Fujifilm setup guide for video

I have been shooting on Fujifilm cameras since 2020, both across video and photography. Below is a starting point of a setup guide for shooting video alongside taking photos.

IMAGE menu:

• Image size: L 3:2
• IQ: Fine + RAW
• RAW recording: lossless uncompressed
• JPEG/HEIF: JPEG
• Grain effect: OFF
• Color chrome: OFF
• WB: AUTO - Ambience (change depending on shoot)
• DR: DR100

SHOOTING menu:

• Shutter type (flash): MS - use this when connecting a Flash
• Shutter type (photos): EF + M
• Zebra setting - OFF (I prefer the histogram)
• Movie optimised control - OFF, as this is the touch screen setting. I have found it interferes when moving on a busy shoot with my hand or accessories touching the screen by mistake
• Rec frame indicator - ON, this is the red frame around the image when the camera is in recording mode
• Shoot without lens - ON (you need this if shooting with manual or cine lenses)
• Shoot without card - OFF (you do not want to be shooting without anything in the camera)

AUDIO menu (varies depending on model):

• Internal mic level adjustment - OFF / 0 db
• External mic level adjustment - ON / -18DB
• Mic jack setting - MIC
• Mic level limiter - ON (avoids peaking)
• Wind filter - OFF
• Low cut filter - OFF
• Headphones volume - 7

USER settings:

• Sound setup - AF beep OFF
• Screen setup:
  • image dis. - 1.5s
  • FLOG view assist - ON - turns on the camera LUT to preview final look after LOG
• Display custom setting (info on your display):
  • Focus frame / Histogram / Shooting mode
  • Aperture / shutter speed and ISO / Focus mode
  • White balance / Film simulation
  • Frames remaining / Image size / quality
  • Movie mode and rec time
  • Mic level / Battery level
  • No memory card warning
• Button dial setting (varies depending on model):
  • Shutter speed back dial (right)
  • Aperture front dial
  • ISO left dial
• Power management:
  • Auto power off - OFF (this setting causes issues if you are recording RAW)
  • Performance - normal
