Menu simulator

A working copy of the X-Pro3 menu, laid out like the owner's manual: every tab, page and item. Click an item, or hover the simulator and use your arrow keys. The X-Pro3 has one menu for photos and movies: movie options are in the MOVIE SETTING tab. Press DRIVE for drive modes, including MOVIE. There is no mode dial: the shutter speed dial and the lens aperture ring set the exposure mode. Each item explains what it does and what to set it to.

      Menu names and descriptions follow the official X-Pro3 owner's manual. Starting values in the simulator are typical defaults and may differ from your camera. Recommendations are mine.

      Mode finder

      There's no mode dial

      The X-Pro3 picks its exposure mode from where the aperture ring and shutter dial sit, like a film camera. Set them here to see which mode you're in.
