SETUP GUIDE for the Fuji X100F // Quick Shooting

[@sombuddhoghosh9103]

I read great reviews of this camera, bought it, and consistently looked like an idiot who had no clue about what he was doing. You changed that. I am gradually incorporating your suggestions into my shooting system.

[@megzjr]

Very crisp and to the point! Your videos are definitely the go to moving forward. Thanks

[@andrewhkim]

Thanks, Sherif!

[@atleastonecat]

This was really useful. I'm looking at a second-hand X100F and as a total newbie it's nice to have a "default" setting that I can then mess around with as I get to know the camera.

[@toscana6457]

Excellent thank you! I’m going on holiday soon & will be taking my x100f as well as my XT4 & your video is just what I needed.

[@PhilTheDilf]

Nice video, man! I’ve dialed in your settings and will try them out as I think we have similar taste. Back button focus is also a fantastic option. I find it much faster then the other modes.

[@andrewhkim]

I use back button focus on my other camera. Maybe I should try it out on the F 😆

[@ivans_in_danger]

Love the QL-17 in the background.

[@franborrero]

thanks for the video from the future

[@camloff]

So nice to hear from you.

[@James488ODS]

Thanks Andrew. I learned a lot.

[@nunofarizo]

Well, now I need to see what you do with that anamorphic adapter! Have you published a video yet?

[@joeywachs3281]

Great video and vey helpful. Could you please let me know where to find those preset filters on Lightroom as the same in the camera? Thank you.

[@djliomaliaslimic]

hello Andrew... the stettings you are talking about at 12:00 : do you use them for every mode (cc, astia, ...) ?

[@andremaion]

Looking forward to the video about anamorphic adapter

[@andrewhkim]

i'll try to work it in soon.

[@PriestBeats]

Such a beautiful camera !

[@whateverjustposting]

god damn it i want to see more of that anamorphic adapter on this thing

[@Hello9901]

How do we do the custom functions? :) thank you

[@ScotHacker]

OK, this is embarrassing. I've had the X100F for almost two years and didn't realize until seeing this video that there was a grayed-out "MY" entry in the menu navigation - I hadn't seen it or thought about it since it's permanently grayed out. But it wasn't for you! How do you enable or activate the MY entry?

[@andrewhkim]

Go to: Menu -> Wrench -> User Setting -> My Menu Setting Start adding items to My Menu

[@ScotHacker]

@@andrewhkim Aha! That totally makes sense. Much appreciated, thanks.

[@alexalast1038]

So helpful! New subscriber here 🙋🏻‍♀️ just recently bought this camera, will definitely try this settings.

[@andrewhkim]

Cool! It's the best!

[@rahulchakravarthy2246]

You motivated me to go ahead and get a x100f just for the same need of capturing my family’s moments... wonderful videos. I’m split about the processing software - everyone says Lightroom sucks for Fuji format files and that capture one is the way to go BUT I want to get Lightroom because I want to use negative lab for scanning my film and it is a Lightroom plug in. What are your thoughts on using Lightroom for Fuji files? Thanks in advance!!

[@andrewhkim]

I use Capture One working for others. My own work, I prefer LR due to the easy management. People say C1 has better colors, raw processing, etc. But you’re basically pixel peeping at that point. The majority of people won’t care as much as you do. So it’s a balance…do all that extra effort for what…yourself? I don’t knock it if you do. But as you get older you realize life is a balance of choosing your battles on what to spend time on. I choose to keep things simple and learn to be happy with the results I get from LR

[@thanghoa95]

This cam allows you to trigge any cobra flash having slave mode at 1/4000 speed thanks to the leaf shutter

[@truenorthmuskoka9077]

How is this camera for night shots. How would you set it up.

[@NishantSamant19]

Nicely explained, thanks!

[@andrewhkim]

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@ScrappyPoontachat]

Hi thanks for the video, regarding Film Simulations, do you apply them before you shoot or can you apply them after you have taken the photo, and view the different looks.

