[maureenhanson]

Amazing explanation. I’ve had this camera for 3 years but still learned sooo much

[natalieweir]

I’m a total newbie to photography and was just gifted a fujifilm x100T … this was immensely useful! Thank you 🔥

[IanMcCausland]

hands down the best video explanting the many options for focusing on these amazing cameras! THANKS!

[gohumberto]

Excellent, succinct, explanation. Thank you.
Fuji's implementation of back-button focus in Manual mode is genius I think. It makes zone-focussing so easy and makes the camera super responsive. I generally just tap the rear AF button when pointing the camera about 4-5 metres in front of me, that gets me a perfect "Street" zone. At f/5.6 and 1/250th I just let auto ISO run to 12, 800 for the ideal Street walkabout.

Thanks for the understandable narration ... Especially, the fact that you have used English subtitle is very useful for audiences whose phonetic English doesn't sufficient like me.

[RHMs]

Thank you so much! I’m new to photography, and the X100VI is my first camera. I’ve learned a lot from you already.

[КсенияК-йд]

I'm often troubled with focus if Fujifilm. Thank you so much for explanation! Now it is clear!

[rgwightman]

This was awesome. Have been shooting Fuji for 6 years and this is the best and clearest explanation of focus on Fuji. thanks !!!

[backwoodstrails]

Excellent tutorial, coming from film medium format cameras, with only manual focus, this was extremely helpful!

[richthofen]

The best Fujifilm focus mode explanation by far. Well done!

[justinoff]

Thank you! I've been doing this a long time on a commercial studio level and the X-2H menu is maddening

[sclogse]

The X-H1 arrival last week has had me scouring youtube for these. Although I have the T-2, and can get what I want for my simple needs, the power demands on the X-H1 has made me want to make it as efficient and smooth as possible. (Face eye detection off, slower video focus transitions, etc.) These videos info have trickled back to my T-2 understanding. But even after all the youtubes, this is the first that let me know I'm supposed to hold those afc and afs buttons down while focussing. Superior channel!

[tayuanlee]

I am new to Fuji and am so confused with these AF options and how they behave. You are an excellent teacher and make the topic so easy to follow and understand. 👍Thank you so so much! ❤
