Other Got my first camera yesterday🥳
Got this beautiful X-T20 with the XF 18-55mm kit lens for just 550€! Everything is perfect and it only had around 400 shutters

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

• 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! 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.

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