Thank you Vittorio for your thoughts on the X-H2s!

In another forum someone wrote he could not find a way to map ISO to a dial. I think this is important to me. I am shooting wildlife always in full Manuel Mode. I often change shutter speed and ISO between shots, and it has to be done fast. I would like to be able to change also ISO without any clicking or meny diving. Is this not possible?

Yes - sort of - you only have two dials so one is for aperture and one is for shutter speed in manual mode.

To change ISO you press the ISO function button - next to the shutter button and the rear dial becomes the ISO dial until you press the ISO button again. It's an easy and fast compromise.

Thanks, ok! In that case, If I just use the ring on the lens for aperture the dial can always stay on ISO?

Unfortunately not. I exaggerated when I said the rear dial stays as ISO - it only stays until you have changed the value or dismissed the selection. Each time you need to change ISO you have to press the ISO function button.

Thank you for making this clear! But, what a pity!

While it can’t be mapped only to the dial it was surprisingly easy to find the button and change ISO without looking up from the viewfinder or even really thinking about it. Much easier than on my old Canon 5D mark iii
