X-E2s question about saving Fn button settings as a custom set

[Ranjan]

Hi folks,

 

I have two related questions regarding the X-E2s.

 

1. It seems that for shooting movies, the only way to do so is to assign one of the function buttons since there does not seem to be a menu option or other way to toggle movies on and off.

...

2. I was hoping that the function key assignment would get saved with the custom sets but it does not seem to be the case and the function key assignments are shared by all custom sets, in other words are independent of the custom sets.

Is there any way of not using the function keys to toggle the movie-on/off operation? Is this the case with other fuji cameras as well: T1, Pro2, T20, T2...?

 

Thanks,

 

Ranjan

It's same behavior across Fuji X cameras, you can only use functional button to on/off Movie recording

 

X-T1 Movie button initially was dedicated to do that. Only in later FW updates that button become function (with some delay though).

 

And yes, Fuji "custom setting" set only stores limited amount of settings mostly related to image tweaks. I'd better name it "custom film settings" for less confusion : )

Another brands like Nikon/Panasonic/etc. can store full set of overall camera settings in their "custom set", which I'd name "custom camera settings".
