- Today I'm working from INSIDE the camera to feel all the inner workings of the Fujifilm XT5. We test autofocus for video, performing intense tasks such as walking forward and backward. Sometimes ducking down.

Better demonstration of autofocus than I've seen on other channels. And the possibilities of making it actually work. Thanks.
You are the Jim Carrey of photography 😂
Couldn't put it any better, hilarious
Dude.... This was a great video! I love all of your videos, but this one killed. Good job on the edits. You did a really good job with backside view of the camera. Killer!
This is by far the best video for AF test. Really appreciate the transparency of the test. And lots of humor. :)
Very informative and of course, entertaining as usual.🎉
Great video, thanks for putting it together. Autofocus looks fine to me.
Totally fine
Seems pretty good to me. That terrible pulsing that my x-t2 is doing seems to be gone, and the cinematic focus looks nice and smooth. Thanks for testing!
Here my test arrangement for still photography with Fuji. Would be great if you could confirm the inconsistent focus behavior. As you mentioned muddy photos in your last video I am pretty sure that it‘s the autofocus. I have tested almost every X camera except the X-T5 and X-H cameras. Every camera had the issue of inconsistent autofocus except the 16MP Contrast AF sensor (X-T1; X-100t) and apparently the 24MP Bayer pattern sensor in the X-t100 leaving you with a hit rate of approx. 70% with some camera and lens combos.
Test arrangement:
- Modern Fuji X-Camera with X-Trans sensor and Phase detect autofocus. (e.g. X-T4, X-Pro3…)
- Place the camera on a sturdy object or use a tripod
- use a standard lens from Fuji (e.g. 23mm f2, 35mm f2) ideally stopped down two stops so you can „track“ the sharpness in your images
- activate the focusing scale in your menu so you can see the focusing inconsistency in real time
-AF-S single point (use the second smallest focusing point)
- focus on a subject in medium distance (approx. 5-10 meters) using a central focusing point
- don‘t do the test in dark indoor rooms, it seems like the problem is occurring much more often in sunny conditions outside or in bright indoor areas
- refocus/ half press the shutter button a couple of times and you will see the focusing scale jumping around significantly
Awesome Omar, thanks for doing this! Has anyone conducted a similar test on the XH2 and XH2s? Asking for a friend.
The X-H2S should track even better due to the faster readout of the stacked sensor allowing for more AF calculations per second.
The X-H2 should be identical.
Unexpected hilarity! Love it!
I just got the X-T5 as a replacement to the X-T2, and despite wanting it for photo usage, I’m loving the video capabilities. XGlad to see some others finding success on video AF, esp with the 16 and 56 considering those are the 2 lenses I use the most haha
Man plays with camera. Upload. Terrific.
Thanks!!!!!!!
Thanks Omar! I was in the House of Photography Fuji store in London and loved how the XT5 felt to hold. So, comfortable. As an Xpro2 user, I felt at home holding the camera, pretending to use it in store. Never felt like that with the XH2S - what a camera!
This was definitely the most informative and funny video for "Auto-Focus" youtube videos.
I like that you put link to fellow youtubers without being paid for it 🙌✌️❤️ you rock
I love your channel, fun and didactic.
And yes, fuji *should* reward you, you definitely convinced me to buy the xt-20 ;)
Thank you for *not* being sponsored by squarespace (it's too much on other channels , I can't hear that anymore 😅🤣)
Thank you for all from Paris 🥂
Still love my xt20! Thanks for watching
@@ogonzilla The more "new stuff" that comes out I get less and less inspired. I keep the X-T3 for higher end work along with an X100F(brown) for fun. But... I find myself wanting to go back to an X-T20. To me... the best overall camera and sensor. 🙂
@@ogonzilla thank youuuuuu !! 😍
Thanks!
Dude you're awesome. Nothing wrong with the af there.
Yea it did pretty great!
Thnx Omar !✌️
Lovely, great video to explain Fujis video AF. I watched it three times yet and will help even with older cameras. Love to see more videos like this, great fun...
And yes, now ABW I a little bit reddish on my X-T3s. Bests regards from a Venezuelan follower!
Gracias!!!
This is flat out your FUNNIEST VIDEO. @_@ Thanks for this, Omar!
Always very informative, and funny at the same time. Entertaining.
Omar, love all your videos; honest, hence helpful. But in this video, I loved all the faces you make and the role-playing! 😅
Very funny today 😂
Wonderful test of the video autofocus and recommendation re settings. Makes me feel relieved about my XT5 purchase. Please do something similar for photos and the issue re false positives.
