Incredibly simple video! But that is what makes it SOOOO good and so easy to follow. Such clear presentation in a logic step by step process. Thank you!

Fuji should hire you! First, I was planning to buy for canon m5 and looking for reviews on m5 but I bump to your videos, It changed my mind and bought X-T20 instead a week ago and I'm loving it so far! (Canon DSLR user here)

[jaspervos]

Thank you so much!!! I just purchased an XT20 after selling my Canon equipment and testing many cameras.
As a typical Canon dinosaur, I did not feel to confident in using more sophisticated AF modes. This video really

[fabregons]

i think this is the most comprehensive tutorial video about X-T20 AF out there. great video, Omar!

[jamesila]

I've got the XT2 but this was the best explanation of how to set autofocus for my camera. Many thanks

[MishuAR]

Finally someone who explains the focusing modes in a clear and understandable way! Thank you!

Oh man, last night had to reset my settings, and what a nightmare figuring out what to put back. Thanks to Omar, I tried changing something, but didn't quiet understand the function. However, I went ahead and made the change. I changed the "Preview Exp, white balance". That didn't work out for me, until I played your video again a few times and assigned it to a custom button. You can actually shut it off and turn it on, on the fly, by holding the assigned custom button down a second or two. That's so great to have that setting, particularly when shooting with off camera flash, and your stopping down, to suppress the ambient. Anyhow, thanks.

Omar, the fact you have only 70, 000 subscribers is an absolute farce mate. You basically got me into photography and also to buy the xt30 and I'm a pretty guff photographer to be honest. But your videos keep me pushing and trying to achieve things I couldn't before and you do it with style man. So, I salute and than k you for your efforts. Top, top man!

[setnes]

Your X-T20 videos are awesome. Thanks for making all of these!

This is great Omar, I've had my T20 about 3 weeks and have been puzzling over the focus modes. The manual was not much help, nor were the Fuji videos and other videos I saw. Yours is just so clear. Having watched it several times it's slowly sinking into my head so tomorrow I'll play around and hope I've got it.

[JersonLasmana]

Just bought X-T20 and all your videos help me a lot !! Thank you :)

[tc]

Bless you. My A6300 may be returned... I wanted the X-T20 but went with A6300 as I, nor salesman, explained this well for the Fuji.

[rossmiller]

I know it's an old video but I have just bought an X-T20 to go alongside my X-H2 and it's a great combination... great video, and yes, some of us do watch motorcycle racing 🙂

[alexlubahn]

I just wanted to say thank you for all your videos! Super informative for a beginner like myself, I really appreciate you!!!

[stevefoster]

Omar, Thanks for your detailed video, better than any paper or pdf manual. My new xt-20 is only 2 days old & raring to go!!

[daveetrice]

Watching this again in 2019 to assist with my X-T3. Great video!

[DougPardee]

Nice, but I think it needs a follow-up covering phase-detect AF vs contrast-detect AF. The big squares and the small squares, and the change in Wide/Tracking when you combine AF-C with CH (switches from CDAF to PDAF). Also, AF-S focuses with the lens wide-open, but AF-C focuses with the lens stopped down to the desired aperture, and if the f-number is too high for the PDAF sensors the camera uses CDAF instead. (A lens that focuses more slowly than that 18-55 will really show the difference.)

[jennzay]

Thank you for this tutorial! You made all these modes make sense!!

[natanx]

"who goes to motorcycle races!?"   🤨

i do.  
its actually why i bought a camera in the first place.  ha!   made me laugh...a little.
loving your tutorials mate.  really has it all sink in and come together
with plenty of "ahh huhhh!" moments. after hours of reading the manual more than a few times. 

cheers Omar.    keep'm coming!

[Danothemano]

Thanks for the great tutorials! I got my X-T20 yesterday and was falling asleep reading the manual. This is so much better;)
