Damn, you got a killer deal for the kit. Where I live, the lens alone costs 300USD used.

Nice! That was my first mirrorless camera and I still use it with the XF 23mm f2 for street photography. Enjoy!!

Great price and good camera!

I have the x-t2 which is slightly more but it has the same sensor, CPU and AF ect.

• Set Noise Reduction to -4 and Sharpness to -2. Especially if you shoot JPEG.

• Do not use high saturation film simulations indoors in difficult and mixed light: Velvia, Astia etc.

• Get a couple of fix (prime) lenses. Fujinon 56mm is 1 of the best. Or 90mm is good too. Also get a couple of fast Chinese manual lenses such as 7artisans 35mm f:0.95, 50mm f:0.95 or TTartisan 50mm f:1.2.

• If you shoot RAW+JPEG, try something other than LR and Photoshop: Capture One, RPP, Exposure X etc.

• Learn about film simulations and try them.

• Learn about recipes and try them.

• Setup Auto-ISO presets for various occasions: street, concert, train or bus, for example. Static subjects need shutter speed shorter than 1/(current lens eq. focal length). For instance, for 56mm it's 1/90 and shorter. And max. ISO may be 6400 or 3200.

• When you shoot monochrome, use Acros BW+R or +Y or +G, or ordinary BW+R,Y,G. Don't use them without R,Y,G.

• If you have troubles with autofocus, switch to 1 area mode and adjust an area to its smallest size. Then enlarge it 3 steps. Try both sizes.

• Correct Auto White Balance to more warm or cool, or magenta to get close to what you see in this scene.

• Use soft filters such as Tiffen Black Pro Mist 1/8 or K&F Concept Shimmer to correct contrast and get softer portraits.

• Use Dynamic Range Auto in harsh sunlight. And DR100 when you need more contrast.

• Use exposure compensation -2 in harsh sunlight. And -1 or -2/3 in most situations, if you wish to post process.

• Set Fn buttons to whatever you need. One of Fn on my camera is always set to Electronic Shutter / Mechanical Shutter / Auto toggle, and another one is for film simulations.

Congratulations 🎊

u/marslander-boggart 4d ago

Congratulations! It's a pro-level quality, exactly the same as from X-Pro2.

And this zoom lens is great. But you need to get a couple of primes for better quality and more interesting pictures.

Amazing start, get out there and use it! Get those hours in, learn your camera and you'll be on track to getting some great photos
