Get incredibly sharp photos with any Fujifilm camera!

Are you struggling to get sharp photos with your camera? Well look no further in this video I'm going to share with you some tips on how you can get sharp photos with any Fujifilm cameras whether that's the Fujifilm X100vi, the XT5 the XS20 the GFX100ii. These principles will work for any camera that you own. We're going to take a look at your shutter speed, iso, and as well your aperture. I'm also going to share a sharpening trick that I use in Adobe lightroom to finish it off.

Thanks so much for watching.

I have never understood masking in Lightroom until I saw how you used it in this video, I am going to experiment on it more. Thanks for this video, Tounge!

1) ISO: Lowest ISO possible to get the finest grain.
2) shutterspeed: higher is better to prevent blur of movement: Never go below 1/60 of a second shutterpeed to minimise handshake or use a tripod.
3) aperture: Open up you aperture to let in more light and detail in the exposure (small f stop)
4) flash: use a flash to get more light and push your settings further particularly for a low ISO high shutterspeed combo (works outside also)

Already the very first tip: this is completely depending on focal length.. on a wider angle lens, you can easily go below 1/250th, especially if that means you can shoot on a lower ISO. A good rule of thumb is: don’t shoot slower than the double the length you’re shooting. For example: if you’re shooting 23mm, don’t go below 1/60th. If you shoot 50mm, stick to 1/100 or above, etc.

Hey frickin cool kids! I forgot to mention that lens choice also plays a crucial role in getting sharp images, along with nailing focus. When using a manual focusing lens, you need to be hyper-vigilant with your focus. With autofocus lenses, it's best to use SINGLE POINT AF instead of Auto Focus Continuous. Of course, there's more nuance to this, but I'm simplifying it for the general audience.

hey man, I've had the xt5 for more than a year but your video has really helped me a lot! Thank you and keep up with this content :)

[ShakirahHill]

This was comprehensive and easy to understand. Thank you so much!

If you have a modern camera start with a shutterspeed of at least 1/250 then use auto iso.

I shoot mostly strobes, inside studio as well as outside. Got GXF50s and GFX100s. ISO100, SS is 1/125, hand held, never had an unsharp image. Been with the GFX for 6+ yrs now. Maybe a couple where the model moved and 50s couldn't handle it due to its slow AF. Outside shots at f2, f1.7 mostly.

With the advent of 40 megapixels on the XT5, and of course doing street photography, I find it best to use auto ISO at higher speeds to get sharper images. Or should I say more depth the field. This is good when you’re using a 1.4 lens.
I found this to work well when you don’t have time to make adjustments.

I’ve just bought a Fuji XH2S so this video has been very useful with my Fuji F1 .4 33 mm. Thanks for the tips bro.

I'd add two things.. IBIS and OIS Don't help with motion blur, just camera shake, stick to 1/250 when doing portraiture (without a flash)
Also disable IBIS and OIS when on a tripod.

[KarlGutowski]

@2:26 You get the lowest noise and highest dynamic range at the camera's base ISO. On most recent Fujis, that's ISO 640. Going below base ISO lowers the dynamic range of the camera slightly. This is not a big deal when saving raw files, but it impacts JPEGs and it especially impacts video. That's why F-Log forces you to film at ISO 640 or higher. You get the cleanest image with highest dynamic range for the camera.

IS THERE A WAY TO APPLY AND ADJUST THIS KIND OF SHARPENING MASK IN CAPTURE ONE AS WELL? WHAT YOU DID: JUST SHARPENING THE EDGES A BIT?

[KingofStreet]

Funny enough I found my self shooting at F3 1/250 a lot since I started to main Fuji over my A7III. Film sims is what swayed me.

[abchappell]

That was a wonderful video presentation. Thank you so much. 😊

[PolarBlairGaming]

The 1/250th shutter speed isn’t always possible, when it isn’t, use the focal length rule:
If you’re shooting with a 50mm lens, double it (100), and use that shutter speed (100th of a second)

You can double any lens focal length and get a sharp image if you’re at that shutter speed or higher.

Bright sunny Algarve gives me such a bag of mixed feeling emotions ehehe! I'm for northern Portugal (Porto), and even with such a small country our weather changes a lot from north to south! And you can only envy that bright sunny algarve and long for summer :D great videos! thanks a lot, keep it up

Amazing video and tips as usual. Love your videos! If you title your video "on a Sony" camera, you would get at least 3-5 times more views, likes and subscriptions.. That is so sad though, great content but less views and reach because there are simply way more Sony/Canon users than Fuji users.. Even though the principles you are teaching will apply to any cameras.. But anyway, stay true to your calling! 😄😄😄

Great video Brodie🔥🙏🔥🙏thanks for the sharpening tips. 🙌🙌🙌

I find the XT5 and 35 1.4 doesn’t have the same magic as with older sensors. Have you noticed ?
