Re: HPX500 Backfocus HELP!
by Brad Neal on May 29, 2008 at 12:30:49 pm

Bill,
First, I would not rely on the LCD screen on the camera for anything more than framing. I would really consider a good on-board monitor, or if you usually shoot in a studio environment, then Adobe OnLocation (formerly DV Rack) does a great job with your laptop.

Next, what are you using for a backfocus focus chart? The one in the back of the lens manual is really not a very good solution. Better than nothing, but barely.

If in fact your are experiencing trouble in keeping the backfocus properly adjusted, then you should probably send it in for service.

I have 2 500's with the stock Fuji lens, and I have never had problems like you describe. I check it occasionally, but it's usually dead-on.

Best,
Brad
