I’ve read articles about that technique over the years but I’ve never been able
to see any advantage over merely using the shutter release. Although I
mentioned, in response to Jim’s query, that the focus ring can be turned while
in AF to refine focus, you have to have a MF focus aid visible to be accurate
with the focus. Since you don’t have a focus aid available (in my quick test
yesterday with an X-Pro1) it looked too difficult to me to use any manual focus
refinement – while AF was available, at least.
So what’s the point, old chap? ;-)
