Just took it on a riding shooting holiday and half way through the trip the focus point got stuck on the top left point. its only in P Tv AV and Man modes. Its still comes up when using man focus! not sure if there is a point lock of some sort i've acidentaly turned on but it made my shooting rather hard!

apersson850 Obviously it's a good thing  More info | Yes, me too wonders if the OP has realized that you can select a single point to use, if you like, and that it then will remain selected in all the modes he lists? Anders

He were complaining about most of his images being out of focus. I thought he had a lens problem as he was using a kit lens. Told him to bring the camera over and slapped one of my L lenses on. I saw that his focus point were on the one side and told him that I am going to move to center focus point to test the camera, from the blank look on his face I realized that the guy had no clue what I was talking about - a lesson later and the problem was solved 1D Mk III - 100mm 2.8 Macro - 24-70mm 2.8L - 70-200mm 2.8L IS - 500mm 4.0L IS - 430EX, 580EX II, ST-E2, Stroboframe, Quantum Turbo
