Metering Modes of Fujifilm Cameras

Metering modes of Fujifilm cameras, otherwise known as photometry settings, contain four settings: Multi, Center Weighted, Spot, and Average. These tell the camera how to calculate the best exposure for your scene.

I'M JOKING!!! I'M KIDDING!!!! NO, the channel is not going away! I'm now getting a lot of emails about this -- sorry for confusion. Though, I may invite some photographer friends to link up and we'll go on a @minecraft quest together. Hey Mojang or @Microsoft, can you add Fujifilm camera objects to the final Caves and Cliffs update?

[@eugenegirshtel]

Sorry, I came here solely for Minecraft videos and instead some photography stuff is being talked about. UNSUBSCRIBED!!!!!! 😜

[@samcoppens3023]

could you perhaps talk about dynamic range once? I really don't get it that well.

[@matadordemolinos]

I have believed your joke about ceasing this valuable channel. I've been on the verge of a heart attack ... don't be so cruel, please ...

[@pal2tech]

@@matadordemolinos Sorry!!!! 🙏

[@mydemon]

People have no sense of humor anymore. I thought it was hilarious!

[@grantosborne3062]

If you own fuji this channel is a MUST. Always the best.

[@JosefGonzo]

I know this video is 2-years old, but I am just now learning photography and found the info here incredibly helpful. Thanks so much, you earned a new subscriber.

[@mr_jarble]

Would love to see a full video on histogram! Also have a great weekend

[@pal2tech]

You got it! You too by the way!! 👍

[@trowawayacc]

Did he not promised a video on the color histogram a while ago? Also i am binging avery video! Keep em coming!

[@mcdotmc]

Please, do a histogram for b&w and color photos!!! Awesome channel!

[@Don-yf6yo]

I always use spot metering, check the histogram, then lock the exposure. I never bother with any of the other metering modes. But now I know how the other metering modes work. 🙂

[@aaronr6642]

You’re such a wonderful teacher! Even though I feel as if I know how to use my X-T3, there’s always something I learn from you. Thanks Chris!

[@pal2tech]

Thanks Aaron!!!! 🙏 🙏

[@Nomvd90]

@@pal2techI’ve had my Fuji xt3 for a year and a half, and I still learn something new from you, every time 🙌🏽

[@LeslieBigos]

Setting the spot linked to metering is so great! Thanks for teaching me this!

[@nerwin]

Chris, you're the best! You make learning fun again. Always looking forward to your videos even when I've already learned what you're teaching, I can still pick up a thing or two! I love it. Keep up the great work. I can't wait to see the histogram video, I've watched some but no one explains it that well and I know you'll make it fun and exciting.

[@cmar6268]

Just as expected another great video from you! Always learning something new when I watch.. Just turned on the focus and exposure interlock.

[@Roger_Ramjet]

Dude, you are an incredible teacher and personality.

[@danielschmaderer]

I seriously learn something every time I watch your videos. I didn’t know about the interlock feature. I literally turned on my X-T4 and turned that on right away so was watching. Thank you for the awesome tips as always.

[@philreadjr]

Spot linked metering tip is a revelation. It's really helped me with some frustrations I was having. Thank you!

[@mcuna42]

I’ve been watching your channel well over a year, and I just got my first Fuji a couple days ago, a X-T3. Super helpful. Thanks.

[@stephenhadeenphotography]

Great tip with turning on the interlock feature for spot metering! I use spot the majority of the time but I do also have the issue of exposure changing depending on where the focus is set at. Thanks for sharing that tip! Having read other comments, I’m not the only one who appreciated that tip!

[@chancebriley7354]

Thank you so much for making these videos - they are amazing! I recently got a Fujifilm XT-3, and your videos have been an invaluable resource for me to rapidly get more familiar with the camera system, especially since this camera is my first Fuji camera. Looking forward to watching more!

[@marc4210]

It's like the "Good Eats" of photography. Love all your videos. Super helpful

[@tongdee2549]

Pretty much spot metering linked to focus for me. you're the best out there for Fuji education 🙏🏻

[@devinelake]

This is one of the most useful video I have seen. Well done.

[@carlosdias1940]

Great video Chris!!! Best explanation ever, as per many on this channel...uffff....not going away!!!

[@loco46m]

Thank you for being a good teacher with beginners like me. I really understood this better! You're also the reason why I'm seriously considering switching from Canon to Fujifilm. Great job!

