That's not right, in 3D dynamic mode the system should show you what AF rectangle it's using at all times.
The only time the system does not show you what AF points it's using is in automatic AF point selection mode when using continuous servo. Are you using the top (automatic point selection) or the second (dynamic point selection) setting on the three way AF point switch?
I've got to admit I find automatic point selection next to useless for exactly the reason you state, it doesn't show you what points it's using.
Yes indeed, maybe I was not clear enough, I am talking about the full automatic point selection (again this works very well if you are shooting big enough subjects). Dynamic point selection and the other modes (single point) are fast and reliable.
and BTW don't misunderstand me, even if I mention a number of "cons", I still consider the D3 to be one of the best cameras ever, and it does the job for me. Don't forget that as with all other sophisticated tools, it has a serious learning curve to get the best out of it.
