I have tried back and forth to reproduce this but no, if I have set a
particular focus point, the camera will rather blink "unable to focus" than
switch to another sensor.
The MZ-S has this feature that allows the neighboring sensor to be used if
the desired one cannot focus...
[trying to be funny] Maybe your *ist D has even more hidden features? Can
you open the rear door? What is behind? [/trying to be funny]

Betreff: *istD focus point anomaly


I've noticed an odd problem with the *ist D.  Very minor and easily
fixed, but odd.  I keep my camera on central AF sensor mode since I
always prefer to focus and recompose.  Occasionally, however, it will
start flashing the sensor to the left of center.  (Maybe my camera is
just a Democrat)  A little experimentation also shows that it's actually
using this sensor to focus.  Just resetting the selector switch doesn't
seem to help, but shutting off the camera and resetting the switch does.


Has anyone else seen this?
