X-T1 Manual Focus Check Not Working

I recently upgraded to the X-T1 from a X-A2. On the X-A2 it had a feature where in manual focus the lcd would auto zoom in on the subject when the focus ring was turned.

I can't remember if this feature was on the X-T1 when I first started using it but I have started using a Samyang lens and cannot seem to get it to work.

 

I have S/C/M dial set to M then menu>set up 1>screen setup>focus check (on) but when I turn the focus ring the lcd does not auto magnify.

 

I have tried it on the Samyang 12mm as well as my Fujifilm 10-24mm and it doesn't work on either. The Focus Assist button works fine just not the Focus Check option when moving the focus ring.

 

The camera is also on the latest firmware v5.10

 

Can anyone shed any light....I have seen this option work on the X-T1 on youtube but cannot figure out what I am doing wrong.

 

Thanks

  1. This won't work with non native lenses. Just checked. It works fine with my Fuji lenses but as soon as I put a non native lens on it does not work. A good workaround that I use instead is to shoot with my thumb on the focus assist button. This works better because you can go back and forth between zoomed and normal view when you want. If you hold the focus assist button you can also change the function and activate split screen or focus peaking. Not sure why this is not working on your native Fuji lens though? Fuji is notorious for some settings canceling out other settings. Hard to say which could be the culprit though?

      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.

      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?
