Hybrid Revolution: My Fujifilm X-T5 Workflow for Photo & Video

[@lucat7934]

I would really want to see how you color grade flog2 in davinci and how you add the film look with grain etc. Looks awesome, keep it up 👏🏻

[@erenjam]

Thanks Luca 🙏🏼 planning an episode on this 👨🏻‍💻

[@benjaminyasseri2864]

You shoot great video and stills! I am curious if you use plugins like dehancer. And do you feel like flog2 is more pushable as flog? Has it more latitude?

[@williamevans6142]

@@erenjam Yes please! Man I love these colours! I keep avoiding f-log as I don't want the extra file sixes and processing but man these photos and vids really sing. Did you use the Tiffen filter for the photos and video?

[@nate_thenotso_great]

The chapter on “movie optimized mode” was gold! Thank you for explaining this.

[@shookmusic]

Thank you for making this video. Its pushing me more towards the xt5 over the XH2S for video and photography. Love to see a more in depth video about your color grading process with the xt5 flog2. Great work! 🎉

[@erenjam]

Thank you! I own both and would opt for the Xt5 if I had to decide between the two. Video on video editing in the works!

[@stevenpiao6404]

3:08 OMG this is the exactly the issue I had! Thank you so much for sharing the right way to resolve it! As a hybrid shooter, the "movie optimized control" is a life saver

[@seyedaskar]

Mind blowing footages! You reaping out the full potential off of this favorite camera! Great work man.

[@erenjam]

Huge thanks Syed!

[@videotimebaby90]

Just bought the xt5 based on your older videos so I was glad to see your workflow pop up!

[@erenjam]

Awesome 🙌🏼

[@rickstorr3860]

Thank you for sharing this. I like the form of the X-T series. I want a hybrid camera for travel but I was put off by the photography first label for the X-T5. Your videos have helped me to reconsider.

[@erenjam]

Thank you Rick!

[@andrewphillips2520]

starting to get into video with my XT5, appreciate your content thank you!

[@colinhoward2200]

Great video, and I am pretty much the same. The ability to be able to separate the photo settings via the dials on top, and the video settings via the front and back wheels is cool. I extend the mode switching use case a little further actually. I use the Custom Settings a lot esp for video as I like to be able to switch between say 4K 30p, 4K HQ, 4K 60 and 1080p 240 (each with the shutter speed set accordingly to the 180 degree rule). I set the button left of the menu button to select the custom settings and they all appear with labels on the LCD and it is quick to select them. This seems way better to me than selecting C1-C7 on the PASM dial of the X-H2 cameras as 1) you can have 7 settings each for video and photos, and 2) you don't have to remember what they are as they are labelled. This seems to be rarely discussed benefit in terms of it being a better hybrid camera than the X-H2 variants - it just seems a lot easier to to me.

[@erenjam]

Huge thanks Colin! That sounds like a great idea, will experiment too. And yeah would prefer that to the PSAM dial on the X-H2

[@I.o.a.n.n.i.s]

Can you do the opposite? Using dials on top for video and front/back for photography?

[@Lorenzo_Melocchi]

Super video as usual 🔥 I’ve got a question for you, I’m an xt4 user and usually I’m doing video for social media with my iPhone mainly in full hd. It would be great to see a video explaining basic settings to do the same job with my camera! Im planning to learn how to use the xt4 more for video but I’m lost with all those weird settings. Thanks 👍🏻

[@Amcacs5654]

As someone with a A7IV I preordered the x100vi. It would be my first Fuji camera. I wanted something smaller and lighter to take with me everyday. Also something to inspire me to shoot. My Sony doesn’t do that for me. But my order is back ordered and I have no idea when it’ll come. I’m tempted to pick up the Xt5 instead.

[@erenjam]

Both are good options but The XT5 does everything the X100i does and more

[@kevinfides2167]

Your photos are incredible bro

[@erenjam]

Thank you!

[@janrrob]

I should say I enjoyed every frame of the Paris travel video you showcsed here - with your own colour-grading presets and music background choices that truly captured the street vibes and the culture I guess. I'm an instant fan and would be looking forward to more content from you similar to this! 🔥I'm curious as to which lens you used most often during the filmmaking, and what other lenses you would recommend for capturing video on travel? Thank you indeed!

[@vladimir_filipas]

Fantastic tips as always!

[@erenjam]

Thank yoU!

[@olgadekell]

Thank you 🙏🏼Agree!

[@jasonplucas]

Thank you my man this was the info I was after appreciate it

[@erenjam]

Big thanks Jason 🙌🏼

[@farqalit]

You're the only person who has convinced me to go for xt5 instead of xh2s. There's talk about how xt5 is a photography first camera, but given the price and specs on this, and given you can bring out the results as good as you on the video, it really isn't much far behind than the xh2s. The flip screen, 120fps 4k, negligible rolling shutter really isn't a deal breaker especially when you look at the price difference.

[@erenjam]

I agree, have both cameras and I use the X-T5 far more frequently

[@goncalopereira2957]

Thank you Eren!

