Thank you for making this video, i am really annoyed with the autofocus from fujifilm, i have already downgraded my X-H2S to firmware 1.03 which is way better than version 7. but now i can't use the xapp because it requires firmware 5.00 or later, and i also cannot use wide/tracking in video mode. very disappointed in fujifilm.

Great video , Thanks , yes as I said it is usable now , you can work with the af, but still in some situations it will fail more often than the first firmware. I do extreme tests to explain for everyone what is going on. And i think it’s unacceptable that is some cases it is worse than when it was released.

Thanks alot for your input. Would you like if we make a live together and talk fuji?

I would mainly use the X-H2S for bird photography. For bird photography, the 7.0 is no better than the 6.0 or the 6.01. Unfortunately, even in the case of a bird sitting in one place, most of the images are more or less out of focus, and there are only a few well-focused ones among the images. Despite the green frame on the bird's eye, there are still defocused images. And in the case of a bird flying towards me, it is simply useless, unable to focus on the bird. In the case of a bird flying sideways, a slightly better result can be achieved if the background does not take the focus away. Unfortunately, the subject recognition is not very strong either, it easily loses the subject and focuses on the background. Those who don't use AF-C, only AF-S, or only photograph landscapes, of course don't understand what's wrong with FUJI's focus.

I have an xH2. with. FW6.0. I use a 70-300mm and what you say doesn't happen to me. It detects me very well and has clear photos. I am very happy with this update. Surely it has flaws to correct, but what technological device today doesn't? I doubt that the xH2 will be "better" than the xH2s after this update. What lens are you using? Out of curiosity I ask you.

Oh wow thanks. This is alot to do for smthg very basic though

Thank you for your tests and videos. Fujifilm still hasn't solved the focusing problem. I use my X-H2s (fw 7.0 / Yes, it's a little better than 6.01 & 6.0, but still far from good) at events and shoot kids and haven't noticed any major improvements. This mostly applies to photography in AF-C, but even in AF-S mode there are misses. I don't shoot video content, but photography has become problematic for me after 2 years of using the Fuji x-h2s. I've been using the x-mount system for 7 years, I love it, but I adore the color and aesthetics of fuji, have spent a lot of money on lenses and different bodies (in all this time) but I am completely very upset and disappointed. How can you mock your loyal users like this? Constant promises and no improvements. I am very disappointed. ((

I am a Nikon Z f user and I don't think Fuji users will appreciate Nikon's design philosophy. Nikon sacrifices some user experience for efficiency for example the implementation of PASM dials and how Auto ISO and ISO Dial relates. It's not the same switch retro to retro.

It’s a complicated issue. There are so many variables that can affect the autofocus algorithm, and you changing the lens and the aperture shows that. I own a Fuji X-H2S too, and although these issues don’t affect my style of photography, they need to get these issues fixed ASAP.

For me its a mind breaker... My xt4 (dont know when was the last time i updated but for sure i'll never update it again) can focus multi with no huge problems and my xh2s cannot... A 2700$ camera (1000$ more expensive than xt4). It can compete with main brands they said. I only find pulsing and hunting. Multi is a dissaster. Even 16-55 which is supossed to be parfocal gets stucked when changing focal. They could be thinking about 16-55 with ois. But no, 16-50 with f4.8... just to solve 40mp issues... I have a wedding this Friday and a6700 will be my main camera and xt4 for backup. Im not carrying with me the xh2s. The worst of all is Fuji not giving any sollution. 1.03 its fine but i need iso in front dial and ss in back dial plus i havent the firmware update to install it. Would be so simple: Fuji offering all the firmwares to downgrade until a real solution is given to us. Or 1.03 plus some aspects of the latest upgrades. But no. They are thinking on 100xvi, xt50 and bla bla. They are an xt5 but worse. And the marketing purpouse: low production to make them unique and to be wanted by many. Plus the whole vintage old fashioned color science lie. Nah, im a new kid in Sony's town.

@@photorabz yes. I think this is a new principle of marketing, like modern smartphones: in order for you to buy new equipment and for it to look like it works better than the old one, you need (under the pretext of various improvements, compatibility, etc.) to offer a new fw, after which (the client can you don’t immediately notice some changes, seeing the pros and not noticing the cons...) but the camera starts to work worse compared to what it was before.

Unfortunately

I bought the X-E1 back when Fuji only had three lenses and two cameras. Fuji has always lagged behind with their autofocus; it's consistently a few years behind the competition. If that's a dealbreaker for you, switch to a different system. Life's too short to wait for Fuji to catch up with decent autofocus. Some of us might not live long enough to see it happen.

How often are your subjects moving around like that? I have the X H2s and the AF has been fine for me since the very beginning. I had the A7iv and got rid of it and kept the Fujifilm as there is just pure joy shooting with Fujifilm. IMO the AF on the Sony was not that much better.

1. When you shut down the X-H2s the audio level will reset to auto. I do not know why THIS should be not to be expected. 2. IF one want a MANUAL setting for audio level, which is different from auto, one can set it up in audio settings (like from "auto" to "Manual +3db") and SAVE it to C1-7. Shut off and on how often you like, it will be saved. At least on mine. PS: There is a shortcut button to save C1-7, but I forgot. anything with "drive" afaik.

What lens you use

If one want´s to rely on eye AF Fuji is the wrong brand to BEGIN WITH! I am using the X-H2s and GH6 as a hobby. But if one makes money out of that and is a professional... isn´t focussing part of the job and why one chooses a pro? It isnt too long ago that one focussed manually ONLY. Even in sports. Most video productions never ever use AF. And actually nobody will ever jump left and right and back and forward. At least noone should make a video from that: What kind of well-done-film is that?
