Look at you complaining about eyelash focus. The real issue is the Fuji AF algorithm ignoring the person in front of you to go right to the random face in the back. highdesertmesa wrote:
Best we can hope for is single shot eye-AF that doesn't focus on the eyelashes.
Threads about Fujifilm improving their AF are among the dumbest on the Internet and always end as a train wreck. No one is waiting around for Fujifilm's AF to get better. Folks have either adapted, accepted, or moved on.
Most everyone is looking forward to improved photo equipment here in the FM gear forums.
If Fuji AF is problem that is something that they should be working on.

It's not a 'pro lem' for 99.9% I've been using AF since e the beginning, and it's marvellous compared to that, it improves all the time. And for the vast majority of situations it's not even necessary, manual focus is fine. You have to rely on your own resources either way, it's YOUR job as photographer to get it sharp where you want it, using whatever aids you can work with.
Like any automation, it takes skill to use effectively, and when you come up against it's limitations, learn how to work it, or move on to a different tool that will help you solve your problem.
Or nowadays you can sit at your keyboard and whinge incessantly at every opportunity about your 'problems', real or imaginary. From experience or just hearsay.
