The mistake he made in the video actually illustrates why PASM can be less confusing. He put the shutter dial to "Auto" and said he was in shutter priority mode. Nope, switching shutter to Auto means APERTURE priority, and he had to correct that with text overlay on the video. I guess he only had 5 seconds with the camera, or he would have reshot such a short video instead of taking the time to create the correction overlay, but I digress. With the Fujifilm setup, you have to have different combinations of dials in Auto mode to attain a given priority mode that is not necessarily associated with the dial name that was set to Auto. There is no labeling for modes. You just have to know or learn these from the nanny program mode cameras from the late film era.
Saying "Aperture Priority" or "Shutter Priority" is a PASM mindset.
