Find Your Perfect Photo Style
A camera should be so easy to use that it becomes an extension of your eye. To achieve that, X-S10 has a number of functions that let you customize camera controls to suit your personal style of photography.
■Customizability
Easily accessed from the camera’s top plate, X-S10’s mode dial features four custom positions, C1 to C4, where your favorite image quality, focus, and drive settings can all be saved and instantly recalled. For example, use C1 for high-speed continuous drive and AF settings, which can be used to photograph fast-moving subjects, while keeping electronic shutter settings saved to C2 to be ready for situations where silence is required. No matter what you decide, these custom positions are sure to keep you more focused on making your image and less focused on navigating the camera’s menus.
■Quick Menu
Adding to X-S10’s usability, the Q menu can be used to instantly recall up to 16 frequently used menus to let you quickly change between focus modes and enable features like Eye Detection AF, for example. Additionally, since the image is still visible behind the Q menu, customizing it to show fewer items can help you monitor the image more easily as you are making changes to your settings.
■Fn Buttons
Spend less time navigating menus and more time making images by mapping the features you use most to X-S10’s dedicated Fn button and Fn dial. If you have more than two favorites, map up to an additional five of your favorite menu items to any of the five other customizable buttons on the camera body. Just hold the DISP/ BACK button on the back of the camera to start living a menu-free life.
