I'd only ask if you'd tried the menu reset functions, as in returning menus back to default settings.
I have not reset the menu to default settings. I am giving it a little time to try and figure out what is going on, so I can understand. In the end, though, I will reset to defaults and if that doesn't fix things than that would really stink.
Originally posted by Wheatfield Just a wild guess, but I'm wondering if the problem isn't your test bed. The AF sensor is seeing a much bigger part of the screen than what the indicator light sees.
That is a very good point. I thought that could be a problem, so I then started taking pictures of some paving stones in the backyard. They are 1 ft by 1 ft patio stones that are very textured. I took shots of those at roughly 45 degrees aiming at the seem between two stones. The same focusing behavior was demonstrated clearly.
On another note, I have been using center point focusing for all the test shots.
