These values are general recommendations. The wizard gives you values optimized for your Fujifilm X-T20 and lens — plus step-by-step menu paths.
Camera-Specific Tips
- The Fujifilm X-T20 features a dedicated shutter speed dial and exposure compensation dial on top, allowing you to quickly adjust these settings without diving into menus. This makes manual control intuitive and fast.
- Activate Focus Peaking to assist with manual focus. This feature highlights the edges of in-focus areas, making it easier to achieve sharp focus, especially useful for portraits and bokeh shots.
- The X-T20's electronic viewfinder (EVF) provides a live histogram overlay, helping you to monitor exposure in real-time and avoid blown-out highlights or underexposed shadows.
- The tilting LCD screen on the X-T20 allows you to shoot from creative angles, such as low to the ground or above your head, while still being able to see your composition clearly.
