Adam, yes, I guess you are right about this. I just can't see how the conditions or the way I use the camera is so unique. And everyone who sees it initially says there must be something wrong with the camera. I first saw the effect when making recordings for a video for a side-project. If you are interested, the final video can be seen here: I guess 'the effect' is only noticeable when you are aware of it (3-5 seconds into the video). Thanks!

The camera has been sent to Fujifilm for service and this is their response: "The phenomenon of jagged edges or what looks like focus peaking is a by-product of anti aliasing combined with movement and high contrast subjects." So, according to them the effect is to be expected and there is nothing wrong with my camera. (I honestly do not understand how their response explains what I see in my videos, but perhaps it makes sense to someone). So, by posting here I hope for comments on whether or not it is correct that all X-T1 cameras have this effect when recording videos with the mentioned conditions as seen in the samples. Thanks!

Yes, I tried other frame rates with the same result. I get this also when not using the EVF. I discussed the issue with the local Fujifilm representatives and at first they also said this was very weird, and they had not seen it before, but then they re-created the problem with their own X-T1, and after that they said that this is just how it is with this camera. I find it very strange that this should be the case with all X-T1 cameras that have been produced. Would not this then be reported as a well known problem with the video function, like the issues with moiré and focusing? After all, the conditions when this happens are quite normal (sun, greenery, manual focus, other settings on automatic).

Yes, I tried with the 15-55 mm lens, with F2.8, and I get the same effect, but not so visible as with the XF 35 mm with F1.4 I use the focus ring on the lens in the examples. I will see if I can test using Continuous mode instead. Thanks!

Hello everybody, I am aware that the X T-1 does not perform very well shooting video, but I am experiencing a strange effect that I have not seen described before. (I read about moire and the autofocus issues). In sunny conditions, and on grass/in nature, when I film with manual focus with or without focus peaking highlighting enabled, it looks as if there is a 'shadow' where the focus peaking would have been seen in the viewfiender. This 'shadow' moves as I manually change the focus back and forth. Here are some examples shot with the XF 35 mm F1.4, with aperture set to 1.4: All other settings (ISO, Shutter) set to auto, film simulation is standard, movie mode is Full HD 60fps. I have tried changing those settings but it does not make a difference (as far as I can see). The effect is less intruding with a lower aperture. Have anyone else seen this? (Could someone we bothered to go outside and try?) Any comments are welcome. Thanks, B.

I moved this post to the Fuji X-T1 / Fuji X-T10 forum.
