I wish I could tell you what the number was that I called and where I found it but I erased my calls while I was talking to actual Nikon customer service so I wouldn't accidentally call that number again.

I called 1-800-645-6687 for Nikon custom support and they were very nice and worked with me for forty five minutes trying to find an answer at no charge and there isn't one for locking the focus point on my Nikon Z6ii camera. There is also no way to disable the toggle switch. There is several options that the center button of the toggle switch can be programed to do but lock the focus point is not one of the options. It would be great if they would add this choice to the menu in the next software update. I am posting this in a new post so everyone will get a chance to read it since nobody seems to read additional posts in my original thread. Thank everyone for trying to help me!

I would like to say that I tried Nikon again at 1-800-645-6687 and got customer service at Nikon and there was no charge and the lady worked with me for 45 minutes on the phone and the conclusion was that there is no way to lock the focus point where you want it or disable the toggle switch. The number I called this morning that wanted to charge me said they were Nikon but evidently wasn't the actual Nikon people. There is about twenty things that you can program the center of the toggle to do and it would be nice if they would add a lock the focus option to the list.

The OP has told us what the question was. Please read the thread. And so far nobody has come up with the definite answer.


Thanks for bringing up the fact that I have posted the problem in this thread already and I have posted the problem on this site before. Please read the previous posts and you will see my problem explained.

Why can’t you answer the question by doing your own research?




For your information I have actually ask on this very forum before and did not get any answers to my problem. I have also done many hours of research and did not find an answer to the problem so don't assume that I am too lazy or incompetent to do my own research. I just wanted to express my disappointment in being told I had to pay for customer support. I have been shooting Nikon for 53 years and find this ridiculous to have to pay for customer support!!!

Being kind is, of course, something we all should strive for. But also pointing out obvious issues, fallacies in logic or obvious problems in an attempt to help is also kindness with a bit of courage. In fact, I would argue that mere passive kindness actually morally wrong. Active kindness...meaning to try to earnestly try to help people is morally correct. In this case, the OP posted something about having to pay Nikon for advice, yet this forum is perfect for asking advice. It was an obvious omission.

When I was in a relatively high leadership position in my organization, I told my subordinate managers to not treat their underlings like children. I told them to treat them like THEIR children...firm, fair, supporting, teach them, and the worst of all things is to ignore an obvious issue. In this case, the OP may have well (if he is coach-able) slap his palm on his forehead and say, "of course!" and ask the question here.

If I were to have been the OP on this and had a simple brain malfunction and didn't ask the question, I would hope someone would prompt me to ask the question.

Sadly, on this post, people went off the rails quite quickly on unrelated matters. I agree, that is not only unkindness, it is a lack of judgement. OP has a problem. We work on the problem, provide the answer and move on. Simple.

I just want to mention that I had already in the past ask about my problem with not being able to lock the focus point and did not get any answers that would fix my problem. So after asking here and doing a lot of research on the problem I decided to get in touch with Nikon to see if there was a fix and was told I had to pay for help with my problem. I will add that I also researched disabling the toggle button and that cannot be done either as far as the research I have found states. Im not new to photography or using Nikon cameras. My first Nikon was a Nikon F back in 1971 and I have owned and used several Nikon DSLR cameras, all of which had a button to lock focus on them. It seems to me that either one of these options could be fixed in a software update. Hopefully it will get fixed in the future.

Just to let everyone know that I am smart enough to ask here I have already ask in the past and nobody had the answer so I thought I would give Nikon a try. I have ask here and done a lot of research with no results but I will ask again for those that think I wasn't smart enough to ask here first.

I have a Nikon Z6ii and as far as I can determine there is no way to lock the location of the focus point and I find it very annoying and causing me problems. Before I start getting the same answers that I got last time, I know that I can press the toggle button down and make the focus point go back to the center. I shouldn't have to do that constantly every time I pick up my camera. I use back button focus on all of my cameras and the toggle button is right under th BBF button and it gets pressed every time I pick up my camera and place my thumb on the BBF button which in turn touches the toggle button and it moves my focus point. Last time when I ask here I got all kind of remarks about it not bothering other members or how to double press the toggle to get the focus point back to center. If you have this camera and it doesn't bother you I am happy for you but it is annoying to me. I am not an English scholar so please do not take the time to make remarks about how I wrote or punctuated my post. If you do have helpful information I would very much appreciate it. Thanks for taking the time to read this and respond.

I can lock my focus on any of my DSLR nikons with a lever on the back of the camera. It seems to me this could be fixed with a software update.

I have been shooting Nikon cameras since 1971 and have a question about my Nikon Z6ii camera and have been informed that I have to pay a fee to get an answer or any help. This is utterly ridiculous, un acceptable, and SORRY CUSTOMER SUPPORT!!!!! Very disappointed in Nikon.

The show had a VIP reception last night for all the sponcers and out of the approx 300 entries the Sponcers had the opportunity to purchase anything before it was open to the public and twenty items were sold and one of them was my shrimp boat canvas. It opened to the public at 11:00 this morning October the 28th and will be showing until November the 11th for public viewing and being able to purchase entries. Hoping my "Castaways" canvas sells in the next two weeks. Will let you know at the end of the show.

Appreciate all the suggestions that everyone has taken the time to post. I have already entered the show with the title of "Castaways". When I find out if either picture has sold or got an award I will post it here and share it with everyone. Thanks again for everyone that posted to help me out!

Thanks everyone for a lot of very good suggestions. I ended up going with "Castaways" I hope to sell both of my entries and maybe even win a prize. This is my other entry, and I will let you know how I did next week. Thanks again to everyone!!!These look much better in person than they do in this snapshots with my phone.

Thanks for your kind words. I had a few photos that my dentist has in his lobby and a friend of his ask if I could shoot a photo of an oyster shell and this is what I came up with. That oyster shell is about three to four times as big as the average oyster shell.
