Hello! I just purchased a XT-4 and I am coming from being a lifelong Nikon shooter. I would like to setup my new Fuji with easy access to some of the most common settings. Some things I like to change quite a bit on my Nikons have been the metering modes and focus points and modes. I am sure there are other things that I might want, but I haven't really used it much yet. Is there a cheat sheet with a list of the recommended settings and customizable menu shortcuts? I am looking forward to learning much more about this camera. Thanks!!!

The printed manual will tell you what settings are customizable and what your choices are. Spend some time with it. As far as recommended settings, the camera is yours and only you know what works for you. Another person's settings are irrelevant. IMO, you will be much more satisfied learning the camera and all of its capabilities rather than looking at other people's setups. You learn by doing (a wise man once told me.) It is a great camera and I have spent much time customizing mine. And, it has been fun! Enjoy. BTW, I also came from Nikon to Fujifilm.

I bought the xt4 just 2 weeks ago... but been using xt20 for 3 years....

Metering mode - already on the D-pad , focus point is already on the joy stick.. ( I love this coming from xt20).. in fact you can re-mapped almost all of the button on the camera...

Q menu (Q button is your best bet... it is configurable and can be save into 7.. C1...C7)

I always setup "my menu" so that it is easy to connect my camera to my phone for image transfer...and a lot of things you can add... overall the xt4 and most of fuji cameras are easily re-mapped.

      After 20 years with Canon (EOS100, 300D, 5D2, 7D2) I ditched everything and moved to Fuji XH2S a year and a half ago. I had been holding out for a mirrorless 7D2 but was disappointed when the R7 was released and realised that the XH2S was actually what the R7 should have been, and Fuji seem to be the only company taking APSC seriously.  It also felt like Canon were pricing themselves out of the enthusiast market (£120 for a battery, come on!). Blocking third party lenses was the final straw for me as most of my lenses had been Sigma. Anyway, I haven't looked back since. Is the XH2S perfect? No, but everything is a compromise and this gives me the best functionality/weight/price balance for what I do. I shoot mainly wildlife and landscapes but occasionally other stuff like local events, all just for fun.

      Photos on Angelbird AV Pro SX 160GB vs SE 512GB

      By Tomek666 · Posted

      So I ended up getting and X-H2 over the X-T5 because of a good deal that came up.  Needing to buy a card, I needed to figure out,  what is the real impact of a card's speed for photos?   In particular, I'm going to test how shooting at 15 FPS will differ between: Angelbird - AV PRO CFexpress B SE - 512 GB and Angelbird AV PRO CFexpress SX - 160 GB. How many shots can I get off before buffer fills, and how long does it take for the buffer to clear?    MOP: X-H2 Factory rest, card formated, no lens (body cap on), performance boost on, manual exposure, mechanical SS @ 1/8000, IS off, Shoting RAW Compressed Lossless with only one card in. Held shutter release till buffer filled, and used stop watch to see how long for buffer to clear. Subtracted two frames from total taken as that's how long it takes me to release the trigger once the buffer is full. Repeat 2x for sanity check.   ***TEST RESULTS***   ~~~64GB Lexar Pro SD 150MB/s~~~ 75 shots to fill buffer, 36 Seconds to clear it   ~~~Angelbird AV Pro SX 160GB~~~ 251 shots to fill buffer, 5 Seconds to clear it   .~~~Angelbird AV Pro SE 512GB~~~ 232 shots to fill buffer, 4 Seconds to clear it     ***Conculsion***   If burst shooting an X-H2 at 15 FPS is your thing, buy the Anglebird 512GB SE for the same price as the 160GB SX.   Below is a shot on X-T2 w/ the Fuji 70-300. I manged to fluke it off with a dead battery by turning the camera off and on again, and squeezing three more shots out (this was the last shot).   Ta for now!