[@andrewphillips2520]

I've been trying to figure out the Photometry on my XT4, thank you.....lifesaver!

[@brentmiller3250]

One-by-one, I'm going to watch all your Fujifilm videos. Thanks for the indespensable nugget of knowledge.

[@charlietuna9427]

This is the ONLY channel i need to learn how to get max out of my Fuji!

[@moneymoy]

This explanation is so good. Thank you!

[@steenstube]

Having acquired an older but in mint condition X-T2 I discovered this channel - and wow it is so helpfull! Thank you very much.

[@JohnChubbSr]

Thank you, Chris. I'm glad you brought this up as I tend to leave the Fuji in one setting and not use the rest. I like something fast for birds that may move within a second, and auto focus with the back button. Have a great weekend, too!

[@pedroluis412]

I always find something new to learn in your videos. Excellent channel! Thank you.

[@dipo2000]

You are the best fujifilm teacher of the world! I'm watching your tutorials and I'm learning so many things about my new x-t4. I thank you so much.

[@iaincphotography6051]

You and your family have a good weekend too Chris, cheers.

I'm new to my X-T3 and I'm kind of watching all of videos about fujifilm camaras. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@1959fenderstrat]

Helpful I use spot a lot and the option to balance the entire scene with the option ON was super helpful !

[@aronald]

As always great video. You have the gift of teaching.

[@sclogse1]

Once again, fresh and clear.

[@johnaufiero7950]

The detailed explanation of the histogram, access,usage, meaning is going to be most helpful and eagerly anticipated. Please remember there are many Newbies, like myself, who find this info confusing when not detailed slowly. Thanks

[@tomderr771]

Two month Fuji user here (switched from Sony largely due to your videos). Love your content as you always clear up the confusion I get by reading the manual! Keep up the great work!

[@nicolastan5817]

Amazing vid, Chris! Thank you! I fell in love with photography since 2016, and I was only using my phone camera back then; because of your videos, I purchased the XT5, and I'm loving every single aspect of it!

[@SpaceP3nguin]

Been struggling with getting good exposure using spot metering despite knowing how useful it can be, your explanation and tip about the interlocking was very helpful, thank you

[@primal_aperture_photo]

Great tips Chris! Thank you! Have a great weekend!

[@icogicog8287]

Excellent as always. Since I use back button focusing and generally spot metering (I really like it for a lot of things I do) I often decouple focuse and metering so that I can focus on what I want and keep the shutter half pressed once I find the right exposure. That then allows me to recompose and shoot without loosing neither the metering nor the focus

[@markroberts1324]

Great video Chris. I have just purchased an XT-4 so your videos are so useful, thank you. 👍📸

[@wanderingambience799]

[@traceybartlam7737]

Always helpful and informative, thanks. You’re the reason I went back and re bought my x-t30 as a small walk around 9instead of my door). I was confused with it as it was so different however finding your videos has convinced me to keep trying as it’s a lovely camera

thanks Chris, the interlock tip was great! ciao

Thanks you so much for this nice video. Without your videos I definitely wasn't using my camera as I do know! I wish I could donate for your time and sharing your knowledge. Have a great weekend!

[@billsimmons1753]

Thanks for this video. Earlier this year I upgraded from an X-T2 to an X-T4 and I have had issues with some concert photos with dark backgrounds and performers under lights where the performer is almost blowing out. Tonight I almost went insane trying to find the metering modes while trying to photograph some favorite jazz artists in these conditions. I had to severely reduce the exposure compensation to get close to reasonable results and that did not seem right. In the dark I couldn’t tell if I had forgotten which dial had the metering modes. Anyway, as you explained, the problem is I had the eye detect on and deep down the multi metering mode was also active without me seeing that or knowing how to change it. I can’t believe I didn’t pick up on that before. Glad to know better now but aggravated that Fuji set up the menus this way and also got rid of the metering mode dial. Thanks again.

[@UnstoppableBird]

Very helpful videos, thanks a bunch!

[@rodneytopor1846]

I asked a year ago after watching this useful video whether center-weighted metering could be linked to the focus point as spot metering can be. I just did an experiment on my X-T2, and it can't! I think it would be very useful to be able choose between frame center and focus point for center-weighted metering as you can for spot metering. I hope you can use your influence with Fujifilm to make this happen!

[@Teddy-ne3gd]
