The press and hold a button while spinning a wheel didn't seem all that intuitive to me especially when one had to more the finger that would go on the shutter. The fact it could be reprogrammed as an on/off switch was good.

For me personally, on the X-H1 the "press and hold" is a bit inconvenient due to the layout/location of the buttons but at least you always know what each button or dial does.

When you make it an on/off switch, it could be in a state you don't expect and you change the wrong setting on your camera!

Even worse are the on/off switches that jump back to their "default" after a few seconds because then if you are too slow to start changing whatever value, suddenly you change something else.

(My former Canon APS-C body did both, on different dials).

So overal I prefer the "hold button while spinning the wheel" because to me it is more predictable.
