Accidentally in manual focus mode on the side of the camera?

No, I checked that and it is in AF. I also ran a test in the house focusing on a couple of water bottle labels with both X100Ss set at f2.8. I was about five feet away and my Silver X100S instantly focused with a half press every time; 10 out of 10. My Black X100S instantly focused on 8 out of 10 tries. which is far better than what it was doing earlier today and yesterday. As you can see, my Silver X100S has a third party soft release that is similar to the Fuji one on the Black X100S, although the one of the Silver X100S sits higher because it has a couple of o-rings and the threads are cone shaped to work with Fuji and Leica bodies.
