Hi Jim,
About 95% of the time I leave the rectangle dead center. I will move it to a specific location if I am trying to shoot close to the ground and need to track something that is off center.
I don't know what your photography knowledge is, so sorry if this is a waste of time: The other thing you can do to help a bit in a difficult focus situation (like needing to focus on something that you are flying close to) is to close down your lens a bit with the Aperture. The more you close the lens (going to a higher aperture number) the deeper the field of focus is. For example, (just an example using the extreme aperture options) at ten feet from an object, F2.8 might have everything in focus from 7 feet to 16 feet in front of the camera. On the other extreme, f22, everything from 7 feet to infinity could be in focus. Obviously you would need to adjust the ISO and shutter speed to get your exposure if you close down the lens., but the rule is that your F-stop directly relates to the depth of focus.
Hope that helps, and sorry if I wasted your time writing something you already know.
