Agreed. Just re-do some of the videos and cut out some of the cutesy nonsense. IMO that harms rather than enhances these presentations...which are, otherwise, very good. I'm a Jack Webb guy: just the facts, lady, just the facts. Just give us the information--like Maarten Heilbron does. If I want entertainment I'll...wait a minute, I don't want entertainment!!!

Important missing information: The 3 auto ISO settings are specific to each custom set. So you can effectively have 7x3=21 different kinds of auto iso settings. This is what made the Q menu most interesting to me. Thanks for another great video.

@@pal2tech Wow Chris thank you so much for sharing your thoughts about Q menu & Custom packages. Well: What 's the best uses for both "Q Menu" and "My Settings"? What difference do you make between the two? And how do you decide to assign a function to one or the other? For example, my uses: > I assigned my most used settings (photometry, timer, face/eyes detection, etc) to "My settings" (= HOW THE CAMERA WORKS), VS > I want to dedicate the Q-Menu to customize film simulations, sharpness, black and white, color rendering, etc. (= WHAT THE PICTURE WILL LOOK LIKE) What do you think? Can I improve anything? Thank you so much for your help ;) greatings from France. Your channel is the more precise about the use of the Fujifilm gear. Sooo helpful.

@BobbieBA 3 года назад

Hey Chris, Thanks again for putting another video out that answered my question! I just got back from Ecuador shooting hummingbirds. I only used RAW. sometimes I was shooting using a multi-flash setup and sometimes using natural light. I wanted to easily and more quickly go from ISO500, SS1/250, f18 to ISO3200, SS1/1500, f5.6. I was hoping there was a custom setting I could set up. You explained that the custom setting packages feature is for JPEG and saved me doing myself crazy trying to figure out how to create a preset with EXIF combos. I love my fuji but am usually the lone fuji shooter in a group. Most people are Canon/Nikon or Sony. I had customization envy since the 2 Sony mirrorless users were able too easily toggle between different baselines. I got the job done but it always took me a bit longer to access and change setting (also Electronic vs. mechanical when shooting with flash or preview exposure and WB when shooting dark subject in prep for flash). Hope all this makes sense. It was a challenge for me and you answered to question finally. Can't do these presets or custom packages for RAW shooting with other parameters.

I only realized the potential for it after trying to learn how to use a PSAM dial on my girlfriend's D700 and looking at it through the lens of the X-H2! Now I'm going to spend the weekend setting them up! Will make shooting for different platforms that I want to post jpegs to so much easier! Thank you again Pal, years later and your advice and tutorials will still be revered and useful :)
