Does the Fuji not have single point focus?

I would have though the camera is functioning as expected, averaging the focus between the variously selected points and adding a little calculation of it's own?

Trouble is the camera is doing the selecting.

You need a single point, on the beak or the eye.

This is why I avoid multi point focus. I put up with it on the D3300 because it's rare that I take a critical photo with that camera, it hardly ever goes off fully auto P&S.


Yes it's got single point....I use it most of the time.

What I am trying to do is establish the merit of the zone focusingmode...because many swear by it for capturing moving subjects.

I am also trying to establish if the camera is functioning properly!

I cannot for the life of me understand why, if it is working as design, it refuses to use the centre square. It rarely lights.

Just centred up a black bird on lawn....all 3 bottom squares below the bird light up?? Take the shot ....and surprise surprise the grass in front of the bird where the 3 squares were, is sharp....the bird isn't!
