Focus bracketing not working

[beneix]

I have set my dial to BKT1, defined BKT1 as Focus Bracketing in the menu, and tried different step sizes from 1 to 10 in the Focus Bracketing settings. I am shooting AF-S and using the 16-80 Fuji lens at f4 but it just won't move the focus – the whole series of shots have the same focus.

What setting could override/prevent focus bracketing from functioning?

Thanks for the video, but it doesn't have any knowledge I didn't already apply, per my original post. I even tried both AF-S and M. Same result.

Can you list the steps you are trying, (I know that sounds annoying) as thoroughly as you can, including all the menu settings. As well as the distance to the thing you are trying to get the series of shot and the front to back length of distance for the intended series.

Here is a quick check list of the steps using AF-S mode to keep things simple.

See below. I tried one series where the distance spanned ~100cm, one where it went from a distance of 1m to 10m, and one where it went from 2m to infinity.

I resorted to backing up settings via X-Acquire and doing a complete reset. After that it worked! Then I copied back my settings, and it still worked. Go figure.
