@George_P that is how it works on my X-T10 as well, but the lens has to have OIS and the OIS on the lens has to be turned on, otherwise one cannot select those menu setting options.
p.s. Uh, if you locate any of those “firmware” updates, please let me know! 🤣

So now we know where the problem is. In the date of production. Namely, my own !!! I need a tripod for my brain. That is where the bug is. I doubt any firmware update is available for that.
Anyways, it used to be half-press IS on in both AF-S and AF-C on the X-T10. I wonder why they changed it, I quite liked that.

I stand corrected. But, if I remember correctly and I don't need to get corrected again, before it was so that when you half-pressed, the image stabilised. With a long lens It was easier to precisely frame the shot while you were half-pressing before you took the shot.
Now in AF-S, IS set to "Shooting Only", half-pressing does not stabilise, but @Greybeard, sir you are right, the actual image is stabilised as the shot is taken.
In AF-C, the behavior is as I remember it, with IS set to "Shooting Only" half-pressing stabilises the image. You can clearly see this in the viewfinder. With miniscule movements of the camera, the image moves with the camera while half-pressing, but the camera moves versus the image while not.
I don't know if this was changed with the most recent FW or earlier. Heck, I am not even sure if I remember this from Fujifilm X-T10, X-T2 or from my previous brand. I haven't been using long lenses for quite some time. Am I right ? Or was this only in AF-C from the start ? Thank you.

Are you sure Shooting Only IS isn't working with AF-S?
The difference between AF-C and AF-S is that you get IS with half press in AF-C but in AF-S it doesn't take effect until you fully press the shutter.
Try taking images with a very low shutter speed and look at them in playback (or on a computer)

George_P reacted to BobJ in autofocus flaw
I recently took some studio portraits using eye detection with auto eye selection. I didn't have one failure. There is either something wrong with the camera or lens, or more likely, an incorrect setting. Check all the relevant settings and test. Are you sure you didn't accidentally move the focus lever to manual? It's easily done. Or you might have left one of the special focus modes (animals etc) selected.

You will find many reviews of the X-T5 but if you are interested in my 2 cents worth of an opinion then I love this camera. I think it is very good esp. for the things you shoot more. It can be rather small if you use the smaller lenses like the 27mm, 35f2, 50f2… great for landscapes, street and travel. Very customisable, wonderful controls where you can set up your main parameters by turning physical knobs - simple and fast. Very satisfying to use. I shoot manual all the time, using the histogram. Big choice of very good lenses, big and small, expensive and inexpensive. Weather proof, decent battery life. Fantastic image quality, Fuji colour magic. Some people claim that continuous tracking AF is not as stellar as Sony or Canon esp. for people zig-zaging with closed eyes in the shadow under a baseball cap but I couldn’t care less for that. For birds in flight you would probably be better off with a different camera but otherwise, for the things you do, very very good value for money and a real joy to use. Have a look at the user’s manual to see what it can do. You can also go and look into my photos in my Winter Landscapes topic but then you must give them all a like so reserve some time for that 😀. (Photos are resized by this site so you know... I can send you some full-sized RAWS if you want.) Cheers and let us know how you got on.

In between comas...
This is a region of space in between Coma Cluster and Coma Berenices.
On the left is the Coma Cluster. A lot of times 'cluster' is used to name a grouping of stars, but the Coma Cluster is a grouping of galaxies.
On the right is the Coma Berenices, an asterism. This one is a tale out of Egypt. Supposedly, someone bargained for their husband's safe return from a war. He came back, so she whacked her hair off and gave up the golden locks. They were placed in the stars, an eternal symbol, known to those that tell the tale.
This is the equivalent of some few seconds less than 44 minutes of exposure.

Cassie's Knees...
Some sky objects are seasonal, only appearing as signs of spring or summer or fall or winter. Others, depending on your location are circumpolar, meaning they are visible year round, never dropping below the horizon or drifting out of view.
Cassiopeia is circumpolar for many folks in the Northern Hemisphere. It also has a lot of neat clusters and nebulae. It is fairly easy to find, even in light polluted areas, it is the “W” shaped constellation, not far away from the Big Dipper.
This, just under 12 minutes equivalent exposure, is the region around Cassie’s knees. There are several Messier Objects here as well as the bright star Gamma Cassiopeia nicknamed ‘Navi’ by the astronaut Virgil Ivan “Gus” Grissom. The famous Perseid meteor showers come from this constellation’s region.

George_P reacted to jerryy in 70S replacement battery for Instax mini 99
That camera has not been out for very long, so the usual third party sellers do not have any replacements available yet.
Be very careful about trying an older NP-70 replacement, it is a slightly different battery than the NP-70S and has different voltage requirements; using the older battery type may damage your camera.
Because it is so new, you may be only, for the time being, able to get replacement batteries from the Instax folks, or they would know where to direct you to be able to get them.
Best wishes and welcome to the forum.

I honestly have no idea. I hope our guru @Greybeard or @jerryy will chime in with something.

George_P reacted to m3hc in Introduce Yourself
Hello,
i'm from Vilnius Lithuania. I do photography as an amateur from about 2005 (with long pauses). Now having FujiFilm X-S20 with kit lens XF 18-55mm. This is my second Fuji, first Fuji was smth like 3MPX S5000 ultra-zoom. And and the fourth camera in my life.
Why am I here? Probably to share experiences. New cameras are an endless story where you can customize every parameter.
PS I love "raw" (not post processed) JPGs.
PSS here is Vilnius only resized.
