X-E5 reassign the exposure compensation dial

[CatholicStreamer]

The huge, and for me completely useless, exposure compensation dial could be useful if I could reassign it as an ISO wheel.   I use a Leica M11 a lot and a Fuji X-T5 a lot and having the exposure triangle on the top of the camera and back of the lens is the ideal position.  Let it be assigned to any function, but ISO would be perfect.

Who changes exposure compensation off of 0 often enough to even warrant a big wheel like that?  It gets in the way when I have students using the X-T5, they bump up against it and then their photos are too bright or too dark.  If Fuji gets into the firmware to assign the exposure compensation dial, also make it possible for us to disable the wheel in firmware on this and every camera that has the dial.

You can disable the Exposure Compensation dial by setting it as a lock function in the Button/Dial menu.

Then a long press on the menu button will lock or unlock it.

This applies to most recent FujiFilm cameras including X-E5 and X-T5.

That's very helpful.  Thank you!

So being greedy, I still want to be able to reassign the exposure compensation dial to be an ISO wheel.

Might be nice but they will never do it when they have a marked dial

Perhaps if they can sell us a $100 sticker to put on the dial to change it to ISO markers and if you buy the sticker you can change the function.
