It`s nice to be able to change SHOOTING MODE, SHUTTER SPEED, APERTURE, EXP. COMPENSATION and DRIVE MODE with a single mode dial flick, but I`d argue some menu-buried settings are even more (or at least as much as) important - like auto ISO MIN. SHUTTER SPEED (when switching to shooting fast or slow paced subjects), or ISO value (when using the flash, or not), or AF MODE (when switching between moving and still subject), DRIVE SETTING (when switching between a burst and single shot), SHUTTER TYPE (switching to/from electronic shutter to stay silent, or be able to use flash), IS MODE (when using the tripod, or not)... and so on, and so on.

I don't care about the others but am surprised ISO isn't an option

Yeah, new custom settings mode dial functionality seems half-baked, to say the least, but let`s just hope it`s only the beginning of what will eventually be there (as much settings as possible, if not all of it).

Fuji`s not really known for getting all the things right in first attempt(s), even when good implementations exist elsewhere for a long time already, but at least they were known for staying focused and improving on the go, eventually getting there (and usually surpassing it, even).

Having thought more about this I agree with your half-baked comment.

What could be the reason:

- thinking that it makes things easier to operate?

- lake of proper usability testing?

- does the camera have enough non-volatile memory to hold all the settings?

They did this before - going from X-T2 to X-T3 they dropped the ability lock specific controls from a function button for no apparent reason.
