What this course is
A complete beginner-to-confident path for one specific camera and one specific lens. Every setting is named exactly as it appears in the X-M5’s menus, every recommendation says why, and every claim about how the camera behaves is traceable to Fujifilm’s own documentation.
It is built around two questions you will actually ask: “what does this setting do?” and “what should I use in this situation, and why?” The manual answers the first. This course answers both, and it is honest about the limits of the kit — the missing viewfinder, the absent stabiliser, the variable aperture — because working with them is the skill.

Set the camera up
Charge, format, mount, and change the twelve settings that turn factory defaults into a camera set up for learning. About an hour.
02

Aperture, shutter, ISO, dynamic range, focus and colour — each tied to the dials on this body and the limits of this lens.
03
