I use BBF on my D500 with the group focus. I have the Fn button set for single point.

In that case just experiment with the different AF modes in your camera Gail, what’s the worst that can happen?Okay great Thank you. Excuse me please for bringing up something that you guys have already covered. I really wasn't looking for technical explanations in this thread, I just wanted a consensus of what most people use so that I could start with that. Reading technical stuff makes my brain go dead. I'm just not wired that way.
That's what I plan to do I simply wanted to know what most people use so that I could start there and experiment from there. From the answers I got I'm going to start with the group focus mode, which seem to be the most common used. No worries about spotting eagles! They're here in the hundreds at the moment, lots of opportunities for action fishing and fish stealing shots lol. I hope I do get something epic!In that case just experiment with the different AF modes in your camera Gail, what’s the worst that can happen?
I’d go somewhere where you’ll have lots of opportunities to practice so that when you see an eagle you’ll nail it!
I expect to see some epic eagle shots in the near future, good luck.
Starting with Group AF sounds good, but also give the Dynamic Area AF a go starting at 25 point as I’ve found that can be quite helpful in a lot of situations.That's what I plan to do I simply wanted to know what most people use so that I could start there and experiment from there.
