I am used to the 5D MKII. I cant see any of the red squares for some reason (I know it has to be a setting). I get it to pick some red squares when I press the shutter halfway every now and then as it picks what it wants to focus on. Other times I just lock focus using the center circle and hope it works. If anyone has a clue what I am doing/not doing, It would be great! Thanks, Paul Go and look at CF111-12

In AI Servo mode, pressing the joystick toggles between all AF points and one selected AF point (depending on your CF settings, too). |Fuji X-E2|Fuji X-E1|Fuji 18 f/2|Fuji 35 f/1.4|Fuji 60 f/2.4 macro|Fuji 18-55 f/2.8-4|Fuji 55-200 f/3.5-4.8

See if you can scroll through your focus points using the multi-direction controller. You can also try pressing the multi-direction controller in the center to see if there are any registered focus points. -KMc-
