You make some of the greatest Fujifilm content. Thank you so much for your hard work and everything you do for the Fuji community

[@andyp5693]

Good content but way too much a Fuji shill. The AF sucks. Really sucks. And he's never admitted it nor tested it. 40mp cameras have unbelievably high false positive rates in all modes. In AF-C taking moving images of cricketers / sports or even ducks in a lake cause absolute chaos. Fuji. Park your film sim junk to one side for a moment. Focus all software r&d into Autofocus. BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT SERIOUS PHOTOGRAPHERS NEED! Canon, Nikon and Sony don't do film sims yet control 80% of the camera market!!!!

[@jmlec54]

Firmware 7.0 for the H-2s does not seem to have fixed autofocus issues, not by a long shot. I still get false positives, especially with the xf 150-600 in continuous AF and with subject detection (birds are no longer recognized and, when they are, they come out blurred). Fuji's autofocus woes are not over yet.

I'm frozen in time with my fujifilm X-H1. My previous camera (X-H1) took a swim because of a canoeing incident. Replaced both the 100/300 and the waterlogged X-H1 with with a new 100/300 and a new (*zero frames) X-H1 via Fujifilm's Pro Service. An awesome value for new gear that's better than buying unknown condition used stuff. If you have a portfolio on a website with a Fujifilm camera that's noted as your work camera, you are golden.

[@Banquet...]

This update really seems to have helped my wildlife videography on the XH2s. Birds in flight are really locking AF now when flying in front of background clutter. Still the occasional lost focus, but I'd say it's 90% accurate now, rather than 40-50% before. So I might actually use AF mode for wildlife now. Yay! :)

[@TwinIonEngines]

As a wildlife photographer, my heart skipped a beat. I am HYPED to try this out on my X-T5! UPDATE: Tested with the X-T5 and an electronically adapted Sigma 500mm F4 DG OS HSM lens. (notice, the HSM motors are prior gen to current linear ones). Everything shot at 7fps burst mechanical shutter, subject detection, AF-C, Auto ISO, manual shutter and aperture, zone focus, with custom AF-C setting, handheld with the aide of a monopod. I went out shooting birds in motion and sitting still, late afternoon until sunset, so lighting conditions were fair and leading into low-light later. During fair lighting, my keeper rater is now around 80-90% of my shots, from previously around 50% During low-light, the keeper rate is still around 60-70%, versus less than 30% prior. This is a night and day difference from the past, dare I say it is borderline on par with the likes of Sony, almost. The focus hunting and lock breathing is almost completely gone with good lighting, and this is with me testing on an adapted lens that has slower motors than newer actual Fujifilm counterparts and their LM technology, I'd say with those its going to be EVEN better!

[@lionheart4424]

I have not tried a lot for bird photography with my X-T5, lacking a 400mm or longer lens. Once you have tried the new AF please let us know how is the current keeper rate. I have confirmed that bird tracking has false positives two versions prior to the current FW.

[@TwinIonEngines]

@@lionheart4424 I'll reply to this post or update it once I have gone out for some testing. I have the XF 200mm F2, 150-600mm F5.6 to F8 and an adapted Sigma 500mm F4, all of which I'll be trying out with this new AF update. I will preface that the previous update had already massively improved AF-C subject detection AF lock, especially for birds, and from that the keeper rate had already increased a decent amount, so I am very curious to see if it'll improve even more with this newest one.

[@robertgrenader858]

Awesome news about the Eye auto detect. I has stopped using that because of the error types you mentioned when shooting live events, preferring Face detection instead. It was weird when imaging a speaker at a podium that the focus point was on the microphone, not the eye. Have to give it a try next time. Thanks Rick.

Now we just need Fujifilm to fix the age-old problem of out of focus shots when using wide angle lenses in AF-S mode and focusing on something at infinity. You are welcome to check this out Chris, there are numerous threads on DPReview should you be interested.

[@benejpocock]

When I first watched the Fuji announcement, and they pushed a new film sim (didn't even mention AF!), I thought 'oh, here we go, let's paper over the cracks with something else'. I was pleasantly surprised when I went to the download page to see that 'fix on AF area for pupil detection' was on the list. Needless to say, I've updated my X-H2 and happen to have my kid's school sports day today, so it'll be a perfect test to see what improvements have been made.

[@monchogarciacom]

Te corrigió los problemas esta última actualización, as notado mejoras?

[@pragmatologist]

Several users here and elsewhere have reported difficulty installing the update via the 'old' method of doing so--put file on card, update from card. I am one of them. Using the file from the Fuji download page, the camera sees it and declares that there is no update available. It also writes a .downloadcr extension to the file on the card. Never could get it to work, even removing the lens and trying just body only. What finally worked was the X App. I downloaded v4 through it to the phone, and then the phone to the camera. It takes forever at 104 MB, but it finally did the update.

