Second, a very irritating fact about focusing with the OVF is the fact that if you use the corrected frame option (and you should so that you are positioning the camera correctly in order to compensate for parallax error), you cannot even see a correctly placed corrected frame until you first press down the shutter release to focus.

Something I swear I remember the X100T could do was dynamically update the frame lines. Maybe it required Pre-AF and AF-C but I can't imagine it wouldn't burn through your battery.

The frame will THEN be positioned correctly. So, unless you already knew where the camera would correctly focus, you must focus a second time where that corrected frame now falls.

I've always just learned to anticipate where between the two boxes the af point will be depending on how close the subject is. Much like Auto ISO won't pick an ISO without meeting first, it can't display the corrected AF box without your focusing on the subject first.

Hmmm. Maybe it does require pre-af. Not something I want to have though as yes it will use a lot of battery all the time.
