X-T100 focus and locks oddities and flaws... and reccomendations

between subsequent shots. I mean that the camera refocuses before every shot even keeping the shutter button half pressed. This is disappointing and very annoying when you just want to try different compositions with the same subject.

MIne definitely doesn`t do that - I use the camera in single point AF mode .

Focus mode AF-S not Continuous (thats probably your issue)

Focus Priority in AF-S set (it defaults to release which means it`ll take pics even if OOF)

PRE-AF to off (stops the thing refocussing on the ground when checking pics on the LCD)

I also set interlock spot-AE and focus area to on because I like it to AEL on half press too and it holds both exposure and focus on half press

Thank for your interest too.

My camera is set exactly like yours but maybe I didn't express myself very well (this is not my language) or there's a misunderstanding.

If I take a single shot I can obviously focus half pressing the shutter button and the focus is held as long as I keep it this way and until I shoot.

What I hoped for was the focus to stay locked for the next shot(s) too as long as the shutter button was kept pressed halfway. If you engage AF-L with Fn button, the focus stays locked for as many shots as you want (unless you enter playback or menu). But if you focus with the shutter button, as soon as the picture is taken, the focus is released  and the camera needs to focus again for the next shot.
