Finally I understand this too. Chris, you’re priceless for the Fujifilm community. All your videos should be included with any new camera sold. Thank you for your quality content!
Agreed. Just re-do some of the videos and cut out some of the cutesy nonsense. IMO that harms rather than enhances these presentations...which are, otherwise, very good. I'm a Jack Webb guy: just the facts, lady, just the facts. Just give us the information--like Maarten Heilbron does. If I want entertainment I'll...wait a minute, I don't want entertainment!!! Just the facts!
I see the topic of your video and I say to myself, "I know all about that." Then I watch the video anyway and you teach me so much more than I thought I knew. Thanks for the detail and all your hard work.
A 3 year old video and it's GOLD. I barely use it because I didn't understand well enough and I haven't come across a good explanation yet. This is by far the best explanation of the Q menu ever!
Yeah, I didn’t either. Maybe they should have called it based since the settings are based off the Q menu number. But I guess they meant for it to let you know you’re making changes from the base settings of the Q number.
Important missing information: The 3 auto ISO settings are specific to each custom set. So you can effectively have 7x3=21 different kinds of auto iso settings. This is what made the Q menu most interesting to me. Thanks for another great video.
@@pal2tech Wow Chris thank you so much for sharing your thoughts about Q menu & Custom packages. Well: What 's the best uses for both "Q Menu" and "My Settings"? What difference do you make between the two? And how do you decide to assign a function to one or the other? For example, my uses: > I assigned my most used settings (photometry, timer, face/eyes detection, etc) to "My settings" (= HOW THE CAMERA WORKS), VS > I want to dedicate the Q-Menu to customize film simulations, sharpness, black and white, color rendering, etc. (= WHAT THE PICTURE WILL LOOK LIKE) What do you think? Can I improve anything? Thank you so much for your help ;) greatings from France. Your channel is the more precise about the use of the Fujifilm gear. Sooo helpful.
hey pal2tech! I don't always comment, but I do always watch and like your videos ever since I got my xt4 last year. a lot of your tips, like this video, have been invaluable, and always give me some extra motivation to go out and shoot. I just want to say thank you very much and keep up the great work :)
It's not too often I write love letters in these forums, but to you I want to say I love you for taking the time to explain all of this. I was just about ready to give up on my Fujifilm X100s camera, when along comes you with your easy to understand suggestions. Thank you so much! Now that I see what an awesome camera I have, I think I'll hold onto it, thanks to you. (smile with heart).
I’ve been watching your videos for a while as a non Fujifilm owner. An Olympus shooter who was gravitating towards Fujifilm. And now, having bought my first x series ( an x-t1 in 2022!) it’s gratifying to watch your video as a Fujifilm owner. The Q menu had me scratching my head cos I couldn’t seem to save the settings I made. Knew you would be the one to make it clearer! Thank you.
I've avoided the Q menu on my T4 for the past two years because I found it really confusing, even after watching this a year ago! I only realized the potential for it after trying to learn how to use a PSAM dial on my girlfriend's D700 and looking at it through the lens of the X-H2! Now I'm going to spend the weekend setting them up! Will make shooting for different platforms that I want to post jpegs to so much easier! Thank you again Pal, years later and your advice and tutorials will still be revered and useful :)
I just got myself an X-T3 and your collection of lessons has been gold for me. This one is amazing. How would I ever understand these concepts weren't you unpacking it all for me? Thank you.
Wow... as a recent owner of a T-4, I am delighted to see a new option to explore with the 'Q'... and I just created my first ever Custom Setting... thanks... this has helped me clean up and pare down the 'My Menu' setting... making life simpler...
I’m so sorry for the delay in seeing this… I get so behind lately in managing my YT account and am trying to get help. But seriously, thank you so much for your kind donation!! This means a lot to me and really helps out the channel!!! You ROCK!!! Thanks again and all the best to you!!!
After watching your video three times I finally understood. It was the "Base" designation that was really throwing me through a loop! Thanks to you, Chris, I now feel comfortable using different FujiFilm recipes and the "Q" menu. Loved the Tesla analogy - it really helped. Cheers!
