p.1 #1 · Best crash-course video to learn to use a X-T5 and 16-80mm f/4 in a couple of days?
So I caved and ordered my wife a Fuji as she's been wanting for a long time. We had a couple several years ago but we're mainly Canon people. X-T50 were out of stock everywhere so I got her a X-T5. She wanted a small-ish zoom so I paired it with a 16-80mm f/4 OIS WR lens. I also ordered her a few accessories including two extra batteries and two 256GB Extreme Pro SD cards.
She should be all good to go.
But I have no idea of optimal Fuji settings or how to set them. What's your preferred YouTube video for this camera? Something we can consume and "learn" how to use this camera before our trip to Yellowstone this Saturday?
I also got her a Fringer adapter so she can use my EF lenses (main interest is the 70-200mm f/2.8L IS Mark II). Any tips on that?

I'm not sure she can learn to master that camera in four days but there are ways of setting it up to make it fairly automatic, even point-and-shoot. I've learned how to use several Fuji cameras, including the X-T5, from Peltier Photo Courses. He's well organized, systematic, and explains things very simply and clearly. He also gives a good cheat sheet of camera settings so you don't have to figure them all out for yourself. https://www.peltierphotocourses.com/courses/fujifilm-x-t5-tutorial

Thank you both. I did not mean to suggest one can master a camera in a handful of days but I was looking for something to get my wife up to speed quickly. I know Canon menus and settings, i've been with Canon for 21 years. I don't know Fuji's though. So the basics is what we need help with.

Just make to shoot RAW or RAW + JPEG so as she gets used to the files more in the future reworks to the RAWs can happen! It's not like exposure is any different than any other camera Watch your highlights and the rest is easy.

I just went through the video above about the settings and tried to match my own settings on my Canon cameras. She's good to go. Now just to get used to the ergonomics. She can play with it during our trip.
