What's the deal with the X-T5 autofocus?

Altogether i would say I would quite agree about your 2 main points : 1/-the system needs to be clearer and/or simpler

2/- The communication of Fuji is just terrible, manual explanations are difficult to understand and the lack of comprehensive non english manual is just a fault and an offence to the customer that pays 2000€/$ and cannot get a tool to master the machine easily. Btw this is a common situation in informatics, either A...e or M.......t so as an intensive user of these machines I'm rather trained to find my own way.....

As my permanent realistic position in life I did the job of experimenting what makes the camera ok. At this point I just posted my opinions, experinec and practice.

Thx for discussion.

Agree. My other main point is that, as a photographer, I have enough on my plate with sorting out the logistics of a shoot and grappling with the creative aspects of the job. The last thing I need is having to spend weeks trying to find the specific arcane settings I need for every single shooting situation that should be straightforward for a camera at this price point in 2022.

I can live with the system being unnecessarily complicated to set up, but the least the manufacturer can do is help its users do their job by issuing specific detailed guidelines.

Thanks to you too for keeping the discussion rational and civil.

This is exactly what the issue is. Fuji takes the time to have their Ambassadors test and do a promotional material for new cameras. They should pay at least one for each type of photography the camera is aimed at to do a this is how I set up my camera and why.

I was amazed that there was not more when I got the X-T3 and my developing settings for birds in flight took a lot of time. I would have appreciated a starting point better than a well berried AF-C setting called erratic and when I analyzed it after using it a few times I realized it's flawed. I shared what I created as I felt others would appreciate it.
