Besides, "SELECT CUSTOM SETTING" and "EDIT/SAVE CUSTOM SETTING" menu options which used to operate on JPEG-related ("image quality") options are now dealing with new shooting options instead (what the two lists show in my original post), so there doesn`t seem to be a way to edit/save previously available JPEG-related options anymore...

You can Edit/Save Custom setting in the IQ Menu just like you always could since the X-Pro1. On my X-Pro2 and now X100V I assign the Select Custom Settings to an Fn button because the viewfinder is clear of other information, as opposed to it being cluttered with other Q-Menu squares.

But that`s exactly what I`m saying - you _can`t_ "Edit/Save Custom setting in the IQ Menu just like you always could since the X-Pro1" anymore, it`s changed now.

For example (and already mentioned in original post), X-T4 had these items inside "EDIT/SAVE CUSTOM SETTING" IQ menu:

  • IMAGE SIZE
  • IMAGE QUALITY
  • RAW RECORDING
  • FILM SIMULATION
  • MONOCHROMATIC COLOR
  • GRAIN EFFECT
  • COLOR CHROME EFFECT
  • COLOR CHROME FX BLUE
  • WHITE BALANCE (* with shift!)
  • DYNAMIC RANGE
  • D RANGE PRIORITY
  • TONE CURVE (= HIGHLIGHT TONE + SHADOW TONE)
  • COLOR
  • SHARPNESS
  • HIGH ISO NR
  • CLARITY
    ... etc.

The very same "EDIT/SAVE CUSTOM SETTING" IQ menu option in new X-S10 has these items now only (pp. 67-68 of PDF manual[1], or online[2]):

  • SHOOTING MODE
  • SHUTTER SPEED
  • APERTURE
  • EXP. COMPENSATION
  • DRIVE MODE

Thus well-known "custom setting" functionality seems to be gone now, replaced with new, X-S10 (and PSAM) specific one, unfortunately.

Think about it this way, Fuji has been refining its Q Menu for almost 10 years, they're not about to radically change it now.

That`s what I would like to think, too... except it seem it`s what they just did. Well, no radical changes in Q menu, but "SELECT CUSTOM SETTING" seems to be gone, while its original purpose (JPEG recipes) is arguably one of Fuji`s landmarks... now missing (and _that_ is radical, indeed).

Just go and check the X-S10 manual for yourself - I would like to be wrong here, but I`m afraid I am not...

p.s. You can`t assign "SELECT CUSTOM SETTING" to a function button anymore, either. Here are available functions[3]:

  • IMAGE SIZE
  • IMAGE QUALITY
  • RAW
  • FILM SIMULATION
  • GRAIN EFFECT
  • COLOR CHROME EFFECT
  • COLOR CHROME FX BLUE

  • CLARITY
  • FOCUS AREA

  • AE BKT SETTING
  • FOCUS BKT SETTING
