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!... ;)

      Hello. Thankyou,now Is all more clear: I have take some time in your link. Let tell you. I has totaly forget this machine have "compress picture option" and not Only "compress lossless" anyway not change the experiment. RAW  and this last two format look like same result about Number of recording picture. Can tell all results in this: in raw you can make 17 pictures for second. Is wrong. Is about One single Press and wait buffer. Full 30/20/10/8 not change. After 17 Need Press again. You not can Press before "redgreen light recording Is on".   With preshot you can have 25  are more 7 pictures . The story change Only in jpg shot only. In jpg at 30 you have 30 picture but redgreen light off very Fast so you can shot very quicly. At 20 shot Is about start look like infinite shot. 60. So the best performance are this last One  about Speed and recording picture after camera working witout big limit. I want take a shot about Italy cyclet Just for passion. I think i Will use this last setting.  After Need check when battery not are full change and ambient temp.  Anyway my cam look like exactly specific about you link. Im Happy my cam working perfectly.

      I do not use Flickr, so I do not know what their BB code is. All I did was copy the second link you provided, (starting at https: and ending at  _k.jpg — leave off the [img] and [/img] tags) and pasted it into the message. After a moment, a message popped up asking if I wanted to paste it as the image or as a plain link. I did this twice, the first time I had it paste in as the image and the second time as a link. Nothing fancy or tricky.

      So do I just copy the BB code from flickr and paste it anywhere on the page like other forums or is there some other trick I need to perform to get it to post?
