The Fujifilm X-T2: 120 X-Pert Tips to Get the Most Out of Your Camera Paperback – January 24, 2017

The book is organized as a series of tips about the functions of the XT2. The writing is casual but not conversational - the author gets to the point and delivers lots of info in a brief and easy to understand fasion. He seems to have a thorough and in-depth knowledge of photography and Fujifilm equipment, and I've found a lot of useful info that I haven't come across in other books or online articles.I'm reading this on the Kindle app for Mac, and it's much more satisfying than a lot of Kindle reference-type books. The table of contents is linked to each chapter and subheading. There's no index, but there are lots of linked references to outside material, accessed from inside the book and also from a linked table of references at the back. A lot of references are to blogs and online reviews that fill out the subject matter. I haven't hit anything that was behind a paywall. Overall, this book is proving to be a good "missing manual" for the XT2 and I'll be taking it with me next time I go out shooting,

This camera so far exceeds my own capabilities that it’s almost frightening. Like a bush pilot accustomed to a Cessna pup strapping into an FA-18 hornet about to launch off an aircraft carrier! “Huh? What page does that thruster show up on the users manual?!?”Thus it’s nice to have insights from more experienced camera jockeys on how to use it as well as how to (generally) be a better photographer.The author's biases are his own, and my own trials and errors may lead me elsewhere once I have my feet underneath me with the equipment. But at least you have someone with a distinct and experienced points of view giving up his two cents.This handy book should be considered as a supplement to the manual that comes with the camera, and not a replacement. In fact one of the first tips offered is to RTFM (no further explanation necessary, I hope!). I use both. They’re getting me over the hump on the basics and the rest is out on my own.Highly recommended, and very cheap given the comparative expense in time and money required to get the Fuji equipment.

This is a nice addition to have along with your X-T2. It breaks down the functions and tips into very usable and understanding dialog. The factory manuals do have a lot of information and there is no replacement for them, but lets be honest. Not always the most user friendly or descriptive for that matter. I got mine on sale for a good price, not sure if I would be willing to pay full price. If you can get on sale or for a good price I would definitely recommend, at full price you might want to just check you tube... your choice. I tend to prefer reading the information for myself.

Excellant book. I would say it is aimed at the serious amateur or pro photog. It explains more thoroughly the functions of the camera. The X-T2 is a sophisticated camera and more explanation is needed than provided in the manual. No need to go in sequence with this manual. I just pick it up and flip to something that peaks my interest and start reading and experimenting with the camera. It is camera centric. You wont find sections on how to compose good images, it assimes you can already do that. It is a technical manual. It also provides suggested settings with good explanations. Everyone needs this book

This is a must have book for owners of the XT2 even if you have used an earlier Fuji camera. There are numerous online references at the end of the book and they are referred to in the body of the book. There is no index.

I cannot say enough for how helpful this book has been. I have my third Fuji camera (XT2). I found his guides so helpful in the past that I got on Kindle and bought this XT2 manual the day I walked in with the camera still in the bag from the store. He calls them tips, but they are much more than that. I walk through all of his suggestions, camera in hand, and set my settings, learn the new modes, etc. my only criticism is the lack of pictures of the dials, menus, etc. but his explanations gets you to where you want to go. It is worth every penny!

The book contains helpful information, but a lot of it is now out of date or inaccurate because the book is based on ver 2 firmware and the camera is now up to version 4.2! Menu items have moved or changed and I spent a lot of time trying to apply “tips” that were no longer in the menu location listed in the book. Is is a shame that the author doesn’t update it

As always an excellent X-T2 guide! I have the Xpro1, and the X-T1 guides by the same author and they really, really provide some excellent tips! Here I think I know stuff, and Rico comes along and surprises me.If I purchase ANY Fuji camera, and Rico has a book on it: I buy it. Period. I will say a lot of the information inside is found in the user manual, but the manual(s) are not very well written whereas Rico writes clearly, concisely, and tells you WHY you need, or don't need a menu feature on or off.

My friend is owning this camera body and was finding it difficult while using the same I purchased this to gift him this book.He said this is very handy and useful book Thanks Amazon

Excellent book for this camera. Nice addition to the manual that comes with the camera.....

Sono convinto che anche chi crede di conoscere la propria XT2 al 100 % troverà in questo manuale qualche dritta utile per sfruttare a fondo una fotocamera eccezionale come la Fuji XT2. Per me vale tutti i soldi che costa. Preferisco il formato stampato, per me più facilmente e velocemente consultabile. Consigliato!!

This is an excellent book for the Fujifilm X-T2. The manual supplied with the camera tells you what facilities are built into the camera, but not the best method for utilising them. As its title says, this book is full of tips on how to get the best out of the camera and how to set things up to so that you can use it to its full (fantastic) potential.When I bought the book (a few months ago now) I thought that I would be happy if I picked up a tip here and there, instead I am finding I am learning tips on almost every couple of pages.This book is well worth buying and credit is due to Rico Pfirstinger for taking the time to look into every aspect of the camera and passing it on to the reader, generally, in a clear easy to follow well explained manner.If you own an X-T2 you will already know what a fantastic camera it is, this book will, without doubt have you liking the camera even more.So useful that I keep it in my camera bag for easy reference. Great book for a great camera.

Muy completo. Altamente recomendado.Junto con "The Complete Guide to Fujifilm's X-T2",Tony Phillips, lo mejor que he leído hasta ahora sobre la X-T2.Ya sería genial que ambos autores actualizaran sus libros para incluir las ultimas (e importantes) prestaciones incluidas en la última actualización de firmware.
