Fujifilm Released Tutorials – Focus Modes, Fujinon XC vs XF, Fujinon MKX, Printing on Instax, and Custom Display Options
Fujifilm released some tutorial videos that I have summarized and posted below. They are all pretty brief and entry-level, but they could be good for people new to photography or Fujifilm cameras.
Focus Modes
- AF-S
- Single point AF mode
- Green box in focus
- Red box failed to focus and you might be too close
- AF-C
- Continuous AF mode
- M
- Manual focus
- Focus Mode selector
- Most cameras have the focus mode selected on the front
- GFX cameras have the selector on the back
- X100 has it on the front edge
- X-A7 has it in the menus
Fujinon XC vs XF Lenses
- Fujifilm XC and XF lenses are for X-Mount
- XC affordable lenses without aperture rings
- XF all have aperture rings
- The 35mm f/2 XF and XC are the same exact lenses optically
- XF lenses use metal
- XC lenses are plastic including the mount
- XF lenses use better AF motors
- XC lenses are a little slower to focus
- Some XF lenses are weather-resistant, but XC is not
Fujinon MKX Lenses
- MKX
- 18-55mm f/2.9
- 50-155mm f/2.9
- Both are the same size and weight
- Longer than XF lenses with a similar aperture
- These lenses are for series movie making
- Focus is always done manually when shooting video because you want to make sure you’re perfectly sharp
- MKX lenses have 200 degrees of rotation to go from minimum focus to infinity that moves smooth and silently which lets you be precise about where you set your focus
- MKX lenses are also parfocal so they maintain their point of focus while zooming, which camera lenses won’t do, but it keeps them smaller and lower-priced
- MKX lenses have gears to help you focus them
Printing on Instax Directly From Camera
- Menu button – Wrench – Connection settings – Instax – Enter your Instax Serial Number – Default Password 1111
- Find a photo in playback – Press Menu – Scroll Down to the Third Page – Instax Printer Prints
- Select print area and hit ok
Custom Display Options
- GFX and X cameras can be customized
- EVF and rear display can be modified
- You can have a really detailed display or a minimalist one
- Display back scrolls through your options for your EVF/LCD and one of the modes is clean
- Menu – Wrench – Screen Setup – Display Custom Settings
- Whatever has a checkmark will be on the screen
- The frame outline is good to tell you where the edge of the frame is when it is dark and it is the last option
