Fujifilm Autofocus DOES NOT WORK properly Locked

Either your technique is profoundly flawed, or your camera is just plain wonky.

Have you tried this with the EVF instead of the OVF?

I almost always use AF-S with a full-press of the shutter button (by far the most reliable AF method, IMO) or manual focus. With a static subject my AF hit rate is easily 99% even with the quirky old slowpoke lenses. I've found the focus scale to be of no help at all and a complete waste of time and EVF space.

I went over to this crummy little garden shop next door to where I work the other day with my good old X-T20 and 56 f/1.2 (probably the most troublesome Fuji lens of all) and decided to limit myself to f/1.2 (which I almost never shoot at) and only AF-S with a full-press of the shutter button (no half-press first) to see just what kind of hit rate I could manage. Except for a couple of shots where the 30 mph wind blew my target away from the focus box or I was closer than minimum focus distance, every single shot was in-focus despite the razor thin DOF at close range. I don't know what you doing, or if the X-Pro3 just has the worst AF imaginable, but I really have no problem at all focusing any of my three Fuji cameras (X-T2, X-T20, X100V) ...and that includes in low light.

These aren't great art and most would look better stopped down a bit and/or manually focused a bit differently, but every one is in focus precisely where the the AF box was positioned and I don't think you can ask more of an AF-S focus system than that.

Yes, my technique is overly flawed, basically my whole life I am shooting blurry photos Be it with Nikon or Fuji ... *irony off*

I wrote that it appears with both EVF and OVF.
