Thanks, Chris. I didn't check that. However, that presumes that you
have a clear subject and a reasonably wide aperture. Shooting through
the fence, with a subject that was seldom still, I had neither.

You can also refine the AF with a little twitch of the focus ring, Jim. I
rarely do this so I had better check on its ready availability.

Because of my experience with the Fuji 27mm AF lens, I reviewed the forgotten features of
the X-E1. I now have the distance scale displayed in the finder, and can quickly switch
from AF to Manual Focus. This something that I had never tried previously, but it seems
to work quite well. Hence, the problem, like in most cases, was not with my equipment
but was "pilot error". Such is life. :-[

Autofocus can be a blessing when shooting sports, but not if one is shooting
through the fence. This friendly umpire chatted with my family members several
times between innings, and I attempted to snap a photo. But, as I should have
expected, the focus is on the fence wire. And I am not proficient enough at
shooting MF with an AF lens to attempt a changeover on the fly.
