I currently have my x-h2s set up with iso, expo comp, and aperture on the front dial and then another button set up to switch between those (I can't remember the name of the function right now) that's what the "clicks" are for unless I'm just not understanding what you mean.

The function button you've programmed is called "Front Command Dial Switch" which lets you cycle through those 3 front dial options.
dgbarar thought this shouldn't be possible on the X-H2/S because you can't click/press the command dials inwards. But, as you've found - Fuji have been clever and made that "click" function available to switch between the 3 options by adding it as a programmable button option.

Gentlemen:
That not what manual states. It shows three distinct set-ups for the Front Command Dial: Front Command Dial 1 (click 1), Front Command Dial 2 (click 2), and Front Command Dial 3 (click 3).
However, Front Command Dial 2 and Front Command Dial 3 are not available on the X-H2S. and can not be assigned to any other button. All you get is Front Command Dial 1 and whatever function you assign to it: ISO, Exposure Compensation, Aperture, Shutter Speed, and None.
Have you tried it? I have. Again, Front Command Dial 2 and Front Command Dial 3 are not available the X-H2(S).

Best you take it up with Fuji then, because it’s in the new features guide for firmware V5, which I posted a screenshot from, and the OP has it working as per their post, and the chap in the video I linked to earlier.
As I’ve now said three times you have to assign a button to “Front Command Dial Switch” and that toggles between the three options you’ve assigned in those positions for the front dial.
It is also in the online manual and says:

Did you try it?

We have both said, on multiple occasions, it is a possibility with both cameras now as the latest update has added functionality to switch between those options as if there were a clickable button. If you have a problem with yours maybe update if you haven't or contact Fuji customer support.

Yes, both of you have told me what you think and what the manual says. But neither of you have confirmed that you have tried.
I have. tried. And, I am here to tell you that Front Command Dial 2 and Front Command Dial 3 are not available on the X-H2(S).
Again. Have you tried it?

I have literally said I have tried it, multiple times and that's how I now have my xh2s set up because it works. At this point I think you're just having a laugh.

No laugh jmonero. Delighted you tried.
- How have you set up Front Command Dial 2 and Front Command Dial 3.
- How are you accessing Front Command Dial 2 and From Command Dial 3.

There seems to be a lot of confusion about how setting the Front Comand Dial works on the X-H2S.
The Front Command Dial settings are different for each shooting mode (P/A/S/M), and you need to set them for each mode independently..
The camera will not let you change a setting that is not available in the mode you are currently using. e.g., if you are in mode A, you can't set the Command Dial to Shutter Speed, because Aperture Priority means that SS is being selected automatically be the camera.
It can get kind of tricky pickiing what you want to assign to each slot in order to stay consistent across the modes. Mode P only gives you Program Shift and EC as options, but I don't use P, so I don't care. In A, S & M, I assign F to 1, ISO to 2, EC to 3 and SS to the rear dial. When a setting is not available for the mode, you can set the position to "None" for consistency, orif you prefer, to whatever is available, for convenience.

I would just like to add to the above that setting this up properly is a two step process:
- Set the functions to the command dial (in whichever shooting mode you want to)
- Assign the function "Command Dial Switch" to one of the function buttons.
And please note that if you have not assigned functions to the command dial in a particular shooting mode, when you are in that mode, pushing the "Command Dial Switch" button will have no effect.
Make sure you are in a shooting mode in which you did assign some functions to the command dial. Your Command Dial Switch should then work (i.e. toggling you through the assigned functions).

Hi Pete,
Now I understand. Front Command Dial Switch needs to be assigned to another button to toggle between Front Command Dial 1, Front Command Dial 2 and Front Command Dial 3.
Way to go Fuji. Taking what used to be a simple process with a clickable wheel. We now have to move our finger from the command wheel, to another button to change the function of the command wheel, then back to the command wheel. Some, who do not understand concept of wasted motion, are calling this process "clever". I disagree.
This X-H2(S) are so against the entire "lean" movement that started in Japan following WWII. I never thought a Japanese company could make such a mockery of things. But then again, I never conceived of a company called Fujifilm.
