That’s looking WAYYYYY BETTER. It didn’t try to grab your right hand the first time you inadvertently got it in frame. People try to act like Sony and Canon never miss focus and that’s a straight up lie. I’m looking forward to all the AF test videos that are sure to come to see it in more scenarios to see if it is truly fixed.
So true, my FX30 certainly doesn't feel perfect to me, although it's certainly better and probably the most reliable you can find today. I think many more videos will be coming our way analyzing this update.
Thanks for making this. Even though I don’t use Fuji for video I’m happy that Fuji is finally addressing these issues and it seems like a positive change. Hopefully this update will come to the xt5 soon too!
@@AntonJDCreatives He’s referring to the new 1.4 lenses. The f2 lenses were a bit better at autofocus than the old 1.4 lenses but they aren’t better than the new 1.4 lenses with the linear motors. I hope that made sense.
Hey bro. I'm an xh2s user myself. Downgraded the fw to 1.03 or 1.04, waiting for the better times. Could you please, please do a more scientific test? Downgrade to 1.04 and test, then run the same test on the latest update. And shoot someone else. Still cam/moving subject is not as complex as moving camera and the moving subject.
Hey man! If I find the time I could do something like that. Although I feel this is maybe the snappiest I have had the AF be on my Fuji filming my TH-cam talking head videos. So I imagine in the field it should be better as well. Just curious to see how it's going to be, I will come back to this comment soon to tell you my impressions in the field. Thank you for your question and taking the time to comment 🙏 Greatly appreciated.
@@lionheart4424 Edward is really good, but he is a little bit over the top. I take my hat off for his efforts. He did start a very good trend for people to begin openly talking about the problems with autofocus. I also wish somebody talked that way about the stabilization which on Fuji in video mode works in the same way it does in the photo mode which is wrong; in photo mode, the stabilizer must grab the scene, whereas in the video mode, the stabilizer must compensate jerks and let the image float.
But how does it work for stills, eyetracking and Continuous Focus? I got the Problem that the green Box wasn’t reliable and the Focus doesn’t hit the eye, although the green box was set on the eye
Very curious to see how it performs there! I shoot a lot of stills with it too. Burst modes and heavily relying on the continuous AF for moving subjects. I have to assume it will be a lot better there too! Thank you for your comment.
I love this, because my X-H2s is actually my main photo camera for fashion shoots where we do walking shots in bursts (in sometimes crowded places). Curious to see what the difference will be! Thank you for commenting!
I actually thought the zone did pretty good (I also thought I was on eye detect 😂). Eye detect should be better and I thought it was in some instances. Both in my opinion were smooth, but still some good old struggles here and there sometimes (although way less than before). Not perfect but definitely better and a step in the right direction in my opinion! Thanks for commenting!
Eye AF was quicker to focus on the eyes, as far as I could tell. There were moments when it was slower, and that was when putting an object in front of the face and expecting the AF to focus on the object (instead of the now-hidden eyes). In that case it was slow moving from the now-hidden eyes to the object, and fast moving from the object back to the eyes. I think this reflects the setting's priorities well. The algorithm seems to introduce a delay of around one second after it loses the eyes in the frame before it tries to refocus on something else, to avoid losing eye focus just because some random shape passed in front of the face. It's kind of an example of "you get what you asked". Ideally there would be a "product presentation" mode that decides between eye AF and focusing on an object in the center, prioritizing what is closer to the camera and more centered in the frame. Dunno if this firmware has such a mode. But if that mode was the default for AF-C, it would create a lot of bad results for people who are not doing talking head TH-cam videos (e.g. if you’re shooting a portrait session or a wedding, you probably don't want product priority by default, you want people & eye priority).
@@AntonJDCreatives really appriciate man, even upating a fuji camera can make people nervous these days. installing it and share it online with us, really means a lot. thank you
Imma be honest. I still expect better for a "Flagship" cam. I believe at this point it's the processor inside that cant keep up. We are in the age of transparency and Fuji is failing in the category. My issues go beyond the autofocus with Fuji - Inconsistent lens correction, bloated filming options, weak app features, lens options etc etc. For me Fuji is still a "fun" camera to have around but to take it on a professional shoot (which I do often) I just cant rely on it. Great for photos tho...
I fully understand where you are coming from. I kind of feel the same in terms of corporate shoots where you want your camera to be a reliable work horse. I always tend to take my FX30 for those kind of jobs. But I feel like the Fuji maybe brings out my artistic side more, and keeps me inspired to think of new film ideas. Thank you for your comment!
Zone detect was good, the eye AF is kind of lagging which makes it not very pleasant to watch but then again in a normal situation such movements would be rather rare. It's a bit better let's say but somehow not fully convincing.
