Does Fuji xe1 have focus peaking?

On the X-E1 from Fujifilm, we only get two main focus peaking modes. The standard MF assist does little to nothing and can be quite tricky to use effectively. While you can try it out if you wish to test your eyesight (and your patience), the second and last option, Focus Peak, is where it’s at.

How does zone focusing work on a Fuji lens?

So zone focusing is basically pre-focusing your lens to a certain distance away e.g. 3 meters and using the ‘depth of focus (or field)’ so that everything within a certain range e.g. 1.5 to 4 meters will be in focus. A few of the Fuji lenses (14mm, 16mm and 23mm) are marked out with a depth of focus scale,…

Can You zone focus on a Fuji XT1?

The DOF scales on my XT1 and x100S are hopelessly narrow, even on wide angle lenses focused at long distances. Basically it’s useless for zone shooting and you need to rely on experience or an app on your phone. I really wish Fuji would give us firmware updates to let us choose a more realistic DOF scale as they do on the xPro2.

Where is the depth of focus scale on a Fuji?

If you don’t have one of the above lenses with the DOF scale, then in Manual focus mode on your Fuji should see a “depth of focus” scale at the bottom of your view screen (as on my X70 above). Everything in the white bar on the scale that’s in blue should be in focus. However it’s a very basic guide and I don’t rely on it.

How big of a lens do you need to zone focus?

The wider your focal length, the more DOF there will be in a scene. So if you are shooting at 28mm, much more of your scene will be in focus than if you are shooting at 100mm. This is why I rarely zone focus using a lens longer than 35mm.
