Hier scheint die Fuji definitiv viel näher fokussiert zu sein ( sieht aber immer noch besser aus als die Lumix, im Allgemeinen, IMO. Wie genau fokussieren Sie sich? Bei all meinen Fujis lege ich die AF-S Single-Point-AF-Box dorthin, wo ich den Fokuspunkt haben möchte, und drücke den Auslöser vollständig - kein halbes Drücken zuerst, kein Warten auf eine grüne Box oder einen Piepton. Drücken Sie einfach den Knopf ganz nach unten - verpasst nie. Ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass die X-T5 anders funktionieren würde.

The focuspoint is is exactly in the miden and the Lumix focus is right. Sorry to wait for a green field is not wrong. Every Fuji then i used (X-E3, X-T3, X-H1, X-T4) was possible to wait for a green point without problems.

The green focus confirmation only means that spot was in focus when you half-pressed the shutter button, but not necessarily when the actual shutter actuation occurred. I agree that if you don't move the camera at all, that spot ought to be in focus, but.... welcome to Fuji.

I know it will be in focus with a full-press (at least with all the other Fuji cameras), as the shutter actuation happens at the very moment of focus acquisition precisely where the AF box is positioned - so that's what I usually do. Try it, it's reliable even with moving subjects.

Clearly the actual focus point is lower with the Fuji, but it still doesn't look all that different from the Lumix...
