After 12 years and still owning 6 Fujifilm bodies I've only just begun looking at the Q Menu. I tried on my own and got stuck. Your post helped me master it. I can't thank you enough. I've subscribed.

At long last, some easy to follow and direct instructions. Thank you. I just purchased a X Pro 3 yesterday and was trying to work out how to add recipes in. You did good!

*WB is the only option that does not save to the custom setting.*

When you adjust the +/- R and +/- B in the WB, that will be kept. For example, you use the Daylight and +2R -3B for the 1st recipe, and the 2nd recipe needs that Daylight but -3R +5B. Now the old R and B value Daylight in 1st will be overwritten. When you dial into the 1st recipe in the Q menu, it still shows the WB = Daylight, but the R and B value is the value of the 2nd recipe. * In other words, R and B are independent values and need to be re-adjusted every time you switch between recipes with a similar WB value.* Same with K value or default WB preset.

I tested with XT30. I don't know about newer firmware because XT30 is no longer software-supported by Fuji.

Great job! Super informative. Was lost before this video

[seansithekun]

Very useful and easy explanation… love this kind of teaching ….. not complicated

[christianpetersen]

Thank you for a clear explanation. Very useful to me as I received my 100V only 2 days ago. Subbed

Good video but you forgot to mention that the white balance shift (offset) doesn’t change when you switch between recipes on older fuji fujifilm cameras. I’ve heard that newer fuji cameras such as the xt3 don’t have this issue, however i haven’t tested it myself. Since the recipes rely heavily on WB and WB shift settings, it really is a pain to have to manually adjust the wb shift every time when a different recipe is loaded. Fix this issue fuji!!

[carolinezaramati]

Thanks Scott for this very useful tutorial 🌸

[Mgtowfreedom]

thanks, great short explanation on this fabulous Fiji feature

[vassilis]

Very helpful video but I have a question …what about the settings regarding ISO and Exposure compensation? How I save them to the recipe ?

[urdenify]

Thank you for the video.
On Fuji xt20 can't change the recipes names. Any idea?

[scottparis]

Thanks for this. There are hundreds of recipes on the web, but nobody mentions how to save them.
I guess once you know how, it seems too obvious to mention.

[HumoudAlOmar]

Thanks for this really helpful video!!

[IanPayne]

I have been using Fujifilm since I had my new xt2 but I only overshoot in raw but now I have a x100v I wanted to try some of these custom jpegs but couldn't find out how...you sir have just fixed that.

Thanks

I don't see color chrome in my IQ? Is there a way to display it?

[thingshappenin]

Hi, I'm new to Fuji, bought a used x-t5 and I noticed previous own has amazing recipes/simulations saved to the camera. Is there a way to save those recipes to the computer and/or sd card?
I'd like to back them up before I do a fresh camera reset and reset all settings then re-load the recipes.

[tophpapasidero]

I wish this wasn’t so hard, on the first step when you hit the Q menu button I don’t have the same option in the top left as shown, I have shooting mode?

[Narsuitus]

When I press the Q button on my Fuji X-Pro2, I see an icon that indicates that the Q menu is locked.
How do I unlock it?

[crowdedairways]

Thank you very much for a great video!!

Seemingly can't be achieved with an X-E2 model. Not able to save custom white balance values; e.g., stuck with default R:0 B:0
