Snagged the X-T3 for $999 last week! I especially liked the video section because I haven't even dabbled in that. I too love to adapt lenses.

    Well done vid. Shooting in RAW unfortunately eliminates the Fuji film simulations in the photo mode. I recently started shooting in the ASTIA mode. I find it amazing and no need to spend time in post as well as being consistent in the way I like to shoot photos and video as well.

      Depends on what’s more important for you: Image stabilisation (X-S10) or weather sealing (X-T3). The image quality is pretty much the same, with the X-t3 having a bit more options for CODEC and bit rates.

    If I use the same lens on my X-E2 with same settings, the photos are perfectly fine but on X-T3, the photos are much darker.

    • @FredRanger
      @FredRanger  5 лет назад +2

      Thank you so much for the kind feedback!
      You could definitely use single point, but I prefer using the Zone focus settings for landscape (depending on the situation). It will allow you to identify the portion of the image that should be in focus (vs only 1 point). I would also recommend putting the zone focus 2/3 into the image and using an aperture between f/8 and f/16 (or even smaller if you lens permits it).

    I want to shoot a 4k 24p 10bit 4.2.0 VIDEO tripoded sunset on my xt-3 like I do with my sony ( check out my page to see what im talking about if you need to ) where im in aperture priority mode so that the camera can control the shutter speed automatically as the light gets dimmer and dimmer. I want my ISO set at 160 the whole time....i only want the aperture to change over time automatically by the camera...what settings do I need to set to accomplish that? ( and yes I know there's a 30 min limit to video recording. my programmer friend is working on a hack to stop that nonsense like they already have for Sony )

    This is primarily video. Quite disorganized presentation
