I have not posted here for a while but been a keen visitor. I'll probably be one of the last nx users as I have done the opposite to most nx users and invested more in the nx system. I have added in the last 2 months the following a second Nx1, 85mm 30mm and second nx500 ( which I need to resell) in top of my 2x S lens and 45mm. Anyway enough about me...

I'm trying to make the focus square on video mode smaller without any luck. Is that possible?

I do not think it is possible, almost 100% on this one.

I'm having a few missed focus during video shoot due to the size of box. How are people nailing their focus on video mode?

Sorry, I'm not much of a video shooter.

Also, on AF button alternative selections I tried the various selections, AF START & LOCK, Metering & AF Start + Lock..etc. it probably me but I can't seem to find any of the different options of any use or help when shooting, any recommendations?

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this, what are you hoping to do by this?  AF lock is going to stop focus.  That will be like SAF, make sense?  It can be useful to pick your focus point and not let the focus wander or attempt refocus when shooting video.

thanks in advance,
