BobJ, Pardon my belated response, but I noticed two messages from you ... THANK you for your expertise/ care! Yes, both afs are set to focus priority. What baffles me is how, if I get a green light indicator suggesting background focus at least, the XT5, it seems, randomly takes a blurry shot. This is another thing: I have double checked to make sure that AF+MF is OFF. Sadly, it appears that the problem persisted in a shoot at the Saint Louis Art museum in MO USA. ALSO I will say that my Fujifilm XT5 is one of the new Made in Japan models. I got it shipped in new in box. My WRII lens I got from B and H, it seemed new in box - but I did find it odd that it was "not in stock" but the order immediately went through and was shipped anyway. I would have taken about 100 photos and two of them in a series turns out like this, progressing from sharper to out-of-focus to tack sharp at the end of series of 9 shots. See below for one of two blurry shots. 1/900 sec, broad daylight, f 7.1, ISO 320. From this forum, the answers I am receiving are: Buy an X-H2S OR Send in the camera and lens to be evaluated. Again, when I emailed Fujifilm and they said, "Hello, I do not feel there is an issue with the camera, auto focus is not infallible or perfect. But if you feel there is an issue you can send in your camera and lens to be evaluated."Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here…

BobJ, Thank you for mentioning that this is not typical. No, I meant ISO 80, as that is what the lightroom info indicates. Could that be a factor in causing blurriness? Yes, both AF-S and AF-C priority selection are set to FOCUS. What I will do is check the face detection setting - I "minimalized" my LCD display settings to hide whether or not it shows whether face detection (bug detection, etc) is on/off. Thank you for your help!

My very much loved X-Pro 2 has a serious problem for a long time but I can’t help myself, it’s too good to just sit on a shelf. Last year the display had started weird pink colors and the camera was freezing after a few seconds. First I thought the screen was the problem but when I get into the menu at once, the screen looks fine. After some seconds or when I am trying to get the the configuration part of the menu, the camera will freeze again. when I turn it off the screen stayed on for about a second. But I can’t turn it on again even after the screen finally went black. I need to remove the battery and insert it again and then I can turn it on again. But the problem is there again and again. today I saw that there was a new firmware update 5.11 that is said to fix a freezing problem and I thought to give it a last try. Ironically I could successfully make the firmware update with no problems. Somehow terrifying to make a firmware update when you don’t know if the camera might freeze during the process. But everything went fine. Problem is the same as before. I tried different batteries and different lenses and without a lense. Always weird pink colors on the screen and finally freezing. Any suggestions from the community? Or perhaps help from Fuji? -
I repeat - there is something wrong. I have the same lens and an x-t5 and do not experience any sharpness problems. It may be that there are problems with a 150-600 lens, I don't know, but mjoseph67 is using the 16-55. Make sure the af is set to focus priority and that you do not have af with mf set (if you have you could be accidentally moving the focus ring after autofocus). If that doesn't help get your camera and lens checked out. -
Perhaps matrix/evaluative metering mode would be a better choice in more circumstances. We need to be aware of how the camera will see the scene and choices it might make, I find having the viewfinder set to "exposure preview" or whatever it's called is helpful in knowing when to apply exposure compensation.
