Hot Pixels in new 50s II

Hi there, I've had my new 50s II for about 2 weeks now and I'm overall loving the camera. I've noticed that there were hot pixels with the straight out of the box in both the OOC jpegs and RAW files. My initial pixel remapping did take away the hot pixels, but different hot pixels would creep back in after about 2 or so days of shooting. Now, I'm pixel remapping about every other day out of paranoia. I understand that hot pixels are a fact of life with digital sensors, and the problem is more prevalent at high ISOs and long exposures. I was a longtime user of the Sony a7 series and the Fuji X series of cameras and can't recall a time ever having to worry about these hot pixels (aside from cloning out a few here and there from the occasional long exposure). I've noticed a lot of talk about hot pixels with the GFX 100s and am wondering if anyone else is experiencing this as well with their 50S/50S II? I'm hoping to find out before my exchange window runs out. 

 

Thanks!!

Hello schoepy

I have owned the GFX 50S-II since March (with around 2000 shots) and this problem has not occurred yet, thankfully. The problem of burnt pixels is typical and unique to the sensor structure and seems to afflict many cameras of many different brands. I think the cause is the frenzied rush to resolution / sharpness, which generates increasingly "dense" sensors: it is clear that among many millions of pixels "someone" can go wrong ...

      XT5 is so lag while shoot with AF eye tracking on

      Have you checked the settings for jpeg? I found the camera was slow between shots. On the advice of others in this forum I turned 'clarity' tp zero and that makes it much faster. Other jpeg settings on that menu might also make it slow. Lens corrections for instance. I have them at zero because I shoot RAW. Paul

      No, I was not joking. Reread her post, the first sentence is “The focus mode selector button on the front of the camera has  me baffled.” which is what I explained in my answer: the focus mode selector button. My CSM explanation is essentially the standard approach Fujifilm has taken for some time. Explaining the frame rate differences as I did to someone brand new to the camera seems an easier approach to understanding than saying it is 20fps vs 7fps. Not to mention, the following is how Fujifilm describes it: “Continuous AF: Focus is continually adjusted to reflect changes in the distance to the subject while the shutter button is pressed halfway. Use for subjects that are in motion”  https://fujifilm-dsc.com/en/manual/x-t5/taking_photo/autofocus/  You have to go to page 166 of the manual to get to a very brief explanation of CH vs CL without any context. High speed capture vs slower speed capture seems appropriate to explain so that someone that had been given the impression the top dials are needed for the csm button would realize how they work. I think it is better than saying put the csm button on S the top dial on CH and mash the shutter button — there is no example of when to use that or why. The X-T5 is a wonderful tool, but sometimes examples, humorous or otherwise, help new users understand it better when the manual does not help or when people tell new users to just leave it alone.

      The burst speed of the shutter is set by the CL and CH control on top of the camera, it is unrelated to the focus mode setting on the S C M control. The focus speed is not related to the burst speed setting. You might have been joking, but your post adds confusion.

      This switch is for your lens’ auto-focusing. ”C” tells the body to use continuous focusing, either CL (low speed -  for slow moving puppies, kittens or kids) CH (high speed - for faster moving puppies, kittens or kids or anything that.moves quickly or frenetically). CH or CL is set using the top dial settings. The subject keeps moving and it may be tricky to keep trying to focus to get the photo using the standard compose / focus/ take the photo technique. ”S” is for single shot focusing, point at the subject, half press the shutter button to compose/ focus, then full press to take the photo. Or just push the shutter button to get the image if the situation is suitable. ”M” is for manual focusing, you twist the ring on the lens to set the focus as you want then press the shutter button to get the shot. The focus is entirely up to you, the camera treats the lens as if it does not have a motor in it. Okay, that is mostly true, there are some very old lenses such as the version one 14mm f2.8 lens that can be set to override this setting and autofous anyway, but Fujifilm has not used that design in many years. Note: There are many aids built into the camera to help you manually focus your shots. https://fujifilm-dsc.com/en/manual/x-t5/taking_photo/autofocus/ https://fujifilm-dsc.com/en/manual/x-t5/taking_photo/manual-focus/ As you can guess, this switch setting does not have to completely match the top dial settings, manual exposure settings are different than manual focusing, I am surprised you were told not to mess with it. p.s. You may want to pose your questions in the dedicated X-T5 section to get quicker responses from the X-T5 users.
