Fujifilm Exposure Compensation Dial

[@maxdoes_]

I feel like I go into every one of these videos expecting to already know about the topic, and every time I walk away having learned something new.

[@juancarlosplaza8301]

I feel exactly the same!! And I always learn something new.

[@miguelosvaldo]

that's just what I was about to say. it's awesome.

[@FlatulEssence]

I agree.... I learn alot from these videos.

[@malcolmtice175]

Absolutely spot on !!! Thank you.

[@LimitedWard]

That's exactly why I clicked!

[@Enrique-the-photographer]

Thank you, now I understand what the dial is controlling, and as I always say, with Fuji tutorials you’re second to no one. Stay safe.

[@r.in.shibuya]

By far, one of the best Fuji channels on KZbin... Hang in there you’ll get to your 1M subs.

[@chrisstone9837]

All the years I've been taking photos and understanding the exposure TRIANGLE, I've often wondered how this FOURTH control called exposure compensation worked. What kind of weird magic was it doing that shutter, aperture and ISO wasn't. Great explanation Chris.

[@rohandrummer]

Hey! Your channel is my go to for all Fujifilm content. I love your enthusiasm, keep it up. Love from India.

[@pal2tech]

Great to hear! Thank you so much!!! 🙏

[@paulasimson4939]

You answered my burning question - what is the ECD actually changing and how do I choose whether it's ISO, aperture or SS. Soooooo happy now!

[@MauroCippitelli_MTB]

I’m italian, but your speach for me is clear as italian!!! Love it! The most important things, however, is that your tips and explainetions are the best, for Fuji owners, in the KZbin world!!! Everytime I watch your video I learn something new… 👏🏼👏🏼

[@haroon420]

Within first minute I learnt my problem. Recently bought my first proper camera. Whilst having fixed shutter speed and aperture, I was wondering why the exposure adjustment dial was not changing anything. Now I know!! Thanks!!!❤

[@cokeandtwirl]

How did I miss this first time around (or did I, I’m getting old!). I missed the ending as I was rushing around getting my camera out of the bag and playing with the dials. Essential viewing for Fuji owners as usual!

[@pal2tech]

Thank you so much!!

[@sclogse1]

Considering my indifference to the exposure comp dial, your information turned my head 180 degrees. These are very jazzy camera bodies. And your level of knowledge is excellent.

[@cosmashono7665]

That dial confuses the hell out of me. Thank you very much for this tutorial

[@pal2tech]

You got it Cosmas!!! 👍

[@BuzzAdven]

I was so confused too. I thought it was to more fine tune your exposure some how.. haha.

[@mangochuy]

I've watched many of these exposure compensation settings for Fujifilm. This is far and away superior. Thank you.

[@gauthierleclair]

I always wonder what this dial were doing because I never used it and why I see him in every fuji sim recipe , now I know. Thank you very much !

[@tuanformamoru]

As always, I found the answer in your channel. Thanks for your continuous contributions to Fujifilm's community.

[@paulofernandocosta2075]

you are helping me a lot after I bought a Xt3. You are very nice and a special person for your interest in helping people. Amazing lessons.

[@mydemon]

This channel is exceptional. No two ways about it. I'm stunned by how much I'm learning in each video.

[@pal2tech]

Thank you so much!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@homecareful]

I didn't see the purpose in the EC dial. I always shoot in manual mode. You solved my mystery seconds into the video. Now I understand, thanks. BTW you a natural at this, very engaging and you structure the communication well.

[@jamespiper8736]

Chris, I have learnt so much from your videos. Fujifilm is life! Thank you 🙏

[@pal2tech]

Hey James, thank you so much pal!! 🙏

[@balajiHN24]

It's more than 18 months with xt-3 but barely used this dial. Thanks Chris for very helpful video.

[@damiancanteros]

OMG! Why would somebody click on the dislike button. People are crazay. Keep up the awesome work!

[@relaques666]

The value of these videos is outstanding, I always learn something new about seemingly mundane components of a fujifilm camera.

[@jackcopland8556]

Chris, thank you once again for a most comprehensive explanation of one of our camera dials not included (at least in understandable format) in the Fuji manual. I hope that Fuji will consider putting you on some form of payroll. Your insights are always greatly appreciated.

[@irfanchooify]

Thanks for your sharing, I owned a Xe3 more than 3 years now, recently bought a second one as my B roll. Never use the camera full potential, thanks so much again.

[@JuanKis]

Wow! I have been using Fuji for a very long time, shot most manual and had no idea about this! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS!

