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.

      X100V - How to retain menu position?

      By LauzunLee · Posted

      Is there a way to keep your menu selection on the last option you used? For example.  When I select MENU the cursor defaults to MY Menu.  I scroll up to IQ settings, make a change, and return to shooting. When I press the MENU button again the cursor is back to MY Menu.  I really want it to stay on the IQ setting I was last using (or any other Menu setting). It's a PITA to keep scrolling up and down, back to the previous setting.  (Note.  My Canon Menu retains the position of the last option I was using). Thanks in advance for any help.

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

      By Tomek666 · Posted

      Im not partal to any brad, just opted to try these based on apparent price / performance.  I'm always looking for best bang per buck, hence Fuji I guess - haha Reliabilty does not concern me, as I always shoot to two cards for pro work (and burst shooting is not a part of that). Made sense for me to get the cheapest / fastest CF cards for hobby shooting.     I just got a Sabrent Rocket V60 512GB cheep (as the back-up card).   As long as neither of these freeze the camera I hope its a cheep solution for my needs. (AB AV Pro SE 512Gb and Sabrent Rocket V60 512GB).  Half a gig of redunat storge for $200USD is something I can live with. (Especially considering I can bust the hell out of the Anglebird). Cheers, Tomek

      Charing battery inside the X-H2 over USB

      By Tomek666 · Posted

      Would using an external charger be of benefit to the batteries life? I appreace it can be faster, but I doin't mind pluging in the camera over USB to charge. Does charging via the camera do as good a job as lets say the fuji's own external charger? Does the camera stop charging once the battry is full and not over charge? I couldn't find these deatails in these forums or in the manual. Thank you!   Image below shot on X-T2 in a sunny studio.

      How to turn OFF the wifi antenna

      By jerryy · Posted

      It is really easy to find out if the wifi is on. Your computer or tablet or cell phone will have a network settings dealing with wifi, bluetooth, ethernet or “other”. Open that up and go into the section for wifi, and take note of which networks are listed. Turn on the camera and keep watching the list of networks. If your camera’s wifi is turned on, a new network should suddenly show up in your computer/tablet/phone’s network listings. Now go into the camera’s menus and start a wireless connection (the x-app or camera remote app can help you with this). You should see a network show up now. It is not hidden because it has to be visible so that your computer/tablet/phone can join the camera’s network to transfer images. Turn the camera off and that network should disappear. Turn the camera back on and see what happens.
