and although the settings are exactly the same, when viewing with ViewNx2, one shows the focus point and one doesn't. I just don't understand why? I have noticed that the focus point is sporadic. Paul
Are you using BBF? If you lock the focus and then move the camera to re-frame and do not refocus you will not see a focus point. I think this also happens when you 1/2 push the shutter to focus and then reframe the shot while the focus point is locked.
I think I am correct in this because I came across it before, but really haven't tested the process lately so I may have forgotten something. Ha! When I get time, I will have to retest my theory.
