X-T1 focussing strangely?

Hello.

I've owned the X-T1 for a couple of months now and have been very pleased with it. But this weekend gone, after a week of non-use, i started to become aware of my 14mm lens making what appears to be focussing noises on the "S" setting. Like it's mimicking the F setting and trying to track. This is without holding down the shutter button. Once i hold down the shutter button to focus, it locks and the noises stop. I wondered at first if it was the lens, but it does the same of the 18-55 lens, too. although less obviously.

So i'm wondering if anyone can tell me if it's meant to do that? I can't remember it doing it before. It was rather dosconcerting to be walking with it and feel it continouusly trying to focus (which is always unsuccessful until i use the shutter button,). Perhaps while tuning the settings to my liking i altered something? Rather than jump to any conclusions and rush to send it back, i thought i'd ask for advice and opinions first on here from people who probably know the camera better than i. Thanks in advance.
 
See if pre auto focus is turned on in the cameras menu.
 
Solution
Aha! Thanks very much! I do believe you've solved my problem. I thought ii must have done something in the menu and just couldn't figure out what. For some reason my mind wasn't picking up on the scroll arrow for more options down in that part of the menu... Much appreciated. Slightly embarrassing to have missed it, but waaay better to admit to ones ignorance and learn from it =)

Again, very kind regards
