I have an always running 4 year old.   With my Nikon D750 it is very easy, just put the camera in CAF mode, choose 3D AF, and press the shutter button and voila, you got a series of perfect in focus photographs.   Doesn't get easier than that.

 

With Fuji XT2 not so simple.  Was trying different zone sizes, etc.   Still searching for perfect AF setting to work with

Is there a problem here? These images are gorgeous...

Yes.   I got one series in focus, i got another one with nothing in focus.    I think it has to do with Face Recognition on/off.   

 

1) We know that Fuji turns of PDAF if you use Face Recognition. That remains from XT1. So you can have either PDAF or Face Recogntion. If you want Face Recognition, you are in Contrast AF land.

2) However in CAF when you choose low (3-5fps) the camera will still allow you to select face recognition, but not the eye choice. In CAF high (8fps) the camera will not allow you to select face recognition period.

Does it mean that Fuji tells you you can track at 5FPS by face via Contrast AF method on XT2, but you cannot track at 8fps by face via Contrast AF method?

      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.
