Shooting Set-up
Rotate the rear command dial to change the shutter speed, rotate the front command dial to change the ISO. The Aperture can be changed by rotating the Aperture ring located on the lens or to control the Aperture from the body of the camera, press and hold the Aperture ring lock release on the lens and rotate the lens to the letter ‘C,’ then release the ring lock. This will allow you to ‘Command’ the Aperture from the front command dial of the camera body if you press and release the front command dial, which will switch the function from ISO to Aperture and vice versa.
Rotate the mode dial to toggle between M (Manual), S (Shutter Priority Mode), P (Program Mode) or A (Aperture Priority Mode). The modes labeled C1-C6 are Custom Modes that can store advanced camera settings for easier access even after the camera is turned off and can be programmed in the menu. MENU OK > IQ [IMAGE QUALITY SETTING] > EDIT/SAVE CUSTOM SETTING > EDIT/CHECK SETTING.
The MENU OK button is used to access deeper levels of camera functionality beyond what is offered by function buttons, dials, and switches.
- Category menu tabs are what you use to change capture settings. Push left on the FOCUS STICK to scroll by tab (so you don’t have to scroll through every function to get to the next page), and press right on the FOCUS STICK to access desired features and MENU OK to select.
- The wrench icon indicates SET UP and features settings including Power Management, Button/Dial Setting and Screen Set-Up. Choose DISP. CUSTOM SETTING from the SCREEN SET-UP menu to select what information shows on the EVF/LCD.
- Finally, the MY MENU is a customized menu that you create based on your most frequently accessed menu items. Add and rank to move them in any order you like and remove them under USER SETTING in the SET UP menu. If items are added to the “My Menu”, then My Menu will be the default (with full menu access still available). There will be separate MY MENUs for both STILLS and MOVIE mode.
Press the DRIVE button to the left of the Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) to bring up a sub-menu for shooting choices such as Focus Bracketing, Multi Exposure, Continuous Shooting and more. You can toggle through the available choices by pushing up or down on the FOCUS STICK. Further options for drive modes can be found under MENU OK > SHOOTING SETTING (AE BKT SETTING, FILM SIMULATION BKT, FOCUS BKT) or individual Bracketing settings can be assigned to a FUNCTION button.
The photometry/metering setting determines how the camera measures exposure. On the GFX100S, select it by pressing MENU OK > SHOOTING SETTING > PHOTOMETRY. This can also be assigned to the Q MENU or a FUNCTION BUTTON.
Note: When the FACE/EYE DETECTION SETTING is turned on, choosing different PHOTOMETRY types will be disabled.
The AE-L button allows you to lock exposure in a specific part of the scene, allowing you to recompose while maintaining the exposure. Auto Exposure Lock is also linked to the shutter button upon pressing, but can be unlinked in the Menu OK>SETUP>BUTTON DIAL SETTINGS.
The AF ON button initiates autofocus in all FOCUS MODES including AF-S, AF-C, and Manual. Autofocus will still be attached to the SHUTTER button, but can be removed by MENU OK > SET UP > BUTTON DIAL SETTINGS> SHUTTER AF > AF-S or AF-C. This will remove AF from the shutter button when turned off and can be isolated to AF-S, AS-C, or both.
The DISP BACK button allows you to select how you’d like information displayed on the LCD and/or EVF. You can customize the information being displayed in SET UP > SCREEN SET-UP > DISP. CUSTOM SETTING.
The maximum flash sync speed is 1/125th for standard flash types. For higher shutter speeds you will need to use High Speed Sync which is offered by most major flash systems including Fujifilm, Profoto, Elinchrom and Godox. A Fujifilm compatible trigger will be needed for TTL and HSS operation.
Go to the menu and then CONNECTION SETTING and set PC CONNECTION MODE to USB AUTO. Connect the camera to your computer via USB-C and it will automatically be detected. Then launch your software of choice. In some software, additional selections may be necessary in Preferences or other software menus.
