Why can't I save custom settings to a memory card?

Hello. I am surprised to find out that custom settings can only be saved and loaded using an app or software on the PC. Why can't I save the settings to a memory card and switch between them in seconds? Is this the flagship of the industry? I hope this is an easily solvable problem for Fujifilm engineers and they will solve it in upcoming firmware, or even better to have not 7 slots for custom settings but 70. )

You can! You can save up to 7 custom settings,  and you can assign a function button to cycle through them. Look out for YouTube videos on this. Or you can try and read the awful manual. The reason I don't give you the instructions here is that I don't use custom settings myself. Hopefully someone will chip in with the exact instructions.

Bob - I think the OP's problem is that you can't save those settings to a SD card in the camera. Its a problem that others have noted - although Fujifilm are moving in the right direction by recently adding the capability to the mobile phone app.

You're right, Bob misunderstood me. ) Of course I know how to use "custom settings", you don't even need a manual for that. I have 5 sets of 8 "custom settings" each, for a total of 40 "custom settings". I need to load one set or another quickly. I can't do that without an app or software on my PC. This is very frustrating. (( The "custom settings" should be saved to a memory card so that there is no need for a PC app or software. I think it's very easy for Fujifilm developers to program this.

There was another question about custom settings. Is it possible to transfer the settings saved on the PC to the smartphone? I guess I need some kind of converter from PC to Android. And there's a problem here too, I couldn't find the saved settings files on my smartphone. )) Fujifilm needs to simplify such processes, and there is a lot to work on. )

No I don't think this is possible - it would be useful if there was a common published format (perhaps xml) so the settings were easily accessible, readable and transferable - but currently they are none of these things

      Autumn is hanging around ready to take over summer's job. Locally, it will be  at least a month or longer before widespread fall colors are ready. But it is officially Autumn. And some flora are not waiting to show off their pretty colors ...

      pw pix, thanks for your sharing your experience, and I am happy to know I am not the only person whom this has happened to. I held the X-H2S and really liked it, so I wonder if that may be a better camera to switch to ...

      x-s20 3.30 firmware bluethooth xapp no longer working

      By Steve Crook · Posted

      It's a problem with the camera and phone not agreeing on how to manage the pairing. It appears to only affect phones from Oppo, OnePlus, and any other brand that uses the same oppo/OnePlus version of Android. My xt-5 was broken by a recent firmware update in exactly the same way. As far as I'm aware it's a problem with the camera firmware NOT the X-App. It's disappointing (to say the least) that this isn't going to be fixed. Also the remark that it only works with stock android is nonsense, since there are plenty of people out there with Samsung phones. What they meant was, we can't be bothered to test it on ColourOs. It would appear that Fuji are, gradually ensuring that ALL their cameras don't work with ColourOs which doesn't seem like the smartest move...

      That is typical for the X-T5, I was having a significantly worse hit rate before the last two firmware updates. A non-moving scene with a clear, central subject, plenty of light and contrast, single point AF in S mode, completely out of focus (even though it gave focus confirmation in the viewfinder) . That was with modern lenses like the XF 18/1.4 and Viltrox AF 13/1.4. It was occurring more like one in 20 photos. I still have wildly varaiable results with the XF 150-600 and C mode AF when shooting birds, sometimes it's better to have subject detection (bird) off, sometimes on. It's very frustrating out in the field and has lost me several lifetime opportunities. I like the 40MP sensor and the results when it works well, but I contemplate selling the X-T5 and purchasing an X-H2S in it's place. That seems more economically sensible than a wholesale switch to another brand for bird photography. Additionally, the recently publicised tech documents from Fuji about the AF and settings for various subjects and lens types seems to have made my X-T5 and XF 150-600mm slightly to moderately worse for bird photography.
