Is it just my XH-1 or is this normal ?

I am a back button shooter for focusing so when taking stills I press the AF-ON button and the focus snaps in and when I press the release button to take the picture the focus remains,  perfect.

When I'm in video mode I still use the back button to focus but when I press the shutter button to start recording the focus is activated again.  This does cause me problems.

I have turned off the Shutter AF-C & AF-S in the Button/Dial settings in the Tools menu and as I say this works perfect in stills mode but I would like it to work in video mode as well.

It causes me and issue when shooting video and composing the image.

Any thoughts would be welcome.

thank you

      Please save me from insanity 23mm f2 vs F1.4r

      By George_P · Posted

      I don’t have the 23 f2 but I have read several times that it is considered a little soft at close distance, compared to the 23 f1.4 lenses. These will also focus at shorter distance from the subject, esp. the new one. So that might make a difference. The new 23 f1.4 LM WR  has better resolution, esp. in regard to the 40Mpix sensors, which you don’t have on the X-T2. What practical difference that makes for the value of the pictures one makes is disputable and subjective.  f1.4 will gather more light but with a smaller DOF, which may be desirable in some situations but not so in others, depends. If you like to shoot close ups, you will probably use higher f numbers to get a bigger DOF. Same for landscapes. If you are a bokeh fan, yes the f1.4 lens are better.  The older 23 f1.4 lens that you are considering is a very good and respected lens. The f1.4 vs f2 aperture per se is perhaps not so important. The 23 f2 is very small, light and practical and a great lens for travel and landscapes. So, go figure. I am afraid I just sent you further down the road to insanity !

      First post here but long time fuji shorter. I use the XT2 with the 23mm f2 / 35mm 1.4 / 16-80mm f4 I'm considering the 23mm f1.4 r (Non-WR) About me: - I shoot black and white only. - I like macro details to wide open landscapes and everything in-between. - I shoot mostly for art, intrigue and creativity of the image. My question - is the 23mm f1.4 going to offer me any meaningful difference over the f2 for the above scenarios Thanks and sorry for bringing it up again...

      XF 16-80 not holding focus at long end of the zoom range

      By EKOITA · Posted

      I think I'm having the same problem... I bought this lens second hand and it seems to be struggling to focus past 60mm. Did you find a solution? It's quite annoying!
