Shutter and Aperture Priorty - differences between manufacturers

[hashcake]

I'm the kind of person who tends to stick with a manufacturer if I like what they do so I've only used Canon DSLRs.
I'm in the process of getting a smaller mirrorless system for holidays.
I've already started another topic about the Fujifilm X-E1 (now sold on the idea of purchasing an X-E2 instead).
If Canon had come to market with Mirrorless bodies with an EVF earlier I'd probably be looking at them.
However, I'm not planning to spend loads, just a few hundred quid for a used setup.
Hence I've been looking at earlier Fujifilm mirrorless bodies.
Now, perhaps in my lack of knowledge about other manufacturers, I just assumed they all use a similar setup for shutter and aperture priority.
However, looking at the Fujifilm X-E2 it seems like I was wrong.
I won't let this put me off if I need to manually set such settings, I've used manual settings before but I find priority settings a convenience.
I know quite a few of users here have used more than one manufacturer over the years so I'm wondering what the other manufacturers do and have they applied the same for their smaller mirrorless bodies as they do for their DSLR bodies as it seems that Canon do.

You need to think of what the settings actually do and apply that on the manual controls of the Fuji. For example on my X-T3 if I want aperture priority I set the shutter speed dial to A (which is auto) and now when I change the aperture manually the shutter speed changes automatically within the range I defined in the menus. If I want shutter priority, I do the opposite setting the aperture to A and changing the shutter speed manually. The X-E3 has Auto mode on both the shutter dial and on the aperture ring.

I've never used auto ISO other than when doing helicopter flights, as I've always preferred to set this manually.

I hope that helps

That's great, thank you

The A positions on the shutter speed dial and aperture dial denote automatic positions. If the aperture ring is set to A and the shutter speed dial is also set to A, this behaves like Programme (P). Set a shutter speed on the dial and leave the aperture ring on A and you are in shutter priority. Set an aperture on the lens and leave the shutter speed dial on A and you are in aperture priority. If neither are set to A, you are in manual mode.

I have an X-E3, several nikons, several canons, a few mamiyas and a pentax. They all operate in a similar manner. The fuji is more old school in design, being pretty similar to the way Canon FD was.
