Quick Start Guide FUJIFILM X100V

• Named menu tabs are what you use to change capture settings. Move the Focus Lever left to scroll by tab (so you don’t have to scroll through every function to get to the next page), and move the lever right to access the desired feature 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.

The DRIVE button gives you access to burst modes, bracketing, single frame, Advanced Filters, movie mode and more. On X100V, the DRIVE button is found to the right of the hybrid viewfinder.

The photometry/metering setting determines how the camera meters exposure. On X100V, select it by pressing MENU OK > SHOOTING SETTING > PHOTOMETRY. This can also be assigned to the Q MENU or a FUNCTION BUTTON, which will be explained later.

The AE-L and AF-L buttons allow you to lock either the exposure or autofocus in a specific part of the scene, allowing you to recompose while maintaining that exposure or focus area.

Assign the AE-L/AF-L button to AE LOCK ONLY, AF LOCK ONLY or AE/AF LOCK, depending on your preferences. These can be turned on/off when the button is pressed, then pressed again, or to activate only while the button is pressed down. The functionality is changed by pressing MENU OK > SET UP > BUTTON/DIAL SETTING.

The white balance button allows you to select WB options that match your light source. You can also customize to create your own shade of white or select a specific kelvin value, which is a measure of the color temperature of light. The default setting for quick WB access is swiping right on the touchscreen.

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.

Controls, Swipes, and Dials

Customize the behavior of the camera’s function buttons and touchscreen swipe gestures.

• Press and hold the DISP BACK button to go straight to the FUNCTION (Fn) SETTING customization screen.
• Scroll through the various Fn buttons and other controls, including the gesture controls that work via X100V’s LCD screen, scrolling right to change the control’s default behavior.

Customizing Viewfinder and Touchscreen Information

The information you see when you compose a scene can be changed so only the data you need is shown.

• Press MENU OK and scroll down to the SET UP menu tab.
• Choose SCREEN SET-UP setting and scroll to DISP. CUSTOM SETTING.
• Select either OVF (optical viewfinder) or EVF/LCD (electronic viewfinder and LCD screen).
• Choose the items you’d like to see in the viewfinder and on the camera’s screen.
• Press the DISP BACK button once you’re done.

Customizing the Q Menu

The Q Menu gives you information at a glance and quick access to camera settings. You can also change what’s on the Q Menu screen to suit your way of working.

• Hold down the Q button for a couple of seconds, the customization screen will appear.
• Choose the menu item location you want to customize and press MENU OK.
• Find the function you’d like to appear in this menu location and press MENU OK.
• Repeat the above steps for each menu location you want to change. Press DISP BACK to finish.

Customizing Film Simulation Modes

You’ve probably discovered your camera’s Film Simulation modes by now, but did you know that by altering the color and contrast, you can create picture settings to your own tastes, too?

• Press the Q button to display the Q Menu.
• Adjust highlights, shadows, and color saturation with the H Tone, S Tone, and Color options using the rear command dial.

You can save these new settings as a custom preset for instant recall.

• Press MENU OK, navigate to the IMAGE QUALITY SETTING menu and choose EDIT/SAVE CUSTOM SETTING.
• Choose a custom preset number and scroll right.
• Scroll left on SAVE CURRENT SETTINGS to save. The camera will ask you to choose OK to confirm your changes.
• You can also choose to EDIT CUSTOM NAME and give the new preset a name you’ll remember.
• To load your preset, press MENU OK, navigate to the IMAGE QUALITY SETTING menu and choose SELECT CUSTOM SETTING, then find the one you saved and press MENU OK.

• Move or press the Focus Lever.
• Move the Focus Lever to shift the focus point/area up, down, left or right, or tap the area on the touchscreen.
• Rotate the front or rear command dials to change the size of the focus point/area.
• Press MENU OK or half-press the shutter release button.

Did you know quickly double pressing the Focus Lever moves the focusing point back to the center of the frame?

• Using the focus mode selector on the left side of the camera, put the X100V in AF-C mode, then press MENU OK and navigate to the AF/MF SETTING menu.
• Choose AF-C CUSTOM SETTINGS, then choose a preset 1-5 based on the action you’re photographing.
• You can also set up your own continuous focus preset using the sixth setting.

Making the Most of Manual Focus

When you’re focusing manually, the X100V offers all kinds of aids to help you achieve critical sharpness.

• • Put the camera in M focus mode using the focus mode selector, then press MENU OK and navigate to the AF/MF SETTING menu.
  • Scroll down to MF ASSIST and choose from DIGITAL SPLIT IMAGE or FOCUS PEAK HIGHLIGHT.
  • Switch on FOCUS CHECK from the AF/MF SETTING menu and the camera will enlarge a central portion of the scene when you begin to manually focus.

Optical Viewfinder

The optical viewfinder (OVF) gives a real-world view of the subject, just as you’d see with a traditional rangefinder camera.

• The bright frame lines shift when you focus the camera, to correct for any slight parallax error.
• You can see objects slightly outside the bright frame lines, allowing you to better anticipate when they might move into the picture.
• While looking through the viewfinder, press the Viewfinder Selector Lever inwards, towards the lens. This activates a small electronic display in the OVF, which gives 100% magnification to aid focusing.

Electronic Viewfinder

The electronic viewfinder (EVF) previews what you’ll get when you take a picture, from exposure and white balance, to depth-of-field and focus.

• Pressing in the rear control dial (as if it were a button) magnifies a portion of the EVF, centered around the active focusing point, to aid critical focusing.
• When you don’t want the EVF to preview exposure and/or white balance (when photographing with studio flash, for example) this can be switched off in the SET UP > SCREEN SET-UP menu. Choose the PREVIEW EXP./WB IN MANUAL MODE option.

• DCI 4K resolutions offer the best quality on X100V.
• Full HD resolutions are a good compromise between quality and storage size.
• Frame rates of 24p, 25p or 29.97p are fine for most normal applications. 24p is sometimes favored by creative filmmakers for its Hollywood look and feel.
• Footage captured at frame rates of 59.94p or 50p can capture motion more smoothly. Plus, when played back at normal speeds (30fps or 25fps) during editing, it delivers silky-smooth slow motion.
• There is also a FULL HD HIGH SPEED REC mode within the MOVIE SETTING menu where you can select up to 5x slow motion. When this mode is activated, the regular movie mode is unavailable.

Continuous Focusing with Video

Switch to AF-C using the focus mode selector and the X100V will adjust focusing as you film, tracking people around the frame if Face Detection is switched on. You can turn this on from the AF/MF SETTING > FACE/EYE DETECTION SETTING menu. (You can also assign this to the Q Menu.) You can choose from two focus areas: MULTI, which uses the whole frame and focuses on the closest object to the camera, and AREA, which lets you be more selective. Find this in MOVIE SETTING > MOVIE AF MODE.
