So you want to know what the best settings are for the Fujifilm X100V?
What's up guys @reggiebphoto here, and welcome back to the channel. So for those
of you who are new my name is Reggie Ballesteros and I'm a wedding
photographer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. In this video I'm gonna go over
the best settings for the Fujifilm X100V. OK, so I'm gonna level with you - there
are no best settings for this camera or for any camera in general. The truth is
in the world of photography there is no best anything each photographer has a
different approach to their craft so the settings that are the best for me are
not necessarily gonna be what's best for you would that set in this video I'm
gonna go over how I personally set up my fujifilm X100V so I use this camera for
a wide range of different type of situations including professional
wedding photography portrait photography travel photography and of course
documenting my family day-to-day I'm hoping that by sharing my settings for
this camera and explaining exactly why I picked them will help you figure out
what settings are gonna work best for you feel free to use my settings as a
starting point but always do your own experimentation and test to see what
setup will actually work best for you and your working style alright so first
things first I'm gonna hold display back and turn the camera on so we can verify
it what firmware I am on with the fujifilm X100V and that is version 1.0
all right so turning it back on I'm going to navigate and reset all my
settings so that we can stay on the same page as each other okay so I'm going to
reset the camera right here okay so down that we have all the default settings
we're gonna start off right from the beginning and for image size I
personally pick small 3 by 2 so the main reason why I use the 3 by 2 in the small
setting is because I use the JPEGs for my camera for setting to my phone for
Instagram stories but I personally shoot in RAW all the time so I set this to
fine plus raw this lets me send a JPEG to my phone
I need to and still have the raw for editing in Lightroom later on and for
the raw recording I'm gonna set this to lossless compressed as this save some
file space on my memory card but doesn't really sacrifice anything as far as
quality goes so my film simulation of choice is classic Chrome and that's what
I'm gonna set up right here and I'm gonna leave the grain effect offer my
personal film simulation setting so I actually like to use color chroma effect
and turn that to weak this basically increases the contrast and some of the
color saturation of the image for a color chrome effects blue I'm going to
turn that off and for white balance I'm going to leave that to auto but for
color chrome it does tend to have a little bit of a washed out cooler tone
so I like to employ a white balance shift of negative 3 for the blues and 3
for the red this gives a little bit more warmth to the skin tone as far as I
never grain shows I always leave this at 100% because I'm shooting in RAW and for
the tone curve I basically set this so that what I see in my camera is going to
be the same that shows up on my iPhone when I transfer it over and I've come up
with that being +1 for the highlights and +1 for the shadows and the rest of
the image quality settings I set to color at zero sharpness at zero noise
reduction at zero and clarity at zero I leave long exposure noise reduction on
on and I leave the color space on srgb a lot of people think that you should be
setting this to Adobe RGB but this only affects the JPEG image and if you're
gonna send the JPEG images over to your phone then you should leave it at srgb
or else you'll notice a color ship especially in the Reds when you transfer
it to your phone so pixel mapping I don't mess with as this is more for hot
pixels and now we're gonna go to editing my custom settings so here are the four
custom settings that I personally use the first one is a warm version of
classic Chrome the second is the standard version of classic chrome the
third is my black-and-white preset based on a gross and my last is a raw custom
setting that is based on negative standard for a very flat
profile which has a very accurate histogram so going into that the warm is
basically what I already showed you so we're going to go into the neutral and
show you what I have there basically for this one I have classic chrome I have
everything else the same so great effect off color chrome effect on week color
Chrome FX blue on/off and I have the white balance to auto with no color
shift and I have the same thing for dynamic ranges at 100% and they have D
range priority on off with the highlight at +1 shadow at +1 color at zero
sharpness at zero noise reduction and zero clarity at zero and so on as far as
my black and white settings go I use a gross again and I have that set to a
gross with no monochromatic color shifts at all
I leave the great effect at weak and small I have the color chrome effect off
the color chrome FX blue on off the white balance is on auto dynamic range
is on 100% again the range of priority is off and I do have the tone curve to
+1 on these shadows sharpness is at zero noise reduction is at zero clarity is at
zero and the last one is my raw custom setting which is basically geared toward
having a very flat profile just for raw purposes and has a very accurate
histogram so I have that the film simulation on pro- standard great effect
off color chrome effect off color chrome FX blue off white balances on auto
dynamic range is 100% D range priorities on/off and for the tone curve I have
this at negative two on the highlights and shadows at zero this gives me a very
accurate highlight Ordnung as well as a very conservative shadow profile to make
sure that i don't understant color is at zero sharp tests at zero noise reduction
is at zero and clarity is at zero
all right so now we get on to the autofocus settings and focus area is
basically just how you pick the focus point so we're gonna move on to a fo and
I like to set this to all basically what all does is lets you cycle through all
the different auto focus types by just scrolling through the wheel rather than
having to change the mode so for AF see custom settings I typically have this on
set to for most situations the only other time is if I'm taking pictures of
my kids I set it to set five which is for very unpredictable moving subjects
