This is typical of most Canon cameras and pressing this button should display the current Auto-Focus selection (probably evaluative metering) and by turning the dial you should be able to see the different choices and then select the center-point hit 'Set' and that should do it. You can toggle back and forth between 'center' and 'evaluative' focusing just with the touch of a button - it might be SET but you'd have to check your Manual.<br /><br />Glad Emmi's a fast learner.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523089898331291694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-21595020157297387572012-09-19T21:29:39.763-05:002012-09-19T21:29:39.763-05:00I bet you'll get your new camera figured out s...I bet you'll get your new camera figured out soon. We have an underground fence for Sally. It was amazing how quickly she realized how close she could get to it with it shocking her. You couldn't entice her across it with a five pound ribeye, even if she didn't have her collar on.JerryChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00630641695411518427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-16551069027983746512012-09-19T21:02:47.380-05:002012-09-19T21:02:47.380-05:00If I understand you right, what you are saying is ...If I understand you right, what you are saying is when you push the button down half way to take a pic, the focus squares are not what you want. On my camera, if I let the button back up and push it down again, I get a deferent set of focus squares, each time I do it. Another trick is to focus on something else to get your one square, by actually moving the camera to a different target, until you get what you want, then move the square to your target. I do a lot of shots from a kayak, so automatic is very handy most of the time.Bobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-68676522926865172462012-09-19T20:55:35.583-05:002012-09-19T20:55:35.583-05:00New cameras always take a while to get used to.

I have one set that is always center focus for just such occasions.
