Fujifilm X100VI & X100V: Quick Start Guide for Essential Settings
Just Got Your Fujifilm X100VI or X100V?
In this quick start guide, I'll walk you through the essential settings to immediately change to make the most of your new camera.
We'll explore how to:
➤ Customize Function Buttons for quick access to your favourite features
➤ Navigate Key Menus to optimize your shooting experience
➤ Set up Back Button Focusing for greater control over your focus
Whether new to the X100 series or upgrading, these tips will help you hit the ground running and set your camera up exactly the same way as I do.
My recommendation is to watch the video below and use the notes below as a reference.
This article is part of my Fujifilm Learning Hub.

Streamlining Your Fujifilm X100VI & X100V for Speed and Efficiency
Today, I want to share how I set up my Fujifilm X100VI to maximise speed and ease of use. This setup also applies to the X100V and other models in the series.
Over the years, I've honed a shooting style that captures moments as they unfold—whether it's the unpredictability of street photography or the intimacy of a wedding.
My goal is to be quick and discreet, allowing me to stay fully immersed in the scene without constantly fiddling with camera settings.
In the above video, I'll explain how I customise my camera's function buttons, focus settings, and key menu options to create a streamlined shooting experience.
Function Buttons Configuration
One of the first things I do with any new camera is customise the function buttons to fit my shooting style. For the X100VI & V, I keep it simple and use only three function buttons, disabling the rest to avoid accidental presses.
Front Function Button (Fn2): Assigned to toggle Face Detection on and off. This allows me to quickly enable face detection when needed without diving into menus.
Top Plate Function Button (Fn1): Set to control Photometry (Metering Mode). This lets me switch between spot metering and other modes on the fly.
Rear Command Dial (R-DIAL): Configured for Back-Button Focusing (AF-ON). By pressing the rear command dial, I can focus without using the shutter button, giving me more control.
To customise these buttons:
Go to Menu > Setup > Button/Dial Setting > Function (Fn) Setting.
Assign the desired functions to each button as listed above.
I Set all other function buttons to "None" to prevent unintended changes.
Back-Button Focusing
I prefer using back-button focusing to separate focusing from the shutter release, allowing me to focus once and shoot multiple times without refocusing. Here's how to set it up quickly:
Switch to Manual Focus Mode:
On the side of the camera, set the focus mode selector to M (Manual).
Assign AF-ON to Rear Command Dial:
As mentioned in the function button settings, assign AF-ON to the rear command dial.
With this setup:
Focusing: Press the rear command dial to autofocus.
Shooting: Press the shutter button to take the shot without triggering autofocus.
This method keeps you engaged with your subject and reduces the need to adjust settings between shots.
Key Menu Settings for Optimal Performance
To further streamline the camera, I adjust several key menu settings:
Image Quality Settings
Image Size: Set to 3:2 ratio.
Image Quality: Choose Fine + RAW for maximum flexibility.
RAW Recording: Select Lossless Compressed to save storage space without sacrificing quality.
Film Simulations and Custom Settings
I often shoot with black-and-white film simulations (even when shooting in RAW) to match my documentary style. Fujifilm cameras allow you to:
Create Custom Settings: Save your preferred film simulations and settings for quick access.
Use X RAW Studio: Utilise Fujifilm's software X-RAW Studio to create and transfer custom presets to your camera.
Autofocus Settings
AF Mode: Set to Single Point for precise control.
Focus Area: Use a centrally located focus point and recompose as needed.
Number of Focus Points: Choose 117 Points for optimal sensitivity.
AF-C Custom Settings: Select Preset 2 (Ignore Obstacles & Continue to Track Subject) for continuous focus situations.
Priority Settings
AF-S Priority Selection: Set to Focus to ensure the camera only takes a shot when the subject is in focus.
AF-C Priority Selection: Set to Release to prioritize capturing the moment, even if perfect focus hasn't been achieved yet.
Disable Unnecessary Features
Touchscreen: I disable the touchscreen to avoid accidental focus changes, especially when using the viewfinder.
Go to Menu > Setup > Button/Dial Setting > Touch Screen Setting and turn it off.
Simplifying for Speed
By paring down the camera's functions to the essentials, I minimise distractions and potential errors. This setup allows me to:
Keep My Eye on the Scene: With fewer buttons and settings to worry about, I can focus on capturing the moment.
Shoot Quickly and Confidently: The streamlined controls make it easier to react to fleeting opportunities.
Customise as Needed: While I prefer a minimalist approach, you can adjust these settings to fit your own style.

