    Excellent, succinct, explanation. Thank you.
    Fuji's implementation of back-button focus in Manual mode is genius I think. It makes zone-focussing so easy and makes the camera super responsive. I generally just tap the rear AF button when pointing the camera about 4-5 metres in front of me, that gets me a perfect "Street" zone. At f/5.6 and 1/250th I just let auto ISO run to 12,800 for the ideal Street walkabout.

    The X-H1 arrival last week has had me scouring youtube for these. Although I have the T-2, and can get what I want for my simple needs, the power demands on the X-H1 has made me want to make it as efficient and smooth as possible. (Face eye detection off, slower video focus transitions, etc.) These videos info have trickled back to my T-2 understanding. But even after all the youtubes, this is the first that let me know I'm supposed to hold those afc and afs buttons down while focussing. Superior channel!
