I have the camera set to manual focus, focus on a desired distance with an assigned focus-button then leave it like that. When i turn the camera off and on it has the distance saved at the exakt position as the last time. Simple and works flawlessly.

The only issue is if I by mistake move the focus ring on the lens while shooting as the camera is set to manual focusing. I have not found any way to fully disable the focus ring completely.

Exactly the way I work. However, with the first firmware version the camera would reset itself to 2 m every time it was switched off. Fortunately Fuji changed that behavior after I and several others complained.

So a workaround is to turn on AF+MF and deactivate from the shutter release (I think you can do this, you can on other Fujis). That way in AF-S the focus ring will only be active if you half-press the shutter release before turning it.
