XF60 and Focus stacking

Does the in-camera focus staking work with the XF60 ??

Today I tried with my X-H2s , I set focus stacking as manual , step5 , seconds 0 , shots : 40

Just in case something might go wrong I repeated the shots with seconds 1 (1 second from one picture to the next).

At home I downloaded the picture into my computer, and I discovered that the focus did not change from the first to the last picture !

In short : is focust stacking possible with XF60 ??  (apart using some rail, of course) ?

Fuji Focus Bracketing is not a function of the lens but of the camera body and it was introduced in spring 2018 - any X camera since then should be capable. It was a Kaizen upgrade for my X-T2 at the time. I don't recall if there was an auto function possible with my X-T2 but there is with the X-H2S. I have never used the auto function myself, I've always used manual. 

If you downloaded a copy of the X-H2S manual, you will find the selection on Focus Bracketing on pages 116 and 117. The issue you are having may be with your step setting of 5 if you are trying to make a macro stack. As indicated in the illustration on page 116, the step values translate to a smaller number is a shallower change in focus and a larger number is a deeper change in focus. At 5, you may be too deep of a slice for macro. I have my setting at 3 for moths and insects and I am shooting with the XF80mm Macro. That may work for the XF60 or you may need a further adjustment - try and see.

For a better understanding, this video is pretty good: Focus Bracketing on Fuji X Camera's (X-T3 X-T30 X-T2 X-H1 etc)

    • Some elements in (autofocus) lenses are „floating“, so I guess what you are experiencing is normal.
    • How do I turn off the electronic shutter in the menu - the option is grayed out and I cannot select the mechanical option
    • I'm having trouble finding a way to attach a right-angle viewfinder to the Fuji X-H1 camera. Does anyone have experience with how the angle viewfinder behaves in combination with the EVF? Is the Minolta frame diameter of the right angle viewfinder suitable for attaching to the Fuji XH1 (or XT1, 2, 3, 5)? Does anyone have knowledge about which eyepiece is compatible with the Fuji X system? Thank you in advance for any assistance and information you can provide.    
    • I purchased a gently used XF 80mm f/2.8 aspherical macro for my X-T5. Not being familiar with this lens but having had experience with the Leica T mount 60mm macro and Canon and Zeiss macros, I was surprised that I felt what might be best described as a loose lens element that shifted when I tilted the lens, even before being mounted to the camera. In manual focus mode, the lens is fine, but there is a distinct “wobble” when the lens is in autofocus mode. I reported this to the company (I bought it from KEH), and they agreed this was odd and accepted it back for a full refund. I just got a replacement lens and the same thing is happening. I’ve never had an experience in which I feel a lens element loose inside the housing. Is this normal? Should I return it (again)?
    • Old post but hope this can help. You have to make sure that exp. comp. is set to zero in P, S or A mode before you go in to manual mode. If the comp is set to, let say +5, and this is of the range for the settings in manual mode, twisting the comp dial (left dial) want do any changes.
