Re: D7000 AF performance
Selecting 39 vs 11 is a user interface feature. Instead of navigating between 39 focus points you can navigate around just 11 of them when moving the focus point selector (with 11 spread out). Makes it faster to move the selector around the viewfinder. The AF engine still uses the number of focus points selected in the… -

Re: D7000 AF performance
I shoot AF-C 39 point. I found the AF-C priority selection was set to Focus. I haven't changed that setting until just now so I'm guessing it comes that way from the factory? Doesn't make much sense. I've also tried all 6 settings for focus tracking. Non of which produce good results. I've also tried 3D tracking and single… -
Re: D7000 AF performance
sorry I'm confused... Hi. I just got a new D7000, so I was reading this thread to get advice on some aspects of the set-up. I am trying to figure out which focus area mode to choose when I shoot hockey pictures. I got confused by number of focus points 39 versus focus point selection 21...are those both set at the same… -
Re: D7000 AF performance
So the D7000 is a little different from Nikon cameras I've owned and currently own. There are two places to set the AF point selection. For action shots you want to be shooting in continuous. So to switch between Auto, Continuous and Single you push the little button in the middle of the Focus mode selector right below the… -
Re: D7000 AF performance

These options are available separately from the decision between 39 and 11 AF points actually. That's a completely different setting, basically the… -
Re: D7000 AF performance
I have 3000+ shots on my new D7K. The focus is excellent for the class it is in, absolutely no problems. Setup is "Focus" (A1), Number of focus points 39 (A6), Focus point selection 21 or single, AF-C. Haven't tried motocross with it as that is what my D3 is for. Played with D7K on cars speeding down my street 40~50 mph… -
Re: D7000 AF performance
Thanks Molotov Everything. I didn't realize the af point setting in the menu just enabled 39 or 11 point and then there were more detailed settings through the manual switch. That may help but I'm not too sure that would help my like/dislike for the performance yet. I love that I'm able to set my D300s to 3D with 51 points…
