Infantasy Posted June 13, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 13, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) I got an EVF for.my M10P recently but found the focusing point (cross point) is not always in the centre. I have adjusted back to centre but sometimes it returns to the left lower corner automatically no matter changed to another lenses or not. Does anyone know how to set the default focusing point back to centre. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 Hi Infantasy, Take a look here Focus position of EVF. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
a.noctilux Posted June 13, 2020 Share #2 Posted June 13, 2020 I've found, the only way is to turn off (then on) the combo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB_tx Posted June 13, 2020 Share #3 Posted June 13, 2020 Isn’t the M10P focus point set by the touch screen? Perhaps your nose touches the lower left when using the EVF - if you use your left eye. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe T Posted June 13, 2020 Share #4 Posted June 13, 2020 Is there a one step quick way to move it back center? Is that accomplished by turning it off and back on? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the M10 not the M10-P but since the M10-P has a touchscreen I imagine just touching the centre of the screen? Pete. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infantasy Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share #6 Posted June 14, 2020 I just explored that the focusing problem can be overcame by completely zoom out. This can make the focusing more quickly unless a very precise focusing is required. Thanks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucerne Posted June 14, 2020 Share #7 Posted June 14, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) How do you Expect to vary the focus point when the lens is manual only and there is only a visual relationship between what you see in the viewfinder and the image delivered to the sensor. The Cross point can be moved across the LCD frame but has no effect on the lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cross point can be moved across the LCD frame but has no effect on the lens. Using an EVF on the M10-P makes the attached lens autofocus*. Pete. *I might have made that up. I think it's the OP's terminology and he meant cross-point (where the exposure reading is taken when set to spot metering). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucerne Posted June 14, 2020 Share #9 Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) How? does the lens magically acquire a motor to allow it to alter its focal Length I do agree that the OP is actually referring to selecting a spot metering point. 55 minutes ago, farnz said: Using an EVF on the M10-P makes the attached lens autofocus*.

No, I was being frivolous, of course and no offence was intended, Gordon. Off-topic a little perhaps but the lens doesn't necessarily need to have a motor for autofocus as in the Contax G2 where the film plane is moved back and forth as far as I recall. Pete.

graphlex Posted June 15, 2020 Share #11 Posted June 15, 2020 Not the G2, but the AX. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuc001 Posted June 15, 2020 Share #12 Posted June 15, 2020 I wonder whether tapping the touch screen twice would reset the focus point to the centre, like the Q2. I'll test it on my M10-P when I get home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
darylgo Posted June 15, 2020 Share #13 Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) In the menu settings there is a choice for EVF/Display Control, in the submenu is LV Screen Target. When set to auto as you put the camera to your eye the rear display live view will change to the evf but the focus point can be changed into the corner by touching with fingers or noses on the rear screen prior to change. To prevent this, set the submenu to EVF, this alleviates any touches to the rear display. With this setting, the rear display will not show live view unless the EVF is removed. As mentioned, resetting to center is only accomplished with on/off of the main power switch. Edited June 15, 2020 by darylgo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted June 17, 2020 Share #14 Posted June 17, 2020 At least Leica is consistent. They managed to implement their trademark Wandering Focus Point on a RF camera... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevejack Posted January 10, 2021 Share #15 Posted January 10, 2021 Old thread I know but I REALLY hope this is fixed in a future firmware update. It drives me crazy that I can’t disable touch when using the EVF. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It enables me to focus much more faster if you are not wide opening a f1.4 or larger lenses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They refuse to fix it on other cameras showing the problem - only worse as those are autofocus- despite many complaints by users over the years. 😡 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
