I primarily photograph dogs with the XH2s. My problem with the autofocus is that it initially focuses on an eye, but later I see on the computer that the plane of focus is on the nose. Does anyone else have this problem?

Capture One is a great program. Now, after the ToS came out, I wanted to opt out of Adobe. I had bought annual subscriptions so there was no money coming back to me (that's bad, but a contract is a contract), so I went in and canceled my plans (Ps and Ai). I then went into My Account to delete my account, but the option wasn't there. I contacted Chat and asked them how to do this. After an hour of getting pure BS, I was abandoned. I went back in and got someone else who spent another hour with me and said it would be done. It wasn't. They said go to my account and delete it there. The option still wasn't there. So I went the route again and was told I still had a Stock Image Plan and that would have to be cancelled first. I told them to do it, but they said that would take 5 to 7 business days. I got an email 2 days later saying it was done and I could now go in and cancel my account. I couldn't. Turns out I also have an Acrobat account (not one I ordered or have ever paid into), and that's why I still wasn't seeing the Delete Account option. I got back on the email and by now I'm getting a bit "insistent" on all this. I got another guy who said it would take 30 days to close the account after I select the Delete Account, and they had deleted the Acrobat plan for me, so I could now go in and that option would be available. Nope. Plan is still there. When I contacted them again, they said they would phone me in 12 days to 'assist in resolving this issue.' I said I never asked for a phone call and why did I need one? I spelled it out yet again what I wanted. No reply. If there ever was any chance that I would have come back to Adobe before, there isn't now. It will take a full month to get the request through and I seriously doubt they have any intention of honouring their promises that were made to me repeatedly. I am sending a copy of my transcripts to the DoJ and FTC on this. In the meantime I've moved to Affinity. Never going back.

His results are similar to mine except he uses way more examples and shows you settings of everything. This is not a user fault I’ve been shooting with fuji since 2018 I know these cameras inside and out. I know what lenses do what. I chose the 18-120 f4 because that is the best AF capable lens for video Fuji makes at the moment and I didn’t want people questioning me on the lens aspect of this issue. The lens was updated and the body was updated.

Too little late for me I sold the lot, I have no faith in the brand anymore, sold the camera/s and bought 2 r6 mkii, I mean there the same price for god sake if not cheaper in places and got the 28-70 and 50f1.2 only had to put 500 towards it, a no brainer and it runs circles round the xh2s, simple walking shots that id only get 5 critically sharp out of 30 shoots AFC I now get them all in focus and no messing with settings, IS IT PEERFECT? god no but I have faith its going to get the shots such a braids maid walking down the isle in focus. Which the XH2s wasn't even able to do NOT A SINGLE F'ING ONE! which im now going to have to explain why I couldn't get this little girl in shot.

@@jlm300185 Well I priced it up the RRP on an 18 23 33 F1.4s and 56mm wr are just shy of 800-1k each so actually works out more expensive than the 28-70 at RRP and a heavier bag over all with the fuji kit. The xh2s is £2500 RRP the canon is sitting at 2k new and 1800 second hand and if you go grey market 1600 quid! So no it actually works out cheaper! The 28-70 f2 covers almost all of these focal lengths in one lens, of which you can find for 2-2.5k if you look around, I sold the lenses for are 6-700 each pretty much covering the lens. I got 2x 1700 for bodies 100x2 for the cf express cards so far lost no money in the transition, I do have one more r6mkii to buy and will have to put money toward the last lens, 35mm f1.4vcm for a more walk about set up. weight is also a big problem when holding the camera with the 28-70 but the bag is lighter over all. and a far simpler set up.

It's definitely a lot better on bird recognition. When birds in flight fly past background clutter it would alway lose focus and then pulsate back and forwards. Now it's 90% locked on. I might even use it over MF.... pretty happy with that. Hopefully further improvements will come, but this is the best firmware so far for my wildlife uses.

Fuji needs a totally new auto focus system going forward for new cameras in the future. I am not confident buying any Fuji cameras right not until they change the auto focus system.

@@adnan_velic there are folks downgrading to older firmware versions. If you want to do that it's certainly possible. For my personal use, I have 2 bodies, and I don't upgrade the one I use for MF scenarios until a couple of months after a new firmware comes out, and I do my own testing. It seems irresponsible for folks to jump on the next firmware when they need to camera to work for professional scenarios.

@@chicanetiwhy are we the irresponsible ones and not a huge billion dollar corporation making promises? I think you got it the other way around. If we allow fuji to release firmware and we just accept it for what it is they will NEVER change. Speaking out about this is good. It forces manufacturers to improve so the consumer wins.

@@adnan_velic they have engineers constantly innovating on this and putting in massive hours to make it what it is. Fuji isn't tracking this conversation AT ALL. They know their job, and they know when they fall short. They are putting out major improvements 2 years after a camera was released. There will be bugs. Billion dollar company or not, there are just a few humans working on the AF algorithms.

I think people are focused too much on the green box and not the actual performance of the autofocus. Even if the box is lagging the autofocus was still keeping up with you and the lens pretty well. The green box is just a screen graphic it doesn’t fully determine the outcome of the autofocus it’s just a visual to help you understand where focus should be
