Predictive AF - I just don't get it

[petergabriel]

On my x100t whenever I set pre AF to On the lens goes berserk and starts pre focusing whenever I change the cameras view. And this is without pressing the shutter button. I get what pre AF is all about e.g. during continuous AF when the shutter is pressed, and pictures are taken, but why does it pre focus continuously when the shutter is not even pressed? Seems a bit overkill to me. So, what am I missing here?

Fuji says it best: http://fujifilm-x.com/af/en/af_guide/point03.html

 

tldr: it works exactly as supposed.