[@robertsirota7211]

Hi Chris....great video as usual. When you demonstrated the eye detection autofocus fix, what was the release priority set at--"release" or "focus"???--(-I suspect it was "focus", but I'd like to be sure...getting this kind of focus right has been a challenge!)...thanks.

I discovered a quirk while updating my X-T5 firmware... I kept getting an error message that no firmware was found on the card. And yes, I was on the "BODY" selection! After reformatting the card and starting over I got the same error. I did this several times.... Then... I noticed I had a third party "manual only" lens attached (TTARTISAN)... I swapped back to the kit lens that came with the camera, selected the "S" option on the front selector and yep... It worked fine!

[@pragmatologist]

Same thing here, but I have not solved it yet. Using a Tamron 18-300mm zoom, and firmware updates have not been an issue in the past. I will try this as 'body only' and see what happens.

[@markusebel1899]

Very good video, as always and nice to see your beautiful dog. But my autofocus on the X-T5 hasn't really gotten any better. I only use the camera in AF-C mode (children, family, dog + 16-55 f2.8). In particular, the eye autofocus is simply no longer reliable. Even with firmware 4.0, the focus is in many cases somewhere other than on the eye, even though the eye is recognized and a green box is there. It's even worse when I use a flash with manual settings for shutter speed/aperture/ISO. If I use the tracking field without eye autofocus, I always get good results. I also have the impression that it's better at low ISO (100-800) and good light, but why does a green box appear when the focus isn't right? Overall, I'm slowly becoming disappointed with the performance. The Fujifilm X series would otherwise be such a great system with such outstanding image quality.

Dear Lord in Heaven IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I jjst did some natural lights test of people in action and the eyes are IN FOCUS!!!! Thank you for this update reminder!

For me, it is not fixed on the x-s20. Shooting stills (2 persons sitting in a restaurant) yesterday with eyeAf, afc and wide tracking on it could not find the eye (not good , but ok it was lowlight), but it finds the face and framed it green. Then the photos where taken. But on the result the face is blurry and the ears are sharp.

Great tutorial! Can you persuade Fuji to fix another autofocus bug: X-T5… if you press the joystick it re-centres the focus area to the middle of the screen. Great. But this only works once you have lightly touched the shutter release first. If you turn the camera on and (without pressing the shutter release) try to re-centre the focus box by pressing the joystick it doesn’t work. Very annoying! Please have a word with Fuji

[@jeanleplancher8727]

Hello Chris, I'm owner of an XHS 2S for some of the Video Pro uses. I just updated the firmware to 7.0 and I am quite disappointed with the results for the AF update. In addition, this update caused new bugs for me, notably the LIVE VIew (the automatic switching of the LCD - EVF no longer works!). If the engineers who design the hardware at Fuji do a good job, on the other hand the computer developers who program the firmware and software are really bad. When will we finally have an efficient and reliable AF system, which does not also introduce new bugs for other functions? Is there a quality check before new firmware goes live at Fuji? This is no longer possible and it is not a professional attitude, they will lose market share to competing brands with such negligence. Chris thank you for your informative videos!

5. A minor bug - on my X-T5 I had very randomly behaviour of the IBIS. With the 90mm F2 Only worked on continuous or off - on shooting mode, didn't do anything! With the 100-400 sometimes it worked when half pressed the shutter.. and suddenly gone! I would restart the camera and would not change the behaviour. After some good amount of photographs when I half pressed the shutter button, the IBIS locked again - no settings were changed! I tested it yesterday with both lenses plus the 33mm F1.4 and they all behave as supposed. IBIS continuous.. always stable. IBIS when shooting mode, halp pressed the shutter and the IBIS actuates and smooths everything! More minor stuff that is not so minor I still have to test. So far, much better. Green light confirmation (autofocus) a little slower but OK focus. Before.. more swift response, the camera recognized the subject / face / eye.. and then.. not in focus.

[@williambooth1253]

I did the X-T5 latest firmware update, v4.0…. I went to an arboretum the other day to photograph flowers. I had the X-T5 in AF-S mode since I didn’t have a moving subject. The camera would not focus properly within the AF box. What the heck, the latest firmware update now has compromised shooting still photography. It’s the first time I’ve had a problem with the X-T5 having focusing issues in AF-S mode. These weren’t even “false positives” images. The camera’s autofocus wouldn’t even give me a green box AF confirmation when focusing on a single, subject flower. I noticed that my focusing box was placed directly on the flower while the camera focused on the background space. Recomposing the scene and half pressing the focusing/shutter release button did not help. I was well within the minimum focusing distance. It felt like the camera wasn’t even trying to acquire focus from the green focusing box. Soon after, my camera completely froze with a black out screen. I took out the battery to reset camera. Focusing seemed OK after that. I suspecting bugs in the new update.

