NOTE: Regarding SD cards, you can certainly get slower SD cards, such as 90 MBs, etc. Keep in mind that two major factors here are: 1.) burst rate/buffer size and 2.) UHS-I vs. UHS-II types. I think the 170 MB/s 64GB UHS-1 card is a good overall pick because of speed, cost, burst rate handling, etc. and ability to handle 4K video. Remember, the 300 MB/s UHS-II cards will NOT give you the UHS-II increased performance with the X100VI camera. The UHS-II SD cards will still work, but limited to UHS-I speeds when used with the X100VI. This is because the X100VI utilizes UHS-I.

Great videos!
ND filter has a default button shortcut. If you turn and hold the OVF/EVF lever for few seconds it will release the ND filter!
Thanks for all your work!

My experience is, there are enough options that if you accidentally change something it can be days and lots of reading to work out what you changed.

Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 and thank you for this very helpful video, especially for the most important energy theme. BOOST ON! This is essential for the whole camera and I think many new users don‘t know that and wonder that the camera works slowly.

But I have some different recommandations to yours:

11:45: AF+MF ON. Sorry, that has a huge negative impact für AF! If you select ON, you have automatically switched from focuspriority to releasepriority, although you have chosen focuspriority in the menue. So the camera makes more unsharp photos!

12:18: Use the Red LOW to have a narrower peaking field.

Missing: Change AF - priority for AF-C to focuspriority, because the default is releasepriority.

Yours is the best Fuji channel I have come across. Thanks.

I'm sure this is a much needed tutorial for many who just got this camera but I've got to say, I've never had to contend with this mountain of settings on my Leica M7 shooting chrome film! And it focuses exactly where I want it! 🤣🤣🤣

[ramoftherose]

The most reliably informative and straight to the point camera channel on YouTube. Good stuff as always !

Hello Dear pal2tech,
I want to extend my heartfelt and sincere thanks to you. Why? Because I bought a camera for the first time in my life, the X100 VI model. I was very excited while waiting for it, but when I received the camera, I was terrified because there were so many settings and buttons. I wasn't sure how I would manage all of them until I met you here.
I am infinitely grateful to you. Your explanation style is very clear and simple.

I'm so glad you exist.

Once again I find myself indebted to you and your channel, Chris. I just picked up my X100VI after waiting for 6 months since pre-ordering. Following this excellent video has made it really easy to get initial settings made so I can get out and about in London to start getting a 'feel' for the camera. Your videos have always been inspirational, and I know I am not alone in recommending you to new Fuji users as often as I can. I am only surprised that more people don't actually subscribe to your channel. But, as I have said many times before, Thank You and if you ever get over here to London, it would be a pleasure and an honour to meet you and your family and to buy you a slap-up meal.

Such a wealth of info in one video. This was so informative and helpful! Thanks for all the hard work. It's really appreciated.

Very much a beginner - was following along with my new XS-20 and couldn't find sharpness/clarity etc or they were greyed out. Discovered this was because the cameras was in Auto mode. Once I changed to one of the priority settings I could see the options being discussed in the video - which is BRILLIANT!

Great tutorial! Now I just need the camera

[maxharrower]

As always, excellent video!! I’m fairly experienced with Fujifilm Cameras having used Fuji for several years, but I’m always guaranteed to learn new things from your videos. Looking forward to more tips on the X100VI.

Thanks Chris, thanks for the best Fujifilm YT channel! There is a lot to learn about my new X100 VI and I'm happy to view your videos.

[grahambod]

Thanks, very helpful, also i love the tiny Q button which will be very handy for fast WB changes.

[giovannefiore]

Thank you so much for this wonderful and fantastically presented tutorial of this camera that I have just purchased.
You really should be paid for this as you've put so much work into it.
I have set my X100VI exactly at your settings in the tutorial.

[acaa]

Great information for this Fuji newbie. It would’ve been helpful for me if you had left the picture of the screen up longer. I kept getting lost as you would zip ahead! But the information was outstanding, thanks so much!

[suisuinianvlog]
