The Fujifilm X-Pro2: 115 X-Pert Tips to Get the Most Out of Your Camera

It’s a manual on steroids. He writes clearly because he thinks clearly. I use it for reference if I want to work with some flash or anything complex. I would rather pull a rattlesnake out of my bag than a flash but find myself seeing the simplicity of the supplied Fuji mini flash and one rattlesnake. I could be wrong.I enjoy capturing people doing their thing (no flash no shutter sound black and white.) Quiet, breath and pay attention. The flash thing is a left brain activity.You bought a $2,000 camera. Buy the best documentation you can. Light up the the Kindle account. Download to an iPad Mini. (Not the 4.) The new one. The 4 is slow. Get the SD lightning adaptor. Don’t judge when your shooting. Import your photos into the mini to determine what’s there. Do you have a chance for a second round?

There is information here, but the author makes you work to get it.For example, there is more than a page on a feature named Lens Modulation Optimizer (LMO). He states:- It's used on other Fuji cameras- "Counteracts optical phenomena (like diffraction and corner softness)". Are there others?- LENS send LMO data to camera.- Not all lenses support LMO.- How to enable LMO- Correcting diffraction- Correcting softness[Apparently, LMO does not correct any other effects].- "LMO corrections are only visible in JPEGs that are generated in the camera."So after a page, we find out that it's useless for RAW files. The author doesn't just say that, we have to get it as the consequence of his statement. IMO that should the first statement about LMO so RAW-only shooters can ignore it.After stuff like this, I need a nap.

This is an excellent book that explains how and why to use the features of the Fuji x-pro2 camera. The author provides many insights into the functioning of the various systems of the camera. Also included are procedures such as shooting for HDR, using settings specific to the x-pro2. This book goes far beyond the manual, reviews, and YouTube videos in helping to understand and use the x-pro2.The author was immediately responsive to a question I sent to him on Facebook.

While this guide is well written, its not as informative as I'd like. Note: this guide is not a substitute for the original manual. If your just starting out with photography or with a Fuji X-Pro2, this guide will help you advance your skills and help you get more pout of your camera.

Not as good as Mr. Pfistinger's book on the XPro1 but with the website annotations it is a book that will stay current with firmware updates by Fuji. The menu structure of the 2 is much different (and better) than the 1 and Rico guides you through the pitfalls.

Quality is found in the details and clarity of his tips. Well worth the price. I do not find Fuji to be intuitive; this helps make it more so.

Great to learn the how-to’s of the X-Pro2The author’s explanation are simple yet clear and quite practical to put to use immediately.

Good book already but more photos would be better. A bit more detailed and pro than what beginners need though.

I'm 'old school' in camera work and was taught in the 1970s on a degree level graphic arts course in the use of 35mm and 2 1/4 square film cameras and darkroom craft. And that's what I've stuck to. So I needed some help to bring me into the 21st century and the digital camera world. This has been an invaluable book to help me set up the camera and the author usefully gives optimum settings for most of the basic set up. He is pragmatic in his approach too, so that's helpful. It's not perfect - in the printed version (which I have), I can see hyper links that can be linked to web references but those are a pain to dig out manually as they are listed at the end of the book. It is though, still a really useful addition to the camera and has helped me get significantly better results.

Another excellent book by multi-lingual writer and photographer Rico Pfirstinger. Clear, well-organised, always friendly and a pleasure to read.

This book is great vale for money. It contains some very useful tips, and make a goos supplement to the manual.

Very little information considering the price of the Kindle edition.Very disappointed.If you are looking for some expanded information, (above and beyond the user manual), on how to use the Xpro -2, this publication does not deliver.

Great book.
