Thanks. Manual refers to manual exposure mode. I did not notice additional problems shooting flight stopped down because I rarely stop down more than 1/3 stop, one click on the aperture.

ps: our conclusions are quite similar 🙂 🙁

I recently acquired one with the vertical power booster after using the X-T1 (and loving it) for a couple of years. I shoot a lot of coastal birds in SW Florida and was looking to improve BIF performance by moving up. The custom AF options seemed oriented for it. However, performance has been very iffy for me. Focus acquisition is only good at very wide open apertures, a real limitation. Consider this poor design for the advanced AF claims – should not stop down during aquisition. That limitation applies even more so when the 1.4TC is on – very poor acquisition. In general, focus for me, even singles, has been LESS reliable than with the X-T1. I am confused at least, and beginning to be concerned about hardware or firmware flaw. When you say “manual” in your shooting data, what do you mean? Beautiful work. Thank you.
