[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 395863, member: 13090"] Okay this is easy and I think you're probably just over thinking things... First of all, you have BBF set up correctly. So, we need to separate the HOW you focus from the WHAT you focus on. You initiate focus using the back-button, so that's taken care of; you're good on this point. WHAT you focus on is determined by the Auto-focus mode and the Auto-focus Area-mode. You really want/need to use AF-Continuos as your AF-mode with BBF and I use Dynamic 9-Point for the AF Area mode; I think it's one of the most flexible of the available options. I think where you're getting confused is when you look through the viewfinder, you see one focus point selected, even if you're using, say D9 as I am. But... Press the AF/MF button on the camera body and you'll see all nine points illuminate in the viewfinder. As you move the center-point around in the VF using the four-way button, you can press and hold that AF/MF button and you'll see the whole 9-point array move around the frame.
