X SERIES UNLIMITED
A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE FOR MASTERING TECHNIQUES AND MAXIMIZING CREATIVITY WITH YOUR FUJIFILM CAMERA
My bestselling 329-page guide will teach you everything you need to know in order to gain mastery with your Fuji and achieve maximum performance from your camera and total creative liberation with your photography.
"Your book is incredible."
Any Fuji shooter without this book is missing out.
"Your book is a Godsend."
I could have paid a couple of hundred for a live class and not learned as much.
Written for all Fuji X users, my bestselling X Series guide will help you reach full creative and technical potential with your camera. I meet a lot of Fuji shooters who are super excited about the gear, but who don't even know a fraction of what their cameras can do. This is not surprising, and it's certainly no comment on them as intelligent or competent shooters.
For as clean and classic as they are on the outside, when you dig deep, you find that there is an astonishing set of features tucked away inside all of the X Series models. And it's not like the manual is very helpful. While it explains every single feature, they don't really tell you how to use these features in real life.
That's where I come in.
Having shot with the X Series cameras for nearly six years, and worked closely with with the FUJIFILM tech reps and product managers, and having taught numerous Fuji-specific workshops and classes, I know these cameras inside and out.
I know how they function out in the real world and I've tested them with a wide range of subject matter, often in extremely challenging conditions, environments and sooting situations. As a professional photographer, X Series ambassador, instructor and expert user, I feel I'm exactly the right person to write this guide.
Expert knowledge with such clarity, written in such a friendly manner -- a rare achievement!
X Series unlimited is comprehensive, well-illustrated and clear, logically set out with fantastic cross-references and written in such a friendly non-pretentious style that it is almost as though you were alongside the reader.
So many allegedly helpful books are sterile, analytical works that once you put them down you cannot pick them up! Anyone would think that XSeries Unlimited was written by someone who not only has gift for teaching, an in-depth knowledge of using the cameras in the field, boundless enthusiasm, practicality and a real understanding of people.
Every feature. Every Camera. Plus real-world tips and insight.
Inside this 50,000+ word Fuji ebook, I cover every single feature, every single menu item and function and more importantly, I tell you (and show you with imagery) exactly how to use these features in actual shooting situations out in the world.
X SERIES UNLIMITED is not just for the X-T2, or any particular camera model, it's for EVERY SINGLE MODEL. Most of the features found on the FUJIFILM X Series cameras are common to all the models, even older camera like the X-E1 and the original X100; even on the X10/20/30. You won't find every feature on the first-generation models, but you'll find many of them, and certainly enough to help you make great pictures!
Plus, it's very easy to navigate. I've included a "linkable" Table of Contents, that lets you quickly find the topics you need and browse the book in whatever way you want. You can use it as a quick reference, or you can dive in and explore topics in depth that pertain to you or your style.
In addition, I cover a number of topics that expand on how to get the most from your FUJFILM camera system with regards to creative approach and method. These are based on how the cameras were designed and also how we, as humans respond and relate with photography in general.
I've helped many photographers get the most from their X Series cameras, online, and in personal workshops, classes and in-store events. I've explained countless features in great detail and helped people set up and optimize their cameras, solve problems and troubleshoot common, and sometimes, uncommon issues.
Get this. I got it yesterday and am enjoying it immensely. If you are an X Series photographer this is the best guide you can get.
Now let me help you.
Between my X Series knowledge, my experience and my genuine passion for sharing my photography insight with others, I'm confident that I can help you get the most from your Fuji camera, not matter what kinds of subjects you like to shoot.
If you take the time to learn and master even a few of the these features, you'll be able to take your creative and technical skills to a whole new level of proficiency. In addition, you'll get my monthly Fuji newsletter which is full of camera and photography tips and creative insight.
I know you're going to love this book, and I hope it helps you enjoy the kind of technical mastery and creative liberation I experience with my own photography.
Let X SERIES UNLIMITED take you there. Here's what's included in the book:
Thank you for X SERIES UNLIMITED. I know it will be a good read - inspirational, in fact - just because you have written it. Having used X-series cameras for some 4 years, probably got a bit set in my ways, and followed your writings closely over the intervening years, I view this latest book as an inspirational challenge.
You nailed it!
Picked it up last week, a lot of great info inside.
Your Book is awesome.
I have learned more from it than any other book. In fact I bought the X-T2 two weeks age after starting to read the book and following your tips and comments has given me more confidence to go out and try everything.
Dan: Just cracked the e spine of your e book - I love the layout and am learning so much more about my XT1. Thank you for your hard work on this.
Great book! Can definitely recommend. 👍
Hi Dan!
I love your fantastic ebook on the Fujifilm X-System! I recommend it to all my photography colleagues!
What I like in your ebook is the fact you give some exemples on how to use these settings in practice and that helpful. So I have to say that it's the first book about Fuji that I going to finish.
I have several other X series books but, for me, yours hits the sweet spot.
I read your book straight away and it shows things about the X100F and X Pro2 (my two Fuji cameras) that have already made life easier with these two wonderful cameras. Thank you very much.
Your book is a godsend!
I now understand the importance of the Function and Q buttons and spent this morning trying to work out the best arrangement for me. I’m sure I will be delving into the book very frequently in the future.
I have been slowly working my way through the book and what I have read so far, I’ve found really useful. I think I like the format of this (X Series Unlimited) better then some of the other books I have purchased. Although the information in them is great, the big block of texts I find a little heavy going whereas, your book makes it easier to find the parts I’m interested in and the information in concise and easy to understand.