[@pictureframe2104]

Only channel where someone makes sense 🥹

[@joebrennan1272]

That is the best explanation of the Compensation dial I have ever seen. Well done Pal2tec.

[@CKamera23]

I'm actually going to buy a fuji camera because of this man...do the right thing fuji if you are not paying this guy.

[@livemoksha]

You have the best tutorial videos for Fuji X users by miles! Thank you.

[@michaelschmitt5413]

Fantastic !!! So much info in less than 10mins !!! And thorough too !!! THANK YOU !!!

[@michaelschmitt5413]

I tried these features on my X-T2 and they worked as you described. But when adjusting on my X-T20, the front dial doesn't behave the same way. Could you explain the differences?

[@URSENIORUTUBER55]

This video deserves more than a like this video deserves stars and*because the lesson given is very important and very necessary for the proper function of the exposure compensation procedure on a Fuji ex model camera. Thank you so much for this very valuable tutorial. Rusty ironmike

[@frankfavale3872]

Chris, this is the second time I've viewed this and I understand it so much better. Thanks

[@ksnmurthy4476]

That's a fantastic explanation with beautiful demo.cleared all my doubts why sometimes exposure dial won't work? Thank you so much.

[@anthonyfong4922]

Thank you. I have just recently migrated from Nikon to FujiFilm. Your videos have truly enhanced my understanding on how FujiFilm cameras work and how to best to use it.

[@pal2tech]

Great to hear! Thank you for letting me know!!!! You ROCK Anthony!! 👍

[@anthonyfong4922]

@@pal2tech Thank you. You ROCK.

[@KevinRusso]

That was pretty comprehensive on a simple control knob. Nicely done. for the record, I'm of those people who can't live without it and question those who never use it.

[@pal2tech]

Yeah, I'm finding that I'm using it more and more when I just don't feel like going full manual.

[@fredbloggs545]

@Kevin Other people may adjust one of the three sides of the exposure triangle and not bother with the EC dial. I would not judge somebody who never used it, I'd judge their images.

[@IvanFioravanti]

Thank you! Great explanation! I’ve just joined Fuji X-T4 world recently and your channel is the best source of info! Greetings from Milan!

[@nickdaawgg]

Just leaving a comment to let you know I found this video very informative, fun and useful. I appreciate this.

[@Pixelpeeps-69]

Wow your a genius!!!! Your tutorial videos are simply amazing and Fuji should definitely pay you 👍 I was always thinking why did my shutter speed always went too low whilst in auto when I used the compensation dial!! I’ve been using Fuji cameras since 2015 and couldn’t understand why my shutter speed kept dropping even when setting the minimum speed in the menu as well!! I’ve asked a lot of Fuji KZbinrs and x photographers who just couldn’t solve it ..

[@ericzager6548]

It goes to 5! I always learn something new! Thanks once again.

[@cmar6268]

As always, the best photography tutorial/explanation on KZbin!! A true professor! Bravo to you!!

[@neilyakuza6595]

Nice video, right to the point. Most you tubers talk for two minutes or more before getting to the subject. A grey card will fix help with exposure. Expose for the grey card, and the rest of the tones fall into place.

[@kevinlynch8614]

Once again, a fantastic tutorial. Now I know why I've never used the exposure compensation dial, I'd always worried I wasn't making the most of my camera, it's because I always shoot fully manual, so I've never needed it. But at least I know how to use it now if I ever were to shoot in a priority mode...

[@MrCruzazul2000]

Thank u so much, i already bought an xt4 and your videos are very useful

[@droneservices8993]

There is so much about this camera that I learn from you. Thanks for all the great videos.

Thank you so much!!! 🙏 🙏

[@ElectricRick]

I am one of your new subscribers and I might actually have to get a Fuji camera after watching your wonderful videos. Thank you

[@tonicanabate6232]

Woow I did not know about the C option in the EC dial. It is fantastic, thank you

[@cactusprick]

Thank you so much for explaining this, after stepping down from Nikon, I'm at sea with the dials!

[@pal2tech]

You got this!!

[@matt.huskey]

Thanks for the refresher class. I appreciate your willing to share and teach what you’ve learned. Keep up the great work.

[@marklaurendet1861]

Thanks for another very detailed explanation, Fuji has so many good settings that one could very easily overlook. Even something a seemingly simple dial has so many useful alternative ways to use it.

[@gregm8392]

Well done again. Chris this is the best Fuji "How to? What is this?" I came across. Thank you.

