I found out how to defeat that, now to see if I get better results.

I thought it might be something like that. I think something else MAY be going on as well. Am going to experiment.

For some reason, possibly operator error, my X-T50 stops the lens down to autofocus. Happens with three lenses, OEM and third-party, all bought new (haven't tried any others). If I set the aperture to (say) f16, when I press the back button to AF, the viewfinder gets very dark, and the camera misses focus. I can watch it hunting, and it occasionally finds focus and then loses it. This appears to have happened today, even at f5.6. Has anyone else had this happen? Are there settings I am missing? (There always seem to be. 🙂)

Any vague rumors about an update for the firmware on this camera and other more recent ones? Improved face/eye detection is definitely needed. At this point, it's fairly useless. I have reverted to moving the focus point, or using focus and recompose.
