Nikon D500 User Guide

76 Menu Guide

Choose whether the camera detects and focuses on faces when 
3D-tracking is selected for AF-area mode.

In 3D-tracking, the camera tracks subjects that leave the 
selected focus point and selects new focus points as required 
while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Choose 
whether 3D-tracking uses data from the surrounding focus 
points to track subjects that move even slightly from the 
selected focus point (Wide) or tracks the subject based solely on 
data from the vicinity of the selected point (Normal). Wide is 
recommended for fast-moving subjects.

Choose the number of focus points available for manual focus-
point selection.
