    Personalising your camera<\/h2>\n\t\n\n

    Many aspects of the X-Pro2 can be customised to suit your preferences, such as controls, displays and shooting modes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Controls, swipes and dials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Customise the behaviour of the camera\u2019s function buttons and rear command dial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        <\/div>\n\n\n\n

        Did you know that you can preview the framelines of different focal lengths when using the OVF? This function is assigned to the Fn2 function button by default, which you\u2019ll find by the Viewfinder Selector Lever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        <\/div>\n\n\n\n

        Customising the Q Menu<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