On the point of editing the Q menu, on my X-T4, I have the working menu set to transparent background. The edit menu has a black background so it easy to know which state is being used. Also, I not sure it is obvious (although you did allude to it) that it is a good idea to keep C1 as "standard" without any custom settings so that you have somewhere you can quickly get Back to base, so to speak. I also want to add my thanks to you for the tremendous work you do putting these very informative videos together. You have made using my X-T4 a pleasure. I do read the manual which does a fair job of describing functions etc. but you bring them to life, telling us how things work together (or not, as the case may be). I got first to use Fujifilm cameras with an X100V and have this year bought a pre-owned X-T4 an d really enjoy the step up.
You can't rename the custom settings on the xt20, but this video and the channel is still great for learning how to use the xt20, because alot of the settings are similar.
Holy S-word! I just found this (well, TH-cam found and pushed it to me). Fuji owes you BIG TIME (and I’ll check out that donation button). I’m 2+ months into my x100v, have used the Q menu and love both. Now I’ll love them both more. 🙏
I did use the Q menu before but not fully understood it. Well, until now. Thanks man! Somebody wrote in one of your other videos that this is the best channel for Fuji cameras and he is absolutely correct.
Ah, now I understand! Not sure how much I’ll use Q still, but at least now I know how to! Still not sure what to set the items to! The custom settings info was fantastic, definitely useful! Thanks for a brilliant video, as always, Chris!
Thank you, thank you! I was floundering trying to understand how to change the parameter values and have them persist. Your video is the most complete of similar-intended videos. Now I understand! You should be sponsored by Fuji!
Best video done so far, the Q menu is easy to use hard to explain m mate you have done what others could not, made it easy to understand, apply and use, well done
The Q menu is a gamechanger to me, I can easily set settings when the situation demands it! The Q-menu while in playback to summon the built-in RAW Conversion is also my fave! Can't wait for that tutorial! ;)
I was so confused with the Q menu on the XT30 and I spent weeks working it out, especially the Base bit. Wished I'd seen your video first and saved some time, but it was good to know I got there any how. I still didn't understand about the red dot though and I'm grateful to find out about it now. Cheers for that Chris.
You are the best youtuber in teaching camera. You layout information so simple and easy understand. You create fun atmosphere to learn and attract peoples. You are very highly educated not like other just talk loud and not explaining thing well.
Setting up my Q menu on my XT3, I was having difficulties in setting my Iso as one major items that I use exclusively . I like your enthusiasm in teaching those of use that have no patience in reading the manual.Thank you.
Just started to install some custom film recipes and this video has made me understood the Q menu better, and stop my confusion as to all these base and none-base labels. Thanks
Definitely cleared up a few issues. Never really needed any of this for my landscape images but with two young children I've started to setup my camera for some quick on the fly shooting, playing with simulations and recipes and it's really helped me understand more some the customization that possible.
Thank you very much for these Fuji tutorial videos. The manual from the box doesn't cover many features that I learnt from your videos. It's pretty helpful, thank you.
I’ve been putting away the Q menu all this time. You’re giving me the strength to get in to it! So, now I’ve got two tasks to work on - practising writing skill with Apple Pencil and figuring out the Q menu on XT4! Thanks Chris!
Like you I’ve shied away from the Q menu, not really knowing what I was doing. After watching your well explained video I’m going to try different menus. You’re an excellent explainer.
Thank you. I was just about there with the Q menu and custom settings but you've cleared up the BASE issue which I didn't quite understand and I didn't know about holding down the Q button for 2 secs. Another really useful, high quality and fun video.
You are such a fantastic teacher. I really appreciate all of the preparation and time that you spend on these videos. I take any opportunity I can to recommend your channel. (High praise from a former public school teacher!)
You realize that it's going to take watching this over and over several times and working with my camera at the same time to get all this to stick in my mind. A lot of information here. Thanks
I have always heavily customized my Q menu ever since I got my X-T2. I was a beta tester of the camera (my camera serial number is my name) and it has been a delight. Most people have no idea how to do it so great job covering it. HOWEVER Fuji really missed a trick and I have messaged them nearly every year to tell them they need to do this. Here's the trick. Enable Aperture, ISO, shutter speed and BRACKETING modes to be assignable to the Q menu. WHY? I regularly shoot in the studio, indoors with flash and also outdoors with flash. I also sometimes shoot time lapse or bracket exposures. Being able to set these to various Q mode settings would make changing these EFFORTLESS. 1 flick of the Q menu and I have a camera set up to PRECISELY the job at hand. But they haven't, and so it is actually fairly useless. For a RAW shooter, or if you are shooting video, most of the Q menu is useless.
