Just a suggestion, both focus points you have choosen, if I understand correctly, is sub par. PDAF works best with contrast in the vertical direction.

Your wall, has none, the brush is just that. For pics like this, especially when shooting with a massive DOF, focus and then recompose, or shift your focus point to a good spot for the pdaf to work properly if you are using a tripod. That is what I do and no problems, but I shoot whith the allgedly unable to focus at all XH1.

I am not saying that this is the issue, but choosing an appropriate focus point for you pdaf to work, is essential.

Happy shooting with your new cam I guess.

Focus confirmation box was half way along the wall, yet focus appears to be at the bottom right of the wall where the crack appears.

ISO 400 1/500s f8 55mm

focus confirmation was left side, crop below :-