[@williambooth1253]

Good news! I just took my camera to Venice Beach and did some street photography using the X-T5 in continuous auto focus mode at the skateboard park. The camera worked flawlessly with the tracking of the moving subject and acquiring focus quickly. I was impressed with the speed of the camera to re-acquire my subject even after the skateboarder left my field of view at the bottom of a pool and reappearing into the field of view back at the top of the pool lip. I need to examine the sharpness of focus within Capture One. I believe 1/1,800 of a second will be ample enough to handle the motion blur. Overall, I was highly impressed! I generally do more single shot auto focus with recomposing my scene with using focus lock.

With the popularity of the new firmware downgrade process that some users are doing, Fuji could not have released this soon enough. Hopefully it does actually fix the AF issues!

[@rodneytopor1846]

Nice. But many X-mount users who like wide format images are still hoping for a firmware update that provides a 65:24 (or similar) crop option such as GX-mount users have, so we can pretend we have Hasselblad X-Pan or Fujifilm T-X1/2 panoramic film cameras. With 40MP sensors, this is now practically useful. And I can't see why it should be difficult to implement in a firmware update.

[@swissheartydogs]

Indeed. See 65:24 panos by Adam Gibbs or Alister Benn, both with Fuji GX. Would be perfect on my XT-5 for creative composition (mainly landscape photography, travel/street photography).

[@romaproductions]

Since I updated firmware in my XT5, it seems when I record 4K 60fps, any picture profile, with High NR to -4, it's still applying a huge amount of NR, images don't look sharp and look very muddy. I looked through every setting, and can't find anything else that applies NR. I'm not sure if it's a bug on these latest firmware update, or if it's something else. But the camera became useless. Any one else having this issue?

I have been dealing with this issue for a long time now. Subject detection AI properly detects the object (animal's or human's eye etc.) and marks it green even though it only detected where the focus should be acquired but without acquiring actual focus. Hopefully it will now work better. I have also noticed that subject detection works significantly better in AF-C with Zone AF rather than with Wide/tracking.

Reala ACE is just a marketing trick to lure you into buying new camera (i.e. adding it on XT-5 but not on XT-3 or XT-4). You can get any film simulation you want with any Fuji camera in Lightroom, as long as you have LR version that already implements that given simulation. There's a simple and old procedure (requires file editing) to unlock film any Fuji simulation on any Fuji camera. Drawbacks: you have to shoot RAW (obviously - so that simulation is applied during RAW processing on computer, not in the JPG created directly by camera) and this procedure has to be re-implemented after each LR update (files get overwritten during upgrades).

[@cosmashono7665]

I find this gimmick very very annoying. There is absolutely no reason to not include it in the XT4/XT3.

[@oudviola]

If I recall, a lot of people complained that the previous firmware update for the XH2S (and possibly the XH2) made the eye/face autofocus worse than it was previously. I would hope that this latest firmware version doesn't just improve on the previous one, but on anything previous, especially since it is apparently almost impossible to go back to any earlier firmware versions at home.

Hey tks Chris, always appreciated. If I may, regarding auto bracket focusing - When setting the "steps," (A and B) with camera secured on a tripod, do you focus first on the nearest pt and then another 2nd point by moving the small green focus box around the frame w/o changing the actual lens (this may be several pts. from front to back) - or - just go with the first focus point nearest the camera in Auto - and then move the focus box to the farthest point of a landscape photo? No change or movement of the lens, just the green focus pt. in the view finder. [Fuji XT5]. So real far distance w/ first the flower close and then mtns far away? Watched several videos and all just seem to gloss over this detail point. Do you adjust the camera lens or just change the focus pt. with moving the green focus pt. box. Thanks much.

I just updated my XT5. The camera was making a loud vibrating noise during the update….It was the lens. I had a TTArtisans 56/1.8 on . The XT5 Did not like that lens on the camera . Took it off. Noise stopped and firmware finished…..Strange…I think!

Love the depth of your tips and techniques for Fuji cameras and lenses! We have a problem with one of our two X-T5 camera bodies having some sort of "lock" icon showing in yellow on the back of the LCD and don't know what it is affecting or where to take off that lock. The same body (used by my wife) also tends to overheat when mine doesn't even when we are shooting in the same conditions. She does do a lot more ICM and multiple exposures than I do and takes a lot more frames than I do, but it still seems odd that her camera overheats so easily. Do you have any ideas or suggestions?

