Hey guys,  I've cleaned my sensor multiple times and double checked it. This line shown in the photo only appears on my camera wen the aperture is f 2.8 or higher.

I'm using my X-S10 as a webcam using the latest version of XWebcam, on an M1 Macbook pro, recently updated to Sonoma 14.4.1. I've done the additional steps to enable external cameras here (system-override legacy-camera-plugins-without-sw-camera-indication=off) and have downloaded the latest version of XWebcam with the additional extension to enable my mac to connect to the XS-10 which it does successfully now, albeit inconsistently and with crashes. I've noticed that the 'com.fujifilm.xwebcam.CameraExtension' will sometimes hang and cause the camera to not be found and will need to be rebooted in order for my applications to find my camera again. Additionally, after successfully using xwebcam for a teams call, the memory footprint of the com.fujifilm.xwebcam.CameraExtension process blows up to 9GB which seems absurd. Looking for any guidance or updates to the camera extension for making this actually work in a usable way.

For the first two images the light was harsh and you were using multisegment metering so the large expanse of bright sky is going to affect the exposure. And the main subject has face in shadow. Its a tough image to expose correctly. You might try one of the DR settings to help compensate when shooting jpgs.  Do you have a longer lens? Those photos might be more interesting if you could zoom in on the main subject (and it would eliminate the problems with the sky). It also looks as though you are using a fixed shutter speed of 1/250 which wasn't fast enough to freeze the arm in the second image. You are using AF-S with a large single point focus - are you making sure that your main subject is in focus ? (I would probably try AF-C with Wide/Area tracking and make sure the cameras has highlighted your subject)

Exactly. Welcome to our forum.

First question on these two images is how to improve the clarity and sharpness. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AQrqwqHAGiO-sZETKAEXiiREZ-1WLRTY/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dWxDFxYlFL1snmFEE1H16wGWjn4CvztJ/view?usp=sharing   This image is brighter in comparison, I see that it had an f/8 compared to the above f/11, I have my camera set to auto for most everything, any advice on to make the above photos come out as crisp with brightness as this one below? Is it only related to the f/ and if yes how do I change the f/ on my X-T4 if all settings are on Auto?  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qaxJfwnVo3aTPPMaeIkqzDLx_BN1SATK/view?usp=sharing
