Been mostly using OVF. A lot of missed shots (out of focus), but probably just me coming from a DSLR :)

Anyway, I enjoy the camera, the portability, the style, the IQ. All these shots are straight out of cam, no post processing what so ever.

 

All shot with the 18 f/2

A tip or two. If a dSLR is having a problem focusing, one can pick an edge and it will often solve the problem. With the Fuji sensor, that may well make it focus on the background. When shooting a face for example, size and place the rectangle where only the face is included and preferably containing a feature such as an eye. It is looking primarily for contrast.

 

A half-press will force the camera to focus, so you can judge. Hold the half-press and the focus is locked so you can recompose if necessary. The half-press does require a moment more anticipation but is pretty much fool-proof. Anticipation is good.

 

When tracking action, set to continuous focus and don't use a half press. Mash the shutter button down and the camera will trip the shutter the moment it is in focus.

Thank you for the tips! 

 

So I guess I should make the sure the face covers the whole rectangle to be sure it's in focus as I understand it from you. I wish the rectangle was smaller.

    • Looking more like the next Fuji camera we see will be an X-T50 but it is still a rumor and no specs have been published.
    • Hey guys, The shutter on/off button switch may be loose on mine. After turning camera on and pressing the shutter/holding close to the area, the camera will turn off and say 'sensor cleaning'. This doesn't happen if I'm shooting via touch screen at all. Everything else is functional. Anyone else experience this before? Would love a much cheaper fix since Fuji Canada just quoted me $700 CAD to fix it, and considering everything else is functional except that part I'm not even sure why MPMB Main Board parts is being replaced😕 I got no explanation from them either.
    • As far as I know the firmware is not country specific. Are you sure that the filename has not been changed ( I am told this can happen with mac os). That's the only thing I can think of.
    • My x-t5 does not exhibit the focusing switch behaviour as you report it, so that is very strange and indicative of a fault. It does not matter whether the flash is attached or not. Once you set the camera for your studio flash, say 1/250th at f5.6, the camera, which is showing you what you will get at that exposure without the flash, will show a black screen unless the ambient light is brighter than what you would typically get indoors. That is why, as Jerry says, you have to set preview exp/wb to off. I have set a button for this.
    • I connected to FRAME.IO a while back and it works fine, but the camera wouldn't connect to the internet all of a sudden today and would get stuck on the reset screen, including initializing and even switching USB Connection mode. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
