Ok, got ya!! I didn't think there was a standard either. Have you tried the 3d tracking?
I usually use just 1 focus point, I find the camera gets confused with too many points and wants to focus on something I don't want it too.
The 3-D tracking is too slow for the things I would use it for, fast moving autos, so I usually use manual focus prefocused for an area. The release is set for focus priority. This works best for me.
No matter how fast I go, there's always someone slower in front of me.

D3s, d700 and d3x all have the same i believe.
Canon 1d mark 4 and 1ds mark 3 have 45.

Not yet, still use a kind of trap focus on moving objects, (similar to graflex), but I am going to give 3D tracking a try soon.......
Why so serious?
