hi I picked up a cheap x100s second hand. I noticed the AF is a bit inaccurate and slow. Also not very good in low light. I checked the firmware and it's version 1.03. Would updating to the latest firmware improve the AF at all?

Thanks.

I've had two X100S cameras and didn't have a focus accuracy problem with either camera.

If your camera continues to have accuracy problems there may be something wrong with it.

Perhaps "unreliable" is a better word. It has great difficulty focusing even on a large central object when it is backlit. Something my Panasonics have no problem with. Maybe I'm just used to good AF.

I found that manual focusing works better in lowlight situations.
