Relations between current settings and custom settings

Hi James

Each time that I think I have gotten a good handle on the Fuji X menu system, something happens that makes it clear that I do not have a complete understanding. The latest involves the relationship between the C1-C7 Custom Settings on the X-T3 and the camera's current settings.

I had thought that changes in any of the C1-C7 settings could only be made either through (a) complete copy of current settings or (b) selective changes done via Edit/Save Custom Settings. Apparently not. Today I realized that I needed to change the FOCUS LEVER SETTING from the default setting of ON to PUSH TO UNLOCK, so I did so. I thought I would need to make the same change in the Custom Settings, but found that the change was already made in all 7 of the Custom Settings. So, some changes made in current settings do get to the C1-C7 settings. This prompts the following questions.

1. Does this mean that changes to any current settings that are NOT on the list of things that can be changed via EDIT/SAVE CUSTOM SETTINGS will get applied to all the C1-C7 settings as well? If so, will this also apply to the X100T?

There are many settings that are not part of the custom profiles. The focus lever setting is one of them. Another one is the shutter type (MS, ES, etc.) or the photometry. Also, obviously, AF-S/AF-C/MF is not part of the custom profiles ('obviously' because it's a mechanical switch on the body).

WB shift was not part for a long time but now with the newer models, it is. Thanks God.

You can select and edit your settings for each custom profile in the menu. All other settings are not part of the custom profiles.

2. What settings are in the C1-C7 bins when the camera comes from the factory? I had assumed that they were all set to the same factory defaults as when the camera is turned on for the first time. I did not inspect each of the Custom Settings on my X-T3 when I first got it, but they all had different Film Simulations.

Don't remember.

Forgive the verbosity for what might be simple questions. I have not found answers in the manual, but maybe I have missed a footnote or two.

For Fujifilm beginners, it may all not be quick to understand.

Also, it is not obvious what settings affect jpeg only and what settings also change the raw.

Once you got used to it, it works great. I've been a Fujifilm addict for more than 3 years.
