Hello all.

I came across an interesting video today that mentioned the possibility of setting two BBF buttons to two different modes. For wildlife, particularly Bird In Flight, it would be a game changer to have my XT4's AEL button use AF-S (or AF-C) and single point and then be able to instantly jump to the AF-ON button and have that use AF-C 5x5 focus mode as the bird or other subject starts to move.

Is this possible on our Fujis? I can't seem to find the setting if it is.

Thanks for any info.

I like this. It would be great to have several AF-On button with different modes.

I use a Canon R5 and Fuji XH2S for wildlife photography.  I have set three buttons on the R5 for Bird eye, zone and spot focus.  This is very handy when you want to switch focus planes in a hurry.

Unfortunately, I still haven't found a way to do this on the Fuji.  Fuji is great (albeit not as fast as the R5) on the bird eye focus but changing focus planes still is a challenge atleast for me.
