focus area won't hold still

I have a new X-T30 and am experiencing a problem.  I shoot aperture priority and use autofocus S (not continuous). My difficulty is that I cannot get the autofocus area to hold still. I don't' want the camera to decide where to focus; I want to do that by moving the focus rectangle around with the joystick on the back of the camera. And I'd like the focus area to stay where I put it. This is never a problem with my X100T. I know that when I find out the answer to this it will be something quite simple, and I'll kick my self for not having thought of it myself. I'd appreciate suggestions, TIA and best to everyone.

Which AF Mode are you using?

Menu: AF/MF Setting => AF Mode

SINGLE POINT should allow you to move the point with the joystick (unless, as Olaf says, it has detected faces and you have face detection on).

If AF mode is set to ALL in the Menu then you can select which specific mode to use by touching the joystick once briefly and rotating the rear command dial.

Thanks for your responses! I'm using single point AF with face detection turned off. Often when I aim the camera, the focus point will jump to a particular area of the frame, for example in the lower left quadrant of the frame. I want it to stay still (I have it set to the center of the frame,) allowing me to move it or leave it where it is. I can't get the darn thing (the focus area) to reliably remain stationary.
Ideas? And thanks.

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By Don Barar · Posted

      The backslashes you are referring are just symbols denoting path.  Once you import into these LUTS into Davinci Resolve those backslashes are removed by default and you only see is the true file name which has no backslashes.  Convince yourself of this by opening the LUT folder from the Davinci Resolve Project Settings.  Do you see any backslashes in those LUT names? Of course not.  The only name you see is the one that has the underscores and the periods. These LUTS work as designed without having to change any path names.  However, they need to be set up properly through CSTs and by what is supported in Davinci Resolve.  Hence, the FLog2C film simulation LUTS cannot be used because Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut color space and the FLog2C gamut. Alternatively, Davinci Resolve does support Flog2 film simulation LUTS because the color space for FLog2 is Rec 2020 and there is an FLog2 gamut. If all you are doing is changing the path names then you are not getting the correct results.

      I found the reddit topic i refere to :  https://www.reddit.com/r/davinciresolve/comments/1pc3f1e/cant_apply_new_fujifilm_gfx_55_lut/ "Update for y'all, It's just like what @ExpBalSat said, it's because of the backslashes in the names break them. I changed the file name and it works now. "   For me it was the solution. Realy annoying if it doesn’t work for you 😕

      Here is the solution to using the Eterna 55 file simulation LUTs in Davinci Resolve.   In general, do not use the FLog2C to film simulation LUTs as they are not supported by Davinci Resolve for two reasons: 1) Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut Color Space and 2) Davinci Resolve does not support FLog2C gamma.  Instead, use Flog2 which is supported by Davinci Resolve.  Here is an example.  Let's say that you want to use Classic Chrome simulation.  Do the following: Complete your color grade and use a CST to get to Rec 709. Add a node.  Use a CST to convert from Rec 709 to FLog2.  Output Color space is Rec 2020 and Outout Gamut is FLog2. Add a node.  Apply the FLog2 to Classic Chrome LUT Create a combination node from node in steps 2 and 3. Apply a Key to the combination node and adjust the Key Output Gain to get the amount of the combination node that you want applied. So that you do not have to do this over and over again, generate a LUT for the combination node.  Remember to turn off all other nodes before generating the LUT. Hope this helps others. Don

      Thanks for the insights. I think it's really hard to make a decision without having the two side by side!
