How you set up your X-T1 will be dependent upon what you shoot (street vs. landscape vs. wildlife, etc.), under what conditions (good light, poor light, etc.) and how (handheld, tripod).

 

One of the benefits of the X-T1 is that the significant shooting parameters (aperture, shutter, and ISO) are accessible by lens and/or dial without requiring diving into the menus. 

 

Spend some time learning the different film simulations and adjustments to find what works for you based on your shooting style.

If are a starter in Photography, just leave everything to the camera for the time being, it will take much better decision that you would be capable off at the beginning.

 

Once you get more familiar with the camera; start trying out different settings, like ISO dial, what happens if you change it ? What about that Aperture ring on the lens ? And speed ? What does it effect ?

 

Take it slow and don't be afraid to search for some tutorials about the different settings.

 

If you are a pro-summer, chances are you already know what you like and how you like it, shoot a day with each film simulation and makes the changes as you see fit to your taste. The X-T1 is really great for that, you can really make it to behave the way you want it.

As an experienced X-Pro user, I recently added an X-T1.  The ability to customize was overwhelming.

 

The first thing I did was shut all the programmable buttons off.  Then i would use the camera.  As I needed an option more than a few times, I'd assign it to a button.  As I went along, options that I accessed more often would be assigned to buttons that were easier to reach.  With in a few days, I had all the options I used assigned to buttons.

 

And half my programmable buttons still have nothing assigned to them.

    • Anyone out there have any experience/feedback on the Laowa 55 mm tilt shift? I’d be using it on the GFX 50s ii. 
    • Hi, I'm researching a gimbal to get someone as a present & they use a Fuji XS-10. I did a quick search of previous threads on gimbals but all of them seem to either get no replies or spammed by a link to an Amazon list. I'd appreciate any comments from folks who've actually used specific gimbals with the XS-10. I'm aware that some, such as certain models from Zhiyun, DJI & FeiyuTech either don't say that they are fully compatible with the XS-10 but other sites say they do work ok but some functions don't. It's quite difficult to work out which functions work & which don't. Thanks.

    • This was snapped during a lunch.  Total shooting time—a few seconds. We so often read that a proper "portrait" should be snapped with a longer than normal lens, a low ISO to get lots of detail, and have a soft light held up above the head, and slightly to the side. The key, in my opinion, is always carry a camera.  Have your camera available to capture candid, authentic photographs.  Available light, no posing.   This portrait used 2000 ISO, the lens wide open at f4, and 1/100 sec. to stop any movement.  I didn't even take time to compose—I just snapped.  I leave the "Face Detection" on unless I'm photographing a landscape or subject other than a person. The GFX100RF has the equivalent of a 28mm lens.  The large sensor renders fine detail even at fairly high ISO ratings.  And the drawing of the lens is just perfect in my opinion.  It was set to B & W, with slightly reduced sharpness and clarity (set in-camera).  Ideal for "portraits."  Now, for some subjects I will likely increase the sharpness and clarity to the normal setting.  The camera is new, and I'm still experimenting with it.
