORMS each simulation or recipe immensely if you go from OFF to Low or High. It's like 3 SIMS in one. Of course if you want to go back to the the Slide film inky blacks you can always choose to have it OFF and then expose for the highlights. The thing is no YT channel talks about this, aside maybe from PAL2TECH and he talks about it from a more technical POV.

[@bmorlok1]

does the HDR drive mode not do the same thing?@@JoelAlfaro

[@johnty52]

Great run through Kyler, TY

[@KylerSteele]

Thank you!

[@brownbear100]

Worth noting the main reason for not using AF+MF is that it overrides your selection of focus priority to release priority. Same with back button focus. And setting up lock is really useful. You skipped over it but by default the only thing that is locked when you lock the camera is the Q menu. The reason for me locking the camera is when giving to someone else or if I am in a crowded environment and being jostled, or maybe it's raining to prevent touchscreen issues. I don't want certain settings accidently changed. And not just the Q menu. So I rather select all, and then deselect those few functions I want to always have access to when locked. Which is very few.

[@KylerSteele]

Good inputs! Some people will definitely find that very helpful!

[@BleliEli]

Thanks!

Incredible video!

[@ipodcrazy1030]

just got mine and new to Fuji but is it just me or is it normal for the lens to make a weird noise everytime you turn it on/off?

[@carolsummers7414]

It's very helpful - one question - I added an adapter and UV filter and see the lenses in the viewfinder in the lower right corner. Is there any setting that eliminates that? Thank you for taking the time to do the tutorial

[@KylerSteele]

No the viewfinder style will always block that lower right corner. If you want to see the frame unobstructed you can flip the switch and go electronic viewfinder!

[@rphandler]

Excellent video in content, clarity and speed of presentation. My x100vi arrived late yesterday and by morning today I'd sold my x100v (for $1475). Despite the excellent video I'm flummoxed on two issues. 1. I cannot make the front lever switch from EVF to OVF as it did on my x100v. 2. I cannot make pushing the rear wheel activate focus magnification which I could do on the x100v. What am I missing, or is my new camera defective?

[@rphandler]

Contacted Fuji Support: I had the EFV/LCD level set in 3-D (adds virtual horizon) and this happens to lock the viewfinder in EVF mode. Wow, how about that!

[@KylerSteele]

Thanks for the comment! I had no idea originally!

[@gossedejong9248]

thank you very much!!

[@tarapaul8212]

Helpful video. Thanks

[@KylerSteele]

Thanks for watching!

[@yuvalha2954]

Out of curiosity, you mentioned that you shoot mostly with AF-S with the focus point centered, do you focus and recompose the scene? What about moving objects? Like for example people coming towards you? Do you switch to AF-C in such cases? I find the VI misses a lot much more than my Q3.

[@KylerSteele]

I focus and recompose for 95% of my shots! For close street photography I do use a wider point and eye autofocus and shoot in a burst mode

[@dsego84]

More people need to start using HEIF, or it's never going to be a "standard". HEIF is the image format of the future, it's got 10bit colors and half the size of the JPEG for the same perceived quality. Apple adopted it for their devices all the way back in 2017, that's almost 7 years now, so all your iphones, macs etc support it already (windows might need plugins). And JPEG is old and crusty, it's a standard from the days of dial-up internet and cathode ray monitors. If you really want, it's always possible to convert your heic to jpeg when you need it. Also, why leave raw uncompressed, their lossless compression almost halves the file size without loosing quality.

[@KylerSteele]

I’ve been an early adopter in the past and feel like I’d rather stick with standards til mass adoption. Also I don’t have any lack of storage so I like shooting uncompressed. Usually makes the file easier to edit also

[@canyonblue737-8]

The vast majority of users of both Windows and Mac, iPhone or Android... are ready for HEIF right now... and like you said it is HALF the size but it isn't the same perceived quality... its better, with 64x the color range because of the 10-bit vs. 8-bit. JPEG is hanging on for no good reason for most, and in the super rare situation you need to send a HEIF to someone with an ancient computer, you can convert it to JPEG... sure an extra step with a slight loss of quality... but someone with such an old setup wouldn't notice the difference anyway. The VAST majority of people's current equipment is ready for HEIF now, Capture One, Lightroom, Apple Photos etc. all work with HEIF, and uploading to all major social media sites with HEIF is supported.

[@Kwright304]

I just got one of these this week and I’m a professional photographer pretty unfamiliar with Fuji and this file type. What’s the tangible difference?

[@highfive511]

Thanks for the helpful video! As I go along, I noticed a few settings that seem to be configurable in your video are greyed out in my camera. Some examples being: Select custom setting (under Pixel Mapping), AF Range Limiter, Photometry, Flickerless S S Setting, etc. I notice you are able to click into these and but I can't even click them at all. Any idea why?

[@KylerSteele]

Some settings will be grayed out/not available if you are in single shot/burst/video mode. Another reason is if you are creating a custom setting then you cant select one while creating one. So make sure you are out of that menu and back in the main screen

[@evecopley335]

Squarehood! Linked in description or you get watch the accessories video!

[@Tanguero]

I'm curious if this is the updated firmware 1.01? At 24:44 you start explaining the BUILT-IN FLASH and quickly run through the settings for this, including TTL MODE. I'm unable to change to TTL SLOW mode regardless of what I do. I've really only begun to explore the menus on this camera and updated firmware is the only explanation I can come up with. Perhaps when I do upgrade it to 1.01 and come back to this menu, it will show all the options that you run through for TTL.

[@KylerSteele]

I didn’t update my firmware yet but it may be on 1.01. Not sure if some shipped different or not

[@nameredacted2813]

@ 49:06 not sure if this is true for the x100vi but on the XT50 when you set Aperture Ring to "command" when you use the scroll wheel you can go through all the f stop but if you keep scrolling it will put you back into auto. For example, scroll from lowest to highest aperture, but if you keep scrolling, I'm in auto again without having to go back into the menu. Can you confirm for x100vi if this function is the same?

[@sdzhinovski]

Also mentioned around 41:00 . Could confirm it works exactly the same way on the X100VI. Maybe it was added on a later firmware version.

[@maimaiwazzup]

My flashing TTL mode cannot change. Do you know to fix it?😢

Is there a shadow option ? I see them in recipes but not in camera

[@KylerSteele]

There is a shadow option in the tone!

[@RoastBeefSandwich]

How do you use the hybrid viewfinder - with the small patch in the bottom corner? I want it to just show my scene off the sensor. Example: I am shooting with the Acros preset with the OVF - but I want the small patch in the corner to show my full scene in B&W so I can keep an eye on my tones.

[@KylerSteele]

Not sure exactly but if you move the switch to the left a couple times and the right a couple times until it gives you the frame you want you’ll definitely get it!

[@RoastBeefSandwich]

@@KylerSteele It's so weird. I was using the small patch on the first day I got the camera but haven't been able to get it to come back since. I need to call Fuji I guess. Their menus are cryptic, but your video helped me get most of the menus set up so I won't have to dig through them as much now.

[@chunlongwong56]

[@robredo]

Hi, I want to know, If you take pictures in full auto mode with FUJIFILM X100VI, can the camera blurred the backround automatically? I dont like photos of a person with blurred background. I like only absolutely sharp photos (who wants take pictures on a holiday, take the shot somebody and background behind you, the castle for example to be blurred). So if full auto mode can prevent me to have blurred backrounds.

[@KylerSteele]

Shoot in aputure priority and aim for f8 to keep everything in focus

[@robredo]

@@KylerSteele There is even higher numbers: f16, f11. Why not to choose them? Will not the photos be even sharper?
