X-T100 operating issues ?

H1brid · Mar 23, 2019

I tested the focus issue with the 27mm today, got the same results when using single point focus.

When using auto focus the point was out of focus , and when manually adjusting it was sharp as a tack.

After switching to zone focus it seemed to be much better.

I'll try to test the same behavior with zone focus on the 15-45 to see if I can reproduce the results I got on the 27mm.

Ps: I know the lens is good as I used it on my previous X-E2 without issues.

It seems I was just lucky when it focused properly.

It seems to just miss when using any type of autofocus quite a lot. Regardless of the lens which I use or the AF mode.

Does anyone else have these issues, or did I get a lemon?

I found a review on pocket lint complaining of similar issues.

What is your history of using mirrorless cameras, ie is this your first. I have been using milc for 10years now and the x-t100 is as good if not better than my G9, I still haven’t decided if it’s better than my X-h1, although as a camera the x-h1 is a real class camera too. What are you shooting and how that creates miss focus?

If you are implying a user issue then it is not the case. Had a NEX-6 for a few years, and for the last 3 years I had an X-E2, no issues.

We're talking about your general vacation photos, along with the occasional landscape shot.

Didn't have so many misses with my X-E2. In fact, I never noticed it to have a focus problem.

I used a 18-55 zoom on my X-T100 with no issues, so long as I had it in Single autofocus (not continuous) and the focus area was very small (you can choose what size it is, and this just increases the chances it will focus on something that is not the actual subject that you really want).

Single-point focus mode instead of zone focus, see manual page 71.

Single AF mode see manual page 69.

Focus area selection, see manual pages 73, 74, 75. Select the smallest area.

Focus priority, see manual page 103. If you set it to "Focus" the shutter will not release until focus has been achieved. This might slow down the camera a lot, but you might get a lot more shots that are actually in focus. If you set it to "Release" the shutter will go off when you want it, focused or not. Maybe this setting is tripping you up.

I'm sorry I can't give you any real advice on this. I shoot manual non-electronic lenses mostly, so I don't have significant experience with autofocus or autofocus issues. The X-T100 supports manual focus really well, I think.

Hello Tom,

I'll check those manual pages. I believe I have a few things already setup like that, but it never hurts to double check.

Amazon is sending me a replacement free of charge in a few days as well, so I'll have a chance to compare.

New unit seems to behave the same.

What settings do you use for sharpness/noise reduction?

0 sharp or -1, -2 noise!

0 sharp or -1, -2 noise!

I use 0 or -1 for sharpness, and -2 (or whatever is the minimum amount) for noise reduction, since noise reduction almost always reduces sharpness. When in doubt, a little grain or noise is much preferred to loss of detail.

I also stay very still when releasing the shutter, even when shutter speed is fast.

I also shoot Raw+JPG, so I can fine tune later if I want. I consider raw vital for this.

H1brid seems to be having bad luck with Fujis. Maybe Fuji is in need of his help in product development! No I'm not kidding; many other users have no problems but H1brid does, so there is something about how he shoots that is unique.

H1brid · Mar 28, 2019

Tom, no need for mockery, I'm shooting no different than I did with my X-E2. That's why I asked about settings help, since it seemed odd to me for a Fuji to dissapoint me.

I've noticed that when the pictures do come out the way they should, they do look like on my X-E2.

Anyway, I'll try fiddling the settings, maybe that's why the pictures don't look right to me.

Had a bit more time today to play with settings, seems it was mostly the stupidly high noise reduction (I had it on 0).

With the new body with NR -2 I'm getting similar results to my old X-E2, which makes me happy.

Thanks for the help.

PS: Tried the same settings on the old body, seems I did get sort of a lemon, as the majority of samples looked worse than similar pics taken with the replacement body.

Last is complete freeze, and even turning the camera off does nothing. I need to take out battery to reset.

I had a camera from Sigma that did this. Other users had it too. It ended up being fixed with a firmware update.

Problem here is that it seems most users don't have this happening. I think you are right: there was something wrong with the camera.

And, thanks for your detailed report. Maybe Fuji will read this thread sometime.

Tom, sorry to drag up an old thread but maybe you can help me?

I'm trying to use the FlashQ Q20II on my X-T100. The X-T100 does not seem to know the flash is connected to the camera (no flash icon appears on the EVF). My Nissin flash works as expected on the camera, no problems. And the FlashQ works perfectly on my GR II.

I emailed the manufacturer who keeps sending me screenshots of the flash setup menu from other Fuji cameras that aren't in the X-T100 menu system.

I'm out of ideas. Any help appreciated.

I`ve just got my XT100 and it`s not firing my Manual flash off the shoe (it`s a single contact modern Yongnuo one) , works fine on the XE1 - any ideas ?

I`m in Single drive mode - Mechanical shutter - Single shot mode - it`s not in "Silent" mode - the popup works fine

Thanks

I’ve been dealing with a similar issue all week. My X-T100 works properly with my Nissin TTL flash, but not with my new FlashQ wireless system. But the FlashQ works perfectly with my GR II.

The good news is I figured out a solution: the X-T100 needs to be set to commander mode in flash settings before it will fire an external manual flash. All works well, I hope this works for you,

BTW, the FlashQ is incredible for a small flash. I can fire 3 off-camera flashes (or more) with the tiny transmitter mounted on the hot shoe. Much fun!

Thanks a lot

How totally BIZARRE is that !!

Superb camera - really is like a pocket D7200 image quality wise .. All the laggy stuff goes when FW V2 is loaded and high performance mode engaged , with V1 out of the box it indeed did feel as sluggish as my XE1

Glad to hear you are doing better with the replacement body. Looks like you identified a real problem with the previous body.

No mockery intended.

Sorry, I only use the EF-42 Fuji flash and don't have other flashes to try.

Are you only looking at your pictures at 300%? I Just don't understand how you would see such differences between a X-E2 and a X-t100. I have a X-e3 and a x-t100, and if anything the X-T100 pics look cleaner and more detailed. (with default settings )

I own/use an X-E2 and X-T100. I'm very happy with the X-E2 but the X-T100 is a noticeable upgrade in every way. It has a much better build quality, wonderful LCD screen, and better IQ. The ability to develope Bayer RAW files without artifacts in any software has relegated my X-E2 to the shelf.

There must be a lot of copy variation in these cameras.
