The Fujifilm X100F: 101 X-Pert Tips to Get the Most Out of Your Camera Paperback – January 30, 2018

Most of Pfirstinger's books are great for those who are either entry- or mid-level users, or even experienced photographers that are trying to learn a new camera model. Fuji makes TERRIFIC cameras and perhaps even BETTER lenses, but their user manuals, like most camera company's manuals, really leave something to be desired, being more extended specification sheets, as opposed to USER manuals (i.e., how to USE the camera). Fuji also, shockingly, omits indexes (!) in their manuals, making finding information very difficult unless you are using a pdf version on the computer and using the search function in Acrobat. This book is a great way to learn your new Fuji from a user's point of view, and works great in conjunction with the official user manual. When used in tandem, you have a great source of information on how to use your new X100F. The physical size of the book is handy, too. Most people who have used these books by Pfirstinger agree that these are some of the best manuals that Fuji might have included in the first place!

I really want to give this book a 3 star rating, but I honestly can't since it does what the title says: it is a book of tips. Yet I'm still disappointed that it is not a more useful book. Why? Tip #1 says it all: read the manual.I suspect that most people who buy this camera know enough about photography to be able to plow through the manual's 171 mind-bogglingly boring pages and figure out how to use the camera. I had hoped that this book would offer a more intelligent way to get acquainted with the camera. To some extent it does, since the tips are relatively bite-size and often require you to read the corresponding section of the manual to fully understand the feature. On the other hand, this book does not try to be a systematic or logical introduction.As you would expect, it does highlight important features and gives the author's rationale for recommended settings. That's all well and good, but I would have much preferred 75 tips and perhaps 25% of the book being a knowledgeable user's introduction to the camera. I recommend using Amazon's "Look Inside" feature to see if this book is really what you want or perhaps another book will better fit your needs.

This little book has a lot of good information about the X100F and looks at the functions of the camera from a different perspective than the user's manual that comes with the camera. It sheds light on some of the functions of the camera and the menu system and explains things in more detail than the camera's manual does. It is like having a seasoned X100F user on hand to explain the camera in more detail than the manual does.This book is a great companion to the X100F and the factory supplied user's manual; it is highly recommended for those who are new owners of the Fuji X100F.

Rico does a great job in writing this book. I consider it a must-read in addition to the often poor writing of the included OEM paper manual. I always have the camera in front of me and try out all his suggestions while doing hands-on learning. Thanks Rico

The information is useful but the book lacks structure in my opinion and is not easy reading material because of the above. I would research other titles before committing.

If you're thinking of purchasing or already own the Fujifilm X100F camera, this book is a must-have accessory! Clearly written, well organized, and lots of valuable tips.

Very helpful book. Glad I bought it. I doubt a professional photographer would need to read this book, but it was perfect for me. I read through it closely, and as I get to know the camera I know I'll be returning to re-read sections. The thing is about the X100F is that with everything set to auto it takes very nice photos, but to get the most of it you've really got to vary the settings to see how that changes the final product. I'm sure you could fritz with it yourself and over 2 years of use you'd figure almost everything on your own, but having a roadmap like this book gets you to the point where you can really use the features of the camera much sooner.

Great insight, very helpful.I learned somethings, andI have a better understanding of my camera’s functions; coming from film to digital.

I actually bought this for my X100V as most of the tips apply to my camera as well as the intended X100F.Lot of good info for the money.

Fabulous book with clear, informative explanations and good examples. Helped me understand my camera and use it properly. Highly recommended.

Une floppée de conseils pour régler finement le X100F, ou pour paramétrer et personnaliser le compact expert de chez Fujifilm. Voici un ouvrage clair et relativement facile à lire pour trouver et des fonctions qui n'apparaissent pas toujours clairement dans le guide d'origine, en tout cas sans avoir à les chercher sur plusieurs chapitres.A quand une édition française ?

This book is very good, however, I wish there was less emphasis on post-processing of the RAW files..For me, the whole purpose of choosing a camera like Fuji X100F, with lots of dials and buttons, is to create the best JPEG images straight out of the camera, which this camera most certainly can do!

Excellent bouquin. Je pensais ne pas y découvrir grand chose de neuf, au contraire, l’auteur maîtrise parfaitement ce boîtier et vous révèle plein de compléments techniques et d’explications du fonctionnement interne du x100f. Vraiment, pour profiter pleinement de ce merveilleux boîtier, n’hésitez pas, ça vaut le coup.
