I like using the center focus point, and can select it in most modes, but I can't seem to choose my focus point in the full auto mode. Is it me, or is this function not an option in the full auto mode. I was going from sunlight to shade to indoors rapidly, so it doesn't make sense to try and use manual setting. Thanks!

Deep down, you know that reading the manual is a form of cheating...  Fine, don't read your manual. That's your option... Just don't come whining here when your camera does something you don't understand... j/k John
