Quick Start Guide FUJIFILM X100F

• Named menu tabs are what you use to change capture settings. Press the left button on the Selector pad to scroll by tab (so you don’t have to scroll through every function to get to the next page), and press the right button on the Selector to access 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 SETTING button gives you access to burst shooting, bracketing, single frame, Advanced Filters, and more. On the X100F, Drive functions are set using the up button on the Selector pad.

The photometry/metering setting determines how the camera meters exposure. On the X100F, select it using the top-plate Function button.

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 buttons 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 the right button on the Selector pad.

Use the View Mode button to change view from LCD to viewfinder only or EYE SENSOR + LCD IMAGE DISPLAY (for using both), which senses your eye at the viewfinder and instantly switches from LCD to EVF.

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 and Dials

Customize the behavior of the camera’s function buttons to adjust settings more quickly.

• Press and hold the DISP BACK button to go straight to the function button customization screen.
• Scroll through the various Fn buttons, scrolling right to change the control’s default behavior.

Customizing Viewfinder and Viewscreen Information

The information you see on the camera’s LCD screen and in its EVF can be changed so as much or as little data as desired 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).
• Scroll through the list and choose the items you’d like to see in the viewfinder and on the camera’s screen by pressing the MENU OK button.
• 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 you can modify these to suit your own tastes?

• 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.

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

• 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 as soon as you turn the manual focus ring.

Optical Viewfinder

The optical viewfinder (OVF) gives a real-world, real-time view of the world, 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 shot.
• 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 shoot, 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 shooting 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.

• Full HD 1080p resolutions offer the best quality on the X100F.
• HD 720p resolutions take up less room on the camera’s SD card.
• 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.
• Adjust the camera’s ISO sensitivity to get the proper exposure.

Continuous Focusing with Video

Switch to AF-C using the focus mode selector and the X100F 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.
