New X100VI User, Some questions

[Photolandscape]

I had lusted for the X100VI for months. I am going to Japan in November, and after lugging my main camera and lenses around Europe for 25 days last month (Hasselblad X2D), and being 71, I decided it was time to get a new, affordable street/documentary camera. I logged on to BH and lo and behold, found a black on immediately. I have had it for three days and have some questions/comments:

--I can't foresee ever using the video features. Is there any way to delete them from the menus?

--I find the menus to be, to put it nicely, almost impossible to wade through and interpret. Reminds me a lot of my wife's Lexus--great car, poor user interface. So my question is: is there any way to delete some of the data presented on the LCD screen--specifically, along the top where I see "4K29.97" and "5h10m30s"? I assume the "1142" I see just to the right along the top refers to how many images I can record on my SD card? And there is a little window on the right that says "Shot". What does it refer to and can I delete it?

--And one more if I may--IBIS. It looks to me like IBIS only works with the Video side of the camera, not still photography. Is that correct? I can't figure out how to activate it for still photography.

If I can solve these issues it would be a big help. I've gone through the entire 360-page digital manual but I haven't found answers to these questions.

 

Thanks in advance, Steve

No but its easy enough to ignore them

Thats for the touch screen - if you don't want to use it go into the Setup => Button/Dial Setting menu and turn it off

IBIS for stills is controlled in the Shooting menu under IS Mode - you can choose Continuous or Shooting Only

In the menu Setup => Screen Setting menu under Disp. Custom Setting you can control what appears in the LCD screen.

And yes the 1142 is an estimate of images remaining (you can get rid of that as well if you don't want it)
