On my Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II, I use Single Target AF and set the AF point through the Super Control Panel. While shooting, the AF target sometimes gets moved accidentally. I’d like to keep using the center point, or quickly return to it if it changes. Is there a way to lock or reset the AF target position?

I found the answer...thanks all. The answer lies in setting the Home position of the AF grid to the middle position (or whatever position you want as Home), then assigning the Home position to a Fn button. So, by pressing the Fn button I reset the AF target point.

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
A practical workaround is to use the camera’s AF target Home position.
Set the Home position to the center AF point (or whichever point you prefer), then assign “Home” recall to one of the camera’s Fn buttons. If the AF target gets moved accidentally while shooting, pressing that Fn button will immediately return the focus point to your saved position.
Based on the community answer, this is the effective way to manage the issue on the E-M10 Mark II rather than a separate true “lock” setting for the AF point.
