Focus points

More is better, but most important is the cross type. I shoot sports and the more cross types available is always better for maintaining focus with high speed action and it allows for a bigger focus area.

So more is better but more cross type is more better

That is why I like my D750. 51 focus points with the 15 in the 3 center rows being cross-type sensors. You are right that more is better so we can move around where we want the one we are using. I do change over to more points when shooting BIF but even that can get confusing if there are a lot of birds flying around.

The new models solved the problem of the AF-C and AF-S switch being changed accidentally. Now we Hold the button there while adjusting it.

I have a D800 instead of D810, but see D810 manual, pages 91 and 92. Page 91 says to Hold the AF button (shown there, below the lens release button), and while holding, rotate the front wheel to see the display choices shown there, and interpreted on page 92.

The A8 menu selects the number of possible choices selected with the select buttons when unlocked.
It is still single point, but one of many possible points in the finder (fine vs coarse positioning).
