Camera Set-up
In M, A, or S mode, and to a limited degree in P mode, GFX100 II’s physical controls can be used to adjust aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. To change aperture, rotate the Aperture ring located on the lens. Alternatively, press and hold the Aperture ring lock on the lens and rotate the Aperture ring to the C position. Aperture can now be controlled by rotating the front command dial on the camera. ISO is also controlled by rotating the front command dial. Press and release the dial to alternate between aperture and ISO control. Shutter speed is controlled by rotating the rear command dial.
Rotate the mode dial to toggle between M (Manual), A (Aperture Priority mode), S (Shutter Priority mode), and P (Program mode). If the mode dial is locked, press and release the small button at its center. Dial positions C1-C6 are custom modes that can store advanced camera settings for easier access, even after the camera is turned off. Each numbered slot stores different settings in STILL and MOVIE modes.
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 used to change 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 – then push right on the Focus Stick to access desired features, and MENU OK to select.
The wrench icon indicates SET UP, with 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 category is a customized menu that you create based on your most frequently accessed menu items. Add, rank, and remove them under USER SETTING in the SET UP menu. There will be separate MY MENUs for both STILL and MOVIE modes.
Press the DRIVE button to the left of the Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) to bring up a sub-menu for imaging choices such as Continuous Shooting, Multiple Exposure, Pixel Shift Multi-Shot, and more. You can toggle through the available choices using 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 GFX100 II, 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 and SUBJECT DETECT settings are turned on, choosing different PHOTOMETRY types will be disabled.
The AE-L button allows you to lock exposure. Auto Exposure Lock is also linked to the shutter button. Half-press the shutter to lock exposure. This can be unlinked by going to MENU OK > SET UP > BUTTON DIAL SETTINGS > SHUTTER AE.
The AF ON button initiates autofocus in all FOCUS MODES across AF-S, AF-C, and Manual. Autofocus will still be attached to the shutter button, but can be removed by navigating to MENU OK > SET UP > BUTTON DIAL SETTINGS > SHUTTER AF > AF-S or AF-C. When set to OFF, the shutter button will not initiate autofocus. This can be applied to AF-S, AS-C, or both.
The DISP BACK button allows you to select how information is displayed on the LCD and/or EVF. You can customize the information being displayed in MENU OK > SET UP > SCREEN SET-UP > DISP. CUSTOM SETTING.
The maximum flash sync speed is 1/125 sec 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 is needed for TTL and HSS operation.
