بر اساس بررسي اوليه Imaging Resource عليرغم اينكه سيستم فوكوس نمونه پيش_توليد دوربين كه براي تست در اختيار بوده است هنوز نهائي و كامل نبوده، ولي سرعت و دقت فوكوس خوب و براي كارهاي معمول هر روزه كافي است. بزرگنمائي براي كمك به فوكوس دستي هم به خوبي كار مي كند كه براي فوكوس در نور كم كمك موثري است.
"Certain aspects of the autofocus system on these pre-production models were also clearly not finalized, so I'll only say that, even on these units, the AF was fast and decisive enough to make me confident that the X1D will focus well for typical everyday shooting. I was only able to test the magnified manual focus assist, and it worked well, making it easy to judge focus even in fairly low indoor light
