S'ok, Rick...but you're right, the situation is a bit unclear. It sounds like the OP may haveAF Point Expansion selected, or perhapsAutomatic AF point selection (or Zone AF, which is essentially Automatic AF point selection restricted to a subset of the AF points).


My confusion is that "AF spot" can mean AF point (i.e. the little box in the viewfinder), whereas "Spot AF" is a specific AF mode on the 7D.


Or we're misunderstanding, and the issue is that the region of critical focus in the shot is not were the selected AF point is, but rather somewhere else in the frame.
