Recently I was taking photos with my xh2s and when I was looking at the photos afterwards the camera said: 1- detected face (but it focused on something else) 2- whatever the camera showed was in focus wasn't Tripod and stationary subject. Unacceptable.
I wonder if the camera needs to know where the nose is in relation to the eyes. It seems once that straight on relationship is lost, it focuses on a closer object because it thinks the nose is closer? In other videos, once the structure of the face is blocked, then the problems show. So maybe the issue is how the AI is trained and how it defines what a human face is?
Yea it's strange because clearly it knows where the eye is as the focus box stays on it. It just seems the focus area is way larger then the eye box and then changes focus to what's closer to the camera for some strange reason.
They need to fix this stuff ASAP. I wonder if this is the same in bird and animal? I have XH2S and firmware 6 and didn’t notice this issue when shooting wildlife. The AI tracking is clearly not giving feedback to the AF system.
Usually when I shoot birds I'm using the 150-600 so at f 5.6 u probably won't notice as much if it focuses a few inches shorter or deeper. It just really shows when u do eye tracking and a low f stop.
@@WillieWalnuts I agree it would be less noticeable in wildlife unless you had foreground and it snapped to that. I haven’t noticed that. But regardless, if the tracking is telling you one thing and the AF system is trying to focus on something else than they aren’t working correctly together. The tracking should tell the AF system what focus points are important. It clearly is not doing that. Seems highly broken.
I tested in all 3 of the video auto focus modes. It seems it just doesn't keep focus locked on the small eye box ever with the new update if something else is in the same area and is at a different depth.
Actually, these types of tests are not the best. You should test with many more variables, such as a constantly changing background, multiple people, varying lighting conditions, and so on. However, even under these conditions, either the camera or the lens, or both, fall short of the required performance.
Yea i just wanted to make a quick video. Even with the latest firmware i was out shooting a Snowy Owl the other day it it would still randomly lose focus and pulse, even on a static subject.
Glad to see people make videos like this, We all hope it will be fixed( with a lot of other stuff)
3:53 chin focus
i got the same problema with my xh2s man...hope fuji fix this issue asap..damn thats a flagship camera
Yea it's kinda crazy it's like the eye box is just to make u think it's focusing to that point even though the real focus box is way larger.
and they fix something ?
Great video and I second the handsomeness!
I put extra make up on for this shoot to appear more handsome then normal.

They released a camera with a film sim dial, those are their priorities.

Its not that , earlier firmwares 1 2 3 4 5 dont do that, you can cover your other eye fully and it will still keep the eye in focus.
Goodbye Fuji...

I am not experiencing this with my XH2S's (two of them) on 5.03. What AF mode are you in in this test, Multi, Wide/Tracking (new) or Area?

What a joke this AF is. 2024 and Fuji gives us this bad bad firmware. Can't believe it.
you're so handsome!
This is utterly ridiculous especially for a *flagship* camera in 2024...

Can bearly hear your voice
I will adjust the audio louder in future videos. I edit with headphones on sometimes I don't realize how low it is.
