Most of my shooting with an X-T20 is done in program mode,  Focus Area set dead in the middle of the viewfinder and as small as it will go, and Single Point Autofocus mode.  Sometimes without knowingly  doing anything the Focus Area has gotten larger and has shifted far away from the center, usually to as high as it can go and off to either side. Am I doing something to cause this? If so, is there a cure? Thanks.

When in the menu where you can select focus point, use the wheel button to make the focus area smaller or larger. On my camera it is the arrow down button that is assigned to enter the Select Focus Point menu item.

Heres a section from my booklet Fujifilm X-T20 Tips which is free on the Apple Book Store:

1.5 Focus Point Selection in Single Point or Zone mode size

The focus point can be selected in 4 different ways:

Firstly, by touching the screen if Touch Screen mode is turned on 

Secondly by pressing the button assigned to Focus Area and then using the selector buttons

The button is assigned by the menu: Set Up > Button/Dial Setting > Fn/AE-L/AF-L Button Setting/Dial Setting > or directly by pressing and holding that button.

Thirdly by using the menu: AF/MF > Focus Area and then using the selector buttons

Fourthly by using the selector buttons immediately if they have been made permanently active by assigning them with: Set Up Menu > Button/Dial Setting > Selector Button Setting> Function or Focus Area.

Note: When set from Function to Focus Area they store whatever function was set to them if ever they are switched back to Function.

When the selector buttons have been made active by whatever means, touching the Disp/Back button centres the focus point and rotating the Rear Command Dial changes the frame size. Pressing the dial restores the original size.

    • Hey everyone, I am new to the fujifilm system, and I just received my X100vi about 15 days ago, and yesterday I noticed that ISO and exposure dials are acting up. I spent hours watching YouTube videos and reading forms without finding any solutions. Using ChatGPT or Gemini also didn’t help. My issues are the following: If I want to set my ISO at a specific value then the camera LCD/EVF shows a totally different value. For example, I have shutter manual, aperture manual and ISO dial at 6400, the camera shows ISO at 4000, when I take pictures it will show ISO at 4000 and not 6400. When I try to choose another ISO value it will skip some of the available values that are shown on the dial. Another issue I am having is when my exposure dial is not set at specific value, then I cannot set ISO to Auto no matter what value I select on the dial. If I do select the different exposure compensation values, then I choose A for ISO, the camera will activate the front commend dial to manually change ISO values. To get in Auto ISO, the shutter speed cannot be set in auto and the ISO dial should be set at 125, when I turn the ISO wheel, it seems like the numbers are misaligned by one value, If I put the dial on A with shutter speed manual, then it will trigger the front commend dial. The other issue that I am having is when I have Aperture, shutter speed and ISO on manual, If I change the exposure dial compensation + or - , it actually changes the exposure of the picture as well as the ISO value, which as I understand, if Camera is in full manual, the exposure dial should do nothing. The last issue that I am having, if I do have ISO in manual at a set value, and adjust exposure compensation dial, it alters my ISO instead of my shutter speed or my aperture, even though ISO is in Manual and the other two dials are in Automatic. I am not really sure if all of this is by design and I am just not understanding how everything works together, but it seems really odd how everything changes. Resetting the camera settings didn’t help. 
    • I also have the eaxct problem with my X-T5. The remote used to work, but not anymore. I also get the light coming on on the camera back, and autofocus will happen, but no shutter release. Since I use the 2 or 10 seconds timer more I don't know if a firmware update is the cause of this negative change. I actualley only use the wired jack-remote for action release on a tripod.  Did anybody find a cause, and even more assisting, a solution?
    • I have the same issue. Have you found the the solution?

    • On my XPro 2 the rear command dial, when pressed, can cycle through 3 different magnification levels in the OVF.
