How do you set the focus area for whole frame when using face tracking mode? Isn’t that the non-optional default?

AF menu 5, first setting.

If it is set to AUTO - then when starting AF the camera finds the object in the whole frame. In case of planes it works perfectly and allows me to have object in focus in any area of the frame.

If it is set to any of other 2 options - there is an initial AF point (region) in which the camera will try to find an object. This setting works with trains I'm photographing - I simply catch the engine into the area and then AF tracks it across whole frame.
