Book on the Fuji XT2?

[SquarePeg37 8]

I prefer a book to a video for instructions. Any good recommendations for something to accompany the manual? I got a ton of insight from the Mastering the Nikon 7100 book that someone on here recommended but I don't see a version of it for the XT2.

The Fujifilm X-T2: 120 X-Pert Tips to Get the Most Out of Your Camera

Haven't read it but it's popular. I have encountered a few of his articles and book excerpts where I had to question the depth of his technical understanding, but generally OK.

The camera is so easy to use or it was for me coming from using a lot of film. I manual focus more than autofocus because it's so effective with the peaking highlights. I thought of getting that book just to understand some of the menu settings but the thing is, I am rarely in the menu while shooting as I setup all my buttons and Q button (quick) menu. The reason I haven't got the book is due to the two firmware updates as it added more features. So I opted for the new updated firmware manual instead. Still a few settings I'm not sure about.

Thanks for the tip. It has some excellent reviews on Amazon.

Well I think I'll be feeling like a total newb. I have never shot film using a slr and never used a Fuji. I'm not much for manual focus either due to my eyes being so old! I've been exclusive with Nikon since 2004 or 2005 I think. Before that I had a little Canon powershot film camera.

I get it. I was all Nikon. You will find it is much more intuitive, most of it is external via dials. Menu system is way, way, simpler than Nikon. You can literally look at it and figure it out how to use it taking it out of the box, it's that simple. ISO dial, apeture ring, shutter speed dial.
