The tip for manual focus override is priceless. Thank you so much!

This might be the most underrated photography channel on YT. I don't understand why you don't have 500K subs! Your content quality is always fantastic - informative, inspiring, practical. And your delivery, demeanor, and narrative style are absolutely top-notch. Bravo!

[@Farhan-jh9xo]

This video was super duper helpful! I just got my X-E4 a week ago and played with some 40 shots. The quality is amazing for this price point. The film simulation from Fuji is just beautiful.

[@nickjessel7759]

Thank you for this video. As a Fuji newbie this has been very useful. Especially the swipe function personalisation. I will rewatch this a few times I think.

[@annalarge2437]

Fantastic video - thanks so much - I am a FujiNubi and did heaps of research, was concerned about the overminimalism cons but took the plunge and your guidance has really made me less concerned and overwhelmed about where to start with my settings when my new baby finally charges up! Thanks again.

Very good video Samuel, not only informative for beginners but also for those that already owned a Fuji. I'll probably buy me an X-E4 soon.

[@dummatube]

Incredibly informative and concise! Thank you SO much - I’ve shared it to my clients!

[@dummatube]

Great video - thanks! I also set the ISO to a ‘swipe up’ (where a dial should be) and I also set the three focus mode options to ‘swipe left’ as that where they would be on my X100 cameras. ‘Swipe right’ for white balance and ‘swipe down’ for film terms.

[@foxdavani4091]

I've been using Fuji for years. I don't know why youtube brought up your video since you're teaching beginners but I found your video a very refreshing reminder of things that I can adjust but don't usually think about. Such as I forgot the user menu even existed. I've been manual going through settings and it takes long but I'm gonna start using my user settings again. So wonderful video my friend. Wunderbar mein Freund

[@Jason-pk7sd]

I just picked up an X-E4 and this video was so so helpful!! Thank you! Love your channel keep up the great work!!

[@barrymayes6712]

Great video! I’ve been with Fuji for 10 years and can say this is one of the best pieces of advice on how to assign controls to buttons (I like the idea of screen swipe for some settings) and how to get quick focus. Focusing with Fuji remains an issue for me, constantly focusing on the background etc. If Fuji made the XE3 with a flippy screen this would be perfect for me. I dislike the swivel screen on XT4 because it alters the centre of gravity/axle and really slows down street photography. I love my XH1 but keep hitting the Q button by mistake. I love using Russian lenses and Lens Baby on my XH1 for IBIS. Great video. Thanks.

[@venom2k2]

Moin in die Heimat! Danke für das geniale Video mit bester Unterhaltung. Super Humor und Details, wie zB die wechselnden Aufforderungen im Hintergrund. Zum Glück hat mir YT endlich deine Videos vorgeschlagen. Sofort aboniert und glotzen. Weiter so!

Nice! 💪👍

[@AnoshterHaar]

Finally someone that understands the problem of not having a physical af mode switch. It is such a bummer. It will always be a compromise on this camera. Which makes it the actual only problem I have with the xe4. Now if the camera did have a switch but lack the other more known function buttons/dials like the xe4 lacks, that would be a compromise I would be able to adapt to and overcome. But now it both has a lack of buttons and makes you have to compromise other functionality and fn buttons to just switch focussing modes. Which juuuust makes me doubt the camera a little too much... Thx for the video and not just downplaying the importance of such physical button!

[@noisackda2564]

Just bought an X-E4. I nkow talk about late to the party but I just wanted to say this video has been a great help so think you :)

I enjoyed your video of the overall guide with the settings that you personally use. I don't own any Fuji digital products except a Fuji medium format 645 film camera and it was my go to camera for traveling with it's fixed lens. Super sharp optics that always made pleasing images. So I've always been curious how they're digital stuff is like. Thanks for the video. I'll do more research to see what I end up with.

