If I try to change my AF mode to the Direct Focus Point, this option is not selectable.

It doesnot matter if I have the camera in A, S, M or P-modus. I just can't select this option.

Can someone help me with this?

Ernstbk has the perfect answer.

I suppose you should also aware that under "Direct Focus Area", the 4 default functions of the 4 ways command key would be superseded by the up/down/left/right action... You might have to end up with assigning those 4 very frequently used functions (ISO, WB, AF and Drive Mode) to another fn keys or in Q.Menu....

If you don't object Touch AF or Touch Pad AF (when using evf), it might even be faster to change your focus point. When accidental move of focus point, the short cut key "Disp" could return the focus point to center immediately....
