GX7 Focus Box question
1

I get very confused by some of the focusing actions on the GX7 perhaps someone can explain for me. I don't find the manual clear on this.

I'm in single point and using the touch screen, I move my focus box around the screen & pinch it larger and smaller. During this process the box has four yellow outward point arrows on it's perimeter

If I half press the shutter my yellow box is replaced by a white box with a blue plus sign in it, not necessarily in the middle.

The blue plus sign is I assume always in the middle of the screen and I can see now that my focus box isn't centred

So I touch the screen again but I can only move the yellow box to where I think the centre is but half pressing the shutter shows that I am still not centred around the blue plus sign.. How do I guarantee a centralo yellow box.

This is just one question of a few I have. Pin point focusing has even more boxes and symbols that confuse me.

If you think the manual explains this well, please point me to the relevant pages.