I just want to say I am SO impressed with this - I’m working my way through it slowly and discovering things as I go.
I got it! Great value. Great info.
Downloaded my copy last week fantastic and insightful read!
I just bought this book, thank you for your effort and expertise!
Just downloaded mine! Excited!
Hi Dan - Just wanted to let you know that I have started going through the ebook and I am enjoying and increasing my knowledge on using my X-T2. Some great tips! Thank You!
Dan, Well done for the updates, not many authors are as diligent as you are. A very useful book and simplifying the Fuji X cameras
Dan, I bought a copy of the book just in time for my Alaska cruise from 9/5 to 9/15. I've started to read it. I think it's the best camera book I've read by far! Trying out some of your suggestions...thanks
The book is great and a fantastic help in setting up my XT20. I moved from Nikon because I was fed up of having to carry so much gear in a back pack. Fuji has made life easier!
Loving it so far…I’m brand spankin’ new to the Fuji X world so your e-book has been a handy companion on my MacBook and iPhone when I’m not home. Thanks again for creating an amazingly useful resource.
I had the chance to take a better look of your eBook and the more I read it the more I appreciate your X SERIES UNLIMITED. It's easy to consult and I really like it !!
I am half way through your book and I love the way you make it all easy to understand. Thanks.
This book has already proved to be a tremendous help for my photography.
Thanks a million.
Your book is incredible.
Any Fuji shooter without this book is missing out.
Hi Dan, I purchased your book X-Series Unlimited after a recomendation from Thomaz at FujiLove. It's very good and I am both enjoying it and learning from it.
I’m working through your book fairly methodically, in spite of my own personal use of my Fuji gear (XT-2 + some very good glass), I have so much to learn about the extensive capabilities of my new camera, and I really appreciate having all the info in one publication. In spite of all the technical complexity, I find your writing style very informative without being too ‘dry’.
Anyone who is a #xseries shooter should check out @Danbaileyphoto new ebook.
Thanks Dan! Fantastic resource and appreciate the updates!
Hi Dan - I’ve started exploring X Series Unlimited and it is incredibly useful to me already. I swapped out all my Nikon kit for an X-T2 plus lenses about 9 months ago and even though I’m enjoying my new gear I’ve found it to be sufficiently different in operation to cause me difficulty. Even though I thought I was an experienced enough photographer to just transition effortlessly from Nikon to Fujifilm I have found it to be far from effortless!
So, when I read about your book, I reckoned I couldn’t go wrong. So far so good.
Hey Dan, I have finished your book X SERIES UNLIMITED. Very, very good indeed. It challenged some of my settings and habits while adding to my body of knowledge. I'm tempted (just a little bit) to upgrade to an X-T2 this year.
I can't speak highly enough about my friend @Danbaileyphoto's work. If you are an X series shooter this should be on your "must read" list. https://t.co/FS3Nqc4n2M
Excellent X-user guide! Opens new insight in both technique and philosophy of photography. 👍
Your book is a Godsend.
I could have paid a couple of hundred for a live class and not learned as much.
Hi Dan - Just bought XT 2, and 23mm f2.
Starting to work through X Series Unlimited. It is indeed very comprehensive. It will be a great reference for me.
Grab the bestselling eBook "X SERIES UNLIMITED" by @Danbaileyphoto...!!
Your book brought closer and deeper to my camera in way I had not yet experienced.
While I have books on The XT1 and XPro2, yours has made my relationship with my cameras really sing. Thanks to your book, I know where go to find what I need without taking my eye away from the viewfinder that to me is magical.
Get this. I got it yesterday and am enjoying it immensely. If you are an X Series photographer this is the best guide you can get.
Much better than the owners manual
I read your book cover to cover as soon as I downloaded it. I loved the voice you used - it felt like having a conversation with you about the cameras. The typos didn’t bother me at all. I thought they made the book feel more personal. I am now using it as a resource when a question occurs to me. It is much better than the owners manual.
I am just getting started with your guide. Thanks for your conscientious attention to detail!
This book is both educational and inspiring. Great style helped me understand my XT-1 and X-T20 and the thoughts about Fuji color management encourage me to try new ideas. If you have an X Series Fuji this book is highly recommended.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge in this book. It is fantastic. You have communicated a complex subject in such an accessible manner. It has made learning more about my camera a fun and joyful experience. I feel much more in tune with my XPro2 than ever before thanks to you.
I really enjoy my x100f and xt2 but have struggled with some of the finer setting detail. Your text has clarified many things for me and is certainly helping my photography especially in difficult lighting situations.
Hi Dan,
Thanks a lot for your terrific book! This was just what I was looking for and missed after I purchased the X-T2 half a year ago.
It is so extensive on the subjects that count for a learning photographer like me. And also: written very well and explained extremely clear. After reading about a quarter of the book, I've learned already so much that I didn't know about this great camera.
The book is great.
I'm a year into having my XT2, X100F and an old XT1 and this book has open my eyes to what other things my camera can do.
I wanted to say how much I loved the book! The FUJI manuals have always left so many open-ended questions that it started to become normal to skip them and Google everything - this book is a 'missing manual' for those new to the Fujifilm X Series and a comprehensive refresher for everyone else!
I think your book is outstanding. I love my Pro2 and your book fits in great on learning the Fuji system.
