[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 200964, member: 9521"] I suspect you have the shutter release set to "focus" so that the camera will not release the shutter until it achieves focus, in addition, I suspect you have your focus locked so that when you press the shutter release all the way it quickly reverts to the center. The focus lock in located on the back of your camera and looks like a flat lever with the letter "L" and a dot. It's connected to the pad you use to change the focus spot. Change that lever from L to dot and the problem of your focus point should go away and you'll be able to push the focus to any point in your field of view Take a moment or two and go through each and every one of the shooting options and menu items with your camera in one hand and your manual in the other. Also, consider picking up a copy of Darrel Young's "Mastering the D7100". His books are probably THE best books to help you fully understand your new camera. Here is a link to his book.
