New camera, nube photographer.

In my R50 the autofocus area can be selected and moved around, but can it be locked to the center? I currently have it set to the point focus, so the smallest focus area, but I find that the box that shows where the camera is focusing moves around (no faces involved or vehicles) Usually the focus square jumps up and to the right, and sometime moves around while I am trying to compose the shot. Is there a way to lock it down so it will stay in the center?

Update: I tried several things and lost track of some of them. It seems my focus point is staying put now - it is just off-center but close enough to make me happy.

    I think you are searching for the One Shot focus mode. In that way it doesn’t matter where you set your focus point (in this case the center) it should stay there and focus every time you press the shooter button. Like other comment said it, there is more “advanced” ways to personalise the way autofocus works but this should solve your problem for the moment :)

    This article explains the focus modes in a easy enough way:

    I hope it helps.
