I agree - it's a crazy place to have put the Q button; I'm accidentally activating it all the time. The trouble is, I do use the Q screen quite often, so locking the button isn't an option for me. Here's hoping Fuji finds a more sensible location for it on the X-H2, when that eventually arrives!

Good point. It was a moment of optimism, soon dashed. I gave up after that. The 'none' option I found just inserts a 'none' in the Q menu itself, so just a null option, the point of which is not clear to me, but is of no use. I'm still struggling whenever I use that camera off a tripod -- and sometimes even on a tripod -- with hitting the Q when I'm going from landscape to portrait, etc. Sorry to hold out the glimmer of hope.

I found the perfect way to avoid accidentally hitting the Q menu button and thats to learn how to use back button focus.

To anyone who's not sure what back button focus is, it's when you use the AF-ON button as your focus button instead of the shutter button. This is good for two reasons, 1. when pressing the AF-ON button to focus you use your thumb keeping it well away from the Q button. 2. and most importantly you can press and keep pressing the AF-ON button to focus and then use the shutter button to take the photo, and if after you have taken the photo you keep pressing the AF-ON button you wont need to keep re-focusing if you are shooting the same subject because its already in focus, all you have to do is keep firing the shutter.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

I am new here and noticed this thread (which I guess is somewhat old), but I was wondering: So at this time, is there really no way to completely disable the Q button on the X-H1? 

I have an X-T30 and on that you can set it to "-"/"NONE" and then the Q button doesn't do anything when you are shooting (it does seem to still do something when in playback).  I think this was added in a later firmware than the original X-T30 firmware. 

I am thinking of buying an X-H1, but it would be bad if there is really no way to disable to Q button, or at least re-assign the Q function to a different button, so I wanted to check.

Thanks,

Jim

1) Setup Menu -> Button/Dial Setting -> Lock -> Lock Setting -> Selected Function

2) Setup Menu -> Button/Dial Setting -> Lock -> Function Selection -> Q Button

I can't imagine nothing easier!... ;)

      pocket wizard and XT5?

      By LBAbrams · Posted

      Has anyone successfully used pocket wizards with an XT5? I cannot get it to fire.  Do Fujis and pocket wizards get along? Thanks in advance for your wisdom on this, kind readers!

      Grzegorz, Go to the Networking Setting in your camera menu (the last one at the bottom - unless you have a My Menu then that is the last one). There, go to Network Setting and choose the SSID (name) of your WiFi network, type in the password, choose "SET". If you have a functioning DHCP server on your network, the camera should get its IP address (and Subnet_Mask and Gateway). If not, you can enter these manually. It is a little tricky, there will be some zeros already here, move the cursor after the zero and use DEL to delete it and make space in the input fields for your own correct values. If you do not know what to enter, have a look at values in the network settings of your computer and use the same except for the IP address, try some fairly higher number, hopefully you hit an unused one. Usually the values would be something like IP: 192.168.1.188, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, Gateway IP: 192.168.1.1  or something like that, take clues from your computer. The camera and computer must be on the same network. Then in Connection Mode on the camera, choose Wireless Tethering Fixed. And half-press the shutter to exit the menu and get in shooting mode. The red LED should be blinking. If you can look at your network devices, e.g. on your router, you should see the camera there. You can see check the camera settings in the camera menu in the INFORMATION item of the Network Setting menu to see the MAC address of your camera and look for it in the list of devices on your network.  Then use the tethering in your software, e.g. in Capture One. The camera may not show immediately, take a shot and then it should show in the list of available cameras. Good luck. Report back how did you fare.  PS If you have a Windows machine, you need to have Bonjour installed and running. Macs have it.

      X-T30 II Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display viewmode not working

      By grizzski · Posted

      Hey all, I just got my first camera. The X-T30 II. It seems the Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display view-mode is doing the exact same thing as just the Eye Sensor view-mode setting. Any ideas why this is or what's supposed to be happening? Firmware Version: 2.04

      Problem with multi exposure on XT5

      By George_P · Posted

      What GordW said. You have to put the drive mode dial to "S" - Single Frame. If you have it on CL, CH, BKT or Panorama (or HDR), the Multiple Exposure option will be greyed out in the shootng menu. On my X-T5 it works in RAW + JPG and also in JPG only. When Multiple Exposure is switched on, the image quality cannot be set to RAW only. If it was set to RAW only before switching Multiple Exposure On, image quality defaults to RAW+Fine. The result is JPG. After each shot press MENU/OK and after the last one press DISP/BACK.
