Fujifilm X-H2 for video—how am I supposed to use this thing?

i set C1 to photo (Studio setting)

C2 to video 4K 25

C3 4K 50, FPS, C4 4K 100 fos, C5 FHD 200 fps

This is exactly what I was going to suggest as well. I use the custom settings exclusively for my video presets. C1 24fps 1/48 C2 60fps 1/60 C3 120p 1/240. C4 & C5 are 24&60 but with ProRes, C6 6.2k open gate. In the settings menu make sure to select that the custom setting is video mode and not photo mode. I reserve C7 for any kind of photo or video setting that happens to be specific to what I'm doing before I head out. Because I know what C1-C6 are and they never change it's just a flip of the dial. I thought after years with the regular Fuji dials going back to pasm would be a nightmare. With the ability to program seven custom settings I'd say this is actually my preferred control format. Whenever I need to use my XT4 for a second camera, I actually find myself fumbling around with the dials and makes me much less efficient.

coming from xpro1/2/3 xe1/2 xt2/3

i have to say custom modes are useful in studio but i miss the straightforward menu if previous series.

having separate menu for photo and video, as well 1s my menu for both, Custom modes for both, missing a lot the clickable dial zoom focus or switch between MF assist modes (peak, split, etc)

it's seem impossible to leave some settings out from C1/7 like af modes or WB.

missing an instant view on important setting (aperture, speed, etc on top lcd wit default settings when in movie control)

hating rhe new lcd always stuck with usb cables or hdmi output

really, while globally I like the custom.modes, Fujifilm implementation seem quite confusing
