Fujifilm X-T5: Focus peaking highlight lingering during shutter half press

I’ve just upgraded to X-T5 from X-T4.

Whereas in the X-T4 the peaking highlights would disappear when the shutter button was half pressed, in the X-T5 the highlights linger. When there’s a lot of foliage this is a problem, because the highlights obscure the scene while shooting,

Is there a setting I have missed?

Do you use back button focus and have AF on the shutter button disabled? Not even sure if that’s a cause but it’s the first thing that came to mind.

Thanks for your post.

1. Yes, I’m using back button focus. 
2. Shutter button AF is disabled.

Well I’ve just had the chance to check mine (hadn’t it to hand when I replied earlier) and I have the same as you. I’ve scanned through the various settings and I can’t see an obvious reason for it - so I’m guessing it’s either a “feature” or a bug, depending on which way you look at it.

Thanks for sharing! In my view it’s a bug, and I hope FUJI will fix it soon.

DEFINITELY A BUG!

Focus peak highlights is my favourite way of focusing, but then half pressing to recompose gets severely messed up with the 'twitching highlights'.

XT2, XT3 and XT4 worked flawlessly, so something has been changed for the worse.

I hope they fix this bug (it's neither one thing nor the other!.. or make it selectable in the menu if they must).
