I have been playing with the X-T2 and found that it doesn't seem to like AF tracking at the extreme end of the 18-135mm 'Super Kit' lens...


 


It focuses once but does not re-focus as the subject/camera distance shifts.


If I zoom back to around 100mm then I have no issues... I have updated the lens to the latest firmware.


 


I posted this on the DPReview Forum and other posters have reported the same issue when they tried it…

I haven't noticed any problem like you describe with the 55-200 (although I'm not sure I entirely understand the problem you're describing).

 

However, I will point out that AF performance is always going to be worse at the long end of a variable aperture zoom. That's one of the reasons why sports shooters fixed aperture f/2.8 lenses...

I have the same problem that this 18-135mm zoom being unable to focus beyond roughly above 70mm. The focus confirmation remains white and there is "! AF" flahsing in red. Also occasionally, I have the green focus confirmation but the subject is out of focus (always at the longer end of the zoom). Firmware is the latest 1.11. Any suggestion apprceciated. I'm re-reading the whole user manual to see if there is something else to adjust. Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to have it checked by Fuji. Thank you.

 

Update: I may have found the solution, if this helps, please leave a message here.

1. Menu

2. AF/MF

3. Go down the list to AF+MF and set it to OFF

 

I have been trying this over 2 days now, it works well at the long end between 70mm to 135mm.

 

As to the cause, I'll spend more time on it later on, it really should work properly even when AF+MF is set to ON.

      X-s10 Fast shutting 20/30 fps crop ES

      By mapoett · Posted

      Hello. Thankyou,now Is all more clear: I have take some time in your link. Let tell you. I has totaly forget this machine have "compress picture option" and not Only "compress lossless" anyway not change the experiment. RAW  and this last two format look like same result about Number of recording picture. Can tell all results in this: in raw you can make 17 pictures for second. Is wrong. Is about One single Press and wait buffer. Full 30/20/10/8 not change. After 17 Need Press again. You not can Press before "redgreen light recording Is on".   With preshot you can have 25  are more 7 pictures . The story change Only in jpg shot only. In jpg at 30 you have 30 picture but redgreen light off very Fast so you can shot very quicly. At 20 shot Is about start look like infinite shot. 60. So the best performance are this last One  about Speed and recording picture after camera working witout big limit. I want take a shot about Italy cyclet Just for passion. I think i Will use this last setting.  After Need check when battery not are full change and ambient temp.  Anyway my cam look like exactly specific about you link. Im Happy my cam working perfectly.

      Hello from Iowa

      I do not use Flickr, so I do not know what their BB code is. All I did was copy the second link you provided, (starting at https: and ending at  _k.jpg — leave off the [img] and [/img] tags) and pasted it into the message. After a moment, a message popped up asking if I wanted to paste it as the image or as a plain link. I did this twice, the first time I had it paste in as the image and the second time as a link. Nothing fancy or tricky.

      So do I just copy the BB code from flickr and paste it anywhere on the page like other forums or is there some other trick I need to perform to get it to post?

      X Raw Studio Doesn't Create Drive for Camera When Connected

      By JovialLich · Posted

      All software is the latest between camera and app. All settings are correct on camera. I have both lossless and uncompressed RAW files on the card in the camera. I have been up and down every reddit thread to no avail and am losing my mind… I’m doing all of the right things. It even sees my camera. It just doesn’t create the “drive” for it (see attached image screenshot).  Please Help!

      X-T30 II Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display viewmode not working

      By grizzski · Posted

      Not sure how to delete threads, but I figured out what was wrong. In short, I was partially misunderstanding the view-mode's function. Also, the "+LCD Image Display" part requires that you have the Image Disp. setting set to anything but Off. Then it will display your last image on the LCD. If it's off, it's behavior will be exactly like the plain Eye Sensor setting.
