Hey man, I think I responded on Instagram. I think it’s the sound being on and it has to be turned off. That happened to me once. I turned off the sound and it worked after that. But I still have to check my xf10 and I’ll double check.

Hi! I use Final Cut Pro. But these days if I’m going to do slow motion I record at 60 frames per second and then slow it down to 24 frames in Final Cut. I hope this helps.

Thanks for the compliment on the photographs. It made me go back and watch the video :). I used both in pretty much every segment but the first segment is more xe4 heavy, the 2nd and 3rd segments are really xf10 heavy and the 4th segment has quite a few xe4 images with it getting really xf10 heavy towards the end of that segment. For a while I’ve been thinking about doing a new series called “commentaries” where I take images that people bring up in the comment sections and I make a video telling the story of that photograph as well as sharing the settings and camera used to make those shots. Anyways. Short answer is both :)

I’ve used it while hiking many times. It’s lighter than the x100f and it’s a great carry camera. That being said, because I have an xf10 which is much smaller and has a 28mm full frame equivalent lens, I end up taking the xf10 on hikes more often than I do the x100 original but I do prefer the images and user experience of the x100 over my other cameras. It’s slower than most of my cameras but I love it. Also, when I take this camera hiking, I’ve used a camera strap while the xf10 I’ve put in my pocket. If you don’t mind having the camera on a strap or you can always put it in your back pack if you take one with you. I hope this helps.

@@sarifoto Thank you.

Thanks so much! When I made this video I thought it would be really helpful and then it seems no one ever watched it :) thank you for watching it and I’m glad you found some value in it.

Thanks so much, I’m so glad you found value in these videos. Have a great rest of your week 🙏🏼

Yes that’s it in a nutshell.

Oh I’ve never tried the Samsung Mx mini but I’ve seen it and I’ve been really curious about it. But as far as the xf10, I love it also. It such a fun little camera to shoot with. I’ve never tried the digital zoom but I’m gonna try it out. I’m curious. I didn’t realize it would upscale the image in camera. That’s good to know! Thanks!

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it. I’m glad you enjoyed the photos and content. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Hey! Yeah, I think I know what’s happening. I think you may be using the film simulation bracketing mode. You’ll have to press the drive button and select the very top option. That should take care of the issue. Let me know if you have any more questions!

I saw this comment on another video and just answered there but a quick recap… I think you may be using the film simulation bracketing mode. If you press the drive button and select the very top option it’ll put you in a regular single shot mode. If you have any questions let me know and I hope you’re enjoying the xf10!

Yes, I record all videos (except for anything I record on my phone) in 1080p and then I upscale it so that when I upload to KZfaq the 1080p looks the way it’s supposed to. Otherwise the compression that KZfaq applies will squash it way too much.

@@sarifoto ah makes sense thanks for the reply!

Yeah, anytime 🙏🏼

Congrats on buying the xf10. It’s a super simple camera but for point n shoot situations it’s so great. I’m glad you enjoyed the photos. It was such a nice bike ride that afternoon. Anyways, thanks for subscribing and I hope you enjoy the xf10 as much as I do.

Hi, yes, I just left it in auto for this recipe.

@@sarifoto awesome, thank you for such a quick reply. love your work!

Thank you. I appreciate that!

Oh man, that sucks. I’m sorry to hear that. I would probably just assign the flash to button on the right and the flash compensation to the top button. Aside from snap focus I don’t really use anything else anymore. But I do use snap focus and the flash the most. Do you have a screen protector on your screen by any chance?

Hey Bryan, if you’re aperture is the only thing that adjust then you’re probably in aperture priority. When in aperture priority one dial changes the aperture and the other changes the exposure compensation. When in manual, one should change the shutter speed and the other aperture. If it’s in M and the dial on the far right of the top end of the camera isn’t changing the shutter speed, try putting it in aperture priority and seeing if that same dial changes the exposure compensation. If it doesn’t do anything in either of those modes then the dial may not be working. Hopefully it’s just something as simple as switching it over to M and not the latter. Let me know if you figure it out. Or send me a message on Instagram and I’ll send you a video of how it works on mine.

