Fujifilm GFX100 II: Animal Eye AF, Mackerel Tabby
This page discusses Eye AF behavior as used for animals (my cat, Tigger). It is an exploratory effort to see how well the feature performs, certainly not an exhaustive test.
Shot handheld* on the Fujifilm GFX100 II using the Fujifilm GF 55mm f/1.7 WR, which gave the camera the very best odds of success (eg latest camera technology with a lens shot wide open at f/1.7). Results with older and/or slower lenses and/or Fujifilm GFX100S are likely to be less good.
