Fujifilm X100V: Zone Focusing Setup and Usage

I already made a video about zone focusing with Fuji-X cameras and lenses and also with old adapted manual lenses in the past, have a look. But with the X100V there is some more to keep in mind and to set up, so today a special video about that.

For the ones who never heard of it: Zone focusing is a method of setting up camera and lens in a way that a specific zone is always in focus. This gives you the advantage that an object that is within this zone will be always in focus when you press the release button. Have fun!

Setting Depth of Field Format to Film makes a HUGE difference. It wasn't mentioned in anyone else's videos while setting mine up for zone focusing. Thanks!

[gregpantelides]

Thank you, Jay! This a very clear guide.

After watching several videos on this subject, I think this may be the best video on zone focusing with the X100V. Thank you so much Jay, danke schön!

One of the best videos on this subject, relating the method to a specific camera model gives it even more value, taking the viewer into the specific setup for the method is very helpful, any photographer familiar with whatever camera they use, can transfer most of the settings he discusses to their make and model

[begazi]

Again very useful and outstandingly well explained!
Hope your channel will keep growing!

Thank you for making and sharing the tutorial. Stay safe Jay.

Brilliant video. I knew all about zone focusing with film cameras but your instruction for the settings was perfect. Thanks & regards.

[JohnChubbSr]

Very helpful, Jay. I just got through watching your other video for zone focusing, again. All the different ideas you're pointing out is helping me knowing what is actually happening. I'm learning lots of different setting, but finding this one fascinating. There is also a huge difference with the film format setting. And, thanks for pointing out the AE-L button. These are really great tips!!!

[rahulbhattacharya]

Very well and simply explained ! Thanks

This is extremely well explained and documented especially important details like the film format vs pixel

[kurtrehbein]

Jay, mate, this is the best video for users/lovers of the x100f. This capability is so well researched and explained. Thank you.

[JohnChubbSr]

This worked out well with my XT3 and now that I have the X100V it is even better. I love this setting!!!

[pocketsquareformat]

I’ve owned multiple FujiFilm cameras since the X-Pro1 and I was not aware of the ability to properly zone focus. This is extremely helpful, many thanks!

Hello from Paris. X100V owner here. Great video. One of your best I think! I really appreciate your explanations. Thanks a lot.

[josipcrncevic]

That depth of field scale option is a game changer. You are the first one mentioning it. Thank you for that. Great content!

[SteffenSchellhaas]

Thanks for this explanation! Very good. Would be great to see some examples while using it.

[praveenghandure]

This is best...As I requested earlier for the same video... Thank you for explaining 😊

[mcconaloguecharlie]

Excellent video learning something new from you much appreciated regards from Ireland 🇮🇪

[willstith]

Thank you so much for this. Just the tip on depth of field scale is worth it alone. I was wondering why my focus area was so tiny. Fantastic!
