Re: Best G5X AF settings?

Thanks for your reply Mark ... Yep, fully aware of how to  move the AF position although I almost exclusively leave it centred. I achieve focus with a press of the (reassigned) rear "star" button, recompose and shoot. This has worked well for me through many years of using a variety of G series cameras dating back to the G3. I shoot in aperture priority auto.

I think I might be asking this camera to focus closer and with less subject contrast than it is capable of ... the G11 and G12 were very good at that ... I'm getting much better results after some experimenting, and not trying to do stuff the camera seems not to be designed for.

Nevertheless, these issues combined with the laughable battery life has got me seriously contemplating dumping it on ebay. Such a pity though. The G5X ticks so many design/functionality boxes for my requirements.
