In the old days, focus was always manual. You might not believe it, but for centuries, if someone wanted to focus, they had to twist a dial on a lens, not just click a button. Yet, as digital cameras and autofocus technologies have advanced, it’s become less taboo and more normal to use AF for your photos and videos.

Still, despite its powers, the art of autofocus is a bit of a mystery to many. To help lift the veil and provide insights into how to better utilize AF technology, Fujifilm has released a comprehensive series of support documents that explain the nuanced details of its cameras’ autofocus systems.

If you’re a Fuji shooter or a curious fan of autofocus technology, here’s everything you need to know about Fujifilm autofocus.
