| NORMAL | NORMAL+RAW |
| SUPER FINE+RAW | SUPER FINE |
| FINE+RAW | FINE |
| NORMAL+RAW | NORMAL |
| RAW | FINE |
RAW RECORDING
Choose whether to compress RAW images.
RECORDING TYPE
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| UNCOMPRESSED | RAW images are not compressed. |
| LOSSLESS | RAW images are compressed using a reversible algorithm that reduces file size with no loss of image data. The images can be viewed in Capture One Express for Fujifilm 1, Capture One for Fujifilm 1, Capture One 1, RAW FILE CONVERTER EX powered by SILKYPIX 2, FUJIFILM X RAW STUDIO, or other software that supports “lossless” RAW compression. Quality is the same as UNCOMPRESSED, but the resulting files are anywhere from about 30 to 90 percent (14-bit RAW) or 45 to 100 percent (16-bit RAW) of their uncompressed size. |
| COMPRESSED | RAW images are compressed using a “lossy”, non-reversible algorithm. Quality is about the same as UNCOMPRESSED, but the resulting files are anywhere from about 25 to 35 percent (14-bit RAW) or 30 to 40 percent (16-bit RAW) of their uncompressed size. |

OUTPUT DEPTH(bit)
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| 16bit | RAW pictures are recorded at a bit depth of 16 bits. |
| 14bit | RAW pictures are recorded at a bit depth of 14 bits. |
16bit is available in STILL IMAGE and PIXEL SHIFT MULTI SHOT drive modes only.
SELECT JPEG/HEIF
Choose whether pictures are recorded in JPEG or HEIF.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| JPEG | Pictures are recorded in the widely-supported JPEG format. |
| HEIF | Pictures are recorded in HEIF, a format with excellent compression but limited options for viewing and sharing. |
JPEG is automatically selected in place of HEIF during multiple-exposure photography.
Selecting HEIF disables CLARITY and sets COLOR SPACE to sRGB.
HEIF pictures are stored on the memory card as files with the extension “.HIF”. Before the pictures can be viewed on a computer, the extension must be changed to “.HEIC”. This occurs automatically when HEIF pictures are uploaded from the camera to a computer via USB.

- If “OVER” is displayed, lower exposure compensation and try again.
kColor Temperature
Adjust white balance to match the color temperature of the light source.
Color temperature can be adjusted to make pictures “warmer” or “colder” or deliberately produce colors that differ radically from those in real life.
-
Select k in the white balance menu. The option currently selected for color temperature will be displayed.
-
Edit the color temperature using the focus stick (focus lever) and press MENU/OK.
A fine-tuning dialog will be displayed.

Choose from values of from 2500 to 10000 K.
To exit without fine-tuning white balance, press DISP/BACK after choosing a color temperature.
-
Highlight a fine-tuning amount using the focus stick.
-
Press MENU/OK.
The changes will be applied. The selected color temperature will appear in the display.
Color Temperature
Color temperature is an objective measure of the color of a light source, expressed in Kelvin (K). Light sources with a color temperature close to that of direct sunlight appear white; light sources with a lower color temperature have a yellow or red cast, while those with a higher color temperature are tinged with blue.

This option may have no effect with some lenses.
Saved Settings
Store settings for up to 6 lenses, or choose OFF to disable corrections for focal length, distortion, color shading, and peripheral illumination.
Choosing a Focal Length
Use the focus stick (focus lever) to enter the focal length.
Distortion Correction
Choose from STRONG, MEDIUM, or WEAK options to correct BARREL or PINCUSHION distortion.
Color Shading Correction
Color (shading) variations between the center and edges of the frame can be adjusted separately for each corner.
To use color shading correction, follow the steps below.
-
Rotate the rear command dial to choose a corner. The selected corner is indicated by a triangle.
-
Use the focus stick (focus lever) to adjust shading until there is no visible difference in color between the selected corner and the center of the image.
- Press the focus stick left or right to adjust colors on the cyan–red axis.
- Press the focus stick up or down to adjust colors on the blue–yellow axis.
To determine the amount required, adjust color shading correction while taking photos of blue sky or a sheet of gray paper.
Peripheral Illumination Correction
Choose from values between –5 and +5. Choosing positive values increases peripheral illumination, while choosing negative values reduces peripheral illumination. Positive values are recommended for vintage lenses, negative values to create the effect of images taken with an antique lens or a pinhole camera.
To determine the amount required, adjust peripheral illumination correction while taking photos of blue sky or a sheet of gray paper.
EDIT LENS NAME
Change the lens name.
