Having had an x-t5 for several years, I can honestly say that I have absolutely never encountered this problem. The only failures I see are when tracking moving subjects and even then not often. So, in my experience, this is definitely NOT typical for the x-t5. Certainly not for static subjects at least. Nothing to do with sharpness, but did you mean ISO 800? 80 doesn't make much sense with the x-t5. That would be within the extended range where you will get less dynamic range. Either you are doing something wrong or there is something wrong with your camera or lens. Do you have the release/focus priority for af-s set to focus? If not that might be the problem. Also, it is not a good idea to have the face/eye detection on when there is noone in the shot.

Autumn is hanging around ready to take over summer's job. Locally, it will be  at least a month or longer before widespread fall colors are ready. But it is officially Autumn. And some flora are not waiting to show off their pretty colors ...

pw pix, thanks for your sharing your experience, and I am happy to know I am not the only person whom this has happened to. I held the X-H2S and really liked it, so I wonder if that may be a better camera to switch to ...

Thank you Abmet. 1/480 of a second at f 5.6, ISO 80. Focus point is dead center.

It's a problem with the camera and phone not agreeing on how to manage the pairing. It appears to only affect phones from Oppo, OnePlus, and any other brand that uses the same oppo/OnePlus version of Android. My xt-5 was broken by a recent firmware update in exactly the same way. As far as I'm aware it's a problem with the camera firmware NOT the X-App. It's disappointing (to say the least) that this isn't going to be fixed. Also the remark that it only works with stock android is nonsense, since there are plenty of people out there with Samsung phones. What they meant was, we can't be bothered to test it on ColourOs. It would appear that Fuji are, gradually ensuring that ALL their cameras don't work with ColourOs which doesn't seem like the smartest move...
