Leo,

Are you taking about going into a menu and selection 9,21,51? or on the camera where you selecting it with a switch by LCD?

In any case in the menu it is set at default 51 but on the camera switch it is moved to 9 and pretty much always stays there. I do shoot like 95% of the time with a single center point and do a lot of focus and recompense. These are the settings I have on just sold D3 and now on D3s with perfect results

Yuriy, for the shots like the two guys in front of a Christmas Tree 9 points AF is no good. It is better to have AF-C with "Single-Point AF" mode. D800 manual, pages 94 and 95 provide info on how to set it up.

Leo

Its even better to use AF-s with "single point AF" since AF-S holds the value with half pressed

shutter button while you recompose.....

hasselblad goes even further and compensates the shift when you recompose and its system is called Truefocus.......!

Its the only way to get precisely focused images with 60 MP sensors without AA filter next to manual....

Peter
