Everyday Carry Camera: Fujifilm XE4

In this video, the speaker talks about his everyday carry camera, the Fujifilm XE4. He explains why he chose this camera and its features.

Choosing a Camera

• The speaker wanted a small camera with interchangeable lenses, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capability, and not a hybrid shooting camera.

• He wanted to bring back his love for photography from middle school.

• The speaker is a Sony shooter but chose the Fujifilm XE4 because of its tactile buttons that make it feel like an actual camera.

Features of the Fujifilm XE4

• The aperture ring on the lens and shutter speed dial are physical dials that give it an analog feel.

• It has an automatic point-and-shoot mode for easy use by anyone.

• A thumb grip helps hold the small form factor of the camera.

• Interchangeable lenses include 27mm f/2.8 (40mm full-frame equivalent), weather-sealed lens and 18mm f/2 all-metal construction lens hood (28mm full-frame equivalent).

• All cameras in the Fujifilm line have the same sensor, x-trans 4 sensor with 26 megapixels.

Conclusion

The speaker recommends trying out a thumb grip on your Fujifilm XE4 or X100V. He loves having two different lenses with such small form factors. Overall, he believes that this is a great everyday carry camera that most people won't even notice you're carrying around.

How to Customize Your Fujifilm X-E4 for Everyday Use

In this video, the speaker shares his experience with customizing his Fujifilm X-E4 camera for everyday use. He discusses the accessories and settings he uses to make the camera more comfortable and accessible.

Customizing the Camera Grip

• The speaker uses a hot shoe thumb grip mount to improve his grip on the camera.

• This accessory allows him to hold the camera safely in his hands while shooting with or without a strap.

• The speaker has larger hands, so he finds it difficult to grip the camera without this accessory.

Using Filters for a Unique Look

• The speaker uses a Tiffin Black Pro-Mist filter to take off the digital edge of photos and give them a unique look.

• This filter enhances Fujifilm simulations and brings them to another level.

Choosing Camera Straps

• The speaker uses Peak Design straps and quick links to switch between different straps seamlessly.

• He prefers Clever Supply's handmade leather strap for everyday use because of its quality and durability.

• The leather strap is also a conversation starter when people ask about his camera.

Considering Weather Sealing

• The Fujifilm X-E4 is not weather-sealed, so it may not be suitable for heavy downpours or rain.

• However, the speaker has shot in light rain without any issues.

• He added an Alphaguard skin for extra protection against scratches and minor impacts.

Choosing Between X100V vs. XE4

• Although he has never owned any of the X100 series cameras, the speaker chose the XE4 over the X100V because of its interchangeable lenses.

• While the X100V has an awesome optical viewfinder and built-in ND filters, the speaker prefers the flexibility of interchangeable lenses.

Conclusion

• The speaker shares some photos he captured with his Fujifilm X-E4 throughout the last six months.

• He encourages viewers to choose what's best for them when it comes to camera accessories and settings.

• The video ends with a call to subscribe to his channel and follow him on Instagram.
