Suggestion for an improved speed dial

[Immanuel]

I don't know how to make suggestions to Fuji, so I'll make this thread. Who knows, if it gets popular, maybe Patrick will start an attention attracting poll?
 

 

So we have a speed dial going from A to 8000/4000 to 4 to T to B. I have two suggestions for improvement.

 

1) A and B are hard stops. That is quite annoying when A and T are my two most used modes. Making the dial a continuous controller will make it much faster going from A to B.

 

2) I suggest an extra setting: TM (T minimum). The difference between T and TM is that TM allows the camera to go faster than the set time.
 

 

This will be my dream ergonomics for semi-manual shooting in situations where I do not want to go fully manual:

Controlling A with the ring on the lens

Controlling exposure with the front wheel with compensation dial set to C.

 

Controlling minimum shutter speed with the back wheel.

 

 

This will be an improvement in a number of situations. One being going from fast moving subjects to still subjects and wanting to maintain the best possible auto ISO settings. Another being going from a wide angle zoom position to a narrow angle zoom position and wanting to avoid camera shake.

I was thinking about number 1, too. It would be great to go from A to T quickly. The thing is, speed dial is a stone age concept. It so cumbersome to use on a fly. I don't use it. I use the rear dial for shutter speed. But, I like the speed dial and I don't want it removed from Fuji bodies, because it looks so cool !