This! Hear hear! In the studio i want fixed settings with one click. Leaving everything in auto and with a single custom setting everythingset incl the withe balance.
It's not so easy to do that when you have dials for Aperture, ISO, shutter speed. (ok, you could disable them at the same time) On the other PSAM cameras it is easy to implement. Fuji already did it with the X-S10 too.
@@patrick.991 It‘s just as easy to do on e.g. the x-t3 or x-t4 with the „movie optimized control“ setting. It was what I expected, it‘s how I came across this video. I was trying to find out why the hell my shutter speed and framerate wouldn‘t be kept in my custom settings. It makes no sense and is a little disappointing.
@wfp My thoughts exactly! How the XH2 addresses this. If it doesn't, it doesn't be a deal breaker but this is convenience that makes the UX infinitely better for people like us who want to switch the camera quickly like you would do with a modern automatic car/motorcycle that can switch between economy/performance etc.
Thank you - the best explanation - detail , how, and why + results that I have seen on the Q Menu. After long Covid spell of not using my camer at all for almost a yr. I had given up on comprehending this. You went the extra mile in explaining. Fast but hey I have a pause button!! I will be looking at you other videos and subscribe. Again Tks.
Suuuuuper helpful, thank you! I've figured out most of this on my own, but still get confused and am probably not making best use of these menus. This will really help me go back and set a full suit of shooting styles on XT-3.
This is such an awesome explanation, thank you! Understanding the "Base" designation has always been super confusing but that makes perfect sense they way you explained it.
Thanks Chris, this was very helpful. A useful follow up to this would be setting up recipes in the custom settings and an explanation of how to deal with saving the WB shift part of the recipe. It seems that some of the newer Fujis allow this but some don't.
Oh wow thank you for doing a deep dive into a feature that I bet most stay the heck away from. The UI leaves much to be desired! PS long form vids by this channel are great IMO. I don’t watch too much in my day. Quality over quantity, always.
I've not yet moved to Fuji for my smaller camera system.. But will understand the Q menu more when I do, and Wii come back for a refresher to my liked videos. Thank you sir...
I have a private list with tutorials about photography and trust me, most of them are comming from pal2tech. I'm beginner in fotography, i'm still learning and your channel it's my masterclass, thank you! 🥰
I've had a long stint away from photography due to work changes.. anyway I'm back. I just wanted to say how much of a great job you do with you videos!. They are very informative, you're genuinely enthusiastic and overall the best channel for all my fujifilm needs. Thanks for your great work!
You can just press the command dial to punch in what you just selected with the very same dial on the Q menu. Easier than pressing OK or half shutter. Great Vid!
If someone didnt know, you can save every edit to your q custom setting automatically, enable/disable in IQ menu page 3 in the very end - "auto update"
As a run and gun music video shooter, the Q menu, switching between 24FPs and 60FPS for performance/B-Roll seems really good to learn. Thanks for the knowledge bombs as always!
Outstanding! Until I watched this video I had spent a couple hours with the manual & various "Tutorials" muddling around in a confused state. Thank you
OMG! I came back to this video this morning because last night I was drawing a blank on a very simple step. I have the touch screen function turned off. I wanted to use the Quick Menu to select a 2 second timer. For the life of me I could not remember how to adjust the settings once I selected an item in the Q Menu. I kept trying to use the D Pad buttons which of course moved to the next item in the menu. Damn brain burps!!! Jeez, simply using the rear command dial never occurred to me at the moment. Hope your tree situation has gotten under control. Take care Chris...
Your content is sooo good in many ways!! It's helping me so much with my fuji X-T30!! THANK YOU Pal..or should I say Chris hahah. Big hug from Brazil!!!
Awesome and clear explanation. I'm embarrassed to say I reset the Xt3 twice because "BASE" had changed to "BASE C1" and I couldn't get Base back. Thank you.