Thanks for this. Great stuff. So nice when another photographer (who actually photographs) explains this stuff, versus just a gearhead. Damn this setup looks sexy, especially with that lenshood at the end. I'm probably not the only one who wonders which one that was. Was it the one by Squarehood? Take care, inspirational dude

I see that it isn't the squarehood one so now I'm really curious. Is it the JJC?

Love your videos Samuel! always chilled with nice music and this one has been especially good at helping me understand how to use my xe4. can you tell me how you change the exposure time from anything between 2-30seconds. Without the front dial it's tricky! Thanks and all the best from Australia!

[@gafleet]

Terrific video, thank you!!

[@LyndonPatrickSmith]

Great review and tips! Minor point, I think “All” under your AF options doesn’t let the camera choose what’s best (that’s what “Wide” does); rather it allows you to cycle between all AF options via the command dial. It’s actually pretty handy once you get the hang of it. Great channel and images!

[@RadBadTad]

THANK YOU, I changed to All because of this and I love it!

"all" does not give you 425 focus points!(only 117)!Single point gives 425points!

Thank you so much for this video. I think, this one and the other about using Fuji x-e4 for video are those points where I finally made my mind and decided it's a totally right thing to prefer buying this camera instead of buying Sony a6400. The possibility to customise the camera this way in addition to a beautiful picture it gives (I don't like Sony's aesthetics at all) - I understood I will love fuji. Thank you!

[@Guairenito]

Very nice tips, thank you for this video

[@SivertAlmvik]

That focusing tips was great. I forgot you could use this technique after I switched from Canon DSLRs to the Fuji X-system and started using back-button focus exclusively. I used this technique all the time with my 5D MKII (focus on a subject and then reframe with shutterbutton half pressed, and keeping it half pressed until I was done).

[@bobmay3936]

Brilliant. Thank you so much Samuel. I am a big fan of Panasonic bridge cameras and am finally learning to use them properly! But I am curious about the benefits of larger sensors and more portable cameras and have just bought an XE4, partly for sentimental reasons as most of my film photography was done with a Fujica ST605 SLR, bought in 1977! As per, bewildered by the FJ XE4 menu (having partly mastered Panasonic's), I found your video very useful, particularly the disabling of the touch screen!

[@richnewman]

Wow, I really appreciate this video and all the information. I've been looking hard at Fuji for a combination street photography/short film camera and this looks like the camera I want/need. Has all the functionality I love in the X100V for stills, but the addition of interchangeable lenses, and the core functionality I wanted for video from the XT-3/4. When I shoot short films I'm always on a tripod or gimbal and using manual focus, so I'm not really missing anything with the lack of IBIS. Can't wait to get this camera!

[@SamuelStreetlife]

Awesome! Glad to know my video was helpful to you! The X-E4 is definitely capable! But one thing I haven't experienced till making this video is overheating. With the X-E4 you need to be a little careful when shooting 4K. The camera overheated for me once when I had the camera out in the sun on a tripod and filming for 1 hour straight. When recording shorter takes you shouldn't encounter that problem. So make sure to turn the camera off between takes if you plan to shoot in the sun or warm days!

[@richnewman]

Thank you for a great video. I have just ordered an X-e4 after fumbling about with a Lumix GX9 and various lenses for a few months. I'm brand new to Fuji so not haunted by the absence of much loved features. This video is very helpful in terms of familiarising me before I have even received my X-e4. *subscribed*

[@timspencer289]

Update: I received my X-e4 today and Ihave crawled through this video numerous times setting my camera up exactly the same as yours as my starting point! It was so much easier than trying to use the manual. :)

[@loushared6602]

I have the same set up, the Lumix GX9, which I absolutely love. I’m so tempted with the X-E4 to complement my GR3, the primary reason being, I miss a viewfinder. I’m new to any Fuji as well. What are your thoughts so far?

