Q menu and custom menu settings

[Ray Thompson]

I am not clear if the custom menu is the same as the quick menu  settings. I have tried changing a number of setting on one quick menu page but it seems to change them all.Im trying to get a number of bespoke quick menu pages ie one to seven but I cant seem to make them all different. I can manage to rename them all but not give then different settings and save them.

Don't confuse the two things.

Custom Settings C1-C7 allow you to set up virtual film types for JPEG shooting.

The Q Menu is a control panel that allow you to see and to change 16 different camera settings of your choice. Unlike function buttons, the Q Menu shows the current setting as well as allowing you to change the setting. There is only one Q Menu. It is the Q Menu.

As shipped by the factory, one of the settings in the Q Menu is the Custom Setting. That's the only connection between the two, but somehow people manage to get them confused all the time.

Thanks for the info Doug.  I have a friend who recently bought an X100f who wants to use recipes for a specific film but didn't know how to save it.  I never had the need and even though I have used the system for about 4 years, never used custom settings or the Q menu so I didn't know the answer.  Searching "Fuji Custom Settings" after reading your note gave me all he will need to know.
