Precisely capturing the subject
AF Modes
From still lifes to moving objects 
- everything is covered
The focus area can be changed in eight directions using the X-T2's 
joystick-like Focus Lever: up/down, right /left and diagonally. This 
allows users to make quick changes to the focus area for accurate 
focusing after composing an image. This feature is useful not only to 
shift the AF points during autofocusing, but also to quickly choose the 
area to be enlarged in MF Assist mode during manual focusing.
Focus Lever to instantly change the focusing point
Choose Face Detection to automatically detect human faces, or turn on Eye 
Detection AF to automatically detect and accurately focus on human eyes 
for successful portraits with a shallow depth of field.  You can also define 
the area of priority focus, for example right or left eye, or the eye closer to 
the camera. These functions have been upgraded for improved accuracy to 
a level that will impress professional photographers. They are particularly 
effective when shooting with the 56mm / 56mmAPD or 90mm lenses.
Eye Detection AF automatically detects human eyes
Larger high-speed and 
high-precision phase detection AF area 
coupled with performance improvements
The phase detection area has 
been expanded by approx. 230% 
compared to previous models, 
with the number of focus points 
increasing from 49 to 91 (up 
t o   3 2 5 ). T h e c a m e r a a l s o 
activates phase detection AF more 
frequently to take advantage 
of its AF speed and accuracy in 
a greater variety of situations.
The A F algorithm has been 
improved to boost the camera's 
ability to capture subjects that 
have previously caused problems 
for phase detection AF. Subjects 
with delicate textures, such as 
bird fe at her s, c a n n ow b e 
focused on quickly and precisely.
The X-T2 has a variety of functions that assist pinpoint focusing in the MF 
mode. Set the Focus Mode Lever to MF and rotate the focus ring to access a 
variety of MF Assist functions. These include Focus Peaking, in which color is 
used to show the parts of the image that are in focus, and Digital Split Image, 
where focus is achieved by lining up the split image strips in the center. 
These features are particularly useful in macro photography and portraiture, 
which involve a shallow depth of field and require focusing precision.

Highly precise pin-point focusing. Choose 
one of 91 focusing points. The focus area 
can be also one of five different sizes.
Useful for slower-moving subjects that are difficult 
to focus on using the Single Point mode. The 
focus area can be either 3x3, 5x5 or 7x7 points. 
The central area delivers extra-fast focusing.
The camera automatically selects multiple zones 
and focuses on the subject. This is suitable 
when shooting a subject with unpredictable 
movements or multiple moving subjects.
I deal for a subject moving toward the 
camera or in a specific direction. You can 
choose one of 91 focusing points. The focus 
area can be also one of five different sizes.
Perfect for a moving subject that is difficult to 
track with a single focusing point. Keep the 
subject within the chosen focusing area to 
maintain focus. Using the phase detection AF 
area offers extra-fast focusing.
Track a subject that moves dynamically across 
the frame. You set the starting position, then 
the camera follows the subject. This mode is 
suitable when shooting a pre-composed 
frame on a tripod.
AF performance has been improved in a number of keys areas. 
The fast and accurate phase detection AF now covers a larger 
part of the frame and has been optimized in the area where 
users are most likely to position the main subject. At the same time, 
the X-T2 boasts significant focusing improvements on small 
highlights, low contrast subjects and subjects with fine textures, 
which have previously caused problems for focal plane phase 
detection AF. Contrast detection AF, which excels in low light 
conditions, has also received a performance boost, with the ability 
to accurately focus in light levels as low as -3EV. The camera 
also refocuses more regularly during the slow burst mode in AF-C.