[@timspencer289]

@@loushared6602 I feel sorry for my GX9 but I do much prefer the x-e4. It can pull focus faster when shooting people striding past at close range (if that's your thing) (It's my thing) Having the shutter speed on a mechanical dial, and an aperture ring on the lens (probably available on some Lumix lenses but not my three) makes control so much easier. Pictures are sharper. A lot more detail. I can crop into my xe-4 shots in a way I could not with the GX9. Black and white photographs look more like anologue shots than harsh digial files. Film emulators on the xe-4 are really good. I love my GX9, but it's no match. It shouldn't be though, at the grand old age it is, and at less than half the price. Xe-4 all the way for me. Haven't touched my GX9 since.

that half press the shutter release is fucking genius! Awesome workarounds. Learn the tool instead of complaining, complaining... I hope they will make an xe-5.

The US is opening too soon and the case numbers are not going down. Hubris. Got to love it.

[@JeffWernerIthacaNY]

The S-AF/MF dual mode with peaking and keep-your-finger-half-pressed-on-the-shutter-button technique is how my Olympus camera works too. It feels awkward but works, and you can use manual focus but also don't have to push any buttons to suddenly auto-focus on something different. Hmm... thinking about switching away from micro four thirds to Fujifilm, but money money money.

[@GrahamConnor]

Dude my camera was due to ship yesterday, now delayed until 11th! Can't wait for it though. Nice video.

[@bartoszpajak2285]

Good review. And there are several “way arounds” the missing controls, but it’s annoying Fuji just skipped them. If the camera was 100€ more expensive to get that buttons and switches, most people would hand the cash over happily.

[@gradurbandesign]

Regarding focusing: try to disable auto focus and use back focus button for auto focus only. This way you dont need to keep your shutter button half pressed.

[@cambodianrefugee6305]

[@neglectedloves]

Very good and informative video! The only thing I can't get my X-E4 to work is the AF+M setting with focus peaking: I have set my AF to S, the AF+M is on and the MF assist is on high white. I can now lock AF, keep the shutter release half pressed and change manually the focus, but the focus peaking is NOT visible (in neither colour).... do I have to activate anything else 🤷🏻‍♂️ thanks

[@Uydanh91]

Man ich hoffe du kehrst bald wieder zu Fujifilm zurück und machst in Zukunft auch weiterhin Content Fuji bezogen!

[@paulinfrancis]

Interesting. I am currently reading up on Fuji cameras, and haven’t decided what to get yet. Way back when I used Nikon SLR cameras, I always used continuous focus, and the rear button to trigger it. The shutter release was used solely for taking the picture. I liked always having the possibility to track moving subjects. Do you see any downsides of this configuration?

[@foryoshi]

Great video as usual Samuel ^^ and well notice about that stupid dioptic dial that has no lock and can easily be rotate while carrying the camera on your shoulder or other, it is been such a damn flaw on every fujifilm cam that has that viewfinder on the side and even those center sometimes, and no more back dial... :(

[@JoseRamirez-cd7ge]

Thank you Samuel, Can I ask you which one has a better experience for street shooting the X-Pro 2 or XE4? Thank you for your kindly response. your answer can help me to take a better choice.

[@marksalt3742]

Hi Samuel. Great video. would you prefer the Fuji X100V or the fuji XE4? I'm a little torn. I have the XE3 and love it . I also own an Xpro 2. I currently don't have a 35mm equivalent lens and I owned a fuji x100f and stupidly got rid of it. is the new 27mm lens as good a performer as the X100? you make a great case for the Xe4 as a street and video camera.

[@stephanedubarry8624]

Excellent

[@5to522]

Thanks for the video. I'm going to get the camera soon with the 50mm f2 to pair with my X100V. Is that the 50mm on the camera in the video? I wanted to see what the size would be like because the XE4 is a pretty small camera.

[@thedanyopang]

great video! Have you had any heating issues with your XE4 for recording longer videos, I'm thinking of using it for talking head videos and have heard it may shut down due to heating issues around 15-20 mins of recording. thanks!

Hello! Great content, funny background messages! New subscriber.

Hi Samuel. I would like to use the XE-4 for travel ad landscape photography using a manual Voigtländer lens. Do you think that this is a good idea? Or should I rather use another body for that use case?
