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".

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By PoorAlchemist · Posted

      I found the reddit topic i refere to :  https://www.reddit.com/r/davinciresolve/comments/1pc3f1e/cant_apply_new_fujifilm_gfx_55_lut/ "Update for y'all, It's just like what @ExpBalSat said, it's because of the backslashes in the names break them. I changed the file name and it works now. "   For me it was the solution. Realy annoying if it doesn’t work for you 😕

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By Don Barar · Posted

      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

      Please save me from insanity 23mm f2 vs F1.4r

      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...
