Yes, double check the firmware version for both the camera and lens. And also be aware that on the X-T2 it is not necessary to set the camera to M to use back button focusing. There is a menu option to remove AF-ON from the shutter button so that you can back button focus in S or C mode much like with a Nikon etc dSLR.

Thanks for the quick replies.

Yes the firmware is up to date on both cameras and lens.  As far as the XT-2 is concerned you are correct - back button focusing instead of M - that is the way I have it setup.  I am used to using M on my XE-2 tho, so it is just a bit disconcerting that the 16-55 does not work in M with the back button initial focus on either camera.  I probably will be using it on the XT-2 only anyway.

Still kinda curious if anyone else has the same behavior.

Will call fuji support to discuss whether this is known behavior and whether I should swap this one out - still in the return period.

thx