[@andrewhkim]

if you shoot raw, you can process the different simulations in-camera, after you shoot. you can also do that in Lightroom. but you need to shoot raw.

[@lyndenwilliams9817]

Thanks for this man.

[@andrewhkim]

Glad to help!

[@TheMontanafew]

Focus draw. Half press on focus point and move to frame. Only way to control focus

[@RobMatthews21]

where did you get the great step?

[@storywork4388]

could you recommend anamorphic lense adapter to use with x100f? Thanks

[@andrewhkim]

I have the SLR Magic Anamorphot-50 1.33x. But it’s a little big. They have a smaller Anamorphot-40 1.33x that might be better.

[@storywork4388]

@@andrewhkim Thank you so much. Any lense for x100f you recommend?

[@andrewhkim]

Yea just get the $12 JJC lens hood on Amazon. Then just use the filter adapter w/o the hood.

[@vuralhm]

Hi, I have olympus omd em I and 12-40 2.8, Do I need x100f? Thank you

[@yuidfbse]

Andrew, which of the 2 Anamorphic Adapters listed on your video's description do you use? The Anamorphot 40 or the 50? They both screw-in directly to the 49mm thread while still keeping proper auto-focus operation? And regarding the vignetting/cut-off, it happens on both the 40 and 50 models? Thanks a lot for the video😊😊😊

[@andrewhkim]

I have the 50 model which is for bigger lenses. I just got the bigger one bc I intended to use it on other lenses, but saw someone had used this combo. Im sure the 40 would fit and be better for handling balance, but considering I’m getting cutoff from the 50, it might be worse w/ the 40

[@sagewolfson4411]

how do you create your own menu?

[@kaeru_sami]

Awesome video, recently found your channel and I must say you're videos are really nice and cozy. Would you recommend the x100f as the only camera to have or would you recommend getting a DSLR? I've been shooting with a Ricoh gr2 and want to explore something new. Thank you!

[@andrewhkim]

Thanks! To answer your question, I guess it would all depend on your situation. Generally, I think it can do very well as an only camera since it's what I use for most of my day-to-day shooting. However, for paid work, I do have other cameras that would be more suitable. If you're regularly doing paid work, I think it's the perfect 2nd camera. But that doesn't mean you have to own a DSLR. If you have paying clients, you can always budget it in, and then rent what you need based off of those jobs. Sometimes it takes a roundabout way to realize how good it is...as in, if I hadn't had the experience w/ using a whole host of different cameras, it would be hard to truly appreciate what the X100 series camera is. In the end, there's no wrong answer. Nothing is permanent. If you have a curiosity, then go for it. You can always go back. The profit/loss in doing so is merely the cost of education and experience. :)

[@kaeru_sami]

@@andrewhkim thank you for an awesome answer! I'll do a bit more thinking and then decide! I'm leaning on x100f though! Thank you.

[@ChaChaCafe]

Would these settings apply to the X100T as well?

[@ramamoh795]

please help!! i followed your setting and set my camera to raw and compressed, when i transferred them to my computer it won't open and when i downloaded lightroom to open them i had to pay and i can't afford the subscription. is there any solution on how i can uncompress the images or how i can open them without resulting to such softwares, please help i don't want to lose the pictures

[@andrewhkim]

Don’t format. Send me an email and I’ll help you out

[@MrSodaBelly]

Can you burst shoot?

[@Kevin-tl4zw]

Thanks man!

[@andrewhkim]

👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

[@WildBeret]

can I use focus ring to focus in auto mode? I got only zoom with the ring

[@andrewhkim]

Yes. Go to Menu -> AF/MF -> AF + MF to “ON” Then you have to keep shutter button half pressed while using focus ring to manual focus

[@WildBeret]

@@andrewhkim thank you thought this is not possible :) my x100F is.new but the battery is really weak it is new I got power usage on standard lcd brightness to middle and I am shooting lcd and evf I get maybe like 100 photos

[@WildBeret]

@@andrewhkim I have Panasonic GX80 wanted something premium but now I am not sure if this is camera for me , the lack of IS makes nightshots such a hussle also autofocus is bad in low light

[@davidlemon]

Andrew, where did you get that strap?