Yea very curious about that
Was cool and fun to watch you the best omar
Thank you for putting these videos together 🤣💪💪
The video AF on the X-T5 behaves better than what I’ve seen from the H2S/H2. Hopefully Fuji releases a firmware update fixing AF and ISO (on command dial directly) on those.
funny video test ahah thank you
I was searching for video in whole you tube
The slow shift in Autofocus - "Bug flying between cam and Omar"-filter :-)
some times its not about camera anymore, you just wanna watch omar and his acts
Can I suggest that you send this video over to Matt Granger, who has no idea how to use an XT5 .....
I feel like compared to my X-E2s my X-E4 has a magenta cast in AWB (even more so when it is not sunny). And yes AWB is rather cold, which gets even more exaggerated when using the Classic Neg simulation (which I would like to use over Classic Chrome which was my go to before). Still struggling to dial in a recipe which would save me from having to edit from raw (which is basically very similar to Classic Neg but with the WB issue fixed) for more important photos like holidays or family events. The WB shift also helps only so much. For my "real" photos I edit from raw in b&w anyways.
You are the best 💝
You made my day .
Great video demo, thank you!! Wait...the XT5 has a red border for recording??? I could not find that option on the "more video centric" XH2S...I mean...WTF??!! Although I only played with it in the shop as I'm thinking to get one....
Good one
Man . I will never ever be able to afford an XT-5 but am watching thi video knowing that it will be funny. You can overcome Gabriel iglesias if you go on stage❤️❤️🤣
It might not be Sony but that’s noticeably better than the 4.
Awesome! Very helpful, and I agree, showing these tests without the cuts and edits (and crucially with the camera settings insert) makes it even more useful. Maybe in the back of our minds as people who make things we start thinking that if we haven’t added all the pizzaz we know how to add, then we are turning in something low effort and so low value? But this shows that’s not always true. Thanks, Omar. Hope you had fun making this one.
Seems to be working quite good here. I'm quite curious what's the difference between this and stills mode where the X-T5 apparently has a lot of false positives.
How do you get rid of that red square in video on the xt5??? It's melting my brain
Best auto focus test Video EVER🎉
OK! That was a cool video!
You recognized that very well. Fujifilm's automatic white balance is not really good and usually too cold. The white balance is particularly useless when it is cloudy.
Yep...I usually use "shade" or 5600K+
All fuji cameras since XT3 will track you fine, but will it focus?
AF box position doesn't seem to refresh that often in the viewfinder. Can see it trailing behind your movements. Especially at 8:40 where you swayed back/forth. Wonder if Fuji trying to conserve power or not overwhelm the processor?
I guess you'd need more specifics...but I wonder if the 40 mp would just eat up my MacBook Pro from 2015? How do you know when the MP's will be too demanding for your computer. Don't want to have to replace my computer to accommodate new camera.
So Fuji still has no tap focus? How to choose specific subject on a screen?
I have a question for the community, I just received my XT-5. I noticed the lcd is getting warm is that common. It’s my first xt, I’ve had a couple x100 series in the past and I didn’t notice it in those cameras. Thanks for the input.
Hello bro Omar. Sorry its a bit out of subject question on this video. I need a suggestion which is i am currently using R5 Canon with RF lenses but the image quality of nikon Z7 or Z6 looks much better (relatively sharp and colorful) right out of the camera. I am thinking to switch to nikon. But whats holding me back is the focus system, especially eye auto focus or in general. I was thinking to wait for Z8 to launch, see its performance and then take the leap. What do you suggest. Thank you so much. Btw your videos are always fun and learning at the same time. Keep it up man. Love from Pakistan
Fun and intuitive format of video !
Hmm. was that more of a Sony AWB style ?
Thx Omar for this awesome AF test! 😜
Do you think AF for video is clearly better than on XT4?
Catch your breath. Looks like it does pretty well.
Thanks for this excellent video Omar! How would you compare the focus ability of the xt5 vs the a7iv? Is it close enough? As a wedding photo/videographer I wondering about staying with fuji or jumping ship... Thanks for your content! Cheers
The A7IV is very hard to beat, honestly. It's using class leading AF tech from the A1 minus the stacked sensor.
The only cameras that focus as well or better cost the same (R6 and R6 II) or cost wildly more (A1, A9 and A9 II, R5, R3.) Nikon can't compete with Sony and Canon, not even the Z9.
