YES! Same, this had happened to me numerous times - especially when using Triggers for Off Camera flash for my client work. I had 2 international shoots (big, world known brands in the food industry) and it was so embarrassing when my XH2 kept on freezing. It required me to take the battery out to restart. Happened about 9 times within the time of 6 hours of shooting. I am hoping the new update for the XH2 and XH2s fixes this + improve the AF reliability.

Took my XH2S to Japan and had it experience freezes a few times on 7.0. AF still seems to drift to objects that aren’t what I started out with. Ruined a shamisen performance because it drifted from face to someone’s camera on tripod instead. I brought my A7R3 as backup and was using it for some stuff because I was concerned I wouldn’t get shots or clips with XH2S

Never had freezing on the H2S- only using a high speed cfxpress card - Delkin Black series, and only fuji lenses… no issues

Something not right at Fujifilm for years. You complaint of latest firmware.. But these are long problems. Every generation was falling way behind the competition in terms of autofocus. Somehow things are not shown well to the public. I have Fuji, Sony and Ricoh. I prefer to use Fuji by a fair margin. But it is also the system that promises a lot and gets to much unreliable. This is 2024!! Why is Fujifilm the only camera that I am constantly checking for focus? Every shot is a random experience.

i am planning a holiday in tanzania and Zanzibar in september. i need reliable autofocus by then.
if Fuji doesn't give us a fix til then, i will also downgrade my firmware. what good is reala ace if the fotos are put of focus?
shame on fuji, its just frustrating and tiring. again and again.

Thanks for your Video. I've got Autofocus problems within shorter distance of about 1m. I got the red AF! symbol. If I go for something a couple meters away it works out fine. As soon as I switch on animal detection the short distance works out fine, but longer distance won't focus anymore. Never happend before 6.01 with the 50-140 2.8. Not good

It seems crazy that a huge established camera company wont actually fix the problem. You have to ask, are they in financial straights or just dont care? Its obviosly an attempt to prevent a costley recall and not put out a new camera with a different AF system. No brainer….they have faulty parts.

Indirectly you are bashing me for making those vids, 1. For my usecase the AF is bad especially in video 2. Settings you're talking about that I make the camera intentionally to fail is not true, tracking and speed, lower the tracking (0) the camera tries to focus fast or a new subject or fast moving subject ( its not actually tracking, its just how fast you want the camera to re-focus), and if you increase the "tracking" to +4 the camera wont focus immediately on a moving subject, it waits longer. 3. I can compare the firmwares instantly, no need to have job to see is bad, and im not doing a job if I dont know how the camera works, i just compared 1.03 to 7.0 running towards the camera in video . And you're welcome, Your xh2s doesnt focus on the hands no more because of my "bad" vids.
