AF-C lens dependent?

I bought an XS10 with the 16-80 kit lens last week but decided the 18-55 was a better fit for me so the bricks & mortar camera store swapped them for me (and refunded the difference).   I'm happy with that decision but now my memory is telling me I used to be able to choose AF-C while in auto mode, now I can't.   It works fine in program mode but the option is grayed out in both menus if I switch to auto.

Am I imagining things about the 16-80 that weren't true?

New lens set to auto and OIS turned on, latest firmware.

 

Thanks,

You mean when the drive dial on top of the camera is turned to Auto?

In that mode the camera always chooses - as far as I can see it always chooses AF-S - lens doesn't make any difference.

Yes thanks.

I'm not sure which is the more upsetting idea, that I'd somehow downgraded to a less capable lens or my memory of how the other one operated is that short :)

The confusing thing is face/eye detection sort of mimics AF-C on the display and is available in auto.   Most of the menu restrictions in auto are logical but I wish there was a matrix published in the manual.

      Because the sensor assembly is moved electrmagnetically. When there is no power it is essentially free moving.

      Troubleshooting with flash on xpro3

      By Doudzi · Posted

      Hi everyone I have a problem while using my xpro3 and strobes, from a day to an other I started to have a black shade on the side of my ID photos so it's kind of problematic. It's like if the speed is to high except it happened even at 1/30s. And the shutter speed seems accurate with ambiant light so I'm a bit disturbed about all of this.   Anyone has an idea about that case ?

      Ahoy ye hearties! Hoist ye yon Jolly Roger and Cascade away. NGC 1502 The Jolly Roger Cluster:

      This is the equivalent of 43 minutes, 40 seconds of exposure. NGC 1502 is a neat little cluster located in the Camelopardalis Constellation. This region of space was thought to be fairly empty by early astronomers, but as you can see, there is a lot there. Kemble's Cascade (a.k.a. Kemble 1) is named for Father Lucian Kemble, a Canadian Franciscan friar who wrote about it to Walter Scott Houston, an author for the Sky And Telescope magazine. Houston named the asterism for Fr. Kemble and the name "stuck". NGC 1501 is the Oyster Nebula. A longer focal length telescope is needed to bring this one into good viewing range, but it is well worth the effort.
