Fujifilm massive autofocus firmware update, why use lens hoods, X-T50 launch?

I've been testing out the new video autofocus updates the X-S20 and X-T5 received recently. This is a huge update.

As mentioned, share any photography / motorcycle questions or brief stories, which I may feature in an episode!

By placing a small hole on each end of the lens hood, I can attach a stretchy chin string, so I don't lose my lens hood. Wearing my lens hood proper, permits other people right away to recognize, I am a photographer. With my lens hood on my crown, I can gather the cosmic universal knowledge of photographic energy in the atmosphere. A really nice thing is being able to paint my lens hoods in different colors to match my attire for the day. I picked a sky blue color to wear when making video. When people see me wearing my blue lens hood they right away know, I am recording video. Some day I may mount a solar panel or propeller to gather solar energy for charging the camera. It is nice to know there is at least one other photographer who knows how to wear a proper lens hood and what it means. I am a disabled Veteran with an active imagination, totally bored... Loved your video, nice work... 👍 🤣

interesting Natalie about auto focus things keep improving. I use lens hoods depending on the lens as you know some lenses just catch stray light so easy and spoil contrast. I've been using a wide lens around a 26mm which I just got and I don't have a lens hood for it, so will be interested how my pictures turn out for me, I took a few with strong light in them. Plus I have been known to bang the front of my lens into things so a hood helps in that sense also. looking forward to hearing how you get on with the sound equipment