I purchased a GFX 100s at B&H in New York City on August 2021. I have installed recently the latest firmware version (2.12) and I encountered that the front wheel has stopped working. I use my camera always in mode "M", using both the front and back wheel to change aperture & shutter speed. I have noticed that the front wheel has stopped changing any value: "aperture", "s.s." and/or "ISO" (no matter each of which is selected on the menu). In addition, the aperture is not changed despite the GF lens is set the aperture ring to "C" and/or "A". The front wheel does not work no matter I select "M", "A" or any other shooting modes. Only the aperture is changed by the back wheel on "P" mode. Is there any chance to downgrade the firmware version to 2.11, so that to see if the front wheel comes back to work properly, or any other option available?. Any piece of advise would be much appreciated.

[@plasticonegro]

Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm pretty wary of the idea that Reala Ace (and Nostalgic Negative) can't be included in cameras with X-trans IV. Computationally, are the new simulations so complex that the previous processor cannot handle them?... I am convinced that it is a completely viable update, and that if Fujifilm does not do it, at least for the moment, it is not for that reason. I can understand that (maybe) it is necessary to generate a different programming to achieve the same simulation using the previous processor, and that for now Fujifilm prefers not to invest in it. I can also understand that the brand considers that the most recent models must demonstrate that they have more advantages and options than the previous ones, and therefore it is only a commercial strategy. Maybe one day they will finally do it, as happened with other older models regarding other simulations released later, and to show again that even after so much time, they take care of their users (which is very good). Love your channel pal2tech 🥰

I can constantly freeze up my T2 (and I think T3) by pressing the play button directly after taking a shot. No amount of waiting will resolve the writing function, and you can't do anything unless you pop the battery out. And I mean, pressing that button DIRECTLY instantly after taking the shot

The TTL and HSS don't work either. After a factory reset and restoring the configuration from a backup, the TTL option completely disappeared from the camera flash menu settings (FLASH/FLASH FUNCTION SETTING/MODE). After removing the battery and putting it back in the camrea, the TTL option is back, but does not work. It looks like the camera is not communicating with the transmitter. Does anyone have a similar problem?

I have a question. Was the autofocus problem found if you turn off subject detection? And with the current firmware update, is it better with or without subject detection? Thanks for any info you can share.

I mainly shoot animals and birds, occasionally motorbikes, so I’ve been holding back on updating my X-H2s because of the recent issues, this is at least reassuring that they’re working on it, fingers crossed. But thanks for your great content as always.

Very informative, thanks a bunch! Lovely dog, by the way😃

Hey love your videos and I was looking for a serious review on the allegedly improved af on the 4.0 firmware upgrade for the xt5. I’m not sure if you’ve done one. But in my experience the af is now worst than ever

[@john-wiggains]

Glad to hear you got a new puppy! ! Thanks for covering this. Super stoked to update my Xh2. Never had any problems (guess I don’t jiggle my camera the right way) 😂

[@skepsys]

is af touch-tracking usable in video now? is it reliable?

[@BalacIonut]

Thank you for the great content! :D I updated my X-S20 and either Capture One nor Lightroom shows the new film sim Reala Ace. Shoul we wait for updates for the aps?

[@yudaadhiguna4577]

Same, I don't find it too in adobe lightroom. The reala ace color profile is still missing

[@AShvets]

I join the question

[@MarinCTC]

Thanks but are there no updates on xt4 is it really worth me upgrading to this newer model ?

[@JonLloyd65]

I bought my X100VI about a month ago and Reala Ace was on the firmware update I did when I first unboxed it. Am I missing something? UPDATE! Apologies, I realise now that the Reala Ace was for the other cameras mentioned and the X100vi gets the other updates. Thanks for the video!

[@gearobsessed]

The update only added Reala Ace to XT-5 as X-100VI already had it at launch.

[@rolandgasser6711]

When will Fuji finally get the autofocus under control? I don't understand the developers! All other brands are better in this! I love Fuji but sometimes I hate it when an important picture is blurry!!

Pal to ambassador. Such a font of knowledge. Thank you thank you Mr Tec❤

[@edwardkurek5355]

After looking at your link . You forgot to mention the GF55mm lens also has a firmware update.

[@jmguitarnavy]

I've shot many rolls of the actual Reala 100 in 35mm and 120, but I never got to shoot the Ace variant, some said it was a premium version for the Japanese market. Wonder if the simulation manages to nail the original look.

[@stanegg0]

Great video you explain things so well. Cheers
