X-T5 PRE-AF Option Greyed Out

Hi All,

I just got my X-T5 and was attempting to set it up following a few YouTube videos. A couple of them recommended that for beginners that the PRE-AF option be turned on. However that option is greyed out. I have varied between S & C modes and then one by one changed every Autofocus option available but it still refuses to be available. I've spent nearly an hour and a half combing through Reddit, YouTube, Google search results, and have not found an answer. If I'm missing something obvious, I admit that I have to have my wife find things for me when they're in plain sight ("Stop looking with Man-Eyes" she love to say) but I believe I've done due diligence.

Can somebody tell me what I've missed?

I have the 18-55 2.8 Fuji kit lens. I realized after I posted that that was important information I left out. The last camera I owned was a film Nikon N90, so my learning curve is going to be steep, but this has me stumped (not really saying much there 😉

As far as I know, PRE-AF works only in high speed mode!

I'm not sure what you mean by "high speed mode." I did a User Settings Reset and returned the camera back to as it came out of the box, in case I changed something by accident that prevented me from getting the PRE-AF option, but it's still greyed out. Obviously, I'm missing something.

I'm not even sure I want to enable this setting, given its impact on battery life, but now I HAVE to solve this mystery.

sorry, I was wrong, according to the manual PRE-AF works only in ES (electronic shutter mode ). 

I set my Xt5 to shutter type M+E, that works. 

menu camera mode 1/3 last item, hope it helps.

Well, I upgraded my firmware last night to V.2.00 and guess what? The PRE-EF is now available. I have absolutely NO idea why I couldn't access it before.

Thanks for your help. I am really excited to be a real photographer again! This forum is such a great resource and I know that I'll be availing myself of the combined wisdom of the Fujifilm community many times.

      Strange artifacts on XT-3 raw files.

      Maybe try taking a photo at something like f/16 of a plain white wall and see if you get the problem. if so then follow Jerry’s advice.

      Have you tried using the sensor swab (and liquid) approach? The in-camera sensor cleaning is limited in what it can accomplish. There is no way for the dust it knocks off of the sensor to leave the body, so that dust will swoosh around inside the body and as soon as the camera is moved, some dust lands back on the sensor. Those dust blower bulbs can remove some dust as long as the compartment is sealed so that dust leaves and does not just move to other areas in the camera. These though,  will not remove very much dust that has strong electrostatic charges almost seeming to glue the dust to the sensor. Try the swab approach as well as cleaning the lens’ rear glass and see if that helps. p.s. Welcome to the forum.

      Wow, I never did get to try that! Though, I spent summer '79 exposing and developing astronomical glass plate negatives.

      Strange artifacts on XT-3 raw files.

      Hi, yesterday I noticed some strange square shaped artifacts as well as a nasty grain in my raw files. It's only seen when enlarging to a great degree but there are things there that shouldn't be. It very strange as they appear in most images but not others. The ugly grain affect gets substantially worse if I attempt to sharpen. Noise reduction improves the grain but doesn't do much for the square or sometimes L-shaped artifacts. I always have sensor cleaning on, so I don't think it's a dirty sensor. Any help would be appreciated. https://www.amazon.es/photos/share/66NfvMAkAMbMrquYnxUcwtqnaHc7qwmeDp2DI3UKAvu https://www.amazon.es/photos/share/IKFlNU5RELyYEntW5Gtg96SwIMoiHI9nmQF7ByXUrFg

      OVF magnification

      By AlexSokoloff · Posted

      Forgive me if this is a dumb question but I've had a hard time finding an answer. Is the OVF on the XPro series one magnification only, with the frame lines changing for different lenses? I had an XPro1 with the 27mm pancake and the frame lines were a lot smaller than the field of view - quite different from my old Hexar. I found it quite distracting and eventually sold the camera and bought an XT1. I don't really like EVFs though. I've checked the OVF on an XPro2 with a 23mm lens and that was more or less what I want, but my primary lens is the 35mm 1.4 (which I love). I was just wondering if the magnification changes once you mount a substantially longer lens. It's a long shot but....
