X-20 Question / help

[visoflex]

I thought I was getting to grips with my new X-20 but am mystified by the indication on the LCD when I press the "Q" button for the quick menu.

No menu appears just an icon of a lock with a camera at the side, and ON indicated.

The Q button was working OK. I have searched the manual again and again but cannot find any reference to locking out the "Q" menu.

Any one know what I have done, and how I get the "Q" menu back ?.

Thanks.

David

Press and hold the MENU/OK button for a few seconds.

Other X20 features (From FujiRumors 'XPert Corner')

The X20 features a variety of shortcuts that can make your life much easier. Sometimes it’s the little things that make a difference:

• Press and hold the Q button for a few seconds to clearly increase the brightness of the LCD. This can be quite helpful when operating the camera in bright light, like on a sunny day.
• Press and hold the MENU/OK button down to lock or unlock the arrow keys and the Q button.
• A long press of the Fn button will bring up the Fn button’s configuration menu, where you can assign one of several functions. I typically assign Face Recognition On/Off to the Fn button, as I want to use this feature only in situations where I expect the camera to recognize and focus on a face. I want to be able to quickly turn this feature on and off.
• Press the DISP/BACK button for a couple seconds to activate (or deactivate) the camera’s Silent Mode. When this mode is turned on, the X20 functions quietly and inconspicuously. It won’t make any artificial noises and it abstains from using both the flash and the AF-assist lamp.
• In addition to that, pressing the DISP/BACK button while selecting an AF field in AF-S Area mode will directly select the central AF field.
• Finally, to check (or upgrade) the firmware version of the camera, press and hold the DISP/BACK button while switching on the camera.
• When using the camera’s playback mode, you can press the command dial to enlarge the current image as much as possible to inspect its sharpness.
• Rather than selecting a function in the shooting menu by pressing the OK button, you can press the shutter button halfway down. Pressing the shutter button halfway down while in playback mode switches the camera directly into shooting mode. You can wake the camera by pressing the shutter button halfway down as well.
• You can switch the camera on and off by simply pressing the playback button on the back of the camera—no need to turn the lens. The camera will enter playback mode, and only the playback and setup menus will be available. So if you want to take new pictures, you have to use the traditional way to switch-on the X20.

Thanks for that information.

I had not started looking at the first few pages of the manual, going to the menus and "Q" button info on page 60, then trawling through the pages.

This is what makes the forum so useful.

Thanks again
