Focus point grid

[Mike G]

Dear all,

Is there a way to switch off the focus point grid when using the focus point selector lever?

Cheers

Mike

have you looked at the LCD/EVF custom settings? page 216 of the manual

[Mike G]

Milandro I have looked, but no mention of the grid!

I can’t believe that it has to stay there

[Mike G]

When the shutter button is pressed the grid goes away, what I would like is that it not there at all, it is not necessary to change the point of focus!

its a deal breaker

send it back

[Mike G]

Alf, no way!

if you're talking about the focus point selection then what I do is either half press the shutter or press the menu button and it goes away.

 

check your function buttons for the af selection and make sure that you're not pressing that fn button by accident.  keep in mind that there's one on the front that you can accidentally press and if you have the batter grip there's another on the bottom side of the batter grip that the heel of my hand keeps hitting.

Dear all thanks for the responses, but I ha come to the conclusion that the grid has to stay until the shutter button in half pressed, hey ho.

Hi Mike

 

Not sure if this is what you want or is just a half measure.

 

1. Dont press the toggle button in when manipulating it. In this state you only get very small dots on the screen.

 

2. When you press the toggle in. the hard squared grid appears.

 

3. To get it back to just the pin dots on screen, press the menu button.

 

Hope that helps

Is that what you want?

Thanks Pete, that's not it, I think I'm a hiding for nothing here. I don't think I'm going to get what I was asking for!
