Single-point, dynamic nine/21/51 points, 3D tracking and auto-area AF. Live view uses contrast AF with AF-S/AF-F and face/wide/normal/tracking areasHybrid phase/contrast detection; 273 single-point or 299 auto-area positions in FX stills; 3D tracking, nine subject types and AF-A automatic AF-S/AF-C selection. Nikon's −10 EV sensitivity uses AF-S, ISO 100, an f/1.2 lens and 20°C.
