Thanks, Chris. I didn't check that. However, that presumes that you have a clear subject and a reasonably wide aperture. Shooting through the fence, with a subject that was seldom still, I had neither.

You can also refine the AF with a little twitch of the focus ring, Jim.  I 
rarely do this so I had better check on its ready availability.

Because of my experience with the Fuji 27mm AF lens, I reviewed the forgotten features of 
the X-E1.  I now have the distance scale displayed in the finder, and can quickly switch 
from AF to Manual Focus.  This something that I had never tried previously, but it seems 
to work quite well.  Hence, the problem, like in most cases, was not with my equipment 
but was "pilot error".  Such is life. :-[

Autofocus can be a blessing when shooting sports, but not if one is shooting 
through the fence.  This friendly umpire chatted with my family members several 
times between innings, and I attempted to snap a photo.  But, as I should have 
expected, the focus is on the fence wire.  And I am not proficient enough at 
shooting MF with an AF lens to attempt a changeover on the fly.
