I suggest consulting the user manual.

Choose a different focus area. You are now in expand flexible spot mode.  But as Chrissie says, read the manual. There is an electronic one on the internet, more elaborate than what came with the cam.

Plainly advising him to RTFM, even I would have considered rude. So I explicitly linked the online, searchable user manual which you are probably thinking of.

Maybe I am rude when I state some people are too lazy and ask silly questions, but hé, apparently not everybody here reads or speaks English / American. (maybe they even don't understand rtfm ? )

I personally feel that it is reasonable to provide an answer if you have one to offer.  This forum is sorely lacking in participants; anything that can be done to be helpful seems worthwhile to me.

Thanks. I always feel that if you dont have something to add to a conversation you are better off just listening. I appreciate the recommendation to read the manual. I find in general the Sony menu system, specifically the focus menus and controls to be a bit overwhelming. Call me old school, I grew up in the photo chemical world and th0ought I love using my Alpha, I rely on help from other users for a lot in information. Again, I appreciate any response, but find the productive ones a bit easier to stomach.

Thanks very much
