I agree, it is still a problem and I cannot believe it hasn't been fixed. This is something that ANY camera should be able to do, and it should have been corrected much sooner than this. Makes me wonder if it will ever even be fixed. I've called many times, and done my work to report it and make it known. I however, have not gotten any answer back from Fuji myself.

No need for it. I already tried a camera and setting reset on several bodies, made no difference.

Interesting. When you guys are talking about BBF, is your procedure to hyper-focus and then hold down the back button AF to lock it? I'm a little confused about that. If you're shooting in MF I don't see how BBF can be beneficial.

Anyone who reports it would be super helpful. It's the only way we are going to get a fix. Honestly, this issue renders the OVF useless. You can only use it with the hybrid focus screen engaged, or on AF mode, which is obviously not what it is designed to be used with.

Seems to be a combo of the new WR lenses and the new firmware. I went to B&H recently, tried it on the X100F again, didn't see the issue while testing it inside this time. I also tried the 23mm 1.4, no problems there. I know Fuji USA didn't see the issue in dark lighting conditions. It wasn't until they went a bright area that they were able to tell me they had the issue as well.

The best thing you can do is call into Fuji and let them know. We need to make sure they know it is a problem, I don't think many others have officially reported it.

I actually discovered that this problem is happening when an auto setting engaged (ex: auto shutter, auto ISO, etc) - was not what I saw before. This means that the OVF in manual focus mode is essentially useless. And it's so difficult to see your frame properly in auto focus that the OVF might as well not even be there with the firmware update as it is. OVF + Focus window works but, it is so distracting that it just is saddening.

Firmware 3.1 did not address the issue. Fuji USA has acknowledged the issue. I still have been trying to get an update about them passing it along to Japan to be fixed. They said that sometimes it can take a long time for low priority problems. Unfortunately a lot of people don't use the camera like this so not many people are noticing. The best thing you can do is call in to report the issue. I will keep pressing for them to fix it, it really effects my shooting style. I am trying to see if they can revert my firmware to 2.0 to hopefully alleviate the issue.

Update: I got on the phone with Fuji USA and this is a problem happening in all of their XPro2 bodies. I got a replacement body so I could send mine in but, it was happening on the rental that came directly from Fuji as well. It is believed to be a firmware issue and the senior technician is passing this on to Hong Kong for review and next steps. The effect is dependent upon the lighting conditions so when they were trying it in a dark room, nothing happened. However, when they shot in daylight conditions the focus point was moving from 2' to infinity, on manual focus in about 15 clicks.

Hey guys, Just downloaded the new firmware 3.0 update, having a very strange problem, wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing it. When the shutter, aperture, ISO, and focus are in manual mode, using the OVF only, the focus point focuses slowly towards infinity every time the shutter is half or fully pressed. For example, in full manual mode and manual focus mode, if I set the focal point to 2’, each time the shutter is pressed half or full way, it will slowly focus towards infinity. It takes about 15-20 half or full clicks to go from 2’ to infinity in MF mode. Through my testing I have found that by engaging the hybrid OVF, or using the EVF, this effect does not happen with the same camera settings. Using an automatic shutter speed, ISO, or aperture also remedies the issue with the same settings. I have also found that using certain shutter speeds, like 1/30th and below remedy the effect. I have tested using different lenses, batteries, and memory cards and found that the effect is still present. I have reset the camera and body settings to no avail. Lenses being used to test are 23mm f/2 WR, 35mm f/2 WR, and 56mm f/1.2. The effect was not noticeable on the 56mm however. My general go-to settings are f/11, 1/500th, ISO 1600, manual focus with 23mm f/2 WR – where the effect is fully present. This problem started during my first shoot with the new firmware 3.0 update. *** Edit: Here is a video download of the issue happening. I have just received a replacement Xpro2 from direct from Fuji and the same effect is happening on both bodies. https://youtu.be/KXYJ4oJZmdY