Yeah, I love the colors that come out of that sensor. I don’t know for sure but I think it has the same sensors as the xe1 and the xpro1 which produce some amazing colors even though they don’t have a lot of simulations. I love the colors from my xe1 so if it’s the same sensor I can see why that camera could be amazing.

I think what happens is that when multiple people make videos about how much they love a camera, other people start buying that model and the prices go up. It’s crazy to me that the original is more expensive than the S. I think it’s crazy that all of the X100 series are so expensive still. I’d love to buy another x100 like an S or a T but there’s no way I’m paying $700+ for it. You did the right thing buying the S in my opinion. It’s a much better deal.

Yeah, I’m exactly the same way. Whenever I get bored or I’m stressed, taking a camera with me on the streets or for a long walk does me a lot of good. As far as the xf10, it’s a perfect camera for this type of photography as well. And you’re right, nobody even notices it most of the time. Have a great day or evening and I hope that photography continues to bring as much value to you as it does to me.

@@sarifoto thank you! i just got the camera and that would be helpful! but no worries if not :)

Ok, I’ll try and look for them either tonight when I get home from work or tomorrow after work. I’ll message you when I have them so that I can send them to you Instagram or whatever medium you’d prefer.

Thanks so much!! I appreciate that! Yeah I think I like the BNW ones a bit more as well. Anyways, thanks 🙏🏼

Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it! Lake Iseo is great! I’ve only been there once but I enjoyed my day there. And yes, for sure, some things are just much better when they can be shared. As far as the lenses. Yes, you understood correctly. Both lenses for lake como and just the 27mm for Milan. Because the pace felt more relaxed at Lake Como I figured that taking the time to switch between the 18 and the 27mm lenses would be fine. In fact when I got on the train and looked at the images from lake como on the back of the screen, the scenes that I capture on both lenses were so similar that I just figured I’d stick to one for Milan where the pace is a bit faster. It happened to be the 27mm but when I go back in few months I may try only using the 18mm or perhaps just with the xf10 or the x70, just to close the loop so to speak. And as far as working in Milan, that sounds like an interesting experience. A few years ago I flirted with the idea of moving there but in the end I decided to come back to California. Anyways, I hope you’re well and thanks again for chiming in.

Thanks so much Carlos!

Hi Christine, yes of course. As far as aperture I had the lens set wide open at 1.2 and I had auto iso set with exposure compensation set about a quarter to half a stop underexposed. I shot the images in this video in raw and then I used a preset that I use for my black and white images. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Hey! So you want to do Classic chrome Highlights normal Shadows hard (cause on the xf10 it doesn’t use numbers for highlights and shadows) White balance: Auto For white balance tint shift just put both channels at -2 Color leave at 0 Sharpness +2 And noise reduction at 0 you can bring it all the way down if you prefer a heavier grain look in higher iso conditions. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions

Hey Jen! Happy new years! Thanks so much. I hope all is well

That’s a really awesome comment and I appreciate it greatly. I was hoping to convey the things I wish I would have known when I started and maybe subconsciously I was also hoping to show that gear is important but that the desire to grow is even more important. Anyways, i appreciate the comment. I hope you’re well and I wish you and yours an amazing year to come 🙏🏼

Yeah, mine stopped working a few months ago and even though I have new cameras and the x100f, I still miss my original x100. It’s crazy how that works

Yes, I agree. Well hopefully we can both get our hands on an x100 original soon. Have a great week and a happy new year to you and your family.

If I’m not mistaken, when I started shooting there were no android phones. They came later. So I tarted with iPhones because that’s what I had. After that I just just upgraded. But I’d have no issues with shooting with an android phone. I’ve actually always been curious about the galaxy series. But in the event that I wasn’t clear, the point I was making is that good photographs can be made with whatever you have. iPhone or android, Sony or Fuji, canon or Nikon…. it doesn’t really matter to me. As long as I get to document life. And that was the point of this video.

