FW 4.0 & reprogrammable video button


x-tc

Recommended Posts

I have read that FW on X-T10 allows you to use the red video button as a general purpose Fn button.

I have not seen this stated for FW 4.0 on X-T1.  

 

Can anyone think of why Fuji would not allow you to do the same on X-T1 with FW 4.0? I'm at a loss as to why this would be the case.

No - I wish the X-T1 did!

ah got it.. confused me there. My post was about trying to understand why the firmware on X-T10 would allow reprogrammable buttons  but hold back that same change on upcoming X-T1 firmware.

I asked a Fuji tech rep last week about the Video Button on the X-T1 and he tells me that it is hard wired differently than the X-T10 and, therefore, can not be reprogrammed to be a function button as on the X-T10

It seems like the "Fuji tech rep" has no clue.

Wow that sucks kids! I'm really glad the button is reprogrammable on my X-T10 (I use it for ISO because that way I can see/alter the auto-ISO settings unlike in the Q menu). Although I HATE the awkward delay on that particular button even when reprogrammed, which means you need to hold it down WAY longer than any other button, but not so long that it triggers the "choose what this button does" menu. It's awkward to get right (especially since you can't even feel if it's pushed down) and I've ended up in front of people trying multiple times to push it which is embarassing.

 

I'm with Flysurfer in supposing that the rep was making things up that had more truthiness than truth. Fuji kind of sucks at making buttons programmable (AF-L AE-L as mention and see also: Trash button in shooting mode), so I'd just assume they didn't do it at first and consider it too much hassle to change all the relevant menus now.

The not enough programmable buttons is something Olympus is quite good at addressing, on the OM-D E-M5, if you can press it, you can basically change it into whatever you want, which is really impressive work on their side.
