AFS this provides a moveable square of AF that is not as fast as crosshair but provides very good usability for images where you composition dictates that the critical focus will probably be at the same place in viewfinder.
AFC this provides a cross hair focus (only in centre of frame) that is very accurate and relatively fast to use. Half pressure to focus, recompose and then shoot.
M - not manual at all as you use the AFL button to focus then then have the option to use the jog dial to provide image magnification at x3 or x10 in the EVF.
Once you have these huge differences from Nikon nomenclature sorted i becomes easier and in fact the XE1 and XPro1 become very useable EXCEPT for fast moving objects where in Nikon DSLRs you would use AFS and dDynamic nearest object focus!
The naming conventions are very misleading!
