point gets to the edge, I want it to stop so that I can scroll
back the other way with the Multi Selector. However, I
humbly submit that some people will simply adore having
their AF point wrap to the other side of the Viewfinder. If that
describes you, simply set it to Wrap. It’s always No wrap for

AF point selection allows you to adjust the distance the AF
point moves when you move it around the screen with the
Multi Selector.
If you move your AF point often, it might get tiring to scroll
through the full 51 focus points. In older Nikon cameras, we
had a maximum of 11 sensors to scroll through, so it wasn’t
too bad. However, with 51 AF points, it could take longer
than you want to scroll from one side of the Viewfinder to the
other. Or, you might just like the old way better!
Nikon has given you a choice. If you’d rather not scroll
through 51 sensors, you can set AF point selection to 11

2 shows the 51-point selection. This does not change the fact
that there are 51 sensors available in Dynamic-area AF or
Auto-area AF modes. It just means that the Multi Selector
will make the selected sensor move farther with each press. It
skips over sensors when you scroll in Single-area AF and
