skimmel Posted May 27, 2016 Share #1 Posted May 27, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, renting an SL for the weekend and have a question I can't answer: Is there a way to move the focus point back to the center point instantly, without using the touch screen? When using focus tracking, the camera leaves the focus point at the last focused point and I am used to being able to get the point quickly back to the center. Thanks.

ericborgstrom Posted May 28, 2016 Share #2 Posted May 28, 2016 Do not think so. I have not found it, written or in practice with the camera. /Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocalHero1953 Posted May 28, 2016 Share #4 Posted May 28, 2016 Not with the SL lenses. Conversely, with M and R lenses, the zoom-in focus point for manual focusing always returns to the centre after each shot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest VVJ Posted May 31, 2016 Share #12 Posted May 31, 2016 it doesn't happen when using native lenses. I know... and I want to keep it that way...! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
profus Posted June 1, 2016 Share #13 Posted June 1, 2016 I know... and I want to keep it that way...! Me, too. And make it work in a same fashion also with M lenses And then on top of it, make it possible - if one wishes it - to reset position back to center with single button push. So, I guess everybody would be happy Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I guess everybody would be happy (bolded) Yes. With a one-push framing reset available, whether the selected focus point is sticky between actuations or not is irrelevant. This is why the Olympus E-M1 offers a user-configurable "home" position for the AF system and the ability to assign a one-push reset button to bring it there instantly when needed...