Do you know what's funny? Is all the bloody idiots that sold their Fuji film cameras. They're gonna look like idiots now and I kept saying on many forums and many platforms. Don't sell your fuji camera. They will fix it. I was actually quite glad that many people were selling their Fuji gear as it dropped the market price of a lot of good gear which I was able to pick up so thank you very much to all you numpty out there who said it wasn't fixable clearly it was and well done Fuji it's probably still not perfect but it's pretty good and it's workable and that's all we want really we're not expecting it to be the same as a Sony if you are you kidding yourself well done to Fujifilm....
I actually didn't know there was an update coming until a few days ago. Didn't know so many people were selling off their fuji's either. The comments here are pretty ruthless too, not too many fans of the Fuji brand. I know there was/is a huge fuji hype lately, but apparently it died down a little recently. Good for you for believing in the system and eventually prevailing! This certainly is a big step in my opinion. Thank you for your elaborate comment.
i don't regret selling my gear and moving to the nikon ZF. I sold my xt5 and my x100v. I'd get another x100 when availability becomes easier but i was able to sell both cameras high. Fuji has not been a company to be confident about especially with them dropping their kaizen mentality, their shortage supply and them having this whole debacle of AF issues.
@@rayriggz16 24 megapixels is not enough for cropping. In my opinion. It's a good camera the ZF but that's the one thing that holds it back plus it's heavy for what it is. I still think Fuji will make a very big comeback now that they fix the firmware.
@@nevvanclarke922524mp is better for low light images. Nikon are making lenses that are much cheaper than fuji variants. Look at the 50mm f1.4 compared to fujis 33mm f1.4. i do hope fuji make a comeback as I was with them for the past 10+ years and I enjoyed their system but i've lost faith as they seem to be concentrating too much on film simulations.
@@rayriggz16 I think it's a game of patience to be honest. I knew they would fix it in the end so that's why I didn't sell any of my gear and it looks like they will be fixing it and probably improving it.

I should professionally but not full-time and I still really enjoy my photography work but when I've picked up a Sony and Nikon just for 10 minutes I hated them even they may produce great images.... I might be different but the process of taking the photos is just as important as the outcome of the photos
you are using the sigma lens, which is the worst performing of all my lenses on my x-t5, when it comes to AF-C. considering that, it looks really good now.
I can imagine fuji lenses will work even better, although my XF35mm f2 performed horribly. Sometimes I regret not buying the fuji 16-55 instead of the sigma, but it's so light and compact it really lives on my camera.
I have struggled in the past too for stills. Haven't used it yet for stills with the new firmware update, but you'd have to think it is somewhat improved too. Thank you for the comment!
Bro I saw your vid and checked to see if the GFX100II got updated. FLOG2C is out and those colors are really improved on the GFX camera. Yours should have it too. Its basically a new wide color gamut that is a 1:1 of ACES
I know! Forgot to mention it in this video because I got so caught up in the AF test. I suppose this F log 2 C is like an Arri Log C. Definitely curious what that profile is going to give you in terms of more color depth. Thanks for your comment!
I really like that lens, it's so compact and light while giving you the sigma quality. It's the perfect travel lens while still giving you the full frame 24-70ish range. For natural handheld video shooting you maybe want to rig your camera with some more weight or use a heavier lens to take out some jerks. That's the downside to lightweight lenses. Thanks for your question!
You should also consider Tamron 17-70mm f2.8. I'm using it as my "work horse" for last 18 months and I never felt disappointed. Sigma will be a great choice too, but with Tamron you got that extra 20mm to zoom. I got Fujifilm X-h2 but I think on X-T50 should perform great as well. Greetings Man!
Is it? I read and watched a lot of people online saying the X-S20 was pretty good in focusing. I previously owned the X-S10 and I thought even that was pretty good.
@ I used it a few weeks ago at a cycle race and tried face detection and bike tracking. Face detection was jumping all over the place where I expect3d it to have concentrated on the focus point. As for the bike subject detection it just didn’t work for me. Both were unusable and I switched back to single point. I also tried the custom setting to ignore obstacles and continue to focus (might have another name) which didn’t do anything. My old X-T2 was better. Previously I had only used subject detection for animals which was mostly OK.
Hallo Toller Test 👌 ist eventuell aus Versehen passiert aber man sieht dein Kind hauf dem Handy. Leider zu viele Idioten im Internet die weiß der Geier damit anstellen 🤦 Denke man kann das nachträglich über TH-cam verpixeln. Nur ne Empfehlung ✌️
I know, I don't think it's a big issue in my case. I am even planning to make a video about my daughter and potentially posting it on TH-cam. Thank you for your concern though, appreciate that!
