autofocus - How can I use AF+MF on Fujinon lenses with hard stop focus rings?


Fujifilm cameras have an AF+MF mode which autofocuses when the shutter button is half-depressed, then lets you correct it using the focus ring.


However, some Fuji focus rings have hard stops, so you can't turn the ring past a certain point. This creates a problem because the scale of the focus ring does not change after the AF stage. This means that depending on where the ring was before AF, you can't correct the focus past a certain distance.


This picture explains the problem better:


AF-S


Is there a setting or fix for this problem? I want to be able to use AF-S, then correct it if the camera gets it wrong, and this limits my ability to do so.


In theory it can definitely be altered, since Fuji lenses are focus-by-wire.
