Mastering the

FUJIFILM X-Pro1

FOREWORD

Do you really need a second handbook for a camera like

the FUJIFILM X-Pro1? Doesn’t the owner’s manual cover

everything? The answer is: no, it doesn’t.

That’s not to say that the owner’s manual is bad; it

documents all of the camera’s functions brieﬂy—in-

cluding features that I (and probably a majority of other

photographers) won’t ever use. What’s missing are

background information and practical tips based on

experience. What’s the best way to activate a function?

Which setting should you use in different circumstances?

Why is the camera exhibiting a certain behavior? And

most important, which functions don’t work the way you

would expect them to and how you should handle them?

This book in no way makes the X-Pro1 owner’s

manual superﬂuous, and you should read the manual,

because this book picks up where the manual leaves off.

It condenses the knowledge and experience I gained in

15 months of groundwork, during which I collected a

VI Foreword

wealth of information from Internet forums and count-

less other sources. While I was researching, I also shot

thousands of images with the cameras of the FUJIFILM

X-series—in particular the X100 and, since February

2012, the X-Pro1.

This handbook includes personal experiences, tips,

and background information—not only from me, but from

other photographers as well. Some basic photographic

knowledge is assumed. The X-Pro1 is probably not your

ﬁrst camera, and you hopefully are already familiar with

concepts like aperture and shutter speed.

If you still need to learn the basics, there are many

excellent books (including some from this publisher) for

building the knowledge and skills to ﬁll this gap.

I hope you enjoy reading this book and shooting with your

X-Pro1!

41 An Overview of the X-Pro1 System

1.1 THE CAMERA

Before we get started with the actual operation of the

X-Pro1, we should take a quick look at the camera’s

buttons, dials, menus, and connections—not because I

think that you haven’t done this already, but to be sure

that we’re speaking the same language and using the

same terminology.
