Hi!

I Just got a Fujinon XF 90mm F2 from a store during a trip thru Colorado and when arrived home in Brazil, I started using it but since the begning I'm having trouble with focus issues as folows:

The lens aquire focus quick and without problems, but, if as farther the subject is, blurrier it gets... Even manual focus have the same problem, the pictures looks like you applied a gaussian blur in any image. Focusing close subjects, the pictures are sharp as expected, just the the distance increases, the blur follows the distance... I've tested with 4 different camera bodies (X-T20, 2 X-T3 and a brand new X-T5)... The lens glass is pristine and spotless as is the lens body and everything else. Use the warranty is harder as I'm in another country :-(

Anyone have seen this issue?

OP where you able to get this issue resolved? I bought a second hand xf 90 and have experienced the same issue as you. I have mine in for service for another issue following a fall, but I asked them if they could check it out.

No, I had my lens sent to a Fuji service center in my country and they were able to identify the issue but the cost was half of the lens, so, I Returned to Colorado where I got it... They said that the problem was in the focus block assembly and the new part isn't easy to find outside Fuji itself.

Okay, thanks for answering. After I wrote this, I saw your post at DPreview as well. I bought mine used, so no warranty for me, sadly.

      Display ISO will be chosen when auto iso is set

      By Cronin · Posted

      Found the simple answer to my own question. Having assigned Auto ISO to the rear dial, I only have to push in the dial to make the Auto ISO options appear, then turn the dial to choose. Nice and fast.

      Hello All, I am returning to photography after a decades-long hiatus that was prompted by my loss of access to a darkroom. Digital rendered that excuse moot, so I now return with a recently purchased XT5. I am from the Hudson River Valley in New York where I have spent the past five decades engaged in environmental work, mostly on the Hudson. I teach at Pace University where I direct the Gale Epstein Center for Technology, Policy and the Environment. My project ahead is documenting the unseen Hudson, a combination of the obscure, under-appreciated, and invisible - a street-style approach to people, places and things that make the river what it is. There will be little landscape, if any. The "Mighty Hudson" is well-documented. If nothing else, it will be a mission-driven project to bring me back to photography while learning my camera. I look forward to everything this amazing site can teach me. Cronin

      Fuji X-T4 AF-S and-C

      By IMX · Posted

      Hi,   I would really appreciate if someone could answer this question. Is it possible to have the X-T4 shoot in AF-S for photo mode and AF-C in video mode while the front lever is left at AF-S?  If so, how would this be done or wher in the menu system would I set this up? This is similare to setting the apeture at f/2.8 for photo mode but fioming at f/4 in video which I already have setup. Thanks and kind regards

      According to the manual you can assign auto ISO to any one of the function buttons but I've never tried it. (It's not something I frequently change so all my function buttons do other things.)

      Hello, I have a new xt5 and have enjoyed its setup, until now. I hope someone with patience can help me through my ISO dilemma. My question: I have assigned settings for Auto ISO 1,2 and 3.  Should I be able to select Auto ISO 1, 2, or 3 for a shot? If so, how?  Or is the camera supposed to. At present, my screen shows Auto ISO 3, and never changes. I assigned ISO to the rear dial to no effect. Of course, when I half depress the shutter button is see the actual ISO in real time, but the function of the Auto ISO and how to control it has me confused. Thanks for any help.
