Fuji x-t2 and metering mode

[Neverwinter]

Hi,

 

just got my x-t2 since few hours and going through the menus I can't find a way to assign the Metering mode (spot, center, wide) to an Fn button.

Anyone experiencing the same or am I just overlooking something here?

 

Thanks for your answers.

Might not be able to as its hard wired to the collar underneath the SS dial.

I'm able to on my Nikon D800, it's about reassigning a function, shouldn't matter if hard wired or not.

The Nikon D800 is not an X-T2 as is pretty obvious!

Just use the button underneath the shutter dial, that's what it's for...

 

Also, on an evf, I find it easier to not bother much with metering anymore and just use the evf and exposure compensation. That's usually faster for my needs.

Its just how Fuji work they give you certain things hard wired on the X-T2 the things that they think you will use the most SS, Aperture, ISO, Metering and Drive modes. They then give you 8? assignable function buttons to customize yourself. Personally I have found the metering collar to be in a sensible location as I can switch modes with my shutter finger before taking the shot, very very quickly.

 

Experiment and you will find that with use the camera becomes very intuitive and fast to use.
