It looks that this 3D mode isn't that much a 3D thing after all...Ultimately, I changed it to Auto-Area AF mode, which still gives me the same issues of the previous 3D mode, also gives me the same headaches of the first two modes, although I end up losing a lot less of nice pictures than with the other AF modes.So I decided to start studying the issue; I even went to the lenghts of testing my camera AF with <a href="http://nikonites.com/general-digital-slr-cameras/6694-how-quickly-test-your-dslr-autofocus-issues.html" target="_blank">this article</a>, having found no errors at all. So this is where I can be dealing with a user error, and your experient thoughts and ideas are now very welcome....Thanks.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
