Bob That's exactly the point - the camera is operating as you describe, even when set to AF-S. So if I focus on a point and then move the camera to compose the shot, it re-focuses (I find it quicker to do this than mess about with selecting AF points). Most frustrating. I have to focus manually to resolve this at the moment; which I do by eye. I don't tend to use AF confirmation in manual mode - I'm not sure whether it works differently in C or S modes...
As you say, it looks like I have a fault.