Ciao!! E da un bel po’ che non utilizzo quella ricetta però credo che per quella foto ho utilizzato la simulazione Classic Chrome e poi o messo il white balance in automatico con la tinta messa a -5 nel canale rosso e -4 nel canale Blue. Le ombre gli ho messo a +3 e gli alte luci a +2. Se non mi sbaglio questa ricetta funziona alla grande nelle situazioni in cui c’è la luce diretta del sole. Comunque, fammi sapere se hai qualche domanda e grazie mille per i complimenti 🙏🏼

I mean that you get far away to only capture 3/4 of the subjects body. So for example… from the top of the head down to the top of the knees. But really as long as you place your subject close to the center you can probably get some really good images. Let me know if this makes sense or if you have any other questions.

Thanks so much for that comment. I really appreciate it and your comment is really meaningful for me. This video was definitely a special one for me and the things I talked about in this video were huge game changers for me personally as well as in photography and it’s nice to know that they’ve affected someone else in a positive manner as well. I hope you’re doing well Matt and that you’re enjoying your holiday season. Thanks again and take care 🙏🏼

@@sarifoto thank you and I hope you have a great holiday season!! Keep up the great work! 🙏

Thanks man. I appreciate that. You as well!

Yeah, these are great little cameras if you don’t mind slowing down a bit. Recently or in the last year or so I’ve done a lot more zone focusing than in previous years and this makes the camera much faster for travel in the moment type of stuff. For everything else where I’m just hanging out with friends or on photowalks I just shoot at f2. As far as the JPGs on this camera, I absolutely love the Provia and astia files with a little contrast added to them afterwards. Enjoy your break and I hope you have fun with this little beast of a camera.

Hey! Yeah you can totally do this on the x100v. You might have to tweak the colors a tiny bit. I have the xe4 which has the same sensor as the x100v. I’ll give it a try in the next few days. So -2-2 refers to the tint shift. So -2 red or -2 yellow. Or whatever the options are on the xf10. I don’t have it with me and I’m on the road now but on your x100v it would or should be reds -2 and blues -2. So you would basically shift your white balance tint two notches to the left and two notches down. I hope that helps. If it doesn’t let me know and I’ll make a KZfaq short on how to do it. And I’m glad you like this recipe!!

@@sarifoto Thank you! I will try, It's Astia for the film, right? I think a video short would be excellent, the XF10 is very rare, but almost all of us have an X100V haha

Ok, I’m gonna try and do that. I’ve been a bit behind with shorts or with videos I’m general lately. But I’m gonna get on it. Haha. Yeah, the x100v is pretty rare these days as well it seems. You’re one of the lucky ones who got one. I’ll keep you posted. As far as the film simulation for this one it’s classic chrome if I remember correctly. Have a great weekend and I’ll let you know once the short is up

Yes!!! I completely agree!!

Yeah, I’m continuing to experiment with lighting as well. I find that often times it’s often times a similar concept as using natural light but then we run into the paradox of having too many choices :) In any case, I hope you’re well Dave. Have an amazing weekend 🙏🏼

I’ll keep that in mind in the future.

Thanks man. This is a really motivating comment. I really appreciate it. I just recorded a talking part for a video where I answer someone’s question on how I choose what cameras I buy, use or leave at home. I’ve been struggling with consistency lately due to some life changes but I’m hoping to start posting regularly soon. Anyways, thanks again for the encouragement and I hope you’re well man.

On contrary, thank you for your comment. It’s encouraging Have a great rest of your weekend!

Hey man, I’m actually using a jog recipe in Lightroom that I apply to my fuji pro standard jpg’s. I started making a video on that process and haven’t finished it. I have one more huge deadline I have to meet and I’ll start posting again that being one of the first two or three videos in the pipeline. I’ll also, sell a version of it on my website but I’m still a ways from that. But I am shooting everything in fuji standard park with no adjustments other than that simulation. Or eterna on my xe4 (it’s the only camera that has eterna but on the rest of my cameras it’s fuji standard)