Chris...although I have some Sony familiarity, I'm a long-time Canon user. But I added an XT-3 because I wanted something more 'portable'. Your channel has been required watching for me! Thanks for all the helpful info and tips! (now, if I could just figure out why this look sort of 'blurry' through the viewfinder, but quite clear and clean on the screen. Hmmm...) Thanks!
Another top video! Thanks for these top tips. Your delivery and topic coverage is excellent. If it’s not already noticed by Fuji then I hope they support you soon, your channel definitely deserves it. Please don’t change the format, length or delivery, you have an absolutely fantastic channel for fuji users here!

Fuji needs to hire you for product training. You're a wonderful educator.

It’s a very steep learning curve for those new to the system
Thanks Chris!!! You are the real Fuji guy (Fuji guide).
I have a private list with tutorials about photography and trust me, most of them are comming from pal2tech. I'm beginner in fotography, i'm still learning and your channel it's my masterclass, thank you! 🥰
I've had a long stint away from photography due to work changes.. anyway I'm back. I just wanted to say how much of a great job you do with you videos!. They are very informative, you're genuinely enthusiastic and overall the best channel for all my fujifilm needs. Thanks for your great work!
Wow, the Q menu is more complicated than I realized. I have been avoiding it. Thank you, Chris!
You can just press the command dial to punch in what you just selected with the very same dial on the Q menu. Easier than pressing OK or half shutter.
Great Vid!
Dude , you help me soooo much , you're my master , no jokes 🙌🏼
I will never figure this out without this tutorial... Thank you...
This such a gem of a video! My X-S10 has similar abilities and now I'm able to set my custom 1-2-3-4 to settings for my specific needs! Thank you! :)
You are my fuji go to guy! Thanks!
Wow, thanks!
Chris, you are always the best!
Great vid ! Thank you sir for helping me set up my newly acquired X-H1. Love from South Africa 🇿🇦
Second time around this great walkthrough on the Custom Settings, and I now fully understand about 'bases' and varients. Many thanks for sharing 👌
If someone didnt know, you can save every edit to your q custom setting automatically, enable/disable in IQ menu page 3 in the very end - "auto update"
This was super useful. Learned something new!
Awesome!
As a run and gun music video shooter, the Q menu, switching between 24FPs and 60FPS for performance/B-Roll seems really good to learn.
Thanks for the knowledge bombs as always!
Very helpful! The base explanation makes sense now. Thanks!
Outstanding! Until I watched this video I had spent a couple hours with the manual & various "Tutorials" muddling around in a confused state. Thank you
Very good video. I use it as a refresher because after s while not shooting with the Fuji, these things can be forgotten. Thanks.
OMG! I came back to this video this morning because last night I was drawing a blank on a very simple step. I have the touch screen function turned off. I wanted to use the Quick Menu to select a 2 second timer. For the life of me I could not remember how to adjust the settings once I selected an item in the Q Menu. I kept trying to use the D Pad buttons which of course moved to the next item in the menu. Damn brain burps!!! Jeez, simply using the rear command dial never occurred to me at the moment. Hope your tree situation has gotten under control. Take care Chris...
Thanks you for such a great explanation. I’m finding all of your videos super helpful for my new XT50.
Your content is sooo good in many ways!! It's helping me so much with my fuji X-T30!! THANK YOU Pal..or should I say Chris hahah. Big hug from Brazil!!!
best fuji film videos so far .
Thank you, you are very helpful , i just bought a fuji x-s10 and I have found the right answers in your video.
Best Fuji Tutor in the world!👌
Awesome and clear explanation. I'm embarrassed to say I reset the Xt3 twice because "BASE" had changed to "BASE C1" and I couldn't get Base back. Thank you.
Chris...although I have some Sony familiarity, I'm a long-time Canon user. But I added an XT-3 because I wanted something more 'portable'. Your channel has been required watching for me! Thanks for all the helpful info and tips! (now, if I could just figure out why this look sort of 'blurry' through the viewfinder, but quite clear and clean on the screen. Hmmm...) Thanks!
The one I needed. period. Thank you so so much for such clear explanation!
Another top video! Thanks for these top tips. Your delivery and topic coverage is excellent. If it’s not already noticed by Fuji then I hope they support you soon, your channel definitely deserves it. Please don’t change the format, length or delivery, you have an absolutely fantastic channel for fuji users here!
Thank you Chris, you are a wonderful educator.
