I apologize for the thread resurrection here, but it would be nice if the camera would at least remember where you had manually focused it to. (If there's a setting for that somewhere that I missed please point it out!) I often zone focus and as soon as the camera sleeps or I shut it off, the focus point resets to about the two meter mark. I assume it's the same on the X-Pro2. A great firmware update would be to enable the camera to remember it's position, and/or to at least reset to hyperfocal distance (as they calculate it) for the given aperture.

I have to admit that I haven't seen this issue as I never zone focus anymore. I find with the X-Trans III cameras, the AF works well enough for me.

How would/could firmware remember a manual position? Just reset the lens.

I think you should have address this comment to Scott.  Since I rely on the AF system, getting the camera to start up where it left off was never an issue for me.  Just press the AF-L button and everything is in focus again.
