Hi Guys,

I ve upgraded my x-t1 firmware to 4.3

All my dials are on "A" with OIS is enabled on the lens

 

In single mode "S" the camera isnt locking the focus when I half press the shutter release button.

However, it focus ok only in "ADV" mode.

 

It was working until the moment I upgraded.

I tried with different lens and the same is happening.

 

has anyone seen this?

 

TIA

Thanks Scott.

thesquire--> you can upgrade if you choose so, I have not spotted any other issues "yet" ;-)

 

I can confirm that setting the Focus mode selector to Single "S" is working now, however, on Continuous "C" makes the camera and the lens labour hard and would not lock the focus.

This is a bug for fujifilm to fix hopefully, with the next firmware release.

 

I dont know why they dont allow the firmware to downgrade incase of bugs, if people chooses to downgrade rather that getting stuck with a buggy firmware.

myself coming from a software engineering background, Its not impossible. its just a rule imposed by some software engineer at fuji.

 

Fuji ---> please, tell your engineer to TDD their code. they know what I m talking about!!!!!!!!. it will keep your fan happier in the long run

 

cheers brownviper

Not certain it's a bug, the way Fuji explained the AF-C, it's the camera is always looking for something that is moving, so if you are static and try to log at something that's not moving, you better use the AF-L button on the back rather than half press.

The half press will make the camera try to lock it's focus on that moving subject.

It's not a bug, it's a feature  :-) There's nothing wrong with your camera. Like darknj said, it is looking for some moving object in order to focus on it and track it throughout the frame / focus area. Works like a charm (at least for me) in car racing photography, especially when a car is coming towards you. What would be the point of locking a continuous focus, anyway? :-)

    • I would like to know what photos with 50000 ISO give, with the Z6 it is more or less correct then pass to post processing and it disappears, I have no idea what this can give with Fuji
    • Bonsoir, Merci le retour d'information. Concernant la publication en anglais ok je le ferai avec Google traduction, néanmoins tout ce qui est publié sur votre forum est en français. J'aimerais comprendre 😂
    • None of the XF lenses I own have depth of field scales (so no hyperfocal marking). The X-T5 is weather-sealed and big enough (mine has the accessory MHG-XT% grip fitted) to use the longer telephoto zooms. I have the XF 70-300 and XF 150-600. I would say it is useful for wildlife photography (I mainly do birds), and roughly equivalent to the Nikon D500 in most situations. AF will be different and possibly inferior in some situations. The X-T5 will work well for street/landscape/everything that comes up. Fitted with the compact primes it's light enough and compact enough. XF 16/2.8, 18/2, 23/2, 27/2.8, 35/1.4 or 35/2, 50/2 are all compact and light and match well with the X-T5. XF 16/2.8, 23/2, 35/2 are all weather sealed too (as is the later version of the 27/2.8). I'm unsure about mount adapters and which adapted lenses give AF, EXIF, etc. I have a mechanical only Nikon F to Fuji X adapter, but it's only for an older AF 200/4 micro nikkor so I don't need AF/EXIF, etc.
    • You'll be asked to post in English. Hello, This is my first message on the forum. I come a little to fish for information to find the right way to buy. I'm looking for the lightness that's my Number One criterion, and then I'd like to know if Fujinon lenses have hyperfocal tagging? I'm looking for a camera to have with me all the time without thinking about the heaviness of the backpack. I went from reflex to hybrid at first it was all pink and then with the purchase of a little zoom my back quickly unduffering, for two days I haven't taken my backpack, yet a model not too heavy 800 g for the bag, I'm looking again. I think in time as Fuji photographs you see what I mean. I hesitate between several apn the Fuji X-T 5 / 50 / X-S20. The photos I want to take are street, landscapes and everything that comes up to me, preference to manual mode for 99% of my photos, not for the map. If in the pdv there is a little rain or spit I want to be able to continue making my pictures without having to put everything away. Then comes another photography theme that is wild animal photography, the question is whether one of these three apn is capable of doing this type of photo and of competing equal or greater with the Nikon D500. I know that the X-H2 series is capable of doing so, unfortunately it is beyond my means. On the objective side, I thought of 16-80 as a Swiss knife, with an 18mm and are there adaptor rings to come from another brand that work 100% for exposure data and map or not? Thank you in advance for your feedback. Cordially.
    • If you're using Lightroom (and maybe other software). you need to set it to download the raw and the jpg. Then you'll have thew raw (colour) with it's generated preview (also in colour), and the jpg (acros b&w) available for editing.
