If anyone from Nikon NPS is reading this thread, surely you must admit that your documentation of AF area modes (and especially Dynamic Area modes) is not clear enough for photographers to get the most out of these systems. Most photographers on this thread have read all the available Nikon documentation, but this material is not enough. And if the new version of dynamic area modes on the D5/D500 is a bug of some sort, please let us know. There is nothing wrong in admitting a mistake. Surely it is far worse to say nothing and give the appearance of not caring about your customers.

On 3/10 I sent the thread to the NPS Technical Rep. for the Northeast Region and I never received a reply. Perhaps other NPS members can forward the thread to their reps and we may get a reply from Nikon.

I switched over to Group shooting BIFs and my keeper rate went way up, no more Dynamic Modes for me.


I've been in discussion w/ Nikon tech support w/ little result...

I honestly do not see how group mode could possibly increase the keeper rate... other than requiring greater diligence in keeping the initially selected point/group on subject.
