It'd be a bit of a rigmarole, but maybe enable the function buttons on the lens, focus on infinity (distant tower/tree/mountain/etc), then set that as a focus preset. Use a function button to return to that infinity focus when you have a bird against a clear sky. I have the same problem with my XF 150-600, so far I just put up with it, or zoom out enough to find and focus on the bird, or focus on a distant treetop etc. -

I've wondered the same thing. Years ago I learned that some very long lenses can focus slightly past infinity, for the reasons that temperature and other variables can move the mechanical location of infinity focus around a little bit, and IIRC using IR film can require focusing out further than the position that's best for visible light. I've focused on birds on distant towers, and the autofocus worked for that. Still, I'll be watching this thread for further developments. -

I was hoping to get some info on how to infinity focus the xf 500mm. I’m trying to focus on distant birds in the sky. Is there an infinity mark on the lenses? If so, I can’t find it. If there’s not one, how would one work around this? -
Hello, My X-T5 uses the AF-ON button to protect images (little lock symbol) when in playback mode. I accidentally press this a lot when shooting. I'd like to disable this, but I can't find a way to change it. It's really annoying as I often accidentally protect random images and then I have to search them out and un-protect them later on my computer when I want to delete them. I've looked at the custom buttons menu, but there doesn't seem to be an option for mapping these in playback mode, and the AF-ON button is just listed at AF-ON for back button focus, which I use. TIA! -
if you are shooting jpeg images (hobby photos as you called them) keep in mind the film simulation applies tone curves even at DR400. Try experimenting with the different simulations to see which is pleasing for a situation.
