Video settings, in depth

What are the right video settings on the Fujifilm X-T5 — 6.2K, HQ 4K, F-Log2 and slow motion?

https://camerasdecoded.com/camera-select/fujifilm/x-t5/video-settings.html
THE ANSWER
Shoot HQ 4K for quality (it is oversampled from the full 6.2K sensor read) or 6.2K when the frame must be final; record H.265 4:2:2 10-bit in the camera; grade in F-Log2 from ISO 1000; and plan heat, not minutes — there is no per-movie cap, the ceilings are the temperature cutoff and the battery.
Mode: MOVIE SETTING → MOVIE MODE → HQ 4K or 6.2K · Codec: MOVIE SETTING → MEDIA REC SETTING → H.265 ALL-I 422 · Log: MOVIE SETTING → F-Log/HLG RECORDING → F-Log2 (ISO 1000+) · Heat: SET UP → POWER MANAGEMENT → AUTO POWER OFF TEMP.
Pro lesson — the deep steps are in the guided run.
DECISION 1

6.2K, or 4K done properly

MENU→MOVIE SETTING→MOVIE MODE

MOVIE MODE ladders from 6.2K (16:9) through HQ 4K — high-quality 4K with 6.2K oversampling — to standard 4K and Full HD, all to 59.94P. FIX MOVIE CROP MAGNIFICATION can lock the crop ratio at 1.25:1 across modes. In MEDIA REC SETTING, H.265 4:2:2 10-bit records internally (ALL-I or LongGOP) at up to 360 Mbps — a bit rate that requires a V60 card; 100/200 Mbps require UHS Speed Class 3. Movie destination is chosen in the same menu, separately from the stills card roles.

DECISION 2

Two logs, two floors

MENU→MOVIE SETTING→F-Log/HLG RECORDING

F-Log restricts sensitivity to ISO 500–12800; F-Log2, the wider curve, to ISO 1000–12800; HLG floors at ISO 800. All three record to the card. Assign F-Log VIEW ASSIST to a function button to monitor in viewable color. A film simulation (ETERNA/CINEMA) is the no-grade alternative.

DECISION 3

240 frames, and silent

MENU→MOVIE SETTING→HIGH SPEED REC

HIGH SPEED REC records Full HD at 100/120/200/240P with recording and playback rates chosen separately. No sound is recorded in high-speed movies. Movie focus: with face or subject detection on, the camera switches to continuous focus itself, and F AF MODE includes WIDE/TRACKING.

DECISION 4

Plan heat, not minutes

MENU→SET UP→POWER MANAGEMENT→AUTO POWER OFF TEMP.

The manual states no per-movie minute cap: recordings over an hour continue across multiple files without interruption. The ceilings are heat and battery: the camera warns, then shuts down at the temperature cutoff, which AUTO POWER OFF TEMP. sets to STANDARD or HIGH (HIGH extends recording; Fujifilm warns of low-temperature burns — tripod use). Fujifilm’s CIPA figures: about 90 minutes of actual 6.2K footage per NP-W235 charge, 80 at 4K 59.94P.

TRY IT NOW

Shoot one scene three ways — HQ 4K in ETERNA/CINEMA, F-Log2 with view assist from ISO 1000, and a 240P high-speed take — and compare what each decision asks of you.
