GFX 100s Best settings for C-AF | Day3

OK so with any new camera system you’ve got to spend the time testing to really know how it will perform when it really matters and in this case moving into Fujifilm AF is definitely an adjustment from my OMD cameras.
Here are 7 settings to think about as you set up C-AF on your Fujifilm GFX 100s -
• Turn on wide area tracking - this almost always works best for me compared to zones or zones plus face detect
• Set the drive mode to L or H
• I like to use back button focus to make sure CAF is active 100% of the time - Shutter AF - OFF
• I like to turn Face Detection on (without eye detection) for moving people
• AFC case 1
• AFC release priority ON
• Performance is set to BOOST

This video is so helpful for fujifilm users. Thank you so much !

[@weableman]

Haven't got my 100s yet but when it arrives I will definitely be circling back to this video. Well done thank you.

[@kennethwilliamsinc]

Thanks for this. I’m a part time pro and decided to sell the 50s for the 100s. Still waiting for my order and your videos are holding me down until I get mine.

[@anthonyrock5039]

Did it come in yet? Loving mine.

[@kennethwilliamsinc]

@@anthonyrock5039 Yep, I chose the 100 over the S. The firmware update made the functionality identical. I’ve had it for about two months now.

[@sovu9399]

Fuji team would not explain this better. Thank you!

[@deejay6142]

Hi Joseph, really helpful and concise video; thank you. I see you use a on-camera monitor and rig. Would you mind telling me which rig you use for the 100s please? Do you have a video on setting these up? Thanks in advance

[@Bakin]

You must be pleased with the menu system having used the Olympus menus! The menu seems very logical in its setup.

[@lout1587]

Thanks for showing the menu path for all the settings.

Your intro music sounds like a 80s Springsteen song, love it!

Hi Joseph, just like you moved from OMD E-M1iii to GFX 100s. Thank you so much for taking us through the settings. If you have a change on Day 4 - 30 to take us through your various AF-S settings for portraits, landscapes etc; and in particular if you map them to your C1-6 dial settings, that would be much appreciated.

[@richardlow7962]

Great video. Thanks for sharing!!

[@Rogier1969]

Thanks for the very helpful video. Followed all the steps. For some reason my 100S with the 110mm/f2 doesn't yield quite as many sharp photo's. A bit confusing...

[@rogerhyland8283]

Very helpful. Thanks.

[@martintimmann6890]

Well done

[@BdomInfoart]

Merci… from Belgium ;-)

[@MiaogisTeas]

Thanks mate! 👍🏼

[@libork5397]

Joseph, it seams to me like ... Olympus ... aaa ..What's that ???? Good luck at the wedding ... Like to see some images ...

[@icogicog8287]

Thank you. Very useful. I do landscape and architecture so I don’t use AF-C that often so. Learned something. I was wondering if you have played with the custom menu setting yet. I find the manual confusing and don’t seem to get the set up properly.

[@alexandriaoccasional-corte1346]

Great Video. Would you say this camera is capable of shooting toddlers as well? With all their erratic movements...

[@JosephEllisPhotographer]

Yes I do think so. I photograph families for a living and I definitely plan to use it for many of those shoots. Now that’s not to say that there aren’t some days where a speedy toddler might be more than the camera can handle... but 99% of the time I think you’d be good.

[@louis5352]

Personally I would never want to capture out of focus images so I set my AF to focus priority since 85% of good images is not good enough for me.

[@tomaszstramel3594]

Focus is on the camera right in front of you throughout the video, not on your face. Was it intentional?

[@richardstern4584]

Can you show us how to set this up on one of the Custom functions on the PASM dial?

[@JosephEllisPhotographer]

Sure I’ll get to it soon but just as a TLDR - you save them in the IQ menu anytime your setup how you want to save. Just look for the Edit/Save Custom Setting item in the IQ menu

[@richardstern4584]

@@JosephEllisPhotographer Thank you.

[@airfilm_it]

what is the best AF for video mode?

[@lkaufman719]

Very interesting camera. Thanks, Joseph. What lens to you recommend for portraits and landscapes?

[@JosephEllisPhotographer]

Well if it’s a single lens probably the 45-100 zoom but I went with the 32-64 and the 110mm combo for the extra speed of the 110mm’s f2 aperture and the slightly wider 32mm end of the zoom for landscapes. I will say all the GFX lenses I’ve tried are fantastic.

[@rotorfpv4117]

is it for 50s II too?

[@photogrouppolyu6087]

hi, when I mounted Godox X2T(F) trigger or V860II(F) on the GFX 100s, in the on camera flash setting, it only allows TTL or off option; M option is not allowed. Did I miss anything in the setup? or its a godox software problem?

[@dannyli9424]

The " performance boost" feature and the Eye-tracking is a big joke, as a new owner of GFX100s, it's really a shocking experience for me how horrible the AF/tracking capabilities this camera has to offer, I am not even comparing with my Z9 but my already outdated A7RV. it feels it 's almost as good as my 7 year old A7R III. the Image it produces is fantastic thought, that's why I own one, but boy the AF is just nothing but frustration.

[@RobJorg]

your video is front focussed and dont wear that shirt on a video, you should know better. for the rest good informative video, thank you.
