hello sifus,

am owning a Fujifilm X100s.

Wish to seek for advice on how to utilize this beast better.

I carry it during travel or short trip for street, portrait and landscape shooting. However, I always face issue where the focus was not on the subject, causing the background to be sharp and the subject is blurred.

How to overcome this despite I have locked the shutter and the green box appeared confirming focus.

Happy New Year and many thanks for your reply!

I guess you know the focus and framing do shift a bit when pressing the shutter button, especially you are using the OVF. However the green box should give you sharp focus. I am using the first gen X100 and focusing speed is not what you want to live with, but i still get very high hit rate. Here are the thing i do

1. Set the AF point to the largest and use on the middle AF point, focus and recompose.
2. Step down aperture to f4 or 5.6, f2 is soft, no bokeh to me so dont bother shooting wide open
3. use EVF, should get a fairly high hit rate since it does not have the focus frame shifting issue here. You get same amount of shots using either OVF/EVF, experience that done that and found that using rear screen can get you more shots...

Hi there,

I think my mistakes were not to set the AF point (the box) to the largest size and always do at f2.

I will try to follow your advice in the next round.

Thanks!!

I must admit, me too always get back focusing...especially when the subject is quite a distance from the camera ( like full bodyshot) this camera will 90% backfocusing if I let random stranger to take photo of me during travelling. I really wish fujifilm provide firmware update to include face detection like the x100T...

By the way next week I'm traveling to Bangkok.. And I wish to try out an add on adapter for my x100s. But I can't decide should I go with the wcl or the tcl.. I do have a gopro with me... So I can take Ultra wide - selfie... But I didn't hear much bout the tcl ... If the focal Length really make much different than d original 35mm.. Anyone has experience with either the tcl or wcl , and can give some advice?

This is lovely .

I will go for Wide angle especially traveling.

good morning guys. im not sure if this has been discussed previously but i believe the fuji camera app is not compatible with iOS9 rite? i tried with my iOS8 device and it works fine but my iOS9.2 device says 'cant connect'. i've searched on the net but fuji has not released any updates on this matter.

is there any other way for us to connect the x-t1 via wifi if the camera app is not compatible/usable?

X-Pro2 est 7K Same applied to 100-400

wow! No thanks then, I will keep my X-T1.

Well... its rumored that X-T2 is coming in June.

No money. X-T1 will stick to me for some years more.

so many cameras in a single year? This better be not true.

I'm safe though.... not tempted by any except for the original X100
