Very valid. I've used Fuji professionally since the X-T3 and would be lying if I said I didn't subconsciously adapt to how they focus in certain environments which is why I believe I don't have as pronounced an issue as most. Funny enough when I'm shooting for clients with the R5C, the habits clearly carry over for no reason. If Fuji doesn't sort this out with the next generation of processors, I think they're going to stop enjoying the climb in popularity they've had pretty quickly.

FYI the false positives are not from "the previous firmware". I noticed this first since FW 3.0 (around that one) and I recently noticed it on my X-T2. This is probably a historical issue with Fuji.

Full disclosure, I had never heard of VFlat World until this video and I have been making a living taking photos since 1980. That said, I am not a studio shooter, just an ex-news photog which is probably why I am not familiar with this company. Strangely enough, I do have a degree in photography, and back in the 80s, it helped to open some (not all) doors. Do I agree with the comment…? Absolutely NOT! One does NOT need a degree to take photos as a professional working shooter…PERIOD! Photography schools are dying on the vine, Brooks in California shut down years ago, and many universities and colleges no longer offer these degrees. I wish KZbin existed in the late 70s and 80s, would have saved my folks a lot of money (man they were pissed when I changed my major from Poli-Sci to Photography). No, the moron at Vflat is dead wrong, anyone wasting their time and parent’s (or the taxpayer's) resources is going to end up with an expensive, useless piece of paper hanging on the wall.

Thanks for the testing man, I appreciate it since I like to use my X-T5 to photograph birds sometimes. I expect to fully test this firmware on my own with the XF 150-600mm. Honestly I just wish the false positives are gone, literally the only thing I want at this point. Btw, a tip for shooting birds is to shoot with your drive in burst/speed. That way you should increase the chances of capturing sharper photos when they are moving. I hope you keep testing, hopefully the portrait session goes on. Take care!
@omarknowsphotos 8 күн бұрын
I love the 150-600, but hate Fuji for not making a battery grip on the X-T5 after years of one being glued onto the X-T3 and giving me a better grip on those bigger lenses. I think it's going to kill it though, that's a really fast focusing lens.

Can you recommend the 2x? Or may it be better to crop? I could see my using this for that reach in good weather conditions on a sunny day, because it is clear, that if you raise your ISO that infect the image quality that much, that it’s not possible to compare sharpness from a crop to 2x.
@omarknowsphotos 8 күн бұрын
I like it a lot, especially for video. There is definitely image quality degredation for photos but some light post processing cleans things up. They offer a perspective at a much lower price point than getting something really high end, so that's the real trade off. The 1.4x is a nice compromise because there's almost no IQ loss at all.
@polarized8708 8 күн бұрын
@@omarknowsphotos Yeah, that’s what I use at the moment. In the past, I had big lenses with more reach. But traveling with additional 1,5kg lenses just for shooting birds isn’t an option for me anymore. For most situations, I like a small lightweight lens like this. Hopefully Fuji implement something like Panasonic like the Hybrid Zoom, which is digital, but feels like optional on operation and doesn’t degrade image quality in video mode because of using 4K from 6K.
@awake780 7 күн бұрын

I currently have a X-T5 and previously used a X-S10. My issues have been with false positives on both cameras. In both landscape and street photography. It’s been a lot worse lately with each update on my X-T5. The camera tells me it’s focused but when I look at the photos on a computer I’ll see that the entire photo is blurry and nothing is in focus. It happens no matter which focus mode I use. I installed the update last night but haven’t had a chance to test it.

So this was a problem on the X-H2s prior and that new firmware update sorted it out. I never had a false positive on my X-T5 but I also skipped over the last 2 updates.

My GFX camera was actually working quite well before the firmware update and I was a little bit nervous about updating the firmware for that camera as I've got some weddings coming up that I use the GFX for but the XT5 is kind of my play camera now so I wasn't so stressed about that but I'm glad they seem to have fixed it. It was a lot better and I did some really hard-core eye testing today with it in my house and in lowlight situations at 1.2 and 1.7 on different lenses non-linear and linear lenses and I can honestly say it's significantly improved for photography.