Not to mention that it has features some of their video flagships (A7S3 and A1) lack like focus breathing compensation in video and the on screen video focal plane visualization called "Focus Map."
It is an extremely good value proposition in my opinion.
I left the Fuji system (X-T3) and moved to the A7IV and have not looked back.
@@xJasterx thanks for your insight... I believe that you are right and think that sony's camera+lens options are excellent. There are excellent native options (at high prices) and amazing and budget friendly 3rd party solutions. This is what is holding me back from going ballck to Canon... The lenses. Either they are amazing and 2k€+ or just good, nothing in the middle for the moment... There just remains on issue for my, having held the a7iv, it just doesn't make me feel as much enjoyment as the xt3... Fuji's are just fun to shoot with ☺️
It’s really interesting, as a completely uninformed consumer, to wonder whether the potential issue regarding false confirmation of eye focus for stills is based on some internal code that “tells” the AF box to turn green separately from the lens-camera system that is actually adjusting focus. In other words, is there a problem of prematurely reporting focus (green box), or is the actual focus engine unable to reliably achieve eye focus? How does the newer Fujifilm system compare, in your experience, with the Nikon system? [Touch Life Studio recently posted an interesting video about the Z9 focus and tracking system.]
video autofocus is about tracking what's in front of you. photo autofocus is about predictive algorithms. the camera can't see when the shutter closes, especially at extreme fps so the camera relies on predictions to try and compensate for the motion that can't be seen and the motion that occurs even as the shutter is closing.
In the world we need moore animals detection test like yours 🤣
Fantastically helpful, Omar, thank you, gracias! 👏🏻
What setting were you at, though? 4k, or 4k HQ? Many thanks! 🙏🏼
(I ask in case it impacts the rolling shutter, which I found acceptable here)
4KHQ
Nice!
We’re you recording your audio directly to the camera?
Thanks I was waiting for an XT5 video test like this! Curious, though.. when I pan or have quick movement in the frame, my viewfinder looks jumpier than yours at 24fps with 1/48 shutter speed. I'm wondering if I'm missing something.. for instance, what boost setting are you using?
It could be the digital ibis or ibis. ?
@@ogonzilla hmm, ibis is on (not digital) so I'll try switching it off
24 fps is naturally jumpy. however, another issue is many monitors do not adjust frame rate on the subject being viewed. many are at 60 or 120 hz refresh rates so multiples of 30 will appear smoother. 24 has to have some frames dropped, causing jerky motion.
That`s some Jim Carrey vibe going on there! :D
Thank you!! are you also going to test on photos?
fer sure!
@@ogonzilla Champion!!
Hi, I just purchased the fujifilm XT5 and have just been playing with the video mode. I have the camera on full manual but cannot seem to adjust the iso below 1000. It will adjust from iso 1000 to iso 12800. But it will not go below 1000 iso. any help would be great Cheers Michael
Love the video!!! Well done, sir!
Great video as usual Omar!
Is this camera as bulky and heavy as a Sony a7r4, or even better than the sony. How is the battery life ?
Great AF test... I'm torn as to which camera to get, coming from sony to fuji...well back again to fuji and the xh2s has everything apart from the tilt screen, but coming from using xt1,2 and 3 I kind of like how they handle...BUT XT5 has the nice tilt screen, but! 40 mp which I don't need for weddings, NO grip (WTF), and the same EVF as XT4 so do I go XT4 but that has the flippy screen and poor-ish EVF. phuuuhhh XT5 would be the one if it had a grip, an evf to rival the XH2S, and NOT 40mp which I expect will be a stop or so worse for high iso noise control
Was in the same boat too. Fuji tried to cater to two audiences but I'm stuck in the middle. Want X-T5 size/form/buttons, but with flippy-screen of the X-H2s. Gave in, about to get a X-H2 but after trying it out the AF experience was still lacking. Esp after experience Sony AF. Planning on getting the A7RV, does everything new X-H2 does but better. Plus that 4-axis tilt+flip design is awesome.
@@Battlem0nk I have an A7r4a and have never got on with it, it maybe me and the way I shoot, and can't handle the 61mp but compared to my A9II its average, it may have more MP, but that is where I think that is the issue, Having owned the A7r3 as well that was a great image, every shot wowed me, my A7r4a has never wowed me, not once, it has around 1000 image on it and just pull out the A9II and that gets it done. BUT I want a system I enjoy using, the sony is clinical and stale and gets results but the big glass, etc makes me not want to do anything with it apart from the day job.
