Using rear command dial to change AF mode...

[MajorSparky]

I'm a Newbie to fujifilm cameras and would appreciate help with the focus point selection and display on my new X-T3 (sorry to put it on the T2 forum, but no T3 forum as yet). 

My problem is that I can't get the rear command dial to change the Focus Point mode when `All' is selected. Page 70 of the manual says that, in the menu `AF/MF settings > Focus Area' , you can choose the focus modes to be Single Point or Zone or Wide/Tracking or All, and that if you choose All you can cycle through the AF modes (in the order Single Point, Zone, Wide) using the rear command dial. 

When I change the AF Mode to All, and then select `Focus Area' in the menu, I see the square shaped focus zone. Using the rear command dial then only changes the size of the focus zone. Similarly, after changing the AF mode to All, and exiting the menu, I see the square shaped focus zone superimposed on the LCD screen image, and using the rear command dial does nothing.

What do I have to do to change the AF Mode using the rear command dial? Help appreciated.

1. set front camera lever to C or S

2. assign R-Dial to "AF MODE"

3. press R-Dial and then rotate it to choose AF Mode Zone

hope that helps

Focus Area assignment to R-Dial allows to press the R-Dial then change focus area size (by dial rotation) and position (by joystick move) if Single/Zone/All AF Mode selected.

Thanks Yukosteel. Reply appreciated. The step that I was missing was to press the focus stick before rotating the rear command dial. This step wasn't clear from the user manual. With 300 pages of user manual to plough through, it's easy to miss some things. Thanks again.
