Hello, I come to you at a total loss! The IBIS / OIS on my XT4 is working correctly when i'm using my XF 16-80mm but not when using my prime lenses (XF 50mm F2, XF 35mm F2, XF 16mm F1.4). Ibis and OIS are on in the menu. Since stabilization works on one lens, there musn't be an issue with the camera body. So it's a lens problem, right? Well, these 3 lenses have no problem with IBIS and OIS when i'm using them with my XT5. I have updated the XT4 firmware to the latest version and it hasn't fixed it, i've fiddled with just about every menu option and I can't get anything to work. Thank you very much for your help!

Hi, I just got my new X-S20. One of the main reasons I got it, is IBIS, as my main field of use is filming. I come from an X-T20, I loved it but the lack of IBIS, amongst other things, limited me a lot as I mainly shot handheld. I like to go light, so I like to bring the smallest lens possible, and that's why I expected to use the XC 15-45, which is small, light, has some OIS, and the lens quality is ok for filming. The unit I have is not part of the kit, I just got it second hand. I tried the camera stabilization using IBIS + OIS setting + Mode Boost, with three lenses: XC 15-45 3.5-5.6 FX 27mm 2.8 ( only IBIS ) XF 18-55mm 2.8-4 The kind of stabilization I am looking for and trying is with static shots, no camera move, almost like a picture. I am not looking for a gimball simulation. TESTS: The Stabilization with the 15-55 is fantastic, very happy with the results ( testing at 55mm ) https://youtu.be/04Wa5qcM3rU The stabilization with the 27mm is surprisingly good too, despite not being an OIS lens https://youtu.be/gNrz8QTtcOs But the stabilization with the 15-45 ( testing at 45mm in the video, but same behavior with the 15mm end and any other focal length ) is even worse than when I used it with my X-T20, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AM8Gisbr0SY, it's like the body is not using IBIS with it at all. It catches my heart beats and every micro shake. https://youtu.be/nMEE2631uqA The only way I can somehow make the IBIS react and be a bit more responsive is by shaking the lens a bit, and then it becomes a bit more stable as in this test, but not to the pair with other fixed lenses I tried, it actually might be just an illusion and there's no significant improvement. https://youtu.be/GlO7VaUPXQU --------------- How come that is possible? The camera is supposed to be sold with this lens, so I expect it to work perfectly as a combination. Any idea what could be happening? The lens is updated with the latest firmware 1.12, and the camera body too 3.11. I also cleaned the lens contacts just in case. The most logical reason for this it that the lens OIS is not working properly for some reason but the camera can't tell, ( I have not another same lens to try ) if I would be getting similar results with non OIS lenses all would make sense, but that's not the case, it works great with them, much better, actually. Any idea is welcome, Thanks!

On to the new X-T4. Neither Simethicone nor Beano can solve Fuji GAS. My X-T3's go to my daughter, replacing her aging X-T2's which go to a better home somewhere. I shoot mostly with OIS lenses although I do have some non-OIS lenses, I prefer (for my style of photography) to use the zooms to react to changing composition quickly and not change lenses so much in the field. With newer camera features, better higher ISO's and Topaz AI plugins to Photoshop, I am hoping to free myself more from my long standing "addiction" to my Gitzo tripods. At 86 my hands aren't the steadiest. I am hoping that the addition of the additional axes provided by IBIS with my OIS lenses will give me less shaky shots with my hand held image making. I have been a hobbyist photographer for 67-68 years. (Somewhere I still have my first Kodachrome color slide with my first serious camera from the early 1950's) Any thoughts that IBIS with OIS lenses will help much? Jerry(Kit: 8 & 12 mm Rokinon. 23 f/2, 35 f/2, 60, 10-24, 16-80, 55-200, 50-140, 100-400 w/ 1.4 tele-extender, X-T3, X-T30 Fuji and Sony RX100m7.

Please correct me if I am missing something, but as far as I can tell the image stabilisation (IBIS and OIS) has been affected by the recent FW update to V4.00 on X-T5 (and so it seems, to V4.40 on X-T2). I expect the same problem on X-H cameras after the recent update, maybe someone would like to test. Previously, you could choose to have IS on full time (“Continuous”) or only when you press the shutter button to focus (“Shooting Only”). Now this works only in AF-C. In AF-S when you switch to Shooting Only, IS does not work. Continuous works. In AF-M I have to try yet. I tried with the XF90, XF18 F1.4, XC50-230, XF18-55. Seems to me like a bug in the new FW that could be corrected in future updates. Has anyone else encountered this or has anyone perhaps found some relationship to other settings that could influence this behaviour ?
