If you are like me you like to take great photos but sometimes you don't want to carry
these big camera systems with you. This might be the right video today. We're
talking about the new Fujifilm XF10. If you want to learn more keep on watching!
Hi everyone I'm Billy of the Fuji Guys! Today we're talking about the new FUJIFILM XF10
This camera is a small lightweight and compact camera only weighs about 280g
with the battery and a memory card inserted into it it comes in two colors.
The black as well as a gold finish. So the camera uses of course a rechargeable
lithium battery. It uses the same battery as the older X100 series cameras the NP-95.
Giving you about 330 shots per charge, and it's also USB chargeable
So the new FUJFIFILM XF10 uses an APS-C sensor. It's a 24 megapixel sensor. It gives the
same technology as the X-A5 as well as the X-T100 so you get, it's basically a bayer sensor
filter array that's used on it. The lens, that's incorporated, is basically
equivalent to a 28mm lens. So it's really about 18.5mm
It's a fixed lens camera so there's no zoom to it which makes it
very pocketable and if you're just walking around the streets here in
Montreal and you want to take some snapshots this is a great a great
alternative. Get you better pictures without having you know just to rely on
your smart phone. Talking about snapshots this camera actually has a snapshot mode
makes it very simple to take pictures on the street. If you go into the menu of
the camera you go to the autofocus settings from there you can turn on the
snapshot mode and choose between two meters focus distance or 5 meters focus
distance and depending on that distance it also sets the aperture accordingly. So
at 2 meters you have f/8 and at 5 meters you have F5.6 and by doing that you can
pretty much have everything in focus within that region. Making it easy for you
to walk the streets of Montreal to take some great shots knowing that
everything's in focus and of course it reduces the shutter lag time
when you take pictures.
Like most new digital cameras of course this one
includes our Bluetooth Wi-Fi capabilities. You can download a free
FUJIFILM camera remote app and it allows you to actually control the camera
remotely allowing you to see what's on the camera screen and you can, of course,
adjust things like aperture shutter speed and of course trigger the shutter
release on the camera. So you can also transfer images very quickly. Now the
Bluetooth facilitates the connection to the camera and the Wi-Fi used to quickly
transfer images from the camera to your smartphone with very fast speed.
One of the nice features I like of course is the new Bluetooth remote app.
Now the Bluetooth app itself allows you to trigger the camera and not have to
connect to Wi-Fi. So basically because of the Bluetooth connectivity it's always
on and connected to this camera, you can just pull out your phone and open up the
app and start triggering the camera so if you want to put it on a tripod it makes
it very simple to use.
A nice feature on this camera of course is the control
ring now that it can be customized to change different settings like film
simulations and white balance and ISO, but in its default it changes depending
on the shooting setting you have it. Now I'm shooting in the SR+ Auto mode.,
and when I rotate the ring one time it actually enables the digital
teleconverter and it brings it from a 28mmr field of view to 35mm
and it does it digitally and it gives you still the full resolution.
Rotate it one more time it gets me to 50mm and again give me a
nice much tighter field of view but of course you still get that full resolution
Now the design of the XF10 is quite
minimal. On the front of the camera there's not a whole lot of things you can see of
course you've got the built-in flash you've got the AF assist lamp and of
course the control ring. On the back of the camera you have basically an LCD
screen and they're made away with the directional pad so now you have just the
autofocus joystick, and you got your menu/ok, display/back button, your playback
button and your "Q" button and a couple of function button options for you.
Now the screen itself is a touch LCD screen so just like your smartphone you're able
to pinch and zoom and you can swipe between images and DoubleTap get you
into an image DoubleTap get you back out of that image as well when you're in a
shooting mode you can set it up to lock focus if you wanted to you can drag the
autofocus where you like as well as you do touch to shoot meaning you can just
tap on the screen and it will focus and shoot right away on that subject.
On the top of the camera you have the mode dial controls you can change it from the
Scene Recognition plus (SR+) Auto mode to things like aperture shutter priority as
well as full manual controls. You also got your shutter release button on the
top with a new dial around it which allows you to adjust things like the
aperture or the shutter speed depending on the mode of the mode that you're
shooting at. You also got this little secondary command dial which of course
adjust things like the exposure compensation and of course allows you to
navigate and change some of the menu options from that as well. Now if you
like shooting with advanced filters there's actually two new filters that's
incorporated to this camera. There's rich and fine which is great for things like
food photography which kind of focuses on the center gives you higher
saturation and of course this new monochrome option that gives you more
like a infrared like look to it so that you have this blooming effect which is
kind of cool! There's also some Film Simulation
options are available in most of the
Fuji cameras. I like things like Classic Chrome
as well as shooting in Astia mode as well as of course some of our
most popular film simulation options that are built in.
There's a lot of functions that mirror the X-A5 in the X-T100 you have
things like 4k burst mode as well as 4k Multi Focus which allows you to
take multiple shots automatically and get more depth of field in the picture.
Really great if you want to do product shots or food photography and you
want again everything in focus. In addition to that what I really like of
course is that this camera, because it's a fixed lens it does have a leaf shutter.
That means I can shoot at very fast shutter speeds and be able to sync with
the flash at very fast shutter speeds.
Of course the camera offers video as well there is 4k recording but it's 15
frames per second so it's not the most useful function but there is full HD at
60 frames per second making it you know very very good for you know doing things
like slow motion if you want to slow your video down it is super lightweight
this camera so you know for vlogging you know the built-in mic is is great
there's also an external mic option that you couldn't use to get better audio if
you wanted to do that.
So we are at the old port in Montreal great little city to
walk around take some great snapshots there's a lot of architecture a lot of
street photography that's happening and you know we're very close to where the
boats are as well in addition to that you know when you have a scene like this
you can capture everything this camera does have a nice panoramic mode on the
dial on the top just switch it to that and it gives you a nice long sweep
panorama but just like your smartphone but of highest quality because it's
using an APS-C sized sensor.
So again you can shoot at different ratios on the
camera. you got 3:2 you got 16:9 you got 1:1. The great thing
about 1:1 is that of course it's perfect for the SP-3 share printer.
I'm gonna connect to it right now and make a print it's great that way, I'm in
playback I'm gonna just go and select the Instax print option from there
it's gonna automatically connect. Once it's connected I can push OK and it's
gonna start printing my picture on the spot and this is great if you're doing
even street photography because you know when you're taking a picture of somebody
you can actually give them a physical print right there and then.
I had a great time filming this video today in Montreal I hope you guys enjoyed this
