The eye AF is pretty much worthless on all of them, but it’s not like you need it either.

Agree Erik, I have the X-T20. The eye AF works only if the face is larger in the frame. But recently, I was really happy about it! I had to do a self portrait for the company. My family cannot really handle the camera, so I ruled that kind of assistance out. I did it on my own with a tripod and the XF 35 mm f/1.4 wide open. I used the Fujifilm remote app and started with AF-S and the smallest square, as usual. Heck I could not get my own eye in focus, the coordination with the small square, at the same time looking straight into the camera, was just too difficult! Then I tried the eye AF - it worked out all flawlessly and perfectly!

Have a great Christmas time

Yeah, while it certainly can work in controlled conditions, I find it to be quite unreliable for anything important  or spontaneous. Glad it worked out for your selfie.

And a great Christmas time to you as well,

Erik
