OMG that drive lock thing is a life saver! I can't remember how many times I've had my camera (X-T3 before and now X-T5) in the bag and the drive mode dial had moved to something other than single shot and I only noticed it after taking one shot. This video is really helpful, thank you for making it and thank you for using such a chill background music that makes taking on the information easier with the calm environment.

This video has been immensely helpful! The combination of AF-C and tracking AF works really well on my X-T3. I won't have to fiddle with my focus point on the street anymore. Thanks so much :)

One thing I really like about Fuji is how you can turn on or off information around the screen. A few weeks ago I almost switched to Sony and one of the things I immediately missed was this ability. They do have a button to switch between view modes, some with LOTS of info and some with minimal info. But the ability to just turn off individual things is so nice!

I am just holding my brand new XT5 in my hands and was hoping for some inspiration on YT. But this video not only truly inspires me but actually relaxed me totally - thanks to the great tone of your calming voice and the curated back ground music. Really appreciated!

I didn't even know I could lock the still/movie and shooting mode dials. It drove me mad evrytime these dials moved when changing my exposure setting. Thank you so much

One of the things that I do for the ISO range is set the Minimum shutter speed to 200-250 so it never drops below that usually helps with the motion blur.

I've been shooting with Fuji for many years now - but I've learned a lot again today! Above all, I think your tip on how to block functions is fantastic (even if it doesn't work consistently, e.g. not with the dials). I'm definitely in favor of a simple, functional camera that doesn't get in my way when I'm shooting, but supports me. Thanks for this and the many other excellent videos! Greetings from Switzerland.

Nice video as usual Faizal. I tend to shoot in the same modes - especially aperture priority however you are missing a trick by setting shutter speed to auto and then set the base shutter speed in the auto ISO setting - let it bottom out at around 1/250 (or whatever) and then your only variable is ISO. It will only drop below that if there is too little light and the ISO has maxxed.

Just got my first Fuji yesterday. I find this video helpful because I work with Nikon system. Fuji is awesome! It want to take images non-stop!

I'm impressed I've found someone who shoot Astia. Everyone always shoots classic chrome, and it's the only simulation I don't use at all. I hate it, so it's hard to relate to other fujifilm content.

your videos are always a unique experience

Thank you for your calm and wise words!

Great video, thanks! But one thing: You set AF + MF ON for a reason. But if you do that, focus priority switches back to release priority, which can provoke more unsharp photos. I think, this should be mentioned for people, who are wondering about unsharp photos then.

Thank you for this great video! Just got the X-S20 and these settings feel like a solid starting point. I really enjoy your videos overall! 😊

Great video Faizal 👍gonna try some of this stuff 🙂 wish Fuji would implement a 4:3 aspect ratio in the menu 🙁

nice video and I want to try some of your settings to see how they work for me.

Great vid, thanks! I'll be coming back to re-watch this one.

Thanks for the useful video! I’ll definitely come back to this when I get a xt5 myself.

Thank you, Faizal. You are a blessing. 🙂

This video definitely helps me going into the fuji system 🙌🏻

i use a canon 1Dx 2 for street photo, but i always like hearing you talk about camera stuff. thanks.

Very educative and valuable as usual from a true artist .

Excellent video ! It's impressive how everything it thoughfully set. That helps me, even if this if for my X100V :) Thanks a lot for the Debussy's Arabesque at the end. One of my fav composers ever.

Your video is really helpful to me, I always use Canon, its my first time using a Fujifilm.

Great video. Very well done as far as explaining things clearly. Thanks

this is SUPER helpful, I just got a XT-5, coming from a basic Nikon dslr camera, so i was pretty lost...

Nice work, useful insights.

Love the vibe you’re transporting in your videos^^ And of course, thanks for sharing your thoughts and perspectives about your settings ☺️

Love the music. Debussy? New to Fujifilm, tips are very good. I'm learning.

Absolutely ❤️❤️

Hi, thank you for this tutorial. However, could you suggest what settings to use when shooting from the hip? Thank you.

Great video and I dig the flag in the background at 15:27“

How do you decide when to shoot black and white over color? Or do you change that in photoshop or something?

Just discovered your account. Great Videos. Very much like your calm style. Thanks for sharing.

i like how you fiddle with the exposure compensation at the end of the video after explaining it doesn't do anything :))) great video keep it up

5:18, love it.