but for now we're gonna leave it at set to our leave store AF mode by
orientation on/off I have the AF point display for zone focus modes on and on
and I leave the number of focus points at 425 because I like to have as many
points to select from I use pre AF on/off and I suggest you leave pre AF
on/off if you want to save battery life as if you leave it on it's going to be
looking for focus even when you're not pressing down the shutter
I leave the AF illuminator on/off and for any time that you use face and eye
detection I leave that on I ought oh so for the auto focus man focus override I
leave that on/off and for the manual focus assist I'm gonna set that to peak
highlight and I'd like to have it on red hi alright moving on I have a focus
check on off and I have interlocked the spot and auto exposure and focus area on
off so for the instant AF setting I leave that on auto focus single and I
have the depth of field scale to pixel alright so the release and focused
priority I leave the auto focus single on focus priority because I want to make
sure that always in focus before I shoot and then for the fast action for auto
focus continuous I leave that on release priority as I want to make sure that
they capture moments and no lag when I'm taking the photo as far
as touchscreen modes I leave this usually on area as I just want to select
the area and still have the half press be the autofocus acquisition and then
here's the corrected AF frame I'm not quite sure what this is I think it's for
the ouvea but I leave that on off for now so sports find the remote I leave
that on/off self timer is on off at this point
save self timer settings I'll leave that on on so that when I do set it will
remember so for interval timer settings I like to leave this at zero minutes and
one second and right when I go over here I like to leave that right at infinity
and then we're going to just start it up just to save that I like to leave it
there that way I can just let it go as long as I want to and then just cancel
it to stop we also have interval timer shooting exposure smoothing on on I
think this is a new feature for the X 100 V so now onto auto exposure
bracketing I like to have this to give me seven frames total at one exposure
stop each so it's going to be three frames overexposed and three frames
underexposed and if you leave this on continuous so I like to leave this on
underexposed first correctly exposed and then overexposed and I'll quickly
demonstrate that for you what that looks like
which is cool is because it does a continuous burst when it does that so
for film simulation bracketing I like to set this at classic Chrome for the first
one classic negative for the second one and a gross for the last one unfocused
bracket setting I don't change anything on that because I don't really use that
for multiple exposure I change this based on the type of photo that I'm
taking at this point I'm going to use additive and for the shadow type I
typically leave this at mechanical shutter so as of right now I have the
flicker reduction on/off but if I do go into any type of settings with indoor
artificial lighting sometimes I will turn this on so for the ISO Auto setting
I'm going to set up the first one and I like to have this at 160 with a top ISO
of 6400 and I like to have my minimum shutter speed at 1 over one sixtieth for
the second one I'm going to do the same thing except I'm going to have this with
a higher ISO limit at one over one sixtieth and this last auto ISO setting
I'm going to set it for something when I need maximum low-light capability and
that's gonna be one over a thirtieth of a second to do the one over focal length
rule so I don't have the convergence lens so that's going to be on off and
the ND filter I currently have on off and then we're gonna move over to the
next thing which is the flash so currently I have the flash on off for
now and the TTL mode is on last flash they have the built-in flash on on just
in case I need to use it alright so onto the movie mode my
default movie setting is at 4 K 16 by 9 and I like to have this at twenty three
point nine eight and leave it that at 100 megabit per second alright now that
way you got that setup I like to set this also to classic Chrome as well as
it is very nice for minimal color grading
and how the white balance set to auto but I do manually set this if I'm doing
any type of studio shooting so the dynamic range I leave at a hundred
percent and then for the highlights and shadows I leave these at negative two
highlights and negative two shadows to have an ultra flat profile for color
grading in post and here I also have the color set to negative four and the
reason why I leave these things very flat and desaturate it is because video
actually bakes in the color and tones into the video so I like to be able to
add contrast and saturation in post rather than having to subtract it in
post so I leave sharpness at zero and noise
reduction at zero I have the interframe noise reduction on zero and f log
recording is also at zero so the focus area is how you pick the focus point and
I like to leave this on area as I like to manually select where I'm going to do
focusing as far as the auto focus custom settings go I leave this at the default
at +2 sensitivity and AF speed at zero and the face and eye detection again if
I do use it it's gonna be on auto so for the manual focus assist again leave this
on red hi and I leave focus check on on this is basically when you enable manual
focus it's gonna punch in a little bit and the HDMI output info display really
depends on what I'm doing if I'm capturing my EVF I will leave that on on
if I'm using a out of most recorder or anything like that I'm going to use it
on off if it's for creative footage and here I leave this at the default as well
as the HD output as also on default and the 4k HDMI standby quality is at 4k I
leave the HDMI record control on on as well so for zebra settings I like to
leave this on and it really doesn't matter if you choose right or left and I
like to leave this at 95%
and on the audio settings I only have the mic level limiter and I turn
everything else off and for the mic remote release I leave this at
microphone because I don't typically use a remote release in the microphone port
timecode settings I don't change and the tally light I have just on the solid
