Understanding Quick Menu and Custom Settings on the Fujifilm X-T5

Easily Customize Your Camera for Efficient Shooting + Full 8-pages PDF Guide for Edit/Save Custom Setting

If you’re passionate about photography and want to get the most out of your Fujifilm X-T5, mastering the Custom Settings and Quick Menus is key. But did you know that the structure of the Quick Menu determines the structure of your Custom Settings? In this post, we’ll explain why that matters and how to make the best use of these customizable tools.

Quick Menu and Custom Settings: A Shared Structure

The Quick Menu (Q Menu) is a fast-access panel where you can store and access your favorite settings with ease. Each Quick Menu consists of 4, 8, 12, or 16 slots, each assigned to a specific parameter (ISO, film simulation, white balance, etc.).

Custom Settings, on the other hand, are pre-configured sets of settings that you can recall instantly (C1 to C7). The key point is that their structure mirrors the Quick Menu:

• If you modify the Quick Menu in Still Mode, it automatically changes the structure of the Custom Settings for Still Mode.

• Likewise, any changes made to the Quick Menu in Movie Mode will affect the Custom Settings for video.

Why Is This Important?

Understanding this connection is crucial for organizing your menus efficiently. By planning the structure of your Quick Menu, you also define how your Custom Settings will be arranged, allowing for faster, more consistent access to your preferred configurations.