[@pal2tech]

Wow, thanks Greg!!! 🙏

[@miller1520]

I love Fuji cameras and I own one. But the compensation dial on the Fuji camera is the one I cannot get used to, ergonomiclly speaking. I like how you solved it. This is excellent advice, thank you!

[@number6705]

Well, you are amazing. I thought I knew everything about my X-T4, but you once again taught me something new. Thank you, keep it up.

[@AlgisRakauskas]

Every single video is very interesting and educative. Watch them with pleasure. Thank you so much!

[@nizam_sensei]

I have been in trouble with exp comp dial not working all the time Sometimes the solution is that simple. 😂😅 Thank you very much sir.

[@stephenschmid492]

Excellent, Chris. That point about choosing the proper "role" for the front command dial was very helpful.

[@cris_photography]

Have been using Fujifilm cameras (I used every single iteration that came out) for 6 years professionally and I never - ONCE - had to use this dial. I knew what it was for but was intrigued by your video :) great video, love how you explain things. Keep it up!

[@jacobus6206]

I thought I already knew everything but this video shows a lot of new things to me thank you

[@maxbashyrov5785]

did I just hear "exposure triangle"? oh-oh...

[@joebrennan1272]

You are the best !!! finally I grasp the workings of the ex/comp dial.

[@habanosrus]

You need to setup a Patreon account or Fuji needs to pay you. You are the absolute best source to understanding X Trans cameras. Good job sir.

[@pal2tech]

Thank you so much! Yeah, I'm thinking about setting up one soon. The channel is running in the red LOL!

[@GrowWithTrung]

Wonderful explaination! I have learned, watched many videos from KZbin and you are the 2nd one who has told viewers how to use it properly. I have used the dial the calculate the light that I want to expose my picture then check the speed. Lock the speed to that value and I can take portrait pictures with the same light condition without changing any speed, iso, ap everytime.

[@1Patient]

I plan on using the Exposure Compensation dials and histogram as often as I can to help with, hopefully, resulting in better photos and videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@herrk.8612]

"freaky" complete Explanation .... i LOVE it... !! Thx for that :-) Greetings from Hamburg Germany

[@yuppietrashlife4344]

perfectly explained ..... Just bought the XT5 .

[@joemctague4467]

Again thought I knew all about that dial. Wrong! Well done sir.

[@ddessert314]

I sometimes use the EV dial to take advantage of ISO invariance and still allow the camera to automatically expose (RAW) photos two stops lower than it normally would, then adjust exposure in post processing. Often with wildlife photos where I’m trying to shorten exposure times and freeze motion as there’s no time to manually adjust the settings.

[@homesavvytech]

This is by far the best camera tech explanation I have heard. Liked, subbed, and looking forward to upcoming videos.

[@othomophoto8433]

Thanks for the great info. I'm usually shooting in manual 90% of the time. However, due to changing scenarios and having to avoid changing settings on the fly I'm exploring using aperture priority and your video has brought much clarity.

[@GregGolightly]

this was a very well-done video. Thank you. It clearly explains something that is not understood by many - including me. I knew how the result worked - change the exposure. But I did not understand how logical it was - it is "just" changing one of the 3 parts of the triangle.

[@johnporfirio8749]

Thanks for all the fantastic videos!!! You’re the best ... and I watch em all

[@alainpc23]

Great explanation! Love your videos, man. Fujifilm needs to put your videos on their site so more people can better understand their cameras and the exposure triangle as well.

[@1cookgs]

Another highly educational video. Thank you very much for helping me understand the Exposure Compensation Dial. I use it often, but, I did not understand how extensive the options are. Also, my favorite Fujifilm camera is my X-T1. There is something magical about the X-trans 2 sensor. I have not advanced to shooting videos and the X-T1, with all its updates, produces beautiful still imagines. Actually, I like the look better than my X-T2. Long live the X-T1!

[@richw.6296]

Okay. Thank you. I almost always shoot full manual. Now I know why that dial does nothing when I accidentally turn it! Thanks!

[@outwithsara70]

Great content. Very informative, as usual. Well done Chris. You really deserve the success you have. Hi from Italy, Rosaria

[@julian.torres]

The video was awesome and now I understand that I don’t ever really use the exposure compensation because I always shoot in all manual 😅

[@mikeli20002000]

[@qin1992]

The exposure compensation dial with AE lock under single point metering mode is my favorite way to find the exposure when shooting black and white or under bright sunlight. Set to +1 and point to the highlight area, press AEL, correct exposure every time.
