Re: AFS-S issue - Returning my XT5 - wide open focus, MF + AF-L

Yes, forgot to say that it happens in good light, and yes it's not necessarily using the set aperture. Tried a while ago, don't remember exactly, but it was sort of staying fixed at 5.6 if that's where I set it. If the diaphragm was opening wide, my eyes were not quick enough to see it!

Sorry, editing... Also did a huge number of shots refocusing each time (tripod etc) and in general my camera was missing focus (slightly) around 1 time on 10.
My doubts came after a number of landscape shots where far mountains were not exactly crisp (pixel peeping). The MF/AFL method has solved it.
Also, the problem is more likely to happen at infinite. Which is a known issue with X100s (plural. Some of them).
