Fuji XT30 Menu Setup for Videography - a quick user guide for XT30 videographers

Please leave a question for the 1k Q&A and say hello! And I’m sorry if the video felt repetitive, but the way you approach this camera is just as important as the settings in my opinion. (my full Fuji XT4 Review is coming soon)

    Hi John, I like the way you put this tutorial together, I have often seen how the individual button mapping could be done before, but never how you use them together to adjust items for video use. I’ve had my Xt30 for about 6 months have been using it for photos exclusively. I am trying to learn the video side of the camera now. I am having trouble with starting the video record process with the shutter button on the camera. Do you know of any menu settings that would prevent the shutter button from starting to record process? I can use the remote camera app to start recording there but not on the camera itself. Upgraded to the latest firmware as well. Any ideas? I think it must be something simple.

    Does anyone happen to know if the X-T30 would be good for not only photography, but also for recording driving as well? I am talking about mounting the camera to face out the windshield. And that handles low-light environments really well? I want to assume any professional digital camera would.. but not exactly sure if there are things like auto-focus would come into play or other things involving the motion from driving. Neither dash cams nor action cams are good enough for me, i have been down those avenues for a while now.
