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".

      High-contrast scenes creating too dark JPGs with X-T50??

      High-contrast scenes creating too dark JPGs with X-T50??

      By jerryy · Posted

      Which direction is the light source coming from in the dark images? For example, if it coming from behind the subject, a common occurrence known as backlighting, put some light from the front toward the subject — you can do this with a flash unit, or by using various types of colored reflectors. Or, use long exposures with various grades and types of graduated neutral density filters to bring out the dark areas without blowing out the highlights. Or try bracketing exposures. There is a technique called ETTR, expose to the right, which will bring out shadow detail but risks blowing out the brighter sections. This may help in understanding DR settings as well as Dynamic Range Priority: https://www.jmpeltier.com/fujifilm-dynamic-range-settings/ p.s. The situation you are describing has been one photographers have struggled against since cameras and photographers have been around.

      Looking for HDR RAF image sample

      By DrCQ · Posted

      Hi, I'm looking for some Fujifilm HDR RAF image samples from the X-T4, X-Pro3 or X100V cameras. These cameras should store 3 RAW images inside the RAF image file in HDR mode. In need it, to verify my own software, but don't find any downloadable samples on web. Can someone help? Christoph

      High-contrast scenes creating too dark JPGs with X-T50??

      By Tvir · Posted

      I would like to get your comments on the following problem of mine: Occasionally, I do get too dark JPG pictures with X-T50 - when the scene is contrasty; I think this is the very situation. This can happen when sun shines from a blue sky or the sky is cloudy but still very bright. I find these outcomes strange, as in many other (more or less similar) situations I find that the exposure is balanced. Is there any remedy for this, as I cannot completely figure out as to why this happens. Photometry is at the most common center-weight setting. What factors/settings can affect the picture's exposure in X-T50 (in the situation I describe)? For JPGs I've set the dynamic range on (DR400 with ISO500). Can that do it?? I thought it balances contrasts... Well, I can adjust the exposure on a computer but that is extra work for holiday pictures.

      Like Jerryy says you can scale you image down so that it can be uploaded - that way we aren't guessing. The only symbol that looks like a camera is the Continuous Mode symbol - but it normally has "L" or "H" next to it rather than a "1"
