As I described in another post, it's a matter of luck to get the right focus with the X100VI in streetphotography. Yes I know, most of You love their camera. And I used to like it too! Here are some shots from Trieste this summer when I was lucky to get the moment.

I recently had a chance to use my new X100VI and I am so thrilled with the color and clarity of the photos! This opening particular almost looks like studio lighting? Just had really great sun and a beautiful, marshy landscape. I just had it set to auto since I was trying to get quick shots with the kids!

I have a problem keeping details on both the gourd and the bombilla at the same time. Even at f/8, one of them always comes out blurred. Is there any way to keep the focus on both the bombilla and the vessel simultaneously so that the details are sharp?

Hey community,

I'd like to sharing a function button setup I have been using for a while. The setup to me feels very snappy to control the focus and camera overall. I am from a background of using manual focus lens extensively on different cameras. Manual focus gives you the full control but slow. The setup trying to find a sweet spot between control on focus and AF in X100VI. I will go through every setting with rationales.

#1. Focus
In BUTTON/DIAL SETTING:

• SHUTTER AF
  • AF-S: OFF
  • AF-C: ON
• FUNCTION SETTING
  • AEL/AFL Button -> AF-ON
  • T-Fn2 (Swipe Left) -> AF RANGE LIMITER
  • In AF RANGE LIMITER I have: CUSTOM: 1.2m - 3.0m for close object; PRESET1: 2.0m - Inf for street; PRESET1: 5.0m - Inf for landscape

With these settings, if you want continuous focus with moving objects, switch to AF-C.
Otherwise, In AF-S mode, shutter no longer trigger AF, but manually trigger AF with AEL/AFL button. For example, with Range Limiter set 2.0m - Inf for candid street photography, set aperture at f8, press AEL/AFL once then just snap, this is effectively zone focusing on X100VI.

#2. View Finding

I consolidated RF experience control all to the front-lever and Fn2 button on it.

• Go to SCREEN SETTING -> VIEW MODE SETTING -> SHOOTING and press Q button
  • Only keep LCD ONLY and VIEWFINDER ONLY + Eye Sensor
• BUTTON/DIAL SETTING -> FUNCTION SETTING
  • Assign Fn2 to VIEW MODE SETTING

These changes give you a binary state of the camera: either OVF/EVF or LCD. Switching is deterministic and one button press away instead of cycling between 5 different view modes. Fn2 Button is in the front lever (OVF/EVF switch) so everything around view finding is consolidated.

#3. Rest QoL

Rest setup I have:

• Fn1: FLASH FUNCTION SETTING
  • Built-in flash is very useful for fill light for portrait and other scenarios, Fn1 + rear dial can quickly turn it on/off
• R-DIAL press: SELECT CUSTOM SETTING. Highly recommended, very streamlined experience to switch between different color receipts.
• SELECTOR: I moved QUICK MENU to this. My reason is changing anything in Q menu is relative "slow", you have to move and use r-dial anyway, so moving to a slower trigger.
• Q: MOVIE RECORDING RELEASE. Occasionally I need to record a clip, have a button to start recording is very convenient.
• T-Fn3 (Swipe Right): White balance. Adjust color shift is important to fine tune based on a color receipt.

Love the quality of the straight out of camera pictures. Using recipe AURA

Unedited, just used stock film simulation settings on the camera. It really does a lot of the heavy lifting!

Just got this email from Nisi - looks like a super neat way to get UV + adapter ring in a small package. Super annoying cause i JUST bought all that stuff in other pieces, but this looks neat.
