The Fujifilm settings that confuse people the most, explained in one video. Fujifilm camera settings like the Q menu, BASE, custom setting packages, and boost mode finally make sense. Some of these settings will make a perfectly healthy camera feel broken when they are switched the wrong way. Others quietly cost you autofocus speed, battery life, or sharp shots.
I cover the ones I get asked about constantly, plus a few that tripped me up on real shoots, including the one that cost me almost an hour of troubleshooting with a manual macro lens. Get notified when I release a new video: pal2tech.com/newsletter
