BIG video today. With a few surprises. That, and I also checked out the X-E5 camera. Image sensor, autofocus, film simulation dial, viewfinder, 23mm lens, control lever, IBIS performance, image quality, and more.

No clocks. No calendar. No windows. Is it Thursday already?

Vivacity.

No kidding, get this: during the shooting of this video, I was ordered on Jury Duty, Shot Dragon Con (sat nite crazy video coming), got that new COVID thing (yes, really), and, worst of all, ran out of coffee and whiskey. Hope everyone is doing great! 👍

Because I've been asked.... I'm definitely doing the X-E5 review and I've got a lot to say about it. Re-shooting all the b-roll now (because the first batch was boring), and the video is expected to release next week if I don't have ANYTHING ELSE come up.

This video shows a simple Auto + Manual aperture workaround that lets you see your exact Depth of Field before you take the shot. Works on X-T4, X-H2, X100V, and more.

I started shooting a Fast Friday this past Thursday. It was supposed to be 6 minutes. It's over 2 1/2 hours. I've been editing ever since. So, I'm tossing footage out right and left. However, I'll share this little clip. The final video will be launched tomorrow (Sunday).

Oh, and I think that's Leatherface from Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Not a zombie I don't think. I should have done more pre-shooting event research! 😲

You can't see from the photo, but this guy I was shooting was swinging a large chainsaw around. Twice it almost took out the Fuji loaner X-E5. Luckily I was able to run backwards fast enough to keep up.

You literally run all over the place over the entire parade route trying to get cosplayer and crowd reaction shots and not break your gear.

I had an access pass to shoot the 2025 Dragon Con Parade in downtown Atlanta -- so I took the X-T5 and X-E5 and a bunch of lenses. (video about this upcoming).

Autofocus is the number one topic of questions I get.
VIDEO HERE: www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6GJ...
AF-C, especially the custom option, is your secret power to improving AF to some degree. It won't solve everything, but all Fuji owners should be familiar with the info in today's video.

No app or QR code or entry in a Ticketmaster database will replace the feel of holding on to a real concert ticket. I’ve saved all of mine.

These are loaner units BTW. Due back to Fuji or else Men In Black at my door holding large heavy metal collapsed tripods.

For those who believe or hear rumors that I’m moving away from Fujifilm content. Um, that would be a hard NO! 👍