[@erenjam]

Thanks Goncalo!

[@itr6540]

[@rapturestudios3179]

Beautiful, beautiful footage man! I love the little moments you captured that tell so many stories. Also wondering what plugin you used to get the film simulation on the video footage? I suspect its Dehancer, but curious to confirm. Amazing work :)

[@erenjam]

Thank you! I don't use Dehancer, have heard good things about it though. I build out the looks on Davinci

[@rapturestudios3179]

@@erenjam Very impressive man, you've got a superb result to my eyes! Great stuff ;)

[@jennifergrainger2480]

Thanks for making this video. The new xS20 switches between video and stills. I’m travelling a lot so I think I’m going to get it. Still prefer the analog design of my XT3. If you ever get a chance to use it I’d love your thoughts.

[@erenjam]

Ill try get my hands on one to test it out, does look like a cool camera!

[@chromosound]

Great job. Do you have a tutorial on how to grade your videos? I think many would love to watch your process as I think you have the most amazing film vibe on KZbin

[@HandsomeNature]

I have a question: I record lengthy nature scenes (birds, squirrels etc) and need a camera that will record continuously for several hours. I currently use the Sony A6400 which will record for 10 hours straight on a 256GB Card and on A/C power. I would prefer to use my Fujifilm XT2 with unlimited A/C power via the battery grip, as it’s got much better quality but the video time limits make it impractical to press record every 30 minutes. I’ve heard that the XT5 has no video recording time limits (until battery exhausts or memory card fills up) but has no power grip to plug in a/c power. Can the xt5 connect to A/C power, enabling several continuous hours of recording footage? If not, can you recommend a camera (preferably from the fujifilm family) that can? Thank you.

[@christian8ell]

I’m torn between the choice of whether to go for the X-T5 or X-h2. i’m a filmmaking student and i want to go into cinematography, however i also do a lot of photography on the side. i prefer the screen on the x-t5 as i hate the fold out on h2, but i the price difference of £200 is swaying me on which one is more worth it?

[@erenjam]

That’s a tough one. I’d opt for the XT5 as its smaller and lighter, easier to carry/hold for long periods. That said the Xh2s does have the edge. If its between the XT5 and XH2 (not the s) id always go XT5

[@felixbpunkt6694]

Eren‘s presets are so, so worth it. Grab them, I always use them if I want the cinematic look.

[@erenjam]

Huge thanks Felix 🙏🏼

[@RobbieMcKane]

Love the colours on your photography, the still at 5.56 is amazing . How is the video slow motion capability? Can you capture at 50fps in 422 and conform to 24fps playback in camera?

[@erenjam]

Thank you! Not sure of it can be done in camera but am pretty sure you can capture 50fps 422 and conform to 24fps in post

[@sonpois]

Really enjoy your vids man! I'm curious! Did i miss the part where you talk about ND filters? When switching from stills to video you still got to add a filter, unless it's super overcast. Right? That's the thing I seem to struggle with the most. Still trying to find an nd system that works for me. Used magnetic ones but you can forget that it's on the camera and then at the next bump it falls off. What do you use?

[@erenjam]

Thank you! Still testing out ND options, magnetic is probably the best way to go

[@rickbenjamin9427]

Did you work this out? Keen to know the most efficient way of switching between

[@itspaavo]

Hey man could you tell us a bit about your video processing ? Looks fantastic !

[@briankavo]

What lenses have you been using on the XT5 thus far and any insights on what works best etc. Picking up my XT5 tomorrow, excited.

Thanks Ufuk. depends, if its a really sunny day I'll use a ND filter if not I'm ok shooting at slower apertures , especially if I'm travelling light

[@videotimebaby90]

Do you recommend any particular nd filter for the 23mm or 18-55?

[@MrAagunarto]

Hi @erenjam thanks for the tips. Do you mind to share how do you normally focus on X-T5 video mode?

[@megiMove]

Can u use ur photo recipe made on c1 up to c7 on videos as well ? Can't seem to find them on video :(

[@erenjam]

I think on mobile you can edit photos with LR but I do have some LUTS and Powergrades in the works so will have more info on this soon

[@magnetoclash]

Thanks. Great video. Do you find that you need to slap an ND onto the lens when you switch to video? Do you find the IBIS on the XT5 is sufficient in video to remove the micro jitters and allow for ok hand held video with non-stabilized lenses, like for example the 35 mm f 1.4, or 27 mm f 2.8 (want to keep it small)? Thanks.

[@erenjam]

If it’s really sunny I do if I have them On me, if not I drop into f-log (1) and use a slower aperture. On the IBIS, i usually hold the camera still so it’s good enough. But it’s pretty jerky when walking, IBIS isn’t a replacement a gimbal / steadycam

[@erenjam]

Just to follow up, all Of my Paris footage (and the Brighton video filmed On the x-t4 was filmed with the 35 1.4, the IBIS does a good job with micro jitters , was happy with the results

[@Omarkhanmusic]

great video!

