«As a Fuji user, that smooth autofocus on the BM6k makes me cry.» «I sold my X-H2s and all the lenses a few months ago to get BMD Cinema 6K, and I never looked back since.» source «The most significant thing about all this, as you pointed out in the video, is that Blackmagic is essentially giving autofocus to all of us who already bought their camera, instead of releasing a Blackmagic 6K Full Frame Pro with autofocus just to make us open our wallets again. They may be losing money in the short term, but in my view they are gaining in the long term, because the trust the brand inspires is truly remarkable.» source Disclaimer: Happy camper as Blackmagic shooter over here! Looks like I am not alone... - EAG :- ) -
Went grave digging for the Fujifilm X-H2s thread. How is everyone doing with theirs and the current firmware level? I still feel like video autofocus is ass in continuous autofocus, either multi or wide/tracking. I have it randomly pulsing in an interview setting when the subject turns their head, camera maybe 1 meter away on a 16mm (AF-C, tracking with Left Eye AF on). Recently shot running content, camera on a tripod next to the street with a 56mm telephoto lens. Empty street, one runner coming into the frame, camera never detected him and never adjusted focus (tried multi and tracking, had face detect on, eye off). Personally I feel like this camera really damaged my brand perception of Fujifilm. They completely destroyed the autofocus function in firmware, then took a long time and multiple firmware updates to get it back to where it started, and ended up still worse than pretty much all competitors. This is a flagship model with price on par to many full frame cameras (it's currently 2899 USD) and they just completely gave up on the user base and moved on to releasing a whole bunch of other models with the 40mp sensor instead of working on fixing their existing models. They never gave it any real additions in firmware besides FLog2C; no anamorphic de-squeeze, no custom frame markers, no waveform, etc. This camera could have been absolutely amazing, it still has outstanding image quality and rolling shutter, but Fujifilm completely refocused towards vibes, FilmSim-dials and TikTok/Influencer attention. I have an X-M5 as an EDC camera and to be honest, expect for the IBIS, nothing about the X-H2s makes me feel like it performs noticeably better. -

I don't quite understand what the problem is. Metadata giving instructions for interpreting the exposure (such as a "soft" ISO setting which does not actually affect the stored image data) can work for proprietary formats such as raw video but is there a similar option for non-raw video formats in any camera? If the video is to be used "as is", with minimal editing, all the major editing and playback software would need to know what to do with the data and the instructions that come in the metadata. If the file is meant to be always edited (as in log video) then it may make some sense to offer this as an option but the user always has the option of using just one of the base ISOs in the camera if they so wish, so I'm not sure what added value there is from having a separate brightness adjustment; just to see the image better? The problem is that by doing that you likely become disconnected from how much exposure latitude you have in either direction as the brightness of the image shown is just an adjusted brightness for viewing pleasure and does not reflect the actual exposure or values stored in the file. To compensate for this loss of visual connection between what is shown on the screen and the actual position of the values stored then would require additional exposure monitoring tools, such as colors indicating how many stops you are from saturation at each point of the image, and this then can lead to screen clutter in a small camera with a small screen. The Nikon ZR, as far as I've understood, does offer such an option by choosing R3D recording: the camera lets you choose one of two base ISOs and then adjust the brightness using the ISO sensitivity adjustment which does not affect the stored data. I already see people asking Nikon to add "traffic lights" for monitoring to help deal with the disconnect. Does the ZR waveform display reflect only the actual stored values or is the brightness adjustment or ISO sensitivity also affect the waveform? -

As Doctorow said, Europe could also finally remove anti-circumvention laws since one of the only reasons to implement them in the first place was to avoid tariffs from the US.
