The Best Camera Settings For Street Photography

=============================

=============================
=============================
When you do candid street photography, you would want flexible settings, so in this video, I show you how I, with my Fuji X-T3, have made my custom shooting settings.

My street photography camera settings:
- Maximum ISO of 1600
- Minimum shutter speed of 1/250s
=============================

And from there, I use my aperture dial to control the depth of field.

I was born in Mexico City 61 years ago and I lived there for 49 years: most of my life. I'm glad you're enjoying the city and its wonderful people. I enjoyed your video specially when you were struggling in giving a good explanation about exposure. At the end you did a good job while explaining it! Greetings from Toronto Ontario, Canada where I reside since 2008. ¡Viva México! 📷👍🏻

I'll use aperature priority and area focus point for street portraits: it's the fastest and efficient way that I've found. If there is an interesting scene or I'm sitting and waiting by an interesting view, I'll go to focus point. I mostly use continuous auto focus as I have a camera that has detection across the screen.

Awesome video! I'm self taught & have a difficult time with the more technical side of photography. You explained things in such a clear way and your examples are really helpful. Beautiful photos from you as well! First and only Youtube Channel I've ever subscribed to!

Perfect summation of how to meter while streetshooting. You covered digital as well as film. And suggested getting aperture and shutter priority knowledge before making the leap to full manual. This was a very good mini tutorial for beginners. And a good refresher for a seasoned street photographer. Great video.

First time I watch a photography tips video and understand everything mentioned. Frederik, you're a great teacher.

Don’t worry! You made a lot of sense when you talked about the shadows and highlights, bro. Thanks!

Hey Frederik! Just wanted to say that you've inspired me to improve my street photography and also try taking street photo vlogs just like you! Just wanna thank you for inspiring us amateur street photographers

[Brian-mpbg]

Love you part at the end on exposure... which is basically the Zone system, which I have been trying to put into practice.

Great video!

Just found your channel Frederik. I'm an amateur photographer. I'm mainly using aperture priority I don't have time to change all the settings.

recently picked an X-H1 with XF 18-55 and love it. my composition is pretty decent, but my technical understanding of settings is pretty limited. you explained certain things in way that made it easy for me to understand. thanks for sharing and love your images.

Hi Frederik!!! I find you a very brave man waking on your own through the streets of Mexico, great videos... I just set up my XT3 to the settings that you said on the video but how do I have to set the dial to be sure that the camera applies those settings? Best regards

@4:22, you want to understand how film cameras work.. Based on 18% grey and why we used a grey card to set exposure. When the scene is too bright the camera wants to balance exposure. What you can do is lock exposure and recompose keeping that exposure, ie shoot in manual exposure and use auto focus to focus. Search the term exposure triangle, reciprocal shutter speed rule

Great video - Made me laugh - Do you ever use Zone Focusing for street photography when shooting film?

[untilnexttime]

What metering mode you use and how do you expose for the highlight? Do you use spot metering on highlight and press AE lock and then recompose? What's your way?

[lyingeyes]

Finally! Been waiting a while for this one👀
I usually just shoot full manual -with my Fuji light meter. More control👀

[annasurian]

Thank you.. Love the way you deliver.. Hope you do more like this... Im almost frightened of my camera and have no confidence..

[MobilityForFighting]

LOL - My stomach turned when you walked away from the camera

[rturas]

Very useful and easy to understand. Thanks man, keep doing what you're doing!
