Focus - manual or AF - battery consumption?


Recommended Posts

Hi

 

I have become quite fond of using my x-pro2 and x-pro1 in manual focus peaking mode, as I find it much faster to focus the area I want in focus, as opposed to fiddle with the joystick. However, doing so I tend to - what people refer to in AF mode - hunt a bit before I nail focus. This makes a noise from the lens so obviously it activates its focus motors whenever I turn the focus ring. My question is therefore; does manual focus use more battery when focusing compared with AF that usually locks on fast to whatever the focus point is set to. I mean I’m not a computer, so turning the focus ring probably results in a lot more lens focus hunting than in AF mode.
