Bro, IDK how I saw this video. I used to watch lots of your vids back in the day when I shoot Fuji (over 4 years ago). I've left and still shoot Sony today. It's cool that you still shoot Fuji. TBH, I do not feel "good enough" is EVER good enough when buying into a camera system - especially in today's technical market.
thanks for watching. yeah, "good enough" is a weird thing. everyone's tolerance is different. Like m43 vs apsc vs fullframe vs medium format... which is good enough? which is more than you actually need? which is just right for a given person? ...so highly subjective.
I think with Fuji we need to configure how we want. And this does not match the Fuji buyer's expectations. They want Fuji to be a Canon or Sony, but it's not, it's Fuji. I have a Sony A7iv and a Z8 and what I learned was: that Sony has fewer options and when you need more, it is frustrating, then Fuji has these options but when I use the Z8 (expensive than Fuji or Sony) I need to configure, like I do with my Fuji! Z8 doesn't work out of the box like the Fuji XH2s. Look, I am not saying that Fuji hasn't problems and needs more improvement of course they need too, but I worked to know how to make the camera work well as I did with my Z8 and my Sony A7iv, Sony has problems in other areas and I don't see people creating a big noise about that. When we talk about Z8/Z9 it's worse and what I see is a lot of channels teaching how to solve or talking about all configurations and explaining that. For me, this approach is way better than just complaining and not offering solutions or workarounds. We need to change our behaviour, we need channels that offer solutions and not just complainings.
@@Carlos-mw5rw I've tried many settings to make something as simple as walking toward a camera, at a rather casual pace, work and it hasn't gotten better. Keeping it in multi, there are two main adjustments to set, tracking and speed.ther is 0 to +4 in tracking and -5 to +5 in speed. If I had a solution I would gladly offer it. And beleive me I tried. But at a total of 275 possible settings I'm not making that video just to prove it. It would be an excruciatingly long and boring video to watch. But.. if you've figured it out, I ask that you please tell us the specific settings in multi mode that make the xh2s work properly for the rather simple test I performed. Forget ask... im begging, because I'd love to get my xh2s to CAF properly in video. Consistently. Reliably.
@randallherreraNyc I used two that worked for me: +4 and -1 and using tracking (the new feature) than I point the cursor to the subject and use like it, this work when I want to filme something in movement I will do a video and back to you with the tests of this approach.
@randallherreraNyc one more thing: This settings will reduce significantly the problem on my experience, but of course can occasionally occurs, but is very minimal. And one more thing: Sorry for my English! ;-)
I disagree. I got this camera because fuji said it's their flagship, new and fast sensor etc. If fuji offers eye af me as a customer I don't want an af which sometimes works and sometimes not. Edvard said in his last video he thinks the xh2s is working more with contrast af than with phase af. Even in your video the af pumping reminds me to old panasonic af and I am really angry actually. Imagine you buy a car with airbags...and as a customer you have to accept that it works sometimes. "You still have your car seatbelt ". Nobody would accept it.
@@clausstahl5413 totally understand where you're coming from. And I saw the Edvard video. I'm not super knowledgeable when it comes to the inner workings of a camera, but yes, that's exactly what it reminds me of, my gh5's video AF. Not quite as bad. But that pulsing, the way it catches the face, front focuses then back focuses then goes back to the face. Very much the behavior of a contrast detect system
I used to shoot full frame , then I switched to the fuji system and I love it . I have three bodies now and their lens system is so good

@randallherreraNyc at the end, look the Timo Varakas videos, he uses the camera without restrictions and works very very well.

@@Carlos-mw5rw no apology needed, I understood you perfectly.

with some adjustments the camera works and don't loose focus. Ou of the box will not work as you want.
The problems its give false autofocus so many times , @@Carlos-mw5rw
