The camera isnt for grabshots tbough. It goes to sleep to save battery. By the time it wakes up, the shot has gone. Its shutter lag is also more than a dslr...i missed some action shots decisive moments despite using some predictive technique. Using afs wouldnt help. ..i dont think. But i will give it a go to see if the buffering is quick enough. All in all its a nice camera for casual no pressure shooting. ....but not in dslr league for quick use..imho.

Yes this is very useful and is one of the reasons why the Fuji cameras are slower to use than a Nikon as the Nikon doesnt do this unless you use the Preview function ;-)
The Fuji does it every time you half-press the shutter when in EVF mode.