Cool tips! I never understood what the point of back button focusing is? What is the benefit, really? You still need to press the shutter button, so why using two different buttons instead of a single one?

Excellent, thanks for this topic.

Nice video, Faizal! Very simple and straighforward. Even though the fewer buttons on the xe4 seemed a negative at first, I find I'm focussing more on the aspect of taking pictures instead of dealing with dials/buttons. I'm also very curious how you set up your xt5 for video. Are you planning to do a video on that too?

Hey Faizal, love your videos 🫶🏼 Wanting to start my photography journey and not sure what camera to purchase, what would you recommend for a beginner? Thanks!

Can you please do a review or a hands on video on the new sigma that you are using

Hi Faizal! Great video! Can you share your AF-C Custom Settings too? Thank you in advance! 🙏

Great video Faizal, even though I don't own a Fuji anymore I came for the pictures and there are, like you said, some things that can carry over different systems so it's always interesting to see how other photographers set their tools. Keep up the excellent work!

Love love loved this video

Thank you man! Been having difficulty to set my fuji, some of the dials ruins my settings :(

Great video thank you

Thank you!

can you do a video about photo editing? That would be so interesting

Excuse me, my X-T5 is in the AF-C continuous focus mode. When the shutter is half-pressed, the brightness of the camera screen will be relatively dim. When the shutter is released, it will be restored. Is there a setting error? Do you have the same situation, thank you for your answer.

Great idea to get rid of all the functions. Specifically I hit accidentally the Dpad on my XT2 all the time. Never considered to assign nothing to it

When I use AF wide tracking on my X100V I see small green focus points.. that doesn't seem to be the case with the XT-5? 12:40

Fab video Faizal as usual. Where di you buy ex-2?

What music are you using in all your videos? Can I have a list? I love it at so much

Should I be using auto focus lock? AF on still refocuses on other things

Learned a lot! I really like the music around 1:45, would you please tell me the name of that song? Thanks.

what lenshood is that on the silver lens?

Bro, I want to ask, how to adjust the ISO aperture and SS settings in photo mode so that when you switch to video mode, the ISO aperture and SS don't change, how do you do it... the problem is that the X-H1 fits even when you move to photo/video mode, the ISO aperture and SS settings remains the same. If the X-t5 switches to video aperture mode, etc. it changes again

In Semi-Automatic, you changed to Spot Metering, then pressed the AE-L lock button and snapped the shutter, but you didn’t seem to press the AF-L button for back button focus, how come?

I can’t figure out how to manual focus when in AFC, I have on AF+MF but I can’t get that to work.

Do you leave IBIS on for the majority of your shooting? I couldn't find this in the video.

would you please explain to me the reasoning behind turning off Interlock spot & focusing area in more details?

Hi Faizal, really enjoyed your video the X-T5 is the camera I'm thinking of up grading too! Out of interest, what lens hood do you have on your 35mm f/2? I like the vent which would be useful when using the X-Pro 2/3 Thanks

Where's your silver lens hood from?

When shooting Aperture Priority Mode on Fujis. Is there a way to set a limit to the shutter speed? (i.e No slower than 1/60s)

Do do you use Auto focus C or S?

Does back button focusing keep focus when you recompose (maybe with a foreground object ) like the AF Lock does?

Hey Faizal, i would like to ask you if theres any, more affordable digital camera and lens what you recommend for streetphotography? Really love your style!

What is the process like switching between photo and video on the T5? Is it pretty seamless to go from photos to shooting in f log, or is there a lot of adjusting to get back and forth? I know you just flip the switch to get into video mode, but I'm curious if there are other settings that need to be adjusted before you can start shooting

do u knoiw that u can use film simulation on raw in capture one ?

Do you use zone focusing when shooting full manual?

Hi Faizal, thnx for the tips how you set-up ur XT5 👍🏼 You mentioned that you use Astia in ur liveview ánd you use it in LR. I also like Astia, how do you make sure that Astia is the setting for ur liveview and how do you apply it in LR when you shoot in RAW? So mainly…what is ur workflow concerning getting the “Astia-look”? Furthermore I don’t have presets (yet) in LR, how/where do I get them in LR, or are they already somewhere in LR? Thnx!

hey ! XF 18-55 mm f/2,8 or 35mm f1.4 for street photo ? thx

Hi what lens do you usemostly for street photography for xt-5?

is that af wide trick with single pt focus/ continuous tracking available for the XT4?

