Hi--
New to Sony (longtime Canon user). a7CR. I'm trying to figure out the context-specific behavior of the control wheel. Sometimes it moves the focus point, sometimes it will offer to change the ISO. It doesn't seem dependent on whether or not I've selected a particular focus area on the touch screen? Could anyone point me to an explanation? I'd just as soon have it only control the focus point location if that's possible, or at least understand how I can make it control focus point when I want to.,
 
Click on the centre button, when it has four arrows around the focus point, you can move it around. When it doesn't, it completes the other functions around the wheel, such as iso. Took me a while to figure it out, I have a medical condition whereby I can't read instruction manuals.

Just curious, what's the emblem you have as an avatar?

Oops--The avatar slipped in (belongs to our boat gyrfalcon88.com). I changed it to my initial. Now I see the little arrows around the focus point. I didn't realize it was a toggle type button. Thanks!
