As far as I can see, Nikon decided to copy Auto-area AF in AF-C mode from video function.
What I mean is, you need to initiate tracking by pressing OK button, which will bring white square on, with ability to move it around.
Once you decide what to track in the frame, you need to press either OK again, or AF-ON/Shutter button half way (square becomes yellow).
To cancel tracking, you need to press OK again (square goes white again), then you can choose another spot/object, and to tack all over again.
If you want to cancel white square and let camera to choose focus, you need to press zoom out button (white square disappears).
The tracking itself looks like 3D tracking to me, and start/stop may be appropriate for video, but it's completely stupid for stills.
IMO, Nikon must changed this in some of the FW releases, to make it as simple as it should be, so
the white square is always there, you point it to the spot/object you want to track, then you push AF-On/Shutter button half way, to get tracking started.
You release buttons, so tracking stops, and white square goes back to center.
Have I missed something in this system, or understood wrong?
