Same question if anyone can help, I appreciate it.

Equipment: Fuji XT4, FX50-140mmF2.8 lense

Settings are AUTO

pictures taken at a high continuous shooting at RAW quality and the images are blurry and seems out of focus.

I would suggest:

  • Under these kinds of low light conditions, keep aperture (ring on the lens itself) at as low of a number as possible to let more light in (f2.8 or a little higher. Maybe no higher than 5.6).
  • Set your ISO dial to "A" for Auto. Under the "Shooting Setting" page (icon looks like a camera), go to "ISO" and set to AUTO 1, where your AUTO 1 settings are: DEFAULT SENSITIVITY 160, MAX SENSITIVITY 6400 (or even 12800 if you don't mind a little noise in the photo), and MIN SHUTTER SPEED is AUTO.
  • As already mentioned by another poster, set the shutter speed dial to "250" or higher. For this kind of action, I'd try around 800 or 1,000. If the result is too dark, drop the shutter speed value down until you don't get motion blur and the image is properly exposed (bright enough). Note: After you've set the shutter speed on the rotary dial, you can use the front or rear scroll wheel (I'm not sure which, but most likely it is the rear thumb wheel) on your camera to fine tune the shutter speed value.

I hope this helps.
