Fujifilm X-H1 Video Autofocus Issue at DR400

Fujifilm X-H1 AF Video Issue

As you know, Fujifilm cameras offer the standard DR100, but also extended dynamic range settings DR200 and DR400.

It seems that, when using DR400 there is an issue with the autofocus on the Fujifilm X-H1. Our fantastic X-H1 facebook group is testing and discussing this issue here.

There are two videos I’d like to highlight that show this issue, caused verly likely by the reduced contrast at extended DR settings.

Evidently Something also shows that, compared to the X-T2 and X-T20, also at DR100 the Fujifilm X-H1 video focus is not as good as the other Fujifilm cameras. For the AF video comparison and the demonstration of the problem at DR400, start the video at 14:01 here. The Evidently Somthing X-H1 video is overall a great review. So watch it all.

I guess Fujifilm is aware of this issue and will deliver a firmware update to fix it, as they always do.

Don’t Skimp on the Grip

In order to suspend French model Laetita Casta for this advertising shoot for diamond.com in a life size “spyder net”, high above a 4×6′ Broncolor Cumulite, itself rigged up on 2 massive crank stands, this set required a great amount of solid and reliable grip. Any failure of the equipment would have resulted in catastrophe. (image by Markus Klinko).

A Comprehensive Round-up of the Best Products from the Leading Brands

I am willing to bet that grip is the weakest link in the photo production chain, not only in countless private photographers’ own studios, but also in many major rental facilities.

Somehow photographers, and studio/rental managers, are just not willing to invest as much money and care in stands, booms and related grip stuff, as they eagerly doing with camera and lighting gear.

A big mistake in my opinion.
