Hello, I found that FUJIFILM X-T5 setted with AF-S priority to "focus" doesn´t priorize focus and allow shoot before scene covered with focus point is in focus. Camera has first and only FW 1.0. Tried with Fujifilm 16-55 2,8.

Is there any possibility to report bug officially to camera developers?

Thanks Petr

Any chance you have AF+M selected in the AF menu?

Interesting observation 

I recently returned my XT5 as I felt that images were to soft and it was with the 16-55mm lens specifically with AFS-S.

comparing with my XT3 I saw that there was a difference in sharpness and rendition detail.

There is a firmware update for the XT5 -- 1.01. https://fujifilm-x.com/en-us/support/download/firmware/cameras/x-t5/

Advice needed.

I bought the FujiFilm X-T5 and now know why the X series has such a great following. I have shot images on Olympus and Lumix micro four thirds for 10 years and love the system. However, I wanted to move to the APS-C world for a bit better noise and DR.

Unfortunately, ALL of my pictures are not as tack sharp as my m43 images or X-T5 images I see from others. I am shooting with IS continuous, AF-S mode, center weighted exposure, F5.6 with a Fujinon 18mm F1.4 lens which I was told is very sharp!!! I also have the Fujinon 23mm F2 prime as well. 
 

on some pictures, I also see a magenta noise bar across the image. I believe that I may have a lemon. Thoughts….

I am sorry that you have a bad experience, nothing comes to mind that I could advise you except ask for a replacement. I have no problems whatsoever with my 5. Every now and then a problem happens with a product from any  manufacturer. A few years ago I got a bad (soft) 90f2. I took it back to the shop and got another one that is perfect.

Are you using back-button focus?

If you have set up your X-T5 to Back-Button Focus, the X-T5 will never prioritize focus over release. It does not matter if your focus mode lever is set to AF-S or AF-C, and it does not matter if Menu > AF/MF > AF+MF is "On" or "Off".

If Menu > Set Up > Button/Dial Setting > Shutter AF > AF-S (and or AF-C) = Off, THEN Back-Button Focus is active AND the X-T5 will not prioritize focus over release; shutter button will always release.

If Back-Button Focus is used, AF+MF can be set to "On", but AF + MF  does not, in itself, allow out-of-focus shots; instead, it is the Back-Button Focus set up that is allowing out-of-focus shots. Anyway, I leave AF+MF set to "On" because it can be useful for fine tuning focus in tricky situations. I'm a Back-Button-Focus shooter.

If you are not using Back-Button Focus, but are focusing by half-pressing the Shutter Release Button, then, as others have pointed out, your X-T5 will never prioritize focus over release if AF + MF is set to "On". It does not matter how Menu > AF/MF > Release/Focus Priority is set, the shutter will release whether or not it is in focus if Menu > AF/MF > AF+MF = "On".

      Fujifilm X-T50 Film simulation confusion

      By ruralrelic · Posted

      Example: I am using a custom recipe, and I then use the film simulation dial to select a simulation. Are values from the custom recipe carried over, such as highlights, shadow, and white balance etc.? After studying the articles in Fuji X Weekly, this appears to be the case If you set a recipe on one of the C slots its settings will be applied to all the film simulations on the dial. The workaround is to use your 'standard' recipe at C1.   Please clarify this for me . I would have thought the film simulation dial would have no input from other camera settings.   Thank you - Very Confuded!

      Camera clicks twice after taking one shot

      Is this on the X-T30 II? Sounds like you have HDR selected in the shooting menu. The other alternative when you see the "storing" message is that the Clarity setting is non-zero but that doesn't cause multiple clicks.

      what happened to Capture One?

      By mcewena · Posted

      My XS10 came with a Capture One license but my PC at the time would barely run it so I stuck with my ancient version of Picasa.  Bought a new PC and my old Capture One has been deprecated and fuji site only talks about a 3 month trial.  Is there a work around or should I be looking for something else?

      On aperture priority and single shot, camera clicks twice after one shot and then takes several seconds showing "storing" message.  This is a new camera and did not do this at first.  Does not do this on auto.

      Macro Lens Buying Advice - Tech/Product Photography

      By Astigmatism · Posted

      I have the Fuji 80 mm macro and really like it. It's very sharp and I use it for macro but also for general photography. If you find yourself zoomed to 55, this may land in the right spot. Also, this lens is very good with magnification distortion (pincushion or barrel), which is probably important if you're doing product photography and the product has straight lines. It is autofocus. I hear you don't prioritize that, but there's something else you gain when you have autofocus. You can combine multiple photos taken at slightly different focus distances, using stacking software, and autofocus lets the camera automate the process of taking all these, using focus bracketing. It even calculates how much the focus should change between these exposures. This lens, new, is above your stated budget. Maybe you can find it used? In any case, options are always nice to have, and others may like this option too. So, just a thought. One more thing: I've never used the Laowa macro you mention, but I do have their circular fisheye. I love circular fisheyes, and also have two other brands, and comparing them I find the Laowa is considerably better than the other two. That's a vote for Laowa.
