The Fuji X100 Explained - Menus, Controls, and more

[Entropy56]

3:10 you said it takes 2.2 seconds for the X100 to start. Well, according your test, it took 13 seconds for it to take the first picture!

[kgillum]

@Entropy56 Well....Did you not read above where he states it's an SD card issue? This was a well documented problem, easily resolved by using the proper card.

Where did you get the intro music from?

[LewisRallye]

Is it possible to manually focus using the outer lens ring or (like old school cameras) or is it electronic? Thanks

[RexyHsieh]

hello Steve !! where did you buy" Shutter Soft Release Button " . i saw your x100 button so nice!! Thanks.

[BoxxyFan]

If you are thinking about buying this camera, do not buy it. There is a common 'sticky blades' problem that many x100 will eventually get due to the design of the lens in the x100. So far to date, Fujifilm has not even publicly acknowledged this problem. Shocking for a $1000+ premium camera. You can read about all the x100 owners complaining about it on the Fujifilm Talk forum on DPreview. Until Fujifilm acknowledges this issue, stay away from the x100!!

love the intro music, steve!

[Afoliatoras]

How is the shutter lag on this camera? Is so instant as Fuji mentions at 0.01sec?

[Raxmole]

hi this is francis host of this show cooking with dog ;) ... anyone get the reference and why >??

[rml695]

Do you see any of the performance parameters being updated via firmware? The performance I've heard on this camera is...meh...and that's th only thing keeping me away from this camera.

[MikeWashID]

Steve, do you mind sharing were you purchased the red soft release button from.

[x100ed]

Steve,

Many many thanks for this video. I just bought this camera a week ago and am getting used to its 'isms, but you have some really great tips in here. I am blown away by the camera quality. The sharpness is stellar, but the way it captures light and shadows is just mind blowing!! I am not really any good with post processing and the way this camera makes the pictures pop is perfect.

Do keep the tips coming!!

[mikeos]

What does the black button/slider do above the AEL button?

[romboutroemer]

thank's for the effort, i am rather lazy guy, always reluctant to read the manual, so your video comes in handy. Have the x100 for a couple of days now, great IQ, not so great handling, keeping it. 

[VisceralAngst]

I would really like to know where you got your soft release button from!

[Dtufino]

Wife got me mine today!!!!!! :-) super excited! Still have to get used to it as i'm used to my canon 7 & 5D's...

[joeldamianicigan]

Looking forward to seeing some nightshots / concertshots with this camera before I purchase.

[mqwk86]

I'll buy this camera because of that red button.

[MrZbank]

where did you get this soft release shutter button? please answer

[joeldamianicigan]

There seems to be so many menu settings for a novice. How well does this camera work as an "automatic" point & shoot? I currently have a Canon PowerShot S80 (8 Megapixels; prosumer)???

[Kajover]

perfect review, thank you

[skwp]

jesus christ? 2.2 seconds startup? on this video you hit power at 3:15 and it was operational at 3:28. is this for real? 13 seconds? mine is arriving in 2 days and this is making me scared

[stevehuff1969]

@skwp This is an SD card issue. With a fast 45MBPS card its pretty instant...

[skwp]

@stevehuff1969 good to know thanks steve. after I posted the comment I researched on forums and saw people were talking about sd cards. they also mentioned that formatting the card in-camera would help

[BoxxyFan]

The video mode on the x100 is a joke. Only 720p and only at 24fps? The Panasonic GF2 and Sony NEX-3/5 can do 1080p @ 30fps and they are both smaller and allow you to change lenses!

[sgdan]

Where do you get a soft release like that?

[bayusuputra1302]

Is the size about the same as canon QL17?

this PnS is really gorgeous.. love it, except the price..

[aluxious]

awesome video. very extensive walkaround.

what kind of flash can you use with this?

[unap16]

For the "focus and recompose" procedure, do you use the AF-S mode?

Btw, my gratitude for making this vid.

[stevehuff1969]

@unap16 Yes, AF-S

[BMacW650]

I guess, you were still thinking about the Leica when you put up the video. :P

Your description reads "Fuji X1"

[oneaznbmf]

Steve, you make it extremely challenging for me to wait for my pre-order to be filled.