As with everyone else's tests there are some unknowns. Is your 35 f/2 the latest lens firmware? Should we even expect a lens of that age to give the same autofocus as brand a new lens, the 35f/2 wasn't made with video in mind and has unoptimized motors, that's a hardware limitation that no firmware will ever fix. In general Fuji users expecting a $2000 dollar camera to compete with 4000 and 6000 dollar cameras is just hilarious. I love my Fuji and if i need critical focus, I manual focus. Walk onto a set and ask the focus puller why they aren't using auto focus, you will bring the place to a dead stop.
100% facts. But as a solo filmmaker/crew, as so many of us are, autofocus is just something that is so useful in so many situations. Ideally I wish I was in a position I was able to manually focus as much as possible, but neither the jobs nor the time frames allow me to do that most of the time. But I definitely think this firmware is indeed an upgrade this time.
For the money of an X-H2s you can almost buy a Canon R6 mkii or even a Z6iii if you push a little further. Also Sony a6700 or a7Cii exist and they perform better at lower and similar price respectively.
You don’t need a 4K or 6k dollar camera to perform well in AFC. My Panasonic S5IIX performs, in my opinion, flawlessly in comparison with the Fuji XT5 that I work with sometimes, and it cost me 1.8k euros. Being their first iteration of PDAF and being almost on par with Sony says good things about Panasonic.
I have seen some of his videos on this topic. I think he customized his settings to where he was getting better results. Nonetheless I think this update is a win. Thank you for your comment!
I understand where you're coming from. Hard to swallow that such a big brand is still struggling that mightily with just developing a reliable AF system. Thank you for your comment!
@ i really hope the finally get it right so the constent problems can stop, but selling APS-C Cameras that ALSO dont have reliable af for the same proce as many Full frame offerings wont be a good strat long term…
Better but still bad compared to Sony. I see still pusling, hesitation .... i am ex Fuji user and i leave that system long time ago. Just buy a Sony a6700...i dont get Fuji system anymore there is nothing in it.I buy a7 iv before 3 years and the AF is much better despite the senosr is not stacked etc.
I have an FX30 which I use regularly for corporate video work and the AF is definitely much better. Although, in my opinion, it's not perfect either. Thanks for your comment!
Definitely not Sony level AF, although I think this is pretty smooth and accurate. Especially in Fuji world 😄 You're not a fan, I can tell! Thank you for your comment.
@@Maikl_Puzov I have a Sony FX30 for my corporate work to be quick and efficient and as a work tool, it certainly is way more reliable.

If they did so because of the autofocus, I think they will probably be a bit disappointed now, yeah 😄
Watch latest video of camera conspiracies he did better than firmware .
I have seen some of his videos on this topic. I think he customized his settings to where he was getting better results. Nonetheless I think this update is a win. Thank you for your comment!
To me, the eyes look soft and the first without eye detect was sharper?
@@IanButterworthyyc That could very well be the case. I didn't pick that up initially.
The 35mm f2 is an horrible lens for video. It hunt so much
Yeah I was pretty surprised, actually.
I lost all trust…every month fujis af gets fixed or needs fixing..its a disgrace…
I understand where you're coming from. Hard to swallow that such a big brand is still struggling that mightily with just developing a reliable AF system. Thank you for your comment!
@ i really hope the finally get it right so the constent problems can stop, but selling APS-C Cameras that ALSO dont have reliable af for the same proce as many Full frame offerings wont be a good strat long term…
It’s brilliant. Take that fuji haters.
It certainly feels a lot better right out of the gate.
hint: nope, check the bokeh its lol
Better but still bad compared to Sony. I see still pusling, hesitation .... i am ex Fuji user and i leave that system long time ago. Just buy a Sony a6700...i dont get Fuji system anymore there is nothing in it.I buy a7 iv before 3 years and the AF is much better despite the senosr is not stacked etc.
I have an FX30 which I use regularly for corporate video work and the AF is definitely much better. Although, in my opinion, it's not perfect either. Thanks for your comment!
@@AntonJDCreatives its not your opinion is a fact thats is much better.
FUJI - Focusing, Ugly, Jumping, Irritable. It's a shame that Fuji can't do anything. But it's not realistic to sell the equipment. Nobody wants it.
Definitely not Sony level AF, although I think this is pretty smooth and accurate. Especially in Fuji world 😄 You're not a fan, I can tell! Thank you for your comment.
@@AntonJDCreatives I have an xt3 xs10 and as a fuji lover it's just a shame I put my trust in this system.
@@Maikl_Puzov I have a Sony FX30 for my corporate work to be quick and efficient and as a work tool, it certainly is way more reliable. But the XH2-s is a phenomenal camera when you look around on TH-cam and see who uses it and what is being made with that camera. Even with the X-T3 take a look at this video th-cam.com/video/i4jyK7hgUg8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=sQviUz93ymf8jXZw That's the most insane quality I have ever seen, shot with the XT-3. He even thinks the AF on that camera is pretty good...
Lmao nobody wants it while resell values is up 100%
Completely disagree
