Back Button focus..

Can I set my X-E1 for back button focusing?

Yes.

I'm not sure if the X-E1 can do this.

To get BBAF on the older 16MP bodies, go to Autofocus settings and set Instant AF to AF-S or AF-C (I'd suggest AF-S on the X-E1). Then set the camera to manual focus and press AF-L to focus.

That said, I thought that Instant AF only came with the X-Trans II bodies (X-T1, X-E2 on later firmware, X-T10), not the X-Trans bodies (X-Pro1, X-E1)

I used an X-E1 and X-Pro1 for several years. I have always used back button focus.
