Day 2 With the Fuji X-T1 – With Jesmina Aktar | Keenan Hastings

Back again with the Fuji X-T1, for those of you that haven’t read „Day 1“ click here… Now that you’re caught up, lets move on. I had an opportunity to take my X-T1 on its first photo shoot! I was rather excited, yet nervous, I’m honestly not 100% confident using the camera because all of the new controls. One, being the electronic viewfinder, it’s amazing, but sometimes I’m not sure if I’m in focus, even with the focus assist (peaking) feature I’ve been second guessing myself; It worked great in portraits from the chest up, but pictures at a distance not so much, though I’m sure its a user error. The other small flaw is some of the manual controls at the top, though the ISO lock button is annoying, I’ve grown to appreciate it, I actually wish Fujifilm used this feature on every nob, because at times I accidently adjust my exposure. The only downfall with this physical dial system is using it at night, it’s hard to see at times, but with consistent camera usage I think I will be able to overcome this issue……
