Difference between "1 Point" and "1 Point H" focusing?

[Feudal1]

I've read the paragraph in the manual about this, have focused using both modes, and am still not sure of what the real difference is. The manual on Page 98 says this:

 

"The high speed version offers faster focusing. It can result in a less fluent monitor image though, especially in the case of fast moving subjects. Therefore, if the best possible monitor image is the highest priority, you can prefer the normal version."

 

What does this mean? Is it saying that the LCD monitor on the back of the camera refreshes less quickly with "H" focusing, in favor of locking focus more quickly? That is how I'm interpreting this, but want to make sure that is the correct interpretation.

I tried (not many times) but did not see any practical difference in focusing speed between 1 point and 1 point H. I use 1 point.

hi guys, i also got an x1 recently. Still doesn't know my way around x1.

 

I was reading the manual with regard to 1 point and spot mode. It says in the manual: Use the direction buttons to move AF frame to the desired position. I tried clicking the direction buttons, however the AF frame remains in the middle.

 

Firmware is upgraded to 2.0

 

Pls help. Thanks.
