Focus Handling.

When I first play with Fuji X100, I really love the hybrid viewfinder (OVF). But there are two limitations of using the OVF:

1) No Manual Focus (When you move the focus ring, the OVF won't see the focus change), It is normal though:) as it is not a DSLR.

2) Cannot be used for focus less than 80cm.

I love using OVF, but I always have to change to EVF when someone comes closer to my camera. But when the objects can closer and closer (may be approx < 50-60cm), you have to switch the camera to macro mode, it won't focus correctly otherwise. Moreover, there is a strange behavior when the object is between not so close (macro mode) but less than 80 cm, it cannot focus correctly!


Fuji X100 has a new firmware (v1.11), it should address some focus problems, I will try it later.

If you have the same problem, please check the following link:
