Been mostly using OVF. A lot of missed shots (out of focus), but probably just me coming from a DSLR

Anyway, I enjoy the camera, the portability, the style, the IQ. All these shots are straight out of cam, no post processing what so ever.

 

All shot with the 18 f/2

A tip or two. If a dSLR is having a problem focusing, one can pick an edge and it will often solve the problem. With the Fuji sensor, that may well make it focus on the background. When shooting a face for example, size and place the rectangle where only the face is included and preferably containing a feature such as an eye. It is looking primarily for contrast.

 

A half-press will force the camera to focus, so you can judge. Hold the half-press and the focus is locked so you can recompose if necessary. The half-press does require a moment more anticipation but is pretty much fool-proof. Anticipation is good.

 

When tracking action, set to continuous focus and don't use a half press. Mash the shutter button down and the camera will trip the shutter the moment it is in focus.

Thank you for the tips! 

 

So I guess I should make the sure the face covers the whole rectangle to be sure it's in focus as I understand it from you. I wish the rectangle was smaller.

Push an AF selector button, so you see the selection available, and twist the front or rear dial to change the size of the AF square
