[QUOTE="nickt, post: 633865, member: 4923"] I use back button focus and almost always use single point. On occasion, I will use d9 or higher. For a birds/animals in the open, d9 helps to keep on it. For a bird in the tree, d9 often gets confused. As far as only seeing the main focus point in the viewfinder when using dynamic modes, if you turn the playback option on, you can see the focus point that was actually used when you review the images. Maybe you know, but worth a mention. Menu A3 is something to be aware of too. Its basically a delay before autofocus corrects. If its off, you will get quicker response to changes. Especially if you are holding the back button down and looking for your subject. If its on, you will have a slight delay before focus updates. That delay can be helpful on small subjects if you catch focus and momentarily fall off target. Focus won't instantly jump to something behind your subject. No 'best way' for menu a3, just something to be aware of. Surprisingly, if you push the ? button on the d7200 while in menu A3, you get a fairly long explanation. [/QUOTE]