[@InvestBangkokProperty]

For hybrid use, is it necessary to use a variable nd?

[@MatthewLiu32]

I typically don't use ND filters when shooting street photography. I'd like to know how you adjust when recording videos in the Flog2 format because the high ISO often leads to overexposure when shooting during the daytime. Thank you.

[@erenjam]

For video focused days I’ve stated using ND filters, when I’m shooting photos and grabbing a couple clips i just shoot the video at a high f stop

[@MatthewLiu32]

@@erenjam Thank you! Love your videos and photos.

[@Fujfifilmer]

Nice video Eren abi! Do you shoot in Flog2 and grade it in Davinci? I'm asking because davinci hasn't flog2 yet

[@rawkista]

Great vid. I kove the colors 😎 is it possible to get the same result in terms of colors in FCPX alone or do you really need davinci?

[@erenjam]

Huge thanks. So you can get close in FcPX. My Brighton episode was edited in FCPX but in Da Vinci you have more control over the colours and look.

Purchased your presets! What FujiFilm simulations do you like most for photography specifically?

Huge thanks 🙏🏼 really appreciate the support. I almost always use classic chrome

[@sayjmoove]

As a beginner who wants to focus on videography, do you set the camera up originally for videography settings and then turn on Movie Optimize Mode, or set the camera up for photography first? I was confused on that part of the video. Thanks! Just subscribed as well.

[@erenjam]

Thank you! I set the camera for photos, then turn on Movie Optimised Mode and use the dials to adjust the settings for video. When you switch between the two modes the camera will remember you settings

[@lionheart4424]

I want to buy a brand new Fujifilm camera. I am torn between the XT4 and the XT5. I own a Canon M50 and a Sony a6000, and gotta tell you that I simply adore the touch and tiltable screen on the M50. So, I would prefer the screen of the XT4 over the XT5. As someone who has used both, would you recommend the XT5 over the XT4? Is it true that only some few lenses take full use of the 40MP sensor in the XT5? Thank you for your content, btw!

[@erenjam]

Huge thanks. The XT4 is great value at the moment, the 40mp sensor is nice but it doesn't make a huge difference to the end result.

[@itspaavo]

Any way you can show us how you edit your photos and especially your Videos? Looks like you are using filmbox ? :)

[@jojolerigolo]

Can you invert when switching from still to video? Like dials for video settings and wheels for stills?

[@xikefocus]

Is there crop in 4K HQ 25P? How about rolling shutter compared to XT4? It looks fine to me without much rolling shutter, Fuji probably improve with firmware updates. Overall, do you think the video in XT5 is better than in the XT4?

[@erenjam]

Video is better in the XT5 - its not a huge difference but things like IBIS etc work better in the XT5. There is less rolling shutter with the 5 IMO but it's still there, the XH2s handles it a lot better

[@Banhdatrangnho]

Thank you, bro. May I know how you record with XT5? I mean, did you stand only or moving around as well? It that, how or which setting to make video more stable?

[@TrenTonStackZ]

Can you do a video on export settings for social media. My photos and videos are always compressed and degraded too much even when the file size is up to their standards.

[@YuseiYGO1]

How do you compensate the exposure? Especially if you are changing the shutter speed? Do you use nd filter when taking pictures as well?

[@erenjam]

When it switches to photo mode i use the dials as normal, when i go into video mode it remembers my video settings so don’t have to worry about changing the exposure compensation when I change. As for ND, i do use if its really bright out

[@Desuetus]

Is this grungy look a Fuji characteristic or a color grade ?

Hi bro, would you say xh2s has more "cinematic look video" than the xh2 and xt5? Or it's also possible to achieve similar looks on those 2

[@erenjam]

The raw footage from the Xh2s will look the same (if not better) as that taken on the X-T5. The look comes from the grading

[@j3rom346]

Hey, I'm going to get my first camera, I'm confused between the xs20 and the xt5, im looking at 50% photography and 50% videography, what would you suggest?

[@erenjam]

The XT5 is the superior camera however, if its outside of your budget the XS20 will also be ok or even the XT4

[@deyonpoly5387]

Can it replace Xt4 in video? Will it gave more cinematic look,depth in the footage

[@erenjam]

Won’t be a huge difference between the xt4 and xt5 with video. Xt5 can record higher quality but for most use cases the X-T4 is more than good enough

[@okyeabuddyguy]

You find a big difference between 4k HQ vs 4k? Also is there any reason you shoot in flog2? I think FLOG has a lower ISO option of 500 and lower noise in the original recording as well.

[@senthk7727]

Hey Eren, i heard LR gives some worms etc on the fuji files do you think they are quite bad etc and should get capture 1 instead. Asking as im weighing up buying xt5 or sony a7iv. Thanks 😁

i always see people that shoots fuji using Lightroom as the raw editor... but to me, in my xt20 some shots the worms are so obvius that i kinda dont like LR, even with no sharpness added... how is your experience with Lightroom and how you deal with those ''worms''? is it any better on these new sensor?
