Anyone having/had problems with factory standard settings, brand new x-t3 with kit 18-55 lens and focus hunting? I cant find anything online about this so assumed it was me...until I showed Fuji. Lens fully zoomed in on a parking lot, no moving cars, or trees, shot in daylight, plenty to focus on (IE not a white wall), using factory set focus settings straight after a reset of camera, OIS on or off made no difference, ISO auto, shutter @ 1/60, aperture manual, 4k30, shot handheld, AF-C, UV filter on lens, focus point was central in frame (nothing moving) and about 20 meters away and nothing in between camera lens and focus point (trees). To try and find out what was causing the problem I set the aperture to f20 = approx 2 second hunting frequency (from completely blurry to sharp, IE not a small hunt, its like it moves from extreme to extreme). As I reduce the aperture towards f16, frequency increases to say 0.5 seconds and then at f10 its not possible to see on the camera screen that there is hunting. My test seems to show its aperture & zoom related, regardless, I cant accept that this is ok. Above video in question was shot at the Fuji HO in South Africa to demonstrate the problem to Fuji so I don't have the video at the moment because I sent the camera in due to this hunting problem. They still don't know what the problem might be so I thought I would reach out and see if anyone can reproduce my problem so I can help Fuji help me solve my problem. I have had a consistent problem with focus on the camera with a hit rate of probably 60%, video & photo. Even when the camera locks focus in AF-S mode, stationary scene, eye focus mode on and face mode on, photo mode, the camera will miss the shot and focus on the rear of the head region while it tells me its focused on the eye when clicking the rear dial in to show the focus point. Any insight would be appreciate!

I bought myself the 18mm f/1.4 everyone seems to love so much for shooting videos together with my XT30II. I can see why people love this lens for photography, the picture quality is stunning. However, I'm experiencing AF hunting of the worst kind and I've already tried a couple of settings other people recommend to get rid of it. But none of it seems to work for me. What am I shooting: I'm recording myself while playing electric guitar the audio is coming from somewhere else My setup is as follows: Fuji XT30II with the 18mm f/1.4 HDMI out to Elgato USB capture card going into OBS Studio for recording Here's a summary of my general video settings: 1080p@24fps with 200mbps file format MOV/H.264 LPCM SS at 1/48 manual Aperture on 1.4 open manual ISO manual (depending on the exposure) face detection on with eye auto Here's some settings I played around with according to multiple other users' recommendations: AF mode: I've tried both multi and area, but it's bad in both cases, area seems to be a tiny notch better. AF-C custom > tracking sensitivity: I tried 0, 2 and 4 AF-C custom > AF speed: I tried -5, 0 and +5 Of course I understand that those three settings are connected and I've tried many different combinations. But no success. I'd be more than happy to get any hint on what else to try. Thanks in advance.
