Has fujifilm fixed the AF finally?!

[@cyb]

Hey Adnac looking good there! On a totally different note, the 18-120mm has become more useful now because of the final cut pro magnetic mask(or even davinci's magic mask) since those works better in practice when there's not much separation between the subject youre masking and the background.

[@adnan_velic]

@@cyb hey! Glad you like the video! I’ll check that out! Thank you.

The stepping focus makes video for any cinematic type of work pretty unusable. obviously not an issue for photos, but if they could make the transitions smoother and not that jarring instant stepping it would be so nice. please fuji make the autofocus at least SMOOTH

[@adnan_velic]

@@michaelgreenstone4840 totally man I’m with you we need this fixed! I think the AF is going into the right direction with the latest firmware.

[@awake780]

Fuji has always struggled with smooth autofocus. You’d think a linear motor would be capable. I understand it for stepping motors a little bit more.

[@adnan_velic]

@@awake780 totally!

[@JakeChambersOy]

Edvard has a possible explanation why this is still happening on Fujifilm in his latest video at around 7:15 min.

[@JakeChambersOy]

Really happy to see this improvement and looking forward to the update for my X-T5. I hope I can finally move on from v2.10.

[@adnan_velic]

@@JakeChambersOy yeah me too!

[@simon359]

The real question for still photography, is whether when the person is moving, and the camera says it’s focused, are the images in the editor sharp or are they blurred? This has been the problem in the past, the camera says it’s sharp, but the editor shows different!

[@Sina3gs]

The camera is hunting if you see the background -in final thoughts - it looks like it's pulsing. Noticed exact same thing in my X-h2s too, in eye tracking mode but oddly not in in wide/tracking mode.

[@adnan_velic]

@@Sina3gs I only see the background thing you’re talking about as I move in and out of the camera and I’m moving a lot here but that is to be expected the background will adjust as the distance of subject to camera changes. I was specifically looking for the background pulsing but notice in the subject tracking I didn’t see any pulsing of the background as I’m not moving in and out I’m moving side to side.

[@cyb]

@Sina3gs That's fine as long as it's not constant pulsing. Pulses now and there happens on sony cameras (and even movies too!) as long as its not constant and distracting like before, for next tests probably the reviewers should test without the box thing. Overall looks good (and firmware notes they say this is still partial)!

[@BTMovieSecondChannel]

Tasted out the (object) tracking after seeing your video. It's insanely good now, it sticks so well! Feels very dependable, even with my 16mm 1,4.

[@adnan_velic]

@@BTMovieSecondChannel it really is very good!!! I’m so glad Fuji fixed the AF all around!

[@zedeglingo3134]

Thanks ! Are you sure it works for XT5 too?

[@adnan_velic]

@@zedeglingo3134 I may have misspoke here and if I did I apologize! This is only for xh2, xh2s, and gfx100ii

[@BenjaminKanarek]

I updated the firmware on my two XH2’s and the auto focus is super sticky🎉

[@adnan_velic]

@@BenjaminKanarek I’m definitely happy about it! I didn’t want to leave the Fuji system and I won’t be leaving now for sure.

[@Michael-fw5ef]

I am planning on buy and XT30 II. Will the upgraded softare be available for the low end cameras or just the top of the line cameras.

[@adnan_velic]

@@Michael-fw5ef I’m not sure to be honest. This AF issue affected xtrans 5 sensors and the xt30ii is a xtrans 4. My xt4 with xtrans 4 has better AF than my xh2s for a long time until this new firmware was released.

[@catherinegrimes2308]

@@adnan_velic I think that it is more to do with age or processor type as opposed to the sensor because the X-H2S and X-S20 are affected as well.

[@Eyeofkamau]

@3:42, it shouldn’t occur when actually recording on the 16-55. Were you rolling?

[@adnan_velic]

@@Eyeofkamau I’m not sure I understand what you mean? The exposure stepping?

[@Eyeofkamau]

@ yeah. When I had my 16-55 (on it’s latest firmware), they fixed the exposure stepping when zooming while filming

[@adnan_velic]

@@Eyeofkamau oh really?! I will give it a try and update the lens as well! I don’t usually update the lenses because it requires an SD card but I will make it a point to do that. Did you sell your 16-55mm or did you just sell the entire system?

[@Eyeofkamau]

@ give it a try! The 16-55 was my go to for doc work, loved it even more when they fixed that. I only sold it because I decided to switch to cinema lenses

[@adnan_velic]

@@Eyeofkamau very cool man! What cinema lens would you recommend? The only “cinema” lens I have is the 18-35mm lol

[@indago1]

So do we have to be happy that Fuji just gave us back what they took away? I mean, shame on Fuji for not doing it sooner

[@perigee1275]

Uh, No

[@adnan_velic]

@@perigee1275 no what?
