This is great Omar, I've had my T20 about 3 weeks and have been puzzling over the focus modes. The manual was not much help, nor were the Fuji videos and other videos I saw. Yours is just so clear. Having watched it several times it's slowly sinking into my head so tomorrow I'll play around and hope I've got it.

Omar, the fact you have only 70,000 subscribers is an absolute farce mate. You basically got me into photography and also to buy the xt30 and I'm a pretty guff photographer to be honest. But your videos keep me pushing and trying to achieve things I couldn't before and you do it with style man. So, I salute and than k you for your efforts. Top, top man!

@googo151 4 жыл бұрын

Oh man, last night had to reset my settings, and what a nightmare figuring out what to put back. Thanks to Omar, I tried changing something, but didn't quiet understand the function. However, I went ahead and made the change. I changed the "Preview Exp, white balance". That didn't work out for me, until I played your video again a few times and assigned it to a custom button. You can actually shut it off and turn it on, on the fly, by holding the assigned custom button down a second or two. That's so great to have that setting, particularly when shooting with off camera flash, and your stopping down, to suppress the ambient. Anyhow, thanks.

@DougPardee 7 жыл бұрын

Nice, but I think it needs a follow-up covering phase-detect AF vs contrast-detect AF. The big squares and the small squares, and the change in Wide/Tracking when you combine AF-C with CH (switches from CDAF to PDAF). Also, AF-S focuses with the lens wide-open, but AF-C focuses with the lens stopped down to the desired aperture, and if the f-number is too high for the PDAF sensors the camera uses CDAF instead. (A lens that focuses more slowly than that 18-55 will really show the difference.)

It's always very didactic while being funny. I just upgraded myself from a X-T10 to a X-T20, partly thanks to all your tutos. (PS : Am I the only one who read Single AF at 6:48 differently than single auto-focus 😅 ?) (Especially when coupled with single shot )

Thanks for the great videos, they are so informative. I was finding the X-T20 to be kinda small so I recently got the Fuji Hand Grip MHG-XT10 for my X-T20, it makes so much difference to the handling, plus it brings the tripod screw mount inline with the lens while still giving access to the battery and memory card, it is expensive though for what it is, but I think its worth it.

This is the most helpful presentation of the fugi AF system I've seen. How would you compare the fugi AF system to the Sony a7iii system in terms of ease of use and focus effectiveness? My initial thought, after seeing this video, is that the fugi system is less complex. Any thoughts? I'm an amateur and considering getting either an xt3 or a a7iii (or possibly a a7000 when it comes out). Any thoughts you might share would be helpful.

@plasmadlite8661 7 жыл бұрын

Here I am, coming back with one of the most noobiest questions ever regarding autofocus. After hearing it's a more accurate way of shooting, I've started using the AF-L button for back button focusing in single mode, but I'm not sure where the focus is kept once I release the button. Even though I hear the beep, the square goes from green to white, and the AFL indicator with the green dot turns into AF-S. The fact that when using the screen to choose the focus point keeps the AFL indicator leads me to believe I should only press the shutter release only when I get the green light (or square, respectively). Could you please clear this basic thing out for me? So far getting a decent shot has been mostly a question of luck... Thank you so much!

Hi Omar, excited to have just received an X-T20 here! Coming from a DSLR, I am surprised about the behavior of the selector buttons. Mine is set to Fn, but I think it would have been awesome if there was any way to toggle the behavior to focus as soon as the EVF is activated. It just makes more sense to me that I would want to adjust critical focus in such a moment than fiddle with settings. What do you think?
