Sorry my error I meant AF-C contious but single focus point. Would have been better to use 5 or 9 focus points for moving bird but had no time to change as bird had been feeding in static position then turned and ran. IE no time to change settings to multi focus points.
For action button No 15 on back of D500 & D500 "Focus" is good and 2nd button No 14 "Sub-selector" can be set to the multi focus points of your choice.


Problem with using 14 for another 'dynamic' function when 15 is set to focus, is that you have to take your thumb off the AF-ON button ...so you lose focus tracking.

I've set Fn1 to give 25 multipoint AND lock on....to make it easier....I think!!

It's a shame all these button assignments don't click on and off...some do, but others you have to use a spare digit to hold it on. This means 3 of your right hand digits are not gripping the camera!
