The Aperture Priority Setup Every Fujifilm Photographer Should Use

Aperture priority is the camera mode I use for almost all of my photography on the Fujifilm X-T5. Many photographers think shooting in manual mode makes you a better photographer, but in reality aperture priority lets you focus on composition, timing and storytelling instead of constantly adjusting settings. In this video I explain why aperture priority works so well for me and how I set up my Fujifilm camera to make it reliable. I walk through the key settings I use including minimum shutter speed, auto ISO, exposure compensation and metering modes. When these settings are dialled in, aperture priority becomes a very fast and creative way to shoot. I also explain the apertures I use most often, why I normally start around f5.6, when I open up to f2.8 for low light and when I stop down to f8 or f11 for landscapes. Finally we look at spot metering and auto exposure lock, two tools that can completely change how you control exposure when shooting in aperture priority. If you shoot Fujifilm cameras like the X-T5, X100VI or other Fuji bodies, this workflow might help you simplify your photography and spend more time actually taking photos. 0:00 Why I Don’t Shoot Manual Mode 0:33 Why Aperture Priority Is My Default Mode 2:09 Why Aperture Matters in Photography 5:27 My Aperture Priority Camera Settings 10:16 Metering Modes Explained 13:11 Using Auto Exposure Lock #FujifilmXT5 #AperturePriority #FujifilmPhotography #PhotographyTips #StreetPhotography
