    Update 2: it seems the new 30mm lens from Fujifilm (that is sold as a kit lens with X-T5) doesn't know EYE-AF TO WELL, I did a new test with multiple lenses and I'll post my updated video with the new firmware. Short story it will work as 2.0 eye AF but faster in AF-S.
    Update 1: I have here pictures with ISO 10000+ with firmware 2.0 on x-t5 ua-cam.com/video/4iZjwXMoUHo/v-deo.html
    And the results were very good in extreme low light - no problems like this time.
    INITIAL: Before commenting regarding the ISO. Yes, I was wrong. I must shoot in bright sunny days at f1.4 because no camera in the world can focus with eye-af at ISO 6400... SLOW MOVING SUBJECTS... EVER. (just my Sony and a few other cameras 😅).

      Tudor, I did a similar test, the ratio was inferior on XH2 using a 30mm 2.8 lens. Then I got a 27 1.2 lens and the older 35mm 1.4 lens in both cases, my ratio was 100% in focus. NAILED! What is my conclusion? The EV the camera was achieved in poor light conditions. That's my opinion about that and this has nothing to do with the new firmware.

    I seem to be on the opposite side. My X-T5 had the behaviour you're showing. I had one event with awesome pictures. When I got home I got shocked. More than 50% of the photographs were not in focus! With firmware 4.0 it is locking a lot better. In fact, I would say it is slower to show confirmation but then it is more reliable. I still need to do more testing but many things are better. I was also having a lot more issues before with stabilization for ex. not working when on "shooting mode", now it works!
    Everybody stated the problem was with eye autofocus. I was having problems without it selected also. I can still replicate the autofocus drift but it is much improved, very much. Is it all corrected? Of course not. This is the way since the X-T1. When the X-T2 showed... the same. Better camera but still left a lot to desire concerning focus. Then X-T3... everyone saying, much faster, bla bla bla.... and all was the same. X-T4.. now we have it! and boom, exposure shifting autofocus like Panasonic DFD... We seem to be left with the promise things will get better with firmware...
    I really like the system and colors. But I also use other brands. This is 2024.
    They will announce the X-T6 or X-H3S once again... Sony like autofocus!! I keep dreaming.
    Yes you are using very high ISO (for the system) and it makes it a little difficult. But I have to agree. My old Sony A7III was free of these stresses. Did it fail to acquire focus? YES.. but it was very rare. Canon very similar. No difficult settings. You buy the camera, set eye tracking or not and that is 90% set.
    We need channels like yours to be pushing companies and exposing these faults. We are dealing with expensive toys that are sold because of false advertising.

    Hi Tudor, to be fair, a good test outdoors in lower ISO may be nice. However, the problem is still there. I shoot events, street and wildlife. I have not had many problems using my X-H2S during events but what I am seeing in addition to random missed focus are poor IQ in higher ISO. I'm going to sell my X-H2S and some lenses, keep my XT30II and smaller lenses for street only...maybe. I might sell it all. I'm becoming enamored with my Zf and thinking of returning to Nikon with the Z6iii. I hope I don't regret it.

  • @SummersSnaps

    I do event work with the XH2S, I do notice eye AF struggle at very high ISO's like what you demonstrated here. I do not have any experience with other systems eye AF reliability, but I would just like to interject that the outcomes vary massively based on ISO from my own working experience (and most videos out there discussing eye AF tend to not have 8000-10000 ISO shots as a default discussion point).

    XT-5 in AFC and bird mode. Over 600 shots in AFC, maybe couple are in focus, despite the fact, that during shooting green squares were indicating correct positions of focus on eyes. Even on still standing birds. At the same time, AFS works fine, as expected. Actually I was very supersized, because during shooting it looked as it nailed (because of green squares).

I thought to Sony (a7 cr or so) - but the new Nikon looks attractive, too. p.s.

      Let's say it has AF :-) I was so happy with the X-T3 that I 'upgraded' to the X-T5. Big mistake !

    With every new firmware update Fujifilm is loosing a substantial portion of their loyal users. Me included. It's crystal they desperately need help to make their Auto Focus on par with the current camera brands available at this time.
    I've been a loyal Fujifilm user for over 10 years now, but I'm finally on the fence of purchasing a full-frame camera again. And I will probably sell all of my Fujifilm gear that I gathered over the years. Including X-T4, X-T5, X-H2S and X-E4 with just about every XF lens existing to date.
    I'm just done and tired of their major incapability to progress.
    They forced me to switch brands and I'm now looking to go back to either Nikon or Leica. Also strongly consider Sony ad well.

    Someone rushed to make a quick video about the new firmware update to jump on the Blurryfilm bandwagon...
    We look forward to seeing your next video once you have calmed down. You might consider making a new video with a more thorough test. Please use a sensible ISO and let us know the camera's follow settings:
    Lens / Focal length
    ISO - Speed - Aperture
    Focus area: Single, Zone or Tracking
    AF-C Custom settings: Set 1 to 5 or custom
    Boost mode is OFF
    Disable IBIS when camera is on tripod
    I can't risk using Eye/Subject Detection with my X-H2 at work because my focus hit rate is 80%, which isn't good enough. This percentage is what I would expect from a serious test. I don't want to offend you, but your hit rate of 10% must be largely due to human error.

    I get it, you want to be out there first talkinh about firmware 4. I trust that you are an experienced photographer and not just a youtuber which means you would at least know that xt5 @6400 iso is a bit strange number to use for testing AF. 😁 Anyway, i would be very shock if all your findings are true. Fujifilm is not the best in AF department which is why i have a canon system when reliability and accuracy are impt to me. But surely, they would not risk releasing another firmware that's worse the the previous version. You sound very unhappy with your Fuji so why not sell it and just pick the right tool that will make you happy? Life is short, not worth getting a heart attack from firmware 4 upgrade! 😂 Take a chill pill, and if you still have lots of free time to burn (lucky you), give it another test. And oh, i always use my fuji camera almost permanently on af-M with vintage lenses. You reckon the firmware 4 will help me getting better pics with my takumars?
