I don’t shoot shoot jpegs or mess with recipe presets at all so this limitation isn’t especially problematic for me, but I find it incredible how little thinking Fuji put into making these alternate-style cameras more longtime Fuji user friendly. It’s almost like they went out of their way to intentionally putting roadblocks in the way of configuring and using these cameras in any way that would be familiar and intuitive to “classic” Fuji shooters. You can’t even have exposure compensation on the front dial (like all the X-T cameras).

what makes you think this? Most things can be customised.

I looked at the manual. Unless I missed something, Exposure Compensation looks to be only assignable to the rear dial.

You missed it - this is by far the most customizable FujiFilm camera I've seen

Given the challenges already detailed, such a general statement amounts to no defense at all. You don't seem to have a solution for those of us who don't want to be bound by the stated limitations.

No, he’s right. I took a deeper look at the manual, and while there isn’t an option to set EC to the front dial, per se, there is one to reverse the front and rear dial assignments which should make it possible.

That's good news at least.
