Hey everyone! Welcome back to the Fuji Guys Channel I'm Gord of the Fuji Guys
The X-T100 is a compact camera from FUJIFILM
that features a flip out screen, 24 megapixels on an APS-C sized sensor and
more! In this video I'm going to spend a few minutes talking about some of the
top features of the X-T100 so if you want to find out more about the X-T100
keep on watching.
This is the X-T100 it features an APS-C size sensor.
actually much larger than cellphones as well as your typical compact camera and
what that allows you to do is to be able to capture subjects with a very blurred
background for a bokeh effect and that really helps to make the subject stand
out from the background, also with the zoom lenses as well as interchangeable
lenses, you have a very wide range of subjects that you can work with and
because if you compare it up directly to your smartphone makes for transferring
images very quickly and easily. It uses the entire lineup of the X mount lenses
which are 25 or so in total, at the time of this recording, including my favorite
the XF23MM R WR. The X-T100 also has a 2.36 million electronic viewfinder.
There's also an automatic switch over so it automatically goes
between the LCD screen and the EVF when you bring it up to your eye with an eye
sensor. If you want you can actually customize whether or not you have only
the LCD screen on or only the electronic viewfinder on or with the eye sensor as
well. This makes it very versatile to be able to use the camera in the situation
you're wanting to. So on bright sunny days you can actually use the electronic
viewfinder to be able to see and review your photos.
The LCD screen of the X-T100
can flip three different ways if you want to take shots on high you can
actually flip it down 45 degrees. So you can actually see above crowds. Conversely
if you want to have shots down low without having to crouch all the way
down you can actually flip at 90 degrees. It also flips around so that actually
it's front-facing. So now when you're taking selfie shots you can actually see
yourself in the image in the LCD screen and if you're using selphie, you can
actually press the rear command dial down to be able to take the shots.
The LCD screen on the X-T100 is touch sensitive and there's a number of
different ways and controls you have available on there, including touch to
shoot. So at that point wherever I touch on the
screen the camera will focus to and then actually take the shot or I can
change that by simply tapping up in the upper right hand corner to touch to AF.
Now wherever I touch on that the camera will focus on but wait for me to
actually press the shutter button to take the picture. Pushing it again
chooses, I choose area. At that point wherever I touch on the LCD screen the
camera will then pick for its choice but it will actually wait to autofocus until
I push the shutter button and then it'll take the picture or I can turn
that entire thing off at that point it's no longer going to be touch sensitive.
When it comes to taking a shot there's also the ability to change the focus
mode. In the lower right hand area. At that point I can choose between
autofocus single, manual focus and autofocus continuous. I also have the
ability for film simulation. So when I touch on there I now have all the
different film colorations and previews of those colorations coming up on screen.
I simply select that I want the one that I want to for choice for example black
and white and then I've gone into the black and white taking picture taking
mode. The X-T100 uses the same NP-W126S battery found on many other FUJIFILM
mirrorless models and it actually has, depending on the lens you're working
with, up to 430 shots per charge. this is great when you're
actually shooting photos all day long. To charge it back up again you take
the microUSB cable plug it into the end and now you can either plug the other
end into a USB on your computer or into the AC-5VF and plug that in. When I'm
traveling I really like the ability to have a multi port charger so I've got a
number of USB charging ports on there and it's just a matter of plugging that
in and now I can charge things up like the camera my phone and other devices
all at the same time. Optionally there is the BC-W126S battery charger that you
can actually then just put the battery in here and it's a little faster than
many of the other ways. We've just mentioned X-T100 like many of our other
FUJIFILM cameras offers the ability to have film simulations and what this
allows you to do is to be able to capture a wide variety of the various
FUJIFILM emulsions in the camera. At that point you don't have to worry about
doing all the fiddling around with your computer afterward to get the same
results. If you look at the on the touch screen in the lower right hand corner
you see the film simulation. All you have to
do is touch on that and then you can actually scroll through the various film
simulations and you can actually preview what the image was going to look like.
Simply tap on the your choice and now you've been able to quickly and easily
get into that film simulation mode.
The X-T100 uses Bluetooth to quickly connect
to a Wi-Fi network to be able to communicate with smart phones be it iOS
or Android devices. To do that you can first pair it up as a Bluetooth and then
from there it becomes a lot easier to set things up. All I have to do is turn
the camera on and go down to the connection settings which is towards the
bottom of the setup menu and from there I would then simply choose Bluetooth and
then pairing registration. If I don't already have the app installed on my
smart phone, I can then use the scan a QR code on the back of the camera to be
able to connect up, but the first time I connect up I need to start my app and
then go into pairing registration the phone will do a little bit of looking
through the various Bluetooth networks that are being offered you then select
it for the camera of choice from the list of the ones listed there at which
point it will actually connect up and you can actually automatically set the
date and time from your smartphone by hitting the OK button on your camera.
