GH4 GH5 AF+MF Setting Not Working?

Hi,
I can't get the AF+MF setting to work on the GH5.
Meaning, if set to autofocus, I can't manually override the focus even when half-pressing the shutter or using the AF lock button.
I've tried this with both the "Continuous AF" on and off and in both AFC and AFS/AFF modes.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

GH5 Camera. Couldn't select the prefix. Using an Olympus 75mm native prime.
 
Not working for me either. I couldn't find a setting that would allow this to work either.

Cheers,
Pete
 
In AFS: Fn3 = AF-On, AF/AE Lock = AF-On, holding either Fn3 or the Lock button allows me to punch in for manual focus.
 
Okay, using parkgt's feedback, I figured out how to get it to work as well. AFS (not AFF) has to be selected both within the camera setting and on the external AF switch. If the menu setting is set to AFF OR the external AF switch is set at AFC, the manual override/lock button won't work. From what I've read the selection of AFS or AFF doesn't impact the autofocus capabilities of the camera, so I don't see any drawback in making this change.
