What's the deal with the X-T5 autofocus?

Some cameras need as you stated a bit more effort than others to achieve the same result. May be instead to be a disaster, or an "abyssal" issue according to one reviewer, it is an asset, forcing the user to understand how the system works and what he is precisely demanding.

I mean, no one expects perfection. Again, just a good enough performance to be able to trust the tools one is using.

If everything reported by quiete a few different reviewers and users here is user error and/or the system settings too complex for the average user to master, Fuji has two solutions, a hard one and an extremely simple one to implement:

1. Tweak/redo the system so it's not so complicated, if that's really the problem.

2. Publish a detailed set of recommended settings for different shooting situations and lens types, to make things easier for their customers. This is plain good business practice and should be dead easy for them, since no one knows nor has tested the system more thoroughly than them. It could be published by the end of next week.

In the absence of solution No.2, I don't think it's a stretch to assume the real problem may lie elsewehere, no matter how many times the usual 2-3 suspects (not talking about you, to be clear) tell us it's not.
