hope they will add this handy feature to the still mode as well!

I haven't seen this mentioned, but it does work with the 18-55 cinema zoom. I bought the lens knowing the cameras did not work with other manual focus lenses, but hoping the electronic contacts pass enough data to enable the feature. So happy it does! But I noticed you have to really nail the back focus setting before it is accurate. So some information from the lens seems to be used.

I tried the Hasselblad X2D earlier this week and it had a very similar feature on the stills shooting mode which I liked. Come on Fuji, lets have it on the X-T5 stills mode.

[terrariumelio]

Having HAL staring at me all the time is unnerving. 😊

Thanks for all the great videos. I’m learning a lot as I cycle through them.

[MarcioK]

Yep. the X-S20 have it too.

Have tried and loved it, but did not tested with manual focus lenses without contacts - sad to see that it not works in this case, it is where it would be most useful.

[JimKilgo]

Something I didn't know that is in the X-T5! This is a great assistant for manual focusing in video mode and something I will definitely be using!

[jasonwhinnery]

Wow! Thank you. I had no idea this meter was an option. This will be awesome for my manual focus real estate videos.

[alohamark]

This looks like a great feature. Maybe they could add it to manual still mode to improve macrophotography.

Hi There! I bought XS20 this past week, and honestly I’m currently struggling to get this camera to do what I want it to do. There’s not a lot of tutorials or guides to learn it. I found your channel and I see lot of great Fuji content but nothing specific to XS20. It would be reallly helpful if you could please make a detailed video to teach video AF on XS20 with all modes and functions. It’d be very helpful for lot of people like me

love this sharing. never seen any other utubers talking about this. thanks!

[FlorianCortese]

Thanks for providing information on this useful tool, Chris.

[mauriciohzamora]

Hi, thank you for your great content. It is very refreshing and direct. It would help me a lot (and others, I guess) if you'd mention UTC time instead of specific time applied to USA, only (unless your content is only aimed to USA viewers, in which case you are doing perfect). Cheers, mate.

[massimobernardoni]

Thank you you are the magician of settings😀 The fuji summit disappointed me a little I was expecting new lenses or new cameras from the X system.

[codedaemon]

Thanks for sharing. I saw this feature in cannon. I was wishing when this will come in fuji. Hopefully we will soon see this in still photography. Recently I was doing Astro in dark night and manual was very challenging. This meter will be very handy in those times.

[LikeOnFilm]

this is a very interesting feature that I didn't know about, thanks!

[TungstenOvergaard]

I will join the party!! Have a restful weekend!!

[user]

Was wondering when you'd cover this! Been trying it on my x-h2s for a while. Love the feature!

[mheann_amlap]

I'm working in Fujifilm optics Philippines Soo great and high tech camera

[ianroe]

This is an interesting feature, but I do wish it would still flash green when a fully manual lens is attached and critical focus has been reached. I personally find focus by wire lenses to be really weird and finicky to use and I couldn't imagine relying on one for focusing during footage

[RichardBO]

Looks like an interesting feature. Wish it worked on still images. Is it tied to the phase detection or contrast like the focus peaking?
