[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 835741, member: 48483"] I see the focus plane on the 1st photo. It is just off center. I really don't know if you are manually choosing a focus point here or it auto-selected. I tend to let the camera auto-select and I see the squares show where it wants to focus in the confirmation on lock. But remember you can override by touching the screen to select focus. I have read of people leaving the rear screen on all the time and accidentally touching their nose and changing the point.
