I still can't convince the camera to focus on the eyes, but the light was pretty low so I'll give it a "pass" on this one.
Nice image with great feather details. Did it give you the little green box over the eye?
It always does... regardless of where it actually decides to focus.
Fuji's subject recognition algorithms obviously work - now they just need to get that AI to communicate a little more consistently with the AF system.
Yeah I think in closer shots where you have high detail and thin DoF it makes the slight misses more noticeable.
I was playing with the XT5 recently and it seems to have improved a lot from my XT3, picked out an eagle from partially obstructed behind and island and kept with it. A work in progress but at least with the ML/AI tech it's doing training with tons of data that improves it so if it's a software issue the tech will improve. This also explains why Sony is keeping the lead as things improve as well. They were at it first.
Last night I discovered a problem with my 100-400 zoom which may have been causing at least some of my AF problems. I rarely ever take that lens off the camera (I bought it with the X-H2S and it was my only Fuji lens until last week) but had always noticed a little bit of play in the lens mount. I had the lens and camera on a tripod for the first time last night, and that made the play in the lens mount a lot more noticeable, and I subsequently discovered that two of the four screws holding the mounting flange to the lens housing were literally falling out, and the other two were very loose - essentially giving me a 400mm tilt lens...
Now that the problem has been rectified, I need to go out and do a bunch more shooting to see if that has fixed my AF issues.
I was surprised that a brand new lens would have an issue like this, but I guess something got overlooked on the assembly line. Time to go and check all the rest of my lenses...