Anyone know where did he get the square lens hood for the 35mm

Hi I have an xt3 and I have a video focusing question I want to be able to Use touch to focus while recording video but when in manual mode it wont let me. When I change focusing to S mode I can touch to fucus while recoding but cant see any focus peaking I want to be able to use Focus peaking and touch to focus while recording in 1 mode, how can I achieve this? Thank you

Hey there! Which lens are u using (square hooded one)

I can't use AF+MF in continuous mode only in MF and Single. Is that the same for you?

What’s interesting is everyone loves that button focus but I don’t so I don’t use it. I’m still that squeeze focus and take Guy. It is been my weigh so I won’t use back button focus but many people swear by it I actually gave it ago and didn’t like it. So I don’t use it. Majority of work I do is landscape photography so I don’t really need to do Back but in focus anyway as I’m off and having the camera on a tripod and then I’m using a trigger remote, but even then when I do Street Photography, I’m not a fan of Back button … He just doesn’t work for me. I never use auto ISO either as I feel the camera doesn’t choose the right eye so is often way too high for my liking.

how do you get these colours in your videos? Flog? Eterna? thanks man

What lens hood is that on 35mm?

Thanks for the breakdown! Do you also use back buttons focus when shooting from the hip?

Hi Faizal, do you use eye detection when doing streets?

Hey! Great work. I have a beginners level question, I don't have fujifilm yet (blame the budget) but I'd just like to know if you use any grid when taking pictures and if so which one do you use. Thanks and I love your photography and videos.

I see you carry your X-T5 on a strap by your side sometimes. Have you considered the Fuji EC-XT S eye cup so it doesn’t press into your body that much?

Great tips! I’ve had my xt5 for about a month and I’m still tweaking the setting but this has helped me get a lot closer to something I’ll settle on. Quick question… do you shoot with your glasses on? I’ve found that it’s actually easier to see the viewfinder with the eyepiece removed from the camera. It allows me to get closer to it while wearing glasses. With it on, I need to be at the perfect angle so the edges aren’t masking the image. Curious if you’ve tried this or have any thoughts?

I decided to buy the XT30 II after weeks of consideration as my very first camera and your videos helped so much! May I ask which lens you would advise for the start? The camera comes in two "Kits", one with the XC 15-45 mm lens and one with the 18-55mm. I would love to use the camera for my upcoming trip to England to shoot villages, houses, streets, churches, the beach. As I am just starting, I don't want to switch lenses all the time. I was recommended to go with the 18-55mm (but they did not have the kit with the 15-45mm in stock :-)). Do you think the 15-45mm would be ok to start or would I never forgive myself afterwards for missing the "better" option 18-55mm? Or would you recommend any other lens over the two mentioned above? Any advise would be so much appreciated! Thank you!

gREAT vIDEo Brooo

I’ve noticed that my X-T5 has a buffer of about a second after each shot when in single shot, so I just keep it in Continuous Low and there’s no buffer. Anyone else have this issue?

Great video! How do you feel about the massive file sizes for RAW from the X-T5? Honestly that’s what’s holding me back upgrading from the X-T2 (I have so many full hard drives 😂)

how do you feel about the Sigma 18-50 2.8?

I don't get it. You actually propose to use 3 buttons (AF, AEL, Shutter) together with spot metering as a point and shoot method, instead of just half pressing the shutter button to focus and lock exposure. Why? Using the back buttons for autofocus and exposure lock is a more complicated procedure for street/point and shoot photography. You also say that you use program mode but your camera is on manual mode on the screen...

X-T5 is one sexy camera 😍

Choke Talker!!

Good Vid, but your voice is like you don’t enjoy what you’re doing😊

Love ur vidéo but stop vocal fry like that pls.....

Fuji users tends to over dramatize their camera settings lens and camera type way too much, too much focused on the gear instead of photography itself.

Why do you speak with a grilled voice ? Actually nobody talk like that, it's an affectation of the voice used by annoying teenagers and rich people. Why ?
