Faster Focus with Fujifilm's AF Range Limiter

Fujifilm's AF Range Limiter can help you get faster and more accurate autofocus - when set up and used correctly.
Here's a quick video on what AF Range Limiter does, how to use it, and how to program a shortcut for it.

Outstanding. I never took the time to learn about that. My 100-400 has a range limter on it. How do the two work together or do they. Also can you have subject detection on? Thank you for this. Great video.

A great tool if you’re doing a talking head shot and don't want the AF to flicker past or away from you. Great video. I’ve even used it for Run and Gun filming by creating a custom button. Thanks so much!

Always great to learn something new about the camera, thanks.

This is the first video I have seen on the focus range limiter that mentions a way to tell from the screen whether it is enabled. That is worth the price of admission all by itself! I’m subscribing!

Great video John, I've messed up too many photos recently with poor AF for one reason or another. I was aware of this option but simply forgot about it so your video is very well timed. Looking forward to trying it out now. Thanks for the reminder! I've also sub'd the podcast.

Great video. have been going around and around in the manual [for nothing] then I found your by writing range my fuji camera is a X-H2s on the 150-600 mm fujifilm. My passion is Birds so will try this as soon as possible.
thankyou.

All the subjects that you're talking about, I never seen any of Fuji guys talk about it.
I really like to see more
Thank you so much

Thank you John for a very informative video. Your explanation of the focus range limiter function is clear& concise & easy to understand. I may use this feature for telephoto lenses in photographing sporting events to see how helpful it may be.😊

Another great piece of advice. I used it a lot on the XT4 for video, I found it helped it stop grabbing what was behind me at times, very handy.
As someone who does mainly portraits I wonder if its worth me limiting the range, certainly I don't seem to do many infinity shots. I wonder how the AF performance will be boosted if I choose a sensible range to work with, 1-5m etc. Something else to try and report back, gotta love those custom mode dials on the XH2/S to allow for a quick experimental set up for something like this :)

I can't understand why it can't work with Subject Detection since it can be limited from lens limiter. It should just change the range.

Despite choosing AF-C or AF-S focus, can I rotate the focus ring? thanks you so much for your videos!!!

My English sucks, so I'm sorry in advance. If I understood properly, we could set one of those 3 customs ranges for focal hyperdistance and then just by selecting it, be sure that everything will be in focus, Am I right?

Hi, Thanks for this video, can i use this for shooting video ie for doing a focus pull, just wondering if this is possible.
Thanks

You just saved me from returning the xs20 for an a6700 after a video i shot in a field failed to pickup me or my dog at distance in af-c
