I used a Sony RX100 and RX100M3 on auto for most of my stock photos and they would focus around the central area with great success.
I notice that with my Sony RX100M6 it appears to focus on whatever is nearest the camera including the close foreground. For instance, if I am on a shingle beach pointing the camera toward object in the near distance it will often focus on the shingle at the bottom of the frame.
As I see it, I have either got a faulty camera or Sony have drastically changed the focus area in the M6 model. I don't think it's possible to change the focus area to 'Spot' in the auto setting.

Any thoughts?
