What AF area mode do you keep your camera in most of the time?

When are you using anything other than single point AF? I hardly ever use anything else.

I got all 51 points turned on. Then I override them.

Sometimes it's right. :)

With the viewfinder I leave mine in its auto select mode. With LCD liveview that mode is not available, I can only start with center point, then adjust location.

Usually just the one point here unless it's shooting fast falcons in flight where there isn't anything else in frame and I occasionally open it up to 9-point...

Don't think I've ever had them all selected...

It varies with what Im shooting. I use the 9 point most of the time.

I keep mine on the center point, single shot, and back button.
