Understanding Custom Settings on the Fujifilm X-T5

Create, Save, and Recall Your Favorite Looks

The Fujifilm X-T5 offers a flexible and efficient way to manage your image settings through its Custom Settings feature (slots C1 to C7). Each Custom Setting lets you store a complete group of image-related parameters—such as Film Simulation, White Balance, and Dynamic Range—tailored to a specific shooting style or condition.

Whether you regularly shoot portraits, landscapes, street scenes, or black and white, Custom Settings help you switch between looks instantly, without needing to manually adjust each setting. Combined with the Q Menu and rear command dial, they provide both speed and consistency—making them an essential part of any Fuji shooter’s workflow.

📋 What Can (and Can’t) Be Saved in a Custom Setting

Custom Settings on the Fujifilm X-T5 allow you to save a wide range of image-related parameters into memory slots (C1 to C7). These settings are particularly useful when switching between different photographic styles or conditions—such as portrait, street, or landscape—where a specific combination of looks and tonal responses is preferred.

The following parameters can be included in Custom Settings. They are grouped according to the menu they belong to.
