The D810 focus system is amazing, especially the new group af, and this camera has got the best AF I've ever used.<br /><br />On my X-T1 I have set "focus" as priority for both AF-S and AF-C in the menus. Is that your setup too? I play around with "face detection" on/off, and sometimes it works, others not. I've also tried going to manual and use the AF-L button to simulate back-button AF, but haven't quite managed to get good results with that on moving subjects.<br /><br />I often use continous AF and CL as shoot speed, and shoot shorter sequences of 12-15 shots when I have models walking towards me and I walk backwards from them. Works ok, and if I can time our walking speed with the CL speed, I get two nice-looking-crossed-walking-legs, and one inbetweener. So two shots out of three are ok as far as legs, and then it's only abut nailing that focus on the eyes.... More training I guess.... :)<br /><br />Cheers,<br />EivindFotograf Eivind Røhne / www.beyondtheice.nohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08813934598019858307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8331638045168087261.post-87391275720495932712014-09-14T08:49:09.781-04:002014-09-14T08:49:09.781-04:00In a situation like this, where all the scenes are...In a situation like this, where all the scenes are bright with plenty of contrast, neither camera is going to have any trouble with focus. I always use the continuous setting and put the focus point on the model's eye. In dimmer, more back lit situations with little contrast, I sometimes have to play with the size of the focus point on the Fuji. On the Nikon it is easier because you can simply switch to the new 5-point group focus which is amazing in almost any situation.

I shoot with both of them as well, but feel I have more to get from the AF on the X-T1 than I do know.<br /><br />Cheers!Fotograf Eivind Røhne / www.beyondtheice.nohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08813934598019858307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8331638045168087261.post-90297336352491416992014-09-12T08:10:00.126-04:002014-09-12T08:10:00.126-04:00For the couple dining on the grass I used the Fuji...For the couple dining on the grass I used the Fuji 10-24mm zoom. For all the other photos I had the Fuji 35mm f/1.4. During this session, in photos not included here, I also used the 50mm f/1.4 and 23mm f/1.4.

Adobe rebuilt the upsize engine with fractals a few versions back so this may be leveling out the final output.David @ I Bake He Shootshttp://ibakeheshoots.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8331638045168087261.post-66663992514635046392014-09-11T16:08:51.485-04:002014-09-11T16:08:51.485-04:00nice review, I always marvel at how great/effortle...nice review, I always marvel at how great/effortless your photos always look! ballardboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00743275492221134119noreply@blogger.com