A complete colour Profile, Preset & Workflow Pack for Lightroom
Film Edition 5 - Workflow Series (Colour) is a structured set of Lightroom profiles and presets designed to help you quickly and consistently create a finished colour look, without making Lightroom feel like a chore.
If you edit regularly in Lightroom, you already know the issue. You want a strong colour style, but you also need it to hold together across changing light, different scenes, and mixed subject matter. This pack is designed to help you move quickly without the work looking rushed.
The custom colour profiles give you the tonal and colour foundation first. From there, the workflow presets help you shape contrast, depth, and presence more precisely. Then, if the frame needs extra work, the included Toolkit gives you targeted help with AI masks, fixes, grain, curves, colour control, sharpening, noise reduction, and finishing touches.
Built for speed and consistency
Fast workflow with fewer decisions and clearer steps
Consistent results across a full set of edits
Film-inspired colour and tonality with depth, shape, and texture
Useful fixes and finishing tools for real-world Lightroom work

Film Edition 5 Bundle - complete colour and monochrome workflow packs for Lightroom
Film Edition 5 Bundle brings together both Film Edition 5 Workflow Series Colour and Film Edition 5 Workflow Series Monochrome in one package, giving you the full FE5 system for photographers who want a film-inspired workflow in both colour and black-and-white.
This is not just a collection of slider-based presets. Both packs are built around custom-crafted profiles, developed through LUT-based processes, then supported by workflow presets, finishing tools, and AI utilities designed to help you work quickly without losing control of the final look. That profile-first approach is something your preset pages already explain well, so I’d keep that language consistent here too.
If you want the full Film Edition 5 experience, this is the simplest way to get it. You have the colour pack for rich, film-inspired edits with depth and tonality, and the monochrome pack for strong black-and-white work with shape, texture, and consistency. Together, they give you a flexible Lightroom workflow that feels organised, repeatable, and fast.

A complete black and white Profile, Preset & Workflow Pack for Lightroom
Film Edition 4 - Monochrome is a structured black-and-white preset and profile pack for Lightroom, designed to help you create expressive monochrome work with depth, texture, and consistency. It is built around handcrafted presets, custom monochrome profiles, workflow utilities, and AI-powered tools, giving you a more complete editing system rather than just a handful of looks.
This is not a simple desaturation pack. It is designed to give your images the tonal richness, contrast depth, grain character, and film-inspired response associated with classic black-and-white stocks. The page positions it around the look and feel of films such as Kodak Tri-X, Ilford HP5+, Fuji FP-3000B, and Rollei Retro, supported by raw-level monochrome profiles that shape tone and dynamic range before you even start adjusting sliders.
If you edit regularly in Lightroom, you already know the challenge. You want black-and-white work to feel intentional, not flat, muddy, or overly digital. This pack is built to help you move quickly while still giving your images character. The included profiles give you a strong tonal base, the presets build on that foundation, and the utilities and AI tools are there when you need more precise control.
Built for speed and consistency

This is not a simple preset pack built around slider shifts.

The page positions it around analogue-inspired looks, supported by profiles that work at the profile stage rather than simply layering colour on top.

The complete preset collection for Lightroom.
The Full Collection (2026 Edition) brings together the complete Film Edition range from Editions 1 to 5, plus Silver Palette 2024, giving you the broadest preset and profile collection currently available across the Kevin Mullins Presets range. It is designed for photographers who want the full system rather than a single pack, with colour, monochrome, classic editions, workflow packs, utilities, and AI tools all in one place.
This is more than a bundle of slider-based presets. Across the range, these packs are built around custom-designed LUT-based profiles and practical workflow tools, so you can move between different editing styles while still keeping your process consistent. Some packs are more classic and film-emulation-driven, while Film Edition 5 adds a newer profile-first workflow with Toolkit and AI support.
If you want the widest possible choice across your editing, this is the collection that gives you that. You have the earlier Film Edition packs for a broader mix of established looks, Silver Palette 2024 for monochrome work, Film Edition 4 in both colour and black-and-white, and the newer Film Edition 5 Workflow Series packs for a more structured editing workflow.

The live page positions Silver Palette as an entirely new monochrome set that pays homage to film photography, while still fitting naturally into a modern Lightroom workflow.

Film Edition 1 leans into subtle black-and-white film emulation with bonus colour looks, while Film Edition 2 expands the system with a broader set of colour and monochrome profiles, plus the first Legends presets.
If you want a simple, lower-cost way into the Kevin Mullins Presets range, this bundle is a good starting point.

It also introduces the Legends Presets, which aim to capture the feel of some of your favourite photographers, alongside colour- and monochrome-profile-based processes.

A complete black and white Profile, Preset & Workflow Pack for Lightroom
Film Edition 5 - Workflow Series (Monochrome) is a structured set of Lightroom profiles and presets designed to help you achieve a finished monochrome look quickly and consistently.
This is not a random “pick a look and hope” pack. It’s designed as a repeatable workflow you can run on a full set of images, with fixes and finishing tools when you need them.
If you edit regularly in Lightroom, you already know the problem. You want a strong black-and-white style, but you also need it to behave consistently across different scenes, lighting conditions, and subjects. This pack is designed to help you move fast without the work looking rushed.
You start with one of the custom monochrome profiles to establish the tonal foundation, then shape the image with workflow presets that are designed to work with that profile rather than fight against it. From there, you can use the included Toolkit for things like AI masking, grain, curves, highlight control, sharpening, finishing touches, and everyday problem-solving inside Lightroom. The product page positions the pack exactly this way, with the profile first, workflow second, then utilities and finishers to refine only when needed.
Built for speed and consistency
If you edit your photos in Lightroom, you already know the problem: you want a strong monochrome style, but you also need it to work across different scenes without constant fighting.
This pack helps you move fast without the work looking rushed.
Fast workflow: fewer decisions, clearer steps.
Consistent results: the set hangs together as a series.
Film-inspired tonality: depth, shape, and texture without the “preset look”.
Useful fixes included: real-world Lightroom problems, solved quickly.
