I really didn't see much to adjust in the settings but are there any specific settings that should be changed in the 50s ii when it comes to sports?

I know the 50s ii isn't made for sports but I did get 2 emails this week where people wanted to photograph boxing and mma stuff. I was just doing this for my own hobby and didn't expect to get contacted for work so quickly and of course it has to be for stuff the 50s ii isn't the best at. 

I have the 35-70 and a few manual lenses and I'm guessing the 35-70 might not be that fast for action photography. I wanted to get the 50mm 3.5 soon but I've read that the focus in it is really weird and the manual focus part of it isn't that usable. 

If anyone has any tips I'd love to hear them!

      Years ago I carried my Canon film cameras hyperfocused, but now with Fuji X equipment the autofocus works so well hyperfocusing is a thing of the past. I have a Fuji XF 14 mm f/2.8, one of the older lenses in the line, and it has depth of field and focus distance marks (and an unusual clutch to put the lens into manual versus automatic focusing mode). But I've never even tried hyperfocusing it. None of my other lenses have the markings for this. Could this be a non-issue?

      Purchasing XS-20 in 2025 is a wise decision?

      Hi All, Purchasing xs20 in 2025 is a wise decision? Fujifilm launched offers to their most of the products in last few months, so many of the photo enthusiast are planning to use this opportunity. But the below rumors are still in the internet and no one addressing it properly.  I hope this forum can answer, how they feel about xs20 in 2025.  1. XS20 users still facing the over heating issue after upgrading to the latest firmware and shooting outside during hot weather is disaster due to overheating.  2. Over heating occurs during the videography, thats understandable, overheating is a serious concerns during the photography, navigating through the menus, simulations. 3. This camera is not suitable for those who lives in hot climate.

      It would be helpful for the OP to indicate what imaging software as well as the OS (Win/Mac) they are using. We are assuming it is Lightroom Classic. If it LrC, there is an option in the settings/preferences > Presets > Raw Defaults to choose "Camera Settings", which will apply whatever settings were set on the camera when the image was taken to the image you see on the computer screen.