@@karlbratby4349 don't get how a A7R3 image wow you but A7R4a doesn't. Image quality that different?
@@Battlem0nk, in all honesty, NO idea, every image out of the R3 was spot on, sharp as a tack etc, almost every image out of the R4a is not quite there, upped the shutter speed see if that is causing an issue with the amount of MP but no difference, had sony check it, working to the parameters... Maybe I've got a dud but it makes me question WTF am I doing wrong.
Any insight on whether the af for the 56mm f1.2 v1 is faster on the xt5?
Fast enough for wedding work?
Nice. Was the rolling shutter shot in 4K 6.2k oversampled, or 4K not oversampled mode?
4kHQ mode
If UA-cam had hahaha button, I would give you a thousand.
i am planning to get this or xt4. Tiltable screen is really important for me for videos. What do you suggest
XT4 for that tilt screen!
You seem more like an X-H2 guy to me, because of the Feel, Grip options, Headphone Jack, Full Sized HDMI, better Viewfinder Resolution, 8K Video - I mean these features seem to be a lot to give up just to save $300 dollars. But I guess if someone uses small but refined lenses often and does mainly stills, it would be a nice compact option. Otherwise it's attractive until I realize that for just $300 more dollars I can get an X-H2.
I'll have you know I got the xt5. All those things you said are true and probably a great reason to get the X-H2, but honestly, the feel of the xt5 in my hands feels like home. It makes me want to grab the camera and go out and shoot. The size and feel of the camera beat out all the factors you just listed. At the end of the day the camera that makes you want to shoot is the best camera for you.
@@Akiraly14 You're exactly right. One other thing I didn't consider was that many may also like the separate retro dials instead of the PASM interface, but each has it's own advantages different people prefer more. There's always going to be differences, and I think Fuji is wisely treating product offerings like a business as they should, so they adjust certain features and price point. If they ever make a Stacked version of the 40MP X-Trans Sensor later on, then some of us will be looking for that next big thing again.
It can be a fair bit more if you decide to pay out for a CF Express card on the X-H2. Something to factor in maybe.
I had the x-t3 for years and now I’m using the x-h2 and I don’t regret my choice. When Fuji annonced their pasm decision for the x-h’s, I was 100% that I will never buy this BUT I tried the 2 x-h’s and I changed my mind! Why? The viewfinder! The grip!!! The custom modes (you need to spend sometimes before you have all the 7 modes cooked as you like). I think the learning curve with the x-h’s is a little be longer than the one with the x-t5.
Oh yeah a mix of Gremlins or Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde...scary
What are you using to see yourself in this video?
I think he's using a monitor on top of the camera body (based on his eye movement which was above the camera position).
vertical video got me 🤣🤣
Hey, I've got a question for you. Im having a XH2S. And talking of auto-focus, Im having hard time focusing my son in Karate Tournament. There is a crowd behind and If im using the face/eye detection and doing some 40ips photos, they focus is always out of the subject. It jump from my son to the crowd, to my son, to the crowd. Is there a way to say that focus is from 0 to 6 feets ? Thanks
I've found the AF limit mode, but, it work only when there is no subject detection. I hope this could be in a futur firmware update.
Does your family every accidentally pop in while you’re recording 😂
I really hope his family doesn't "poop" in but Omar is from New Jersey so all bets are off.
I only record when the house is empty lol
@@ogonzilla oh, I was going to say between midnight and 6 am LOL
@@ogonzilla if you make faces at the camera often, I can see why lol imagine having your kids walk in when you got your ears pulled out at the camera
Welcome to Omar's house of horrors -- so much fun!
Excellent, it seems to work even for aliens!😄
On my xt4 I feel it is pushing yellows on auto wb
Interesting
Hilarious 😂😂😂😂
Animal detection is the best. 😂
Awfully noisy at ISO 800 and above
Animal detection 😂

If your children and wife see you jump around testing AF, what will they think?😂😂😂😂😂😂
They know me lol
Expose your face, not your bush!
Ur weird bro....JK, nice video. the new Fuji AF does a pretty decent job in this scenario
It did great. Thanks!
You look healthy, not red
I’ll take that.
Haha, you’re hilarious, I love you ❤
But what’s the point of this slow focus? It looks great at max speed.
Yes. I actually preferred the level 5 for this.
