I swear with AF-C in video this lens carries on hunting after locking focus a lot more than my 23 and 35. Can I ask how you're setting up AF-C in your menus?

jonpais Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Sorry I can't help, since I don't own the kit lens. I'm trying to stop myself from getting the 50-140mm f/2.8. Just a note on vlogging with the X-T2: Vloggers may decide to go with one of the Panasonic cameras, such as the G85, because it has a fully articulating LCD screen. And though the Fuji does not have a swivel screen, with the Fujifilm camera remote app, you can view yourself, start and stop video recording, adjust white balance, change ISO settings and shutter speed and even choose between the different film simulation modes. And while the Fuji doesn't have face recognition in 4K mode like the Panasonic, its continuous focusing capabilities are much faster and more accurate than the G85. Finally, from a few feet away, I have difficulty seeing the screen on the Panasonic anyway, and having my iPod nearby, I can see what the Fuji is shooting much more easily.

I'm using 91 AF points, whatever I have the focus box on stays locked pretty well with the 18-55. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question.. are there any limitations of the Fuji Remote App? For example, the Sony app allowed you to remote view and start/stop but you couldn't use SLog. The Samsung NX App would always reset to Standard profile and screw up your custom adjustments. Does it allow touch focus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very disappointing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liork Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 The camera records only 720p while using the Android app? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that, but when using the app, the LCD goes black and none of the dials work. So if you mistakenly had exposure compensation on, you can't change it in the app or on the camera either. So, you have to disconnect, make the change and relaunch the app again! It's funny isn't it? I mean how professional reviewers get to spend two weeks with the camera from B&H, but we discover this stuff after only a couple of days with the camera.

Reviewers who've used hundreds of different lenses say Fuji are second only to Voigtlander and Zeiss in build quality. I don't think there's a mediocre lens in their entire lineup of 20-30. I just picked up the 35mm f/2 and 50-140mm f/2.8 this evening. Can't wait to play with them tomorrow. Meanwhile, I'm working on yet another two-minute field test, this time of the humungous, heavy, overpriced and lovely 16-55mm f/2.8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liork Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Its realy ashame that the 16-55 does not have IS. We would have forgiven Fuji for not putting ibis in the camera... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonpais Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I thought Astia Soft was supposed to be soft: but it looks kind of like when I used to process Ektachrome; rich colors and high contrast - but over or underexpose by as much as 1/2 stop and either the highlights are blown out or the shadows are crushed. Tomorrow, I'll try shooting with boosted shadows and highlights turned down a notch and see if that helps any. Also, although I turned in-camera sharpening all the way down to -4, the image looks over-sharpened to my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonmillard81 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Maybe shoot 1080 and boost sharpening a little then compare to 4k with -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm beginning to think that's the best profile to use. Stanley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
