Re: Panasonic Lumix G7 Focus Spot

Love my G7. One small issue for me is the focus spot. I set the focus point by touching the LCD screen where I want the focus spot to be and press the Menu/Set button to lock it's position. This works for a number of exposures. Then, all of sudden I find the focus point has moved. I'm not sure if it's because I unknowingly press the LCD screen by accident or if it's something else. Anyone have a suggestion so I can lock the position of the focus point and not have it change over time? Thanks for any help or suggestion.

Tons of threads on this topic so i suggest a search and a thorough read as many folks have many different preference.

For *me* my default is the LCD flipped in, so of course no accidental touches AND i prefer to have the options of the four way controller (WB, ISO, focus mode etc) available.

When i do use the LCD i flip it out to the side and use my left thumb to move the focus point while using the EVF.  I find this combination absolutely fantastic - just drag the focus point anywhere you want it within the shot.
