That is the definition of Aperture priority.
The ISO dial on your X-Pro 2 has no markings, have you noticed? How do you know what dial is for ISO, or what ISO you've chosen with no markings?
As mentioned, I don't use that function, but it appears the camera stays in Aperture Priority with settable limits on ISO and min. Shutter speed.
Why do you desire a photographer-set ISO value?
My post was tongue-in-cheek. I know you can set p mode on fuji dials. My point is I've never used it with fuji or any other camera with pasm.
No, the definition of aperture priority is to give priority to the aperture, which is what all these cameras do in A mode whether they’re in auto ISO or not; the aperture you set is the aperture that is used and everything else adjusts automatically around that. Including ISO, if that’s also set to auto.
The ISO dial on the X-Pro2 is marked.
So, just to be clear, the EC dial cannot be relied on to set the desired shutter speed in that instance. For that you need to take manual control of the shutter, which on the XT100 means first changing mode, then setting the shutter speed.
The exposure.
The EC dial is meant for telling the camera you want to bias its metering. If you are not shooting manual exposure you do not know exactly what it will do. Apart from that, Sjak says he's mainly shooting manual. That mans he would have to change his handling based on whether he is in M or Av (I guess he'll never be in P).
This is my way to control the noise level + speed; with auto I'd never know what ISO the camera would choose, too high may not be too good, too low may cause blur
Don't shoot RAF often these days for birds , JPGs are good enough since I tend to shoot thousands per outing, most would be discarded in favor of the best shots; only shoot RAW with landscapes + challenging light
Yes, and I use ISO for that and to some degree aperture (less so since the 100-400 + TC have rather slow aperture)
Nice idea but waste of real estate AFAIC but better than XH1 whereby you have to press +/- while adjusting with the wheel
That's what I said above.
In aperture priority I don't expect to be manually setting the shutter speed. That's why it's called "aperture" "priority." EC allows slight variations to the set exposure. You're quite excited about minutia it seems.
Exactly.
Sorry, I was thinking about the other non-PASM Fuji cameras (X-E2, X-T20, X-T30) that don't have marked ISO dials.I didn`t know Fuji has 2 Versions of the X-pro2 !
My X-pro2 has a marked ISO dial !
X-pro2 combined shutter and ISO
No, it isn’t. What you said is that “in aperture priority ... the ISO is set manually” and that doesn’t have to be the case at all. Which is why your EC answer to quickly setting a shutter speed without changing mode doesn’t work.
You replied to Sjak originally to say that, when he (not you) wanted to jump straight from aperture priority to a particular shutter speed on a PASM camera, he could just use the EC dial without changing mode. That isn’t always the case, and the truth is Sjak was right, and the Fuji system of shutter/aperture dials is better for him and quicker to work with in the situation he’s describing. Call clearing that up minutia if you will.
Which is different to shutter speed, thank you.
I mainly shoot in aperture priority. I know exactly what it does when I turn the EC dial. It changes the exposure up or down by x-amount by changing the shutter speed. Aperture and ISO stay where I set them. The EC amount and SS are displayed in the EVF and on the screen.
No, the camera is capable of all kinds of adjustments. But as I said dozens of times, I use aperture priority which means you set the aperture and ISO and the camera changes just one variable: the shutter speed. You can deviate from that basic mode all you want but it has nothing to do with mode changing.
It works fine, what are you talking about
It doesn't even rise to the level of minutia. You seem to think this is an argument that needs to be won when all we're talking talking about here is preferences. I have both non-PASM and PASM Fuji cameras. Using them almost daily has informed my opinion. How many Fuji PASM cameras have you used? Good luck with your quest.

Canon has been doing exactly this with their focusing on EF lenses. Half press to autofocus, then manual override if needed. Doesn't Fuji have this option, I though it does.
