[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 658792, member: 9240"] [COLOR=#333333] While technically correct this can be confusing because Dynamic Area focus only shows you a single focus point and it may appear in the viewfinder to be the same thing. What you want to use is Dynamic Area Focus which defines the number of points around the single point where the subject can "wander" in the viewfinder before the camera locks on something else. You want to set the area so it's as large as you need to keep the initial focus point in focus as you move with the subject. For BIF on my D500 (amazing focus system) I generally set the number of focus points to either 72 or the full focus area which runs the entire screen from L to R. On the D750 you're focus area is comparatively smaller so I would use D51 which will track the focus point throughout the full area as you shoot. There are some other tracking/focus lock settings that you'll need to play with to find what works best for you. Steve Perry has a great video on focus modes for Nikon cameras which has likely been linked here a bunch of times, but it's worthwhile enough that I'm happy to link it again.