From there there were a few other connections to be able to do. Including
geo-tagging so at that point it will be using the phone's data I can actually
get into the camera and change the time and date and location from within there.
The first time out I have to actually accept it as a Wi-Fi so I go into the
settings of my device and then I choose the camera from my device from the list
of Wi-Fi networks if it's ok to connect to this network. The first time out the
camera will ask for you for confirmation. Once it's done that it becomes a lot
more seamless when you're working within there. Start the app up again and it will
automatically connect up within there I can click on geo-tagging and it actually
automatically transfers the location to my camera. So now whenever I go
out and take pictures I can actually automatically have the GPS geo-tagging
information stored on my camera images. Now that I've got my phone and camera
paired up I can go out and start taking pictures with my X-T100. It will
automatically remember the GPS location as mentioned. When I power the camera off
it'll actually automatically transfer all of the files that has recorded so
far over to my smartphone. It resizes it to a 3 megapixel file. This is great for
when you're working with smart phones because otherwise if you have the full
24 megapixels it'll actually fill up your phone pretty fast. That point I can
very quickly and easily from within my smartphone share my images on various
social media sites. The X-T100 has a couple of fun 4k features. The first of
which is you can actually capture 15 frames at 15 frames per second in 4k.
This is about an 8 megapixel resolution The other one that I really like using
is called focus stacking and what you do is you actually then decide on what you
want to take the shots of. Normally when you're taking macro shot,. you can't have
both of the subject and the background in the same focus because your depth of
field is actually quite small. With the 4k focus stacking mode you turn it into,
by pushing the drive button on the X-T100, and then you simply select any
foreground and let the camera take the shots and once it's taken the shots it
will then analyze the images. You then push the playback button and from there
you can actually say ok I want to be able to create it and you can actually
choose whether you want to set where the focus distance those are for both near
and far or you can actually select a particular frame of the image that
you're wanting to or as I like to do is put it into the automatic mode so
at that point you put it into the automatic mode and the camera takes care
of processing the image. Once it's done the processing it offers the ability to
save the image and I simply have to push the Q button. Now when I've saved the
image now it actually, if you look, we can actually see that the entire image from
foreground to background is a nice sharp focus.
On the top of the X-T100 on the left hand side you'll find a command dial. Depending on what mode you have the
right command I'll set to, it'll actually offer different functionality. If you
have the right command dial set to SR+ you'd then scrolling with the
left turn wheel you can actually go through the various self timer modes
including buddy mode as well as 2 seconds 10 seconds etc. If you have the
right command set to the advanced filter mode now, by turning the left
mode you can actually choose to the various settings like miniature,
toy camera, selective color and so on. If you have the right command dial set to
scene position now rotating the left command dial you can go through things
like flower, beach, night shot, fireworks scenes etc. If you have the right command
all set to portrait now you have different settings for the portrait
enhancer. If you have the right command set to either landscape,
sport or night, now you're into the self timer mode again. You can actually
customize what the left command wheel does if you push and hold the display
back button. Then it brings up a menu and you can then scroll down to function
dial and you have a number of different functions you can choose that function
to be able to do and it's customizable for yourself. When you rotate the LCD
screen of the X-T100 around and automatically jumps into the selfie mode
and if you've got multiple people in your pictures you then use a touchscreen
to determine who is your actual main subject at that point the camera will
actually focus on that particular person if you do have multiple people you can
actually then use the front command dial to dial in how many people are going to
be in the shot and how close they're going to be before it actually releases
the shutter automatically. Or you can actually have it so it sets up so that
as soon as you smile into the camera it will actually then automatically take the shot.
The X-T100 has the ability to record HDR images in camera so you can
take pictures of bright sunny subjects and dark subjects on the same image
because it actually captures a couple of different exposures you do want to have
the camera on a tripod and you want to make sure that your subject stays
absolutely still. This is great for landscape photography. To get into the
HDR in camera mode simply push the drive button and then scroll down to HDR. From
within there you see there's a few different options including automatic
and a few different steps in there and it may take a bit of experimenting on
your behalf to be able to get exactly the settings that you're looking for.
I'm just gonna leave it in automatic for the time being hit okay and then to capture
my image again I do want to have the camera on a tripod because it actually
takes a couple of images within there it processes the image and then it asks if
you if you want to save the image. Simply hit the ok button and now I've captured
the image in HDR and when I play the image back I can see a lot more detail
in the shadow that I normally would if I just took it to one exposure the.
X-T100 is a great camera for vloggers in the fact that the
LCD screen rotates around degrees to the side of the camera. On opening up the
side cover here you'll find the2.5mm microphone jack.
This allows me to connect the mic ST-1 from FUJIFILM directly into the side of
the camera. If you do have a microphone that features a 3.5 millimeter adapter
you will need to get a small accessory item the 3.5 to 2.5
millimeter option. Plugging it in there now I rotate the screen all the way
around and I can actually now start my vlogging series. If I'm wanting to and be
able to see the screen without having to worry about having a microphone in the way
