I'm glad that you made this video explaining how the film simulation dial works. For myself, once I got to know its quirks, it's actually become a really handy thing that I use every time I use the X-T50. So for me, the film simulation dial has become a great tool. But yes, you do need to know how the dial behaves, especially if you use certain custom settings. Great video.
Thanks for confirming what I'd imagined this dial would do. Makes total sense to behave that way. I've got so used to using Custom settings and the Q menu that the dial is redundant for me.
Hello and thank you for this great and helpful video. While trying to understand how this simulation wheel works on my new XM-5 camera I somehow changed a setting of "C" command to Velvia and have no idea how to re-set it back to "Control" that overrides all other simulations and adjustments. So, could you please help me to figure out that? Thank you so much and have a fantastic day. Mike.
Sorry I'm not sure I'm understanding your question. With "C" set on the dial you should be able to push the front command dial until "film" is displayed and then rotate it to change the simulations.
Dear @@PeltierPhoto, thank you for the respond. My understanding is that by default a "C" value is set to override all other film simulations on this dial, and I remember changing it somehow so it doesn't do that anymore and now just gives me one of the already available film simulations which I don't need on this "C" setting. I'm trying to reset a "C" setting to the initial ("override all sims") command and have no idea how to do that...Thanks again!
I agree with your comments regarding the film simulation options and have found that it is somewhat confusing being able to select in multiple ways. I am enjoying the camera, but find that the duplication/redundancy of menu items cumbersome. Thanks for the video
I hope it helped! Seems best to just pick a way to change the film simulation and stick with that, rather than trying to use all options since it can become overwhelming to keep track of it all.
Fuji really missed a trick with FS1, 2 and 3. They should be tied to Custom Slot 1, 2 and 3. It would have stopped much of the criticism of the dial. For me, that dial is going to stay on C.
Yeah, that's very similar to what I wrote in my original article. If FS1, 2, and 3 allowed me to call up *customized* film simulations (with Tone Curve, Color Chrome adjustments, etc), this dial would have been money. Instead, it's just another way to do something we can already do in many other places and a wasted opportunity.
One of the main reasons I even bought this camera was I (naturally) assumed the FS options on the dial could be used to save custom sims. How they aren’t used for that is absolutely baffling to me. Thanks for saving me hours of trying to figure out how to do this - when you can’t.
Thank you so much for the detailed info about this. I’m deciding between xt5 and xt50. Xt5 is a lil heavy for me and xt50 is just perfect but I’m a bit confused with the film dials, your video helped! Also there’s a lot of hate comments about the xt50 film dials is it really that bad for long time fuji users?
It's "different" and not exactly what many long-time users were hoping for. I love the camera but I'm not happy with what they did with this dial. But don't let that stop you from considering the X-T50 :)
it's not bad at all. people are just exaggerating and being whiny for no reason. i am a long-time fuji user and this is my 4th fuji camera (mirrorless, double that if i include the instax cameras) and i love that it's so easy to change film simulations now and i rarely used the drive dial anyway. i'm not much into film recipes though (those recipes aren't much different for me anyway and it will be easy to tweak them if i want to). i don't like how these haters are trying to dictate how the the camera should be set up. it's those film simulations that set fuji apart from the others, the ability to do recipes were always just an additional feature that was nice to have.
That doesn’t mean it’s not confusing the hell out of people who didn’t buy the camera specifically for this dial…for them (like me, who has been with the X system since day one), this can lead to a lot of frustration.
I think Fuji may have added this dial that we really didn't need. What drew me to the camera is the 40-meg sensor, IBIS, and the new kit lens. The programmable front and rear dials, with the ability to program the buttons, make it a more versatile camera than the 100VI. I had the 100V and I missed being able to change lenses. I've been able to set up the camera close to how I use my H2s, which makes it easier to pick up and start shooting. I also like the full auto mode that I can hand the camera to someone in my family and have them just have some fun. So far, this small powerhouse is the perfect everyday camera for my needs.
Yeah, I look at it as an interchangeable-lens X100VI (though I seem to keep that small 27mm f/2 on it most of the time). The dial, though it had good intent, seems like a gimmick for marketing material because, in use, it's way too niche for the camera. They could have put something far more useful to more photographers in that spot.
The film simulation that the custom setting uses will still follow the position of the film simulation dial, regardless of the Auto Update Custom Setting choice. That's why it needs to be set to C if you want to maintain your custom setting film simulation.
The design choices for the Fujifilm X-T50 seem counterintuitive. The inclusion of seemingly pointless settings like FS1-3, the absence of a PASM mode dial, and the lack of a dedicated video record button are perplexing. Additionally, the intuitive nature of video recording mode is unclear, and the large speed dial, while visually appealing, may not be practical for novice users.

Awesome, glad you're getting some good use out of the film simulation dial! There are definitely some mixed feelings about it :)

@mikopops I believe you're thinking of the FS1-3 positions, which can be programmed in the Image Quality Setting menu.

@@PeltierPhoto we can only hope a firmware update might change things
@@sayonaras_is there a new firmware update with this?
@jordis8225 you can check firmware updates here fujifilm-x.com/en-us/support/download/firmware/cameras/x-t50/

Poor design choice for sure. Sorry you had to buy the camera first to learn that.

You can also make sure to disable "auto update custom settings". Then you can turn your camera off and on to get back your original custom settings.
The film simulation that the custom setting uses will still follow the position of the film simulation dial, regardless of the Auto Update Custom Setting choice. That's why it needs to be set to C if you want to maintain your custom setting film simulation.

It's indeed a strange mix of "traditional Fujifilm UI" and "appeal to the masses UI".
