Fujifilm menu autofocus settings can make using the camera's autofocus (on the XT4, XT3, XT2, and other Fuji cameras) easier to use and manage. The most important autofocus setting I think is the AF-ON. If you've not yet tried that out for Back Button Focus, give it a go and see if it helps to improve your photography.

@kylecouture1917 Год назад

This just made my life a whole lot easier. Using the AF On button to hold focus is a game changer. Now I dont have to use the little analog stick to change where my single point focus square is. I can just get my target in the middle of the frame, his AF On and then position the object where I want it to be in the frame before taking my shot. This saves a lot of time. Thank You

@remco2777 3 года назад

Great tip! But I would recommend not switching AF-S shutter focus off, but instead just let the camera live in manual focus all the time and focus with the back button. That way you have both options at your fingertips: if you need the shutter to focus, you just toggle the focus switch from M to S. Particularly handy in situations where you need to give the camera to someone else to take a picture and everything needs to be as automatic as possible.

@garethmcfarland7244 3 года назад

Yep totally agree.

@nigelblanchard5571 3 года назад

Sorry to ask this but I am newbie and AF-S focus off? Are you talking about the Focus Mode Selector or a menu setting could you explain a little more in simpler terms as I am struggling getting to grips with this tip? I have zoom focus issue appearing all the time when selector is in M setting ie the little sub focus area in the main screen

@remco2777 3 года назад

@@nigelblanchard5571 I am talking about the menu setting. In the video Chris suggests to go into the menu and switch your shutter focus off for AF-S. That way your shutter stops focussing when you half press it. On the back of the camera there is an AF-ON button. That AF-ON will auto-focus, even if the camera is in manual mode with the switch on the front of the camera. Chris points this out in the video too. Often people refer to this method of focussing as "back-button focussing". My suggestion is not to follow Chris' suggestion for switching the shutter focus for AF-S off in the menu, because then the shutter focussing behaves the same when the focus switch is set to M as set to S. If you don't switch shutter focus off in the menu then your camera will still focus when half-pressing the shutter if in S, but not do this when you are in M. Your zoom focus sub area will not appear if you press your AF-ON button when the selector is in M. It only appears when you change the focus using the zoom ring on your lens.

@johnmontgomery9699 3 года назад

Your videos are SO HELPFUL! And so timely! I was out shooting landscapes the day before I watched this video and discovered (after about a dozen shots) that I had inadvertently hit the AF-L button and locked the focus. Fortunately, I caught this pretty quickly, but it could have led to some disappointing results. Your videos have taught me so much about my XT-3, and they are definitely helping me to enjoy the camera and get the most out of it. Thank you!

@JohnChubbSr 3 года назад

This really clears up questions about the AFs. My X-T3 is already set to the back button focus and has been working beautifully. Hopefully, I won't mess things up by trying this out as well. Thanks for this video, excellent!

@Mowikan 3 года назад

Pal, you keep reading my mind. I was playing with the back button option this week. I find it to work out fantastic because you can quickly require focus and lock it there. I didn't know you could turn off the shutter button. That's a great tip. The back button option makes shooting my xs-10 a joy now. Great job!

Great video as always Chris!!! I've been using AF-ON + disable shutter autofocus for more than a year and I love that configuration. I use Fn2 (front button controlled by my middle finger) for AF-ON because I have a thumb grip on my XT4 and I like to keep my thumb on it for a more stable grip. Another benefit of this setup is that I give my middle finger an honest job 😉.

I’ve got the AF-L set to AF-On because I think you mentioned previously; the advantage of this over how it works on Other cameras is you can have both; half-press to focus like normal, or by switching the front to Manual, you have full back-button focusing. So no need to switch half-press focusing off, you just turn the front switch to Manual. Best of both worlds.

Best video dedicated to focus on a Fuji and explaining the back button focus. Straight to the point. Decoupling the shutter button from the AF half press is a good idea when using AF lenses that don't have a clutch focus ring (or AF MF switch). When using a fully manual lens or a clutch one, and if the SMC selector is on M the half press just doesn't work and it's a good point. Also for the back button to take over when manually focusing on an AF lens (with or without clutch) I think the AF+MF setting must be ON. I wish Fuji makes a separate AFL AEL back button on the next X-PRO4.

@_noahrh 2 года назад

Thank you for posting this video! I just switched over to Fuji from Canon and the one area I’m having a tough time figuring out is the auto focus. On my Canon, if I pointed my camera at any scene on auto focus and half pressed the shutter it would guess and auto focus at a certain single point of the scene. If I didn’t want that point to be the focus I could just tap the screen to readjust to a different point. I understand you can move the focus point and tap to adjust on Fuji, but I am having a hard time figuring out on single point focus how to get it to “guess” where the auto focus should be first. If I am on autofocus I would think I should be able to aim my camera at a baseball bat, and it auto select to focus at the tip of the bat, but if I wanted it to instead focus on the handle, I should be able to tap the handle to refocus there. The only mode that seems to guess the focus is Wide on Fuji, but I can’t then tap on a specific part of the scene to focus on that instead. Could you please explain how to achieve that? It seems fairly simple to me but written out sounds a lot more complicated! Thanks for all your help!
