Custom profiles and mount adapter settings

[pmb76]

I just bought XT5 last week after selling XT3 and today took it for a walk.

I've decided to stick to just one lens and it was adapted Pentax 50mm.

Apart from normal settings I used two custom presets and noticed that when I first switched to different profile I had to change focal lenght of adapted lens in mount adapter settings.

Changes that I've made initially in normal mode, ie. setting focal length and naming the lens were "gone" after first switch to custom profile.

What it means is, every time you change adapted lens in "normal" mode or using custom profiles you have to update focal length if you going to change to different custom profile.

I don't recall seeing this on XT3 probably because mount adapter settings was located in shooting settings section of the menu and not in I.Q. section like on XT5, or I never paid attention to this before.

Anyway, I find it very annoying that I have to remember to update custom profiles that I want to use on given day every time I swap lenses.

 

P.S. Apologies for my grammar, English is not my first language.

I have the same problem and i use a lot of manual lenses so its super annoying. Did you found a solution for it?

No, I haven't. I just learned to live with it.
What I would like to see is that profiles for film simulation are completely separated from the rest of the settings. Right now it acts more like just custom settings for different shooting scenarios similar to what you can find on cameras from other manufacturers.