rear light on and I leave the movie silent control on on because I like to
have the exposure settings for movie mode decoupled from the still shooting
settings all right on to the user settings we're gonna set the date here
as twenty twenty three twenty nine eleven forty alright and the time
difference I like to leave this on home as I when I go traveling I don't want
the photos to be out of order language is that English and then the my menu
setting I'm gonna add these items later
so for this sound in the flash we're going to leave this on on this basically
lets the flash be able to turn on we're gonna change the sound in a different
area now we're going to go over to the sound settings and I'm gonna first thing
gonna do is turn off the shutter volume to off this makes it a lot more silent
than the previous that I had alright so now we're going to go in the sound some
things we're gonna finish that right there and now we're gonna go into the
EVF settings so for the View mode I'm gonna have the both the shooting and the
playback on the I sensor and I have the EVF brightness at negative one and the
EVF color I also like to leave at zero color adjustment is at zero and LCD
brightness I like to have that at negative one the reason why I do this is
because I find that negative one gives the closest brightness level to a mobile
phone or an iPhone set at 75 percent brightness which is typically what I
have my screen at so LCD colors at zero LCD image adjustments at zero image
display I like to have that 0.5 seconds I have auto rotate display on on and
preview exposure in mana mode I like to have that
as well natural light view I leave that on/off and flaming guideline I like to
have this at grid 24 as this is the only grid that has a center both horizontal
and vertical line right so I have auto rotate playback on/off as I like to see
the vertical photos in full-screen still I have the focus scale units on feet and
then I have the OVF image display on full so as far as they display custom
settings go for the EVF I pretty much have everything checked except for the
framing guideline the auto focus distance indicator and the exposure
compensation digit everything else I like to have on all right and then for
the EVF LCD I have the framing guideline on electronic level on I leave the AF
distance indicator on/off I have the histogram on and the live view highlight
alert on these are very important for getting accurate exposures and then I
just leave the exposure compensation digit off I like to have the framing
outline on as well
and just to show you basically what the highlight warning looks like that will
show you when your highlights are blown out or not alright so back to these
settings I usually leave the large indicators on/off on both things they
don't really turn that on in general and then I have the information contrast
adjustments to standard so now on to the button and dial settings which is really
the fun stuff so I have the focus lever or setting on on and I have the Edit
quick menu setting to 16 and here are my 16 slots that I use this basically
custom setting out of the focus mode dynamic range white balance and then
here I like to set this to the ND filter image size image quality film simulation
highlight shadow colour sharpness timer face detection I have the flash here and
the brightness and I have the Q menu set to the black background it's a next up
we're gonna do the function button settings which is basically the way that
you can personally customize your camera to be how you want it so I personally
have the function 1 set 2 previews your white balance in mana mode on on and
this is the top one right here and I have the function button in the front of
the lever to be face and eye detection I like to use the swipe touch settings
because I don't have the d-pad anymore so I have the top one set to performance
swipe left set to white balance and I have the right one set to custom
settings and the swipe down set to electronic level and then for the auto
exposure lock and auto focus lock I set that to histogram this gives you a
bigger histogram to look at which is displayed right there
picking this back up and then I have the rear dial set to focus check and the
selector set to ND and the Cuban set to Q so the command dial settings I have
this set to f-stop ISO and none and I have the rear one set to shutter speed
the cool thing is if you set the ISO dial to C and the shutter speed dial to
T you can control the shutter speed with the rear wheel all the way and the ISO
with the front wheel all the way so coming back here we're gonna go to the
shutter AF is on on on both AFS and AF C and the shutter IE is also an on for
both shoot without card I like to leave that on off so that my camera doesn't
shoot without an SD card on it in focus ring is set to clockwise and the focus
ring operation is on non linear and for the control ring setting I set that to
the digital teleconverter the auto white balance and the AEA F locks I set to
switch which is a toggle on and off and the aperture ring setting I have a two
auto as far as the touch screen settings go I leave the touch screen setting on
on double tap is on/off and I have the swipe touch functions on on as again I
do miss the d-pad so I have the touch screen setting for playback on on and
for the EVF OVF touch screen area I have this on right side only that way if I
put my nose the camera right here it doesn't enable the touch screen so now
going to the power management we have the two-minute default with the
performance at to boost and the EVF performance set to brightness priority
and here you can change the save data settings however you like and change the
copyright and author information however for your name and now we go on to the
Bluetooth settings which I have paired to my phone I have the Bluetooth on and
the auto image trance are off as well as the smart phone sync settings off as I
don't like it changing the cameras time based on my phone
and the PC connection mode I set to the USB rock converters slash backup restore
settings and the USB power supply set to on and for the general settings I like
to leave the basically the resize for three megabytes to off as I like to
dictate the file size of anything transferred my phone to the JPEG
settings which I have two JPEGs small and now that pretty much completes my
set up for my fujifilm x100t if this video was helpful be sure to give it a