[@andrewhkim]

Gordy’s Camera Straps

[@davidlanning2]

Can you link the strap as well?

[@davidlanning2]

And what color correction do you apply to get shots like the one at 11:38 ?

How to charge a Fuji x100 in camera

[@andrewhkim]

use the USB micro cord

[@maggieh.9948]

In my opinion, this camera is so perfect for street shoot. The only gripe I have is at F2.0, the image is way too soft and the lens doesn't focus very close.

[@andrewhkim]

true. the X100v fixes the close focus issue at f/2. but either way, i don't think you really need f/2 at close focus anyway (except low-light conditions). stop down to f/4.

[@AlhambraDream]

Nice video. Which lens protector are you using? Is it UV filter or Circular Polarizer? I heard that Circular Polarizer filters should be used in digital cameras instead of UV. What do you think? kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3u2k4lvaNiVfas he says it is not necessary. Dunno which one to go for.

[@andrewhkim]

Circular Polarizers affect the image. UV filters not so much. There are times you want a CP and sometimes not. I use the UV filter more of a physical protection, rather than trying to filter out UV light. I'm using the JJC Lens Hood w/o the Hood part - amzn.to/3axTMkC and a B+W UV Filter - amzn.to/2Rdhmvm

[@jaimesantos5150]

I stop when you turn the dial to Auto.

[@andrewhkim]

This is my setup for quick shooting. Cheers!

[@jaimesantos5150]

@@andrewhkim nice!

[@slav_2000]

Very unprofessional, at all. To keep ISO on auto, means that in that case you can set all the rest to Auto too. The same strange suggestions about fix 4 hole. This camera is built to never use Auto mode everywhere. This is the camera which is built to force you to use only manual settings while shooting. And to get to the orgasmic feeling with every shot.

[@andrewhkim]

it has an orgasmic mode?? i'm missing out! 😝

​@@andrewhkim a whole tutorial on how to shoot in auto. come on.

[@andrewhkim]

Vicente Manssur It’s my settings for daily shooting. First 15 seconds of the video states that right away. You’re welcome to create a video of your own style!

[@regadenoson]

It would be nice if you could speak a little more slowly and not just skip blithely over things that have nothing to do with simple focusing. The manual for this camera is not easy to parse and I was hoping with this particular video that you would just address the focusing issues. Not the various other difficulties inherent in the x100f.

[@andrewhkim]

This is my setup guide for quick shooting. As in being able to shoot quickly from an off or sleep status. And is how I shoot most of the time. What’s specific focusing issues do you need help with?

[@Digigrlny]

You don’t buy a Fuji to shoot in auto

[@HogbergPhotography]

Red filter is fun for landscapes, but do NOT EVER use it when shooting people, that ghostly white skin you get looks horrible and amateurish! Flickr is flooded with those kind of crappy bw shots. Green filter is best when shooting people, but even that gives a too bright and unnatural skintone, the only way is to convert to black and white from raw, using mostly a blue filter.

[@shawnchase2009]

What are the d-ring protectors you have on your camera? Thanks!

[@andrewhkim]

They’re rubber O-rings that you can order with the Gordy Strap. Or you can just get a pack from Home Depot or something.

[@mexicomax77]

Andrew H. Kim great video i subbed! Are the O-ring really necessary ? I always fear that it affect picture quality with flaring etc...

[@andrewhkim]

@@mexicomax77 are you talking about the black filter on the lens? if so, then just get a good quality filter like the B+W UV Filter amzn.to/2Rdhmvm
