Of course I am talking of focusing on any random location in the frame, not a person, eye, etc. R5 does that well.

I am not not sure why some folks become so agitated over the issue.

The responsibility is on the OP to succeed. They’re ignoring the solutions that have been placed directly before them (it’s indeed the “horse to water” effect). Like I said earlier, I think they’re only here to make a point (not looking for a solution). People can see right through this sort of veneer. It has an agitating effect.

People get agitated because of the annoying responses.  It's not often that we see R2D2 "agitated".

The OP cited landscape photography as the justification for his need.  Several people pointed out that what he wants is incredibly easy with virtually any camera that is made today.  Indeed, the capabilities go far beyond his requirement.

It might be nice to discuss some of the details some time, but not here and now.  Done.
