As someone who just made the "big investment" in a GFX 100s body and 45-100mm lens, I'm more than dismayed in that I can't get the focus "bracketing" program to work. Am so disappointed that Fuji couldn't even be bothered explaining this feature in their online manual. Yes, I've looked at every YouTube video I could, but am still in the dark. Is there anyone out there that could walk me through this step by step, as if they were trying to explain this to a first grader? No matter what I do I can only get the camera to take one photo (instead of a series of photos). Yes, I'm dead serious. Thanks in advance. Larry

They (Fujifilm) actually show how to use focus bracketing and then show you how to turn the frames into a focus stacked image.

I should add, to their explanation, if the camera has brkt — the GFX-100S does not — on the top dials turn that on, then follow the instructions listed above. Before you start, make sure the shutter speed and f-stop are set to your liking, etc., i.e. all of the usual settings are ready. 

Once you choose the Interval setting and push the Ok button, or push the shutter button depending on which camera you have, the sequence will begin.

This also has a good step by step run through using a X-T3:

Have used FB on the GFX 100s in both MANUAL AND AUTO modes and have not experienced your issue. My only complaint is AUTO mode tends to shoot more brackets than necessary. But that's not your issue. Have you looked here? FOCUS BKT is the 4th bracket down.

What are your settings for these? (CAMERA MENU) SHOOTING SETTING > FOCUS BKT SETTING -
MANUAL or AUTO bracketing?
MANUAL: FRAMES / STEP / INTERVAL?

If AUTO FB then did you go through the procedure in the manual? What AF mode are in?

Hi, did you resolve your problem? I have been using a Fuji GFX for several years and rely on the focus stacking function, but having upgraded the firmware, I'm now unable to get it to work properly, and when I rang Fuji's tech support, the person there couldn't get it to work either. I'm waiting for another Fuj "expert" to phone me. I think this is very wrong. These cameras are very expensive and Fuji should provide proper tech support.

    • Here is the solution to using the Eterna 55 file simulation LUTs in Davinci Resolve.   In general, do not use the FLog2C to film simulation LUTs as they are not supported by Davinci Resolve for two reasons: 1) Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut Color Space and 2) Davinci Resolve does not support FLog2C gamma.  Instead, use Flog2 which is supported by Davinci Resolve.  Here is an example.  Let's say that you want to use Classic Chrome simulation.  Do the following: Complete your color grade and use a CST to get to Rec 709. Add a node.  Use a CST to convert from Rec 709 to FLog2.  Output Color space is Rec 2020 and Outout Gamut is FLog2. Add a node.  Apply the FLog2 to Classic Chrome LUT Create a combination node from node in steps 2 and 3. Apply a Key to the combination node and adjust the Key Output Gain to get the amount of the combination node that you want applied. So that you do not have to do this over and over again, generate a LUT for the combination node.  Remember to turn off all other nodes before generating the LUT. Hope this helps others. Don  
    • Thanks for the insights. I think it's really hard to make a decision without having the two side by side! 
    • I don’t have the 23 f2 but I have read several times that it is considered a little soft at close distance, compared to the 23 f1.4 lenses. These will also focus at shorter distance from the subject, esp. the new one. So that might make a difference. The new 23 f1.4 LM WR  has better resolution, esp. in regard to the 40Mpix sensors, which you don’t have on the X-T2. What practical difference that makes for the value of the pictures one makes is disputable and subjective.  f1.4 will gather more light but with a smaller DOF, which may be desirable in some situations but not so in others, depends. If you like to shoot close ups, you will probably use higher f numbers to get a bigger DOF. Same for landscapes. If you are a bokeh fan, yes the f1.4 lens are better.  The older 23 f1.4 lens that you are considering is a very good and respected lens. The f1.4 vs f2 aperture per se is perhaps not so important. The 23 f2 is very small, light and practical and a great lens for travel and landscapes. So, go figure. I am afraid I just sent you further down the road to insanity !
    • First post here but long time fuji shorter. I use the XT2 with the 23mm f2 / 35mm 1.4 / 16-80mm f4 I'm considering the 23mm f1.4 r (Non-WR) About me: - I shoot black and white only. - I like macro details to wide open landscapes and everything in-between. - I shoot mostly for art, intrigue and creativity of the image. My question - is the 23mm f1.4 going to offer me any meaningful difference over the f2 for the above scenarios Thanks and sorry for bringing it up again...
