This is WAY off topic, but since I know you use Davinci I thought I would ask you a question about it here. Is davinic web based? meaning if I have davinci on two different computers and add a LUT on one computer will it be automatically added to the second computer? FCP doesn't do this (although most other apple software does) and it drives me absolutely CRAZY
As I understand it, Davinci Resolve is a local install on your computer so anything you do on one will not transfer to the other. They do offer a cloud sync option, but you have to pay for it and it's pretty expensive (geared toward professionals). When you open up the app, the only thing it checks is that your license if valid. I wish I had better news...
It would help a lot to know what lens you're using. Just watched a video from someone who swore off Fujifilm because the new firmware was not much better than the last. But he only showed a test using a Sigma lens. I didn't know if it was the camera's fault or the lens.
it looks pretty good. The problem I've had with fuji AF is tracking a moving subject in photo mode and false positives. I'm sure there will be many tests posted to UA-cam shortly. Hopefully they get it right!
Initial impressions is that it's improved, not perfect. Still pretty far from Sony, but a step in the right direction. I've been using it well within it's limits and not pushing it at all. For that, I'll just grab one of the Sony's.
Are you trying to add the firmware via an SD card or via the Xapp? The app is probably the better as you don’t have to jump through hoops to get it onto the camera. Make sure the app is up to date first. 🏴 You shouldn’t get a file corruption with the app.
I haven't run into any issues. I just downloaded it to my SD card and updated it on the camera itself. Did the same with my X100VI and it worked great. Have you tried formatting the SD card? Sorry I can't be more helpful.
I have the new 16-55 lens and all of a sudden the aperture ring stops working ... my fstop isn't changing when i move the ring around ... i'm forced to put the camera in command mode to adjust the aperture ... is anyone have the same issue ... and what should i do?
The only thing I've experienced is that the de-click aperture switch has gotten a little stuck and gave me some issues. I was able to position it in the off position and that fixed it. Other than that, I haven't had any issues with the lens. Hope yours is an easy fix and not defective.
My copy does not have the issues. But I do feel the new lens have inferior built quality even comparing to my 16-80 F4. You should try on another body if you have one. If not, return or exchange.
Have you tried it in AF-C and shooting stills with eye (or animal eye) detect? I'm very interested to know if the hit rate (i.e eye in focus) has improved over the previous firmware.
I've been out twice in London with the new X-T5 firmware, just taking pics of cyclists, moving cars, crowds etc to test its AF-C autofocus accuracy. With the Fuji 33mm f1.4 lens. Both times in overcast daylight. I must say it seems very good! Quite sticky, even. My settings include 'focus priority', AF-MF switched off (only because a couple of people online, probably wrongly, claim is switches focus priority back to shutter priority), and the 'cheetah' tracking setting in the custom autofocus menu.
It does indeed feel a bit snappier and stickier. I was just walking around my neighborhood in a snow storm and it was performing quite well. I use my Fuji's almost exclusively for stills and shoot in AF-S most of the time, so the AF hunting hasn't been much of an issue for me. Knowing that I can flip it over to video if decide to do so, opens up other possibilities. Thx for adding to the discussion!
AF + MF indeed forces release priority, regardless of what you set there. I can't say much about AF for stills, but for video it is pretty bad so far with any kind of movement.
This is more geared toward video, not stills. Having reliable AF is critical when filming oneself since it's impossible to pull focus while in front of the camera.
I did this as more of a first impressions for how the VAST MAJORITY of people use their cameras. I have other cameras that I use when I need faster and more reliable AF. But for talking head and product showcase type of stuff, this new firmware looks like a significant improvement.
@@jaegerschtulmann other than portraits where people are still, its still a case of zone or single point AFC. My Fuji gear is getting sold in the New Year. It’s not acceptable anymore that they can’t get to their competitors standards.
I too may be jumping ship early next year… love my X100VI & X-T5 but I had to get my X100VI repaired after owning it a few months and they replaced major parts, so much so that it registered as a new camera in the Xapp… and I love the image quality of the Fuji’s! 🏴
It‘s obviously difficult to accept improvement which may be sufficient for many people, but not on the level of the market leader. Good for the majority of users.
All cameras have their strengths and weakness, I tried Sony but disliked the menu experience. I enjoy my Fujifilm XT 5 and the autofocus if fine for my needs.
As a wedding photographer the focus on fujis is not at all a problem. I'm happy to be shooting a camera that I enjoy. I've gotten to use my friends sony and it just doesn't hit the same
It's not as good as Sony, nor do I claim it to be. But it is quite a bit better that before so that's a welcome improvement. I have lots of Sony gear as well that I use for different purposes - I enjoy them all!!

@@RandumbTech bummer..thanks for the info!

This test was done using the new Fuji 16-55 mk ii lens. It has Fuji's latest and greatest in terms of AF.
@@RandumbTech Thanks so much.
Thank you for review the update firmware.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Hello
this morning trying to update fuji xt-5 update
Got Error 'firmware file is corrupted' ???
Are you trying to add the firmware via an SD card or via the Xapp? The app is probably the better as you don’t have to jump through hoops to get it onto the camera. Make sure the app is up to date first. 🏴

@@macjim thanks for the reply
no, just standard old skul pc to SDcard transfer :)
I haven't run into any issues. I just downloaded it to my SD card and updated it on the camera itself. Did the same with my X100VI and it worked great. Have you tried formatting the SD card? Sorry I can't be more helpful.
It is definitely better than before
Before means the previous firmware which broke the AF? In other words, it nearly fixed the problem it was not supposed to be there?
I have the new 16-55 lens and all of a sudden the aperture ring stops working ... my fstop isn't changing when i move the ring around ... i'm forced to put the camera in command mode to adjust the aperture ... is anyone have the same issue ... and what should i do?

I haven't tried AF-C yet so I can't comment. Hopefully someone else can chime in and share their experience.

People worry about absolutely anything these days. The old photographers just took quality photos, with manual focus.
If we wanted manual focus, we would've bought an actual film camera and not 2000$ on a camera that can't even autofocus
This is more geared toward video, not stills. Having reliable AF is critical when filming oneself since it's impossible to pull focus while in front of the camera.
@@Bigthebombcan’t agree more. Why Fuji for Manual focus.
you call this a test? do real situations outside
I did this as more of a first impressions for how the VAST MAJORITY of people use their cameras. I have other cameras that I use when I need faster and more reliable AF. But for talking head and product showcase type of stuff, this new firmware looks like a significant improvement.
Its better but is way off Sony AF, why can’t Fuji compete?
Likely patents and incompetence. They are too conservative

@@willgreig8912 yeah same here I am done with Fuji. And if I ever need to shoot medium format I will go Hasselblad

Ils n'ont pas recrutés les bons ingénieurs
still not as good as sony

I don't think Fuji aims to be like Sony or even better than Sony. If you favor Sony AF then go with that.
