I like to use the single point focus on my camera. When I first turn the camera on, it is set for auto-focus area and I then set it to single point. Every now and again it jumps out of that mode back to auto-focus area. Why? Is there a "lock" setting that will keep the focus setting where I want it? I want to make single point focus the default and my camera isn't playing with.
Perhaps it needs a factory reset? Is there such a function on the camera?
Are you changing your shooting modes? By that I mean changing from P, S,A,M to Auto?
I was wondering if you go into Auto mode ...whether that resets the focus mode back to auto focus area?
There used to be a Two button reset option on Nikon DSLRs .....press8ng two of the button with a similar coloured mark alongside them. Not knowing the D3100 I don't know if that model has this option.
I wonder if you have updated your cameras firmware to the latest version? This might flush out any gremlins.
Welcome to the forum.
