Re: Assigning frame rates/simulations to custom profiles in movie mode - X-S10 only?

Hmm, apparently we still can't do it. I'm surprised because Sony can save exact full profiles but the Custom profiles for Fuji save only half the settings, making it somewhat... useless.

What you describe has been finally allowed in latest X-S10 camera only, supported by C1 to C4 user custom settings on the mode dial.

Using PSAM control approach instead of Fuji`s traditional dedicated/manual/direct one makes this much easier, though I would still hope to get the best of both worlds (both dedicated/marked dials _and_ advanced custom settings as with X-S10, as explained here[1], and previously here[2]).

Might be currently widely known "film simulation recipe" JPEG custom settings (C1 to C7) should really be decoupled from "shooting modes" custom settings as present on X-S10 (C1 to C4), so photographers are both not forced to choose one or the other for storing in now even more limited number of custom settings banks/slots (due to physical space limit on the mode dial), but being able to mix and match them as they find appropriate as well.

For example, "shooting modes" custom settings could contain different camera setups for "sports" (or "birds in flight"), "low light", "flash", etc; while "film simulation recipe" custom settings could store different JPEG setups for "Kodachrome 64", "Kodak Tri-X 400", etc (see "Fuji X Weekly"[3] for more examples).
